[HelloDiDi]

Thanks Lara
I make sure to follow your thread and it helps me a lot to set myself guidelines regarding therapy. I've been following your transformation since the beginning and you've achieved a huge result, so you're a model of discipline and goals for many here.
I'm switching to one more capsule from tomorrow, so it will be 5 capsules a day BO. At the end of August or the beginning of September, I plan to increase the dose by one more capsule, so it will be like in your case, 6 capsules, or 1500 mg BO. And only then I expect the growth to intensify.
Growth is still present, about 5 mm per month. I currently have occasional chest pains, burning and itching. My nipples are very sensitive and the feeling is phenomenal

Aww thank you. I so much love to be helpful and hopefully inspire. I'm so thankful for Lotus and bunch of others who have been giving me ideas to tinker with. So far I think the entire combination of hormone magic is working with near perfection.

Five caps a day so that's 1250mg if you're on Swanson brand? How have you been feeling while on it? And are you taking iodine in some form for keeping your core temperature high enough? I noted things to speed up when I added iodine for this purpose just weeks after I first started. First from kelp and then along with other stuffs in my multivitamin I've been on since.

For me each bump on the dosage brought in faster and more dramatic growth, each time there has been a spurt that lasted about 2-3 months and then it kind of stabilised. So two months on the optimal dose right now and its nothing short of amazing. Currently I have almost four month supply with another two month supply arriving tomorrow or tuesday, plan is to keep on going for now as its working out so well. Once I start to reach goals, I plan to taper down to 500mg per day and then keep it there, maybe for a long time to come because I feel BO is fantastic hormone balancer which works amaizngly along with HRT.

It is very likely that going on 1500mg WILL make you experience more of the good stuff if it has worked fine so far. Aches, dull pain somewhere deep behind nipples, areola or entire breasts tingling and itching are typical symptoms to expect while on it. For me it has gone through the roof again after the latest changes. Typically after more intense growth pains, it tapers down after 2-3 months and then its the normal occasional coming and going kind.

This is really interesting to watch because bovine ovary is such a wild card on who benefits and who doesn't. I still would love to get to the bottom of it, what makes it tick because its definitely not a thing for everybody. So far besides myself Melissa and I think Tomi66 here on BN are ones who have benefit the most.
