evaluating progress

I was just wondering how long it took for people to notice gains. Ive been going for about a month and physically it doesn't seem like much is happening eventhough it feels some days like things are happening.
Also what amounts did u use to grow? Right now I am taking 1500mg a day of fenugreek and red clover, and 2400mg of saw palmetto. Is that enough or should I had some? The main thing I notice is mood swings. I cry alot now for no reason but thats about it.

yep. give it time. Cisgendered women have several years to grow boobies. It won't happen over night.
As for the crying, welcome aboard and get used to it.

When I did my first herbal try. I was using SP, Fenugreek, Milkthistle, and wild yam. I had within a week began feeling minor signs of growth, Burning feeling in breast, itching, pain, and so on.
As for the crying, yes I had that too. Most of all, I had more energy as as a side effect.

Its been five months since I started my current journey so an update is in order. I apparently have grown half an inch according to the tape measure I will recheck in a day or to to make sure. It gives me so much confidence to keep going. Here is my current routine.
Fenugreek 2000mg (500mg x 4)
Red Clover 1500mg (500mg x 3)
Saw Palmetto 3000mg (1000mg x 3)

Are you doing anything else besides taking the herbs?
Such as massages? Most people on this board claim that if you're not doing massages then everything is pointless :/
Also, I'm guessing these herbs you take are in pill form?
What gets me is people say that pills aren't as effective as liquids, because by the time the pills get digested, there's not enough there to be effective. Plus, it kills your liver or something.

I forgot to mention that yes I am massaging twice a day. I am using plain old ordinary body lotion. I find that it's not what you massage with, but the fact that you are massaging thats important.

Yep...thats the conclusion that I've come to when reading many anecdotes about breast development.
Its the action of getting more blood circulation to the areas.
I cant believe no one is talking about Milk thistle.
When I was on here last,I was talking about it all the time.
It causes more circulation in the breasts and upper chest and also the pelvis.
I take it all the time.I really feel the difference when Im taking it and when I am not. I get a lot more swelling and such in the days preceding a full moon,than I did when I wasnt taking it.
You should get at least 600-700 mg of standardized extract.
I wrote about iot in a past topic post...its in the back archives.
I wrote tons of herb articles awhile back.

After remeasuring myself, it appears that I haven't grown at all. Which is kind of frustrating because I have been going mostly steady for about six months now. It feels some days like stuff is happening but the growth is just not there. If crying was an indicator of growth I would have that in spades. Many times I have cried my eyes out for no reason whatsoever. Help and input would be appreciated. Thanks!
Here is what I am currently taking
Saw Palmetto 1 x 1000mg 3 times a day
Fenugreek 2 x 500mg 3 times a day
Red Clover 1 x 450mg 3 times a day
I also massage twice a day with body lotion

I suggest you use phytoestrogenic oils with your massage. I've added this to my regime of red clover, hops and saw palmentto and I've grown an inch in a couple of months. I rub lavander oil and wild yam cream twice a day. Hope this helps
