Coda-- From what I've read, these herbs won't interfere with BCs...BUT, when taking herbs, you should never rely solely what you read on a message board. You have people who THINK they know everything about everything on these boards...and many times they don't know what they are talking about. If you don't know how to research the herbs yourself, then you shouldn't be taking them. Don't get me wrong...most people on these boards are just sharing their experience and knowledge and are not trying to put one over on anyone...that's why I'm here. But with something as imprtant as your BC, I wouldn't trust anyone but myself in gaining the correct info. IP: Logged |

WOW! That bra sounds painful to me! I think I would just whip out my old breast pump and use that to save money! LOL And about the birth control pill and herb reactions; check with your doc or pharmacist--they would be able to help you on that. Good luck everyone. IP: Logged |

As a matter of fact, I did do research on whether the herbs affected the BC pill. Everything I read said it was inconclusive or no evidence of effects on BC. I just wanted input from people who actually took the herbs. I DO know how to do research. Thank you for insulting my intelligence. And by the way, for everyone who wanted updates on progress, when I run out of herbs next week, I will discontinue taking them. They did nothing at all for increasing my breast size. They may work for some people, but did nothing at all for me. IP: Logged |

Very dramatic response Coda **applauding** Look, I'm not trying to insult your intelligence. Most of your previous posts all sounded as if you didn't do any research. I'm sorry if I offended you. Why are you giving up only after taking for about a month (on 1/4/02 you said you had been taking the herbs for a week)? You are right, it may or may not work...but it most likely won't work in the amount of time you have been taking them. Consistancy and time is the only way has a chance of working. IP: Logged |

I too am sorry if I offended you....I was just thinking about the easiest way for you to find out if the herbs would harm the effects of the BC pill. I was also in a WEIRD mood when I wrote that response. But I still think the bra sounds painful!! IP: Logged |

Now I know why I'm usually a lurker on any message board that I follow. People come to these boards looking for help, and receive insulting and sarcastic comments. Packerfan, you didn't insult me. Toonces, your attempt at an apology was completely nullified by the first sentence you wrote. By the way I was not looking for "dramatic" results in a month. I was looking for any increase whatsoever, no matter how small it was, and nothing happened. IP: Logged |

quote: That was kind of my point before, Coda. Don't look for help on these boards. Look to exchange experience and gain ideas to look into, but don't look for answers here. My original post to you was not insulting...you chose to interpret it that way. Your comment quote:was a total over-reaction. So, my apology wasn't too heart-felt, but it wasn't sarcastic either. Take it easy Coda...don't take something from a complete stranger on a message board so harshly. I really am not trying to hurt your feelings. My original post directed to on 1/26 was only to say "do your homework." It concerns me that someone might start taking herbs without looking into them. Some herbs can be dangerous, and not everyone is aware of that. When you were asking about how these effect your BC, that is a serious concern. All I was saying is to research it yourself from a reliable source. While this message board is very interesting and sometimes informative, nothing from this board should be taken as accurate until you have verified it with research. I still can't offer you a sincere apology for saying to research the herbs or don't take them. I also won't apologize for spoofing your reaction to my post. All I can say is I am not intending to offend you. IP: Logged |

It's true that these herbal products can work and work very well. I have had an opportunity to speak with the original developer of one of the first herbal breast products out there. The main function of these herbal mixtures is to balance female hormones. The results often lead to better fertility, easier menstrual cycle and yes, breast growth and enhancement. But like someone mentioned before, everyone is different. Some women experience more breast growth then others. A little over 82% actually develop bigger breasts. You need to be very selective when you purchase one of these products. Many use Black Cohosh which will speed up the breast enhancing process but the results are temporary. You want one that's going to last. There are some excellent herbal products that aren't too costly, and have a good mixture to them. I would recommend doing that, then to actually mix a bunch of herbs together yourself. One product that I know is done by a master herbalist is Bustful. I hope this helps out. I've done quite a biy of research on the topic and know people who are involved directly with herbs. Feel free to ask me questions and I'll be happy to share what I know. -Jenny [This message has been edited by moderator3 (edited 02-20-2002).] IP: Logged |

Toonces has great advice! All herbs should be investigated and you should know exactly what they do. As for the black cohosh, it is said to mostly be used for hot flashes, menopause. And also used as an Astringent, emmenagogue, diuretic, alterative, expectorant. It is also said to discontinue it's use after six months. Sue IP: Logged |

Just a couple of things on my mind... First of all, I don't want to increase my cup size, just "fill out" the skin that got stretched during my pregnancies, and go back to my past firmer self. Has anyone had any experiences with this? Secondly, it's true that people have different experiences with different combinations. A recent post stated fennel didn't work for one girl. For me, it worked great... during breastfeeding (but I wouldn't recommend supplementing during nursing.. I just put more fennel into my food). It's known to dramatically increase milk production; in fact my lactation consultant told me this. So it would work, I think, for some gals for breast enhancement. (Incidentally, sage can dry up milk, so could it also have the effect of decreasing breast size??? Something to think about, maybe.) And last of all, I have heard that black cohosh can be harmful for some. Some physicians recommend steering clear of it, even if you're trying to find something to alleviate symptoms of menopause. I can't remember why, but I THINK it had something to do with increased cancer rates (I can't remember what kind, but it was either breast cancer or cancer of reproductive organs). IP: Logged |

I know that God has placed all provisions in nature to maintain and improve our overall well being, through out life! It is a matter of knowing what and when, and we are all unique, so what works for some may not for others, but there are ways to improve ourselves and this is certainly with breast health and beauty. I tried the bloussant and it worked, but soon after discontinuing the use, things resumed, I too gained weight, which I did not like that, at all. I will try something new soon! By the way, implants, etc... are not ruled out, but I will never pursue such drastic measures without thorough research! I will write more later, for this is truly a topic that is crucial to females, we want to remain lovely and attractive throughout life... ------------------ IP: Logged |

I tried natural curves and one other product. I used them each for about 3 months each with aout a 1.5 month breack in between. I felt soreness in my breasts when starting, but after they were gone i was still a 34 AA. Also, my period stopped coming for about 6 months and i had to go on birth control to get it back.

Hi all, There is a sucker born every minute and mfgrs. of various products know that. God gave each of you a beautiful body, now all you have to do is appreciate His handy work. Look at it in another way, having large boobs is not always the best thing to seek. Large dense boobs obscure finding cancer via mammograms. Large boobs does not mean you will be more able to nurse your babies. My daughter has almost nothing and nurses her babies for a year, plenty of milk. I had large boobs and went dry in 3 months. Many of the herbs and combinations are not healthy. Some are plant estrogens and will play a part in possible breast cancer also. For the lady that wants to fill out her stretched boobs after having children: roll'em up and tuck 'em in a smaller cup bra. I still remember an older lady saying she and her sisters were always jealous of one sister with beautiful boobs. They finally asked her how she could still have beautiful boobs and the rest of them not. The above roll'em up tuck'em was her answer! Enjoy what God gave you and enjoy excellent health too. If a man is looking for boobs only, then he is not much of a man and you should look else where for a man who appreciates you for who you are and not your boob size. Marie IP: Logged |

Hallelujah Marie! Look Marie, different strokes for different folks. No one here needs preaching about this. You contributed nothing informative to this thread. It is dandy that you are so confident in your body, but if you find no personal need for breast enhancement then why the heck are you reading and posting to this subject. Do your research before throwing a cancer scare into this--that is irresponsible and flippant of you. Get over yourself! IP: Logged |

Marie, I applaud you!! After I noticed the burning folder and 50+ posts on this topic, I just had to see what all the fuss was about. I must say, I feel a little sad that all the women posting here feel their breasts need improving. Why has this become such an issue in this country? I truly believe that as long as women keep giving into this pressure to be a certain size, it will only get worse. What kind of standards are we trying to set for other women, not to mention the young girls who are growing up trying to fit into some kind of "mold" where their breast size is concerned. Just a thought... IP: Logged |

Has anyone had results taking a birth control pill? If so, which one and how long did it take to see results? What kind of growth did you have? Did you gain weight else where? I'm currently taking some herbs already, saw palmetto, feungreek, and vitex. I also apply wild yam cream at night.. think it's supposed to be used twice a day, but I don't have the time to wait for it to dry 2 times a day. I'm hoping going on the pill will help give the rest of this stuff a boost. IP: Logged |

This subject is truly a hot topic, and I want to contribute another comment. I think the idea of breast enhancement is not just about size, but a multi varied need and desire in our society today. God made each of us different and He has blessed us with the miracles of modern science, for the purpose of health, beauty, and maintenance, etc... We must be responsible to take great care with the lives He has given and to make wise and sound choices accordingly! Breast enhancement is a part of these blessings. Herbs, medical science is at our disposal, but agiain, the use and knowledge of these means come with responsibility... I am 46, my breast are healthy and beautiful, but I would like to have them a bit fuller. Breast enhancement is not just about size, but many reasons that are as varied and complex as each female that has an interest in this matter. As for as the health factor goes, there are no certainties in this life about anything, however, I think we must live life to the fullest and be very grateful and caring in our participation! Thank you, and have a great day! Flexfire [This message has been edited by flexfire (edited 03-19-2002).] IP: Logged |

Hi all I am currently a B-cup looking to be a full C or small D (folly?).Instead of spending extra money on the brand name herbal enhancers, I researched the ingredients and I am now taking the Holy Trinity of Fgreek, WYam and SPalmetto capsules (from a regular heal food store). I also break fennel capsules into tea about twice a day. I've been doing this for just over a week now and already I have noticed more fullness and heaviness. This stuff really works- although for how long remains to be seen. I am also on the pill, so I'm anxious to see how they interact. From the research that I've done, WYam and Fennel aid in contraception. Has anyone heard anything more on this? IP: Logged |

Hello everyone, Just a quick note to ask if anyone here has gone through with breast surgery, receiving impmants!? If so I would appreciate learning about your experience, ( pros/cons) and would you recommend others for this surgery? Also, if you had the choice to do the surgery again, would you?! Thank you, FlexFire Have a great day! IP: Logged |

Hello everyone! I know that it's terrible that everyone is so obsessed with their breasts, but that's just the way society is today. A lady must be tall, ultra thin, with large breasts. I have been flat chested forever. Never had any children. Always wanted a large chest. Anyway, in January 2002 I got breast implants placed under the muscle thru the nipple. It took me about a week of pain pills to recover, but then I was able to go back to work. I love them. I think they're beautiful. I can finally wear the clothes I've been wanting to wear. It evened me out. I'd like to talk to anyone interested about it. IP: Logged |

Thanks Young Osteopenia, I appreciate your information and the fact you have a success story to share. I would like to learn all you have to say about your personal experience, from start to finish. I am seriously considering implants as a viable option. Respectfully, FlexFire ------------------ [This message has been edited by flexfire (edited 03-28-2002).] IP: Logged |

I tried Natural Curves and one other product which I don't remember. Neither of them worked after taking each for 3 months. I don't remember which one, but one of them actually messed up my period cycle, causing me to not have my period for about 6 months. Then I went on birth control and had my period once, but when I stopped taking it it went away again. I'm just getting ready to go on it again. IP: Logged |

Thanks Susie. Also sorry for mis-spelling replies, I knew it felt wrong when I typed it but was in too much of a hurry to proof read that day... I am still looking into implants as a viable option unless a lift is better and in my favor. [This message has been edited by moderator2 (edited 04-11-2002).] IP: Logged |

I visited one site for natural breast enlarging products, which just sells the herbs seperatly. recommends between 1500 and 3000mg (or even 4500mg) of EACH of fenugreek, saw palmetto, and wild yam per day. (plus 1-2tbsp fennel and fenugreek powder added to food each day) I bought these herbs locally, and the bottles recommend only 1500mg of the fenugreek, and 1000mg of the saw palmetto and the wild yam each per day. I also bought fennel and Damiana tea. I hesitate to take more than the bottles I bought recommend, but do you think this is enough? What dosages are the rest of you taking? IP: Logged |

Hi Carnal, I'm going to try the same herbs you are taking. How long have you been using the herbs, are there results, and have you gained weight?! Seems as though some women gain weight when taking breast enhancing herbs. I used Bloussant and experienced weight gain, that I did not like at all. I'm 5'3" tall and have to keep my ideal weight about 120 lbs. IP: Logged |

Like an idiot...I just tried the breast cream that is supposed to "swell them" in 5 minutes!! (or your money back!) Needless to say, my BF and I eagerly massaged the cream into one breast (I'm a 34B) to watch it GROW! Well, amazingly - it didn't! LOL It is on it's way back in the mail today. I was prepared for the disappointment and my BF said don't EVER buy anything like that again - he loves them the way they are - but he IS a breast man and though I've never paid attention to my breasts before -I find myself in revealing scoop necks and buying the latest GEL bras to push me up even further.... sheesh! I have them 'hanging out there' just for his sake!!! I have to get over this as he insists he is not checking out boobs all the time and realize mine ARE fine. But - it's hard sometimes to not feel inadequate. I know I am FINE... but.... I'm sure some of you can understand... you want to be the "best" for your mate. I would never consider surgery as I have cysts and mine are dense...I wouldn't dare hinder my health with something fake! So I am sticking to my gel bras and SMILE when I see a pair of implants. I prefer my "pads" on the outside - not the inside. IP: Logged |

If you would like to know the risks or side effects of any of the breast enhancement herbs, use a search engine (such as Google), type in the name of the herb and the words "risks" and "side effects". DON'T go to the links that sell these products, use only the medical links (you can usually guess which is which, and save yourself a lot of time, just by looking carefully at the web address of the link). I think the herbs may work for some, and not for others - they didn't work for me after taking them faithfully for 3 months, and I used the 4 most recommended in previous postings to this topic: Wild yam, fenugreek, saw palmetto, and fennel. I've been researching the Brava bra, and, like the herbs, they seem to work for some people and not others. It sounds as if the women who are in their 20's and 30's or younger, and any who have not given birth, and have tried the Brava bra had little or no visable growth; whereas most older women who had previously given birth at least gained noticible firmness and fullness. I'm like a lot of the women who posted on here: I'd just like to see 'em a little more perky and round. Breastfeeding and gravity and age sure did a number on my little A-cups, so since the herbs didn't work, I'm seriously considering the Brava. Has anyone on here tried it?
