Initially, I took 2x1000mg at night and 1 in the morning. I was aware of things happening, but felt it was too slow, so for about a week and a half, I went to 3 at night and 3 in the morning. This had the desired effect of kick starting some big changes and I began to get tender and aware of nipple buds. I had been taking SP, but discontinued it, at this time, as I had an uncomfortable reaction and became aware that it can cause liver damage. I find it hard to recall, precisely, how long I took to get to that point, I would say between 6 and 8 weeks. I was aware, before that, of my chest getting fattier, my nipples becoming permanently erect and of them pointing slightly to the side, rather than straight ahead. By 3 to 3 and 1/2 months into my programme, removing my shirt in public had become something I was uneasy, about doing.
Last Autumn, I found myself without PM, for about a fortnight, and resorted to fenugreek, as a substitute. In that time, I lost all tenderness and began increasing the dose, of PM, to try and kick start things again. It took about a week to 10 days , on 8 capsules a day, to get going again and I was, now, also taking 2 capsules of wild yam [405 mg] Once things began to get going again, I cut the PM back to 4 capsules a day. I have to say that, during that time I really feared I had blown it. I have stuck with 2 capsules at night + 1 of wild yam and the same around lunch time. It is working very nicely and I cannot, any longer hide the fact I have boobs
In fact I have recently seen big changes, in that most of the recent growth has been high up on my boobs, which, suddenly, in a matter of 2 days, felt hugely bigger. It is hard to explain but they feel so different; like these really are boobs, and I am soon going to have to play around with the adjustment of the straps on my bras.
The PM I get from pueriaria-mirifica.co.uk, the wild yam from Holland and Barret. The PM claims to be 100% pure, so it could be, that, where people are unhappy with PM, they have bought inferior tablets and/or not used the strategy of kick starting growth with a large dose. I should say, here that I am not recommending staying on a high dose, there are suggestions that that could be counter productive. The correct dose is the one where you are aware of things happening, day in and day out. If you have no obvious feelings, massage your breasts. It is amazing how that will wake things up. However, I have come to the conclusion that the body is slow to react to and start using this oestrogen mimic, unless it is present in large quantities, that simply cannot be ignored. Many BO users report a similar effect.
