Prolactin Update

Prolactin Update

I've been taking prolactin ("Bountiful Breast" supplement) for my MS for about two years now. I should have written down when I first started taking it because I'm not as clear on the date when I started. I think it was August two years ago...so not quite two years yet. Anyway, prolactin is supposed to slow/stop/fix MS in mice and they are testing it with human subjects. They've also shown that other hormones besides prolactin can have this affect. They are testing with testosterone as well and so far are having positive results.

Prolactin is the "pregnancy/puberty hormone" which causes breast growth. Clearly this is the intent of the product (as evidenced by the name) but if it helps me with my MS, I don't care if it makes my boobs bigger...I wanted bigger boobs anyway! So as far as an update goes, I just ordered my DD bras. I am currently wearing a D bra, but it's starting to feel a tad snug at the underwire. That's a sign you need to up-cup! I will continue to wear the D bras as long as they fit, but something else has happened which leads me to believe that the D bras will be gone soon...I lost weight.

My back strap is a 36...it's been that size since I was about 14 years old. But recently I have started to lose weight and now all the back straps are feeling loose. This also happens as a bra ages and is washed...the elastic gets old and loses its recoil. Eventually all bras become too loose in the back strap, which is why they give you those extra hooks. You're supposed to start out on the widest setting and gradually pull into the tightest setting. The truth is that you should never go beyond the second hooks because by that point you distort the shape of your bra/cleavage. If you are at the third set of hooks, you need a new bra!

Why I felt the need to go on about that I have no idea! Anyway, my back strap is feeling very loose on my bras these days...especially the nude one (which I wear more often because it does't show). I ordered some new bras from Victoria's Secret (they're having a great bra sale) and so I guess when they arrive I'll be ready to switch out the nude bra for the new nude bra!

Considering that I was between an A and a B cup when I started this experiment, it's been pretty successful for growing boobs. I have less success to report so far on the MS front, but the good news is that I don't think I've progressed much further in the last two years either. I can't say that the prolactin is helping, but it doesn't seem to be hurting and might be helping in the long run. I'll keep taking it on the off chance that it is actually doing something. I suspect it will take years to affect the MS in a way that I notice. I suspect though that it is working behind the scenes. I'm willing to give it at least five years before I call it a success or failure.
