At what point should my breasts start to grow noticeably? They are starting to feel tender (about like during the second half of my menstrual cycle), but I don't notice any other changes yet. Just curious to hear from others who have done this! Thanks, and Happy New Year everyone! Rita PAP #1, Just starting the protocol Hoping to achieve my dream to become a mother and BF in 2008!

I was anxious to see changes at the time, so I understand where you're coming from!!! I JUST wanted my body to work in this ONE way!! It will happen. Good luck! Look forward to hearing your progress with induction as well as adoption!! Erin 1year on regular protocol. Nursing/pumping for one month for our sweet girl!!

Yes, I'm slightly anxious about getting this to work, so am wondering what a typical response is. Thanks! -Rita Just starting the protocol

But as long as you follow the guide to the protocols things should happen.
