I've been looking at some reviews about Breast Actives

and I am pretty impressed by what some of the ladies are saying.

I'm still not really sure and I have to ask the question, does Breast Actives Work?

I really hope that some of the PublicHealthForums.com members can help me out with this one.

Lisa.

UPDATE
Nicole Posted a great guide to using Breast Actives: http://www.publichealthforums.com/f-91-guide-to-using-breast-actives.html

UPDATE 2: January 12, 2008
The ladies have convinced me to show my before and after pictures . I've thought about it long and the best way to do send my pictures to you by email that way there aren't thousands of eyes looking at them. PublicHealthForums has been nice enough to allow you to contact them and they will forward all of your requests. Select "Other" as the department, enter your name, email address & state that you would like to see Lisa's before and after pictures in the comments box.

Nicole good for you joining the club and all. Hey the big consensus around here has been to try protien shake with it like the body fortress you can purchase at wal-mart 2 lb container in Vanilla it tastes good. also back several pages were some excersize tips and back even further was a list of estrogen rich foods to try to encorporate into your diet it seems to have help a few on the forum. I have not had the same results as some of the others but I have had about half an inch or so. And lots of firming. I am in my fourth month and I think I will continue after to see how great of results I can get. See if I can get as much as I would like or if it stops at a point. OK talk soon. LOVE AND LIGHT

My husband had always said he is not a boob man and that he was fine with mine. He's not the kind of man that would turn his head when he sees a beautiful woman with nice breasts, but I'm sure he notices and enjoys seeing them. That's why I want BA to work... not just so I can feel good about myself when I put on a bathing suit, but for him as well. I wanted to see his response about men and women with big breasts (based on what Marie and Cantrun said). He just laughed and wasn't going to respond with words. So I insisted on a response, he finally said that the butt is more important. I mentioned before that I had some weight gain while on BA. The butt is where we both noticed the most weight gain, which was fine with us. He suggested I use BA on my butt to see if it would work on my breasts LOL.

As far as BA's effect on my breasts, I've been using it for almost 4 1/2 months and am not seeing anymore increase. I noticed last month (when I last posted), I had good progess and was getting hopeful. Then my period came and they started getting small again until close to ovulation, when they started getting larger. But when comparing where I am now to where I was last month, they look smaller to me this month than last month. Strange thing is when I took out the tape measure, I measured 1cm more than last month. So then I second guess my measurements. Perhaps my measurements were a little more snug last month compared to this month and 1cm is not a whole lot of difference so maybe my observations are more accurate than my measurements. This is really nerve wracking. Cantrun, I did consisder taking BA for a few more months beyond the 6 months, but baseed on my recent observations, I don't think I will. While I had small increase in size over the 4 1/2 months, I'm not continuing to see the increase. I started to research other products and came across Perfect Woman. There were excellent testimonials from women who have used the product & some reviews rated it pretty well. It goes back to our body chemistry being different & what works for one person may not work for another and another product may work better for that person. I believe that natural breast enhancement products do work. I just have to find one that works better for me. After my six months, I'm planning on taking a break from using any breast enhancement products for a while. During this period of time, I'll continue to research other products and maybe try again later. Marie & Obregata, I'm so glad you're happy with your increase. I hope there are even more BA sisters out there with similar results as you two. I know that I still have 1 1/2 month left and I sound like I've given up. In a way I have b/c I'm at the home stretch and still not gotten the increase I'm looking for. I was a small 32A and hoped for at least a full 32A. I was trying to be realistic and don't think I'm being unreasonable. It seems I was fuller in the first month, when my body was not used to BA in my system, then I am now. Several good things came out of using BA. My breasts are firmer, they are more defined and rounder. The more defined and roundness I got I only noticed in the past 2 months or so. They look nicer, I'm just dissappointed with the size increase I've gotten. BTW, my husband says they are larger and says he would have noticed it even if he didn't now I'm on BA. Well, good luck to all.

It seems to be that instead of the advertised 2-3 cup growth its more like 1 and firmer for most. I'm still hopeful, but like Vivki, I'm not going to be expecting amazing results so that if it doesn't happen I don't disappoint myself too much. I'm a 32A (I'm thinking AA on the right side, my bras never fit both right) and only realized this after thinking my bras were too big (32B) so I tried on an A and just about died when I realized it fit. I am 5'4", 135 lbs, 33" 26" 34"...sounds proportionate, until you factor in the bubble butt. I'm almost self concious to turn sideways! lol. I think I could live with my "butt chin" and other (character-building attributes) if I was more even.

I was raised on eating red meat every night, a glass of milk a day, etc. I'm a little thicker, and vitamin C is my best friend. I'm quite healthy, never usually get sick, hardly even a cold, I just eat well. =P I use the cream twice a day and take the pills at night. My breasts realllllly ache, especially when I use the cream twice a day. I can harldy even lay on them. (especially the smaller one) I hope this means its working really good! haha. Hopefully we all get what we are looking for! I think I will try the protein shake as well. Not to be *dirty* but there is a natural source of protein probably parked in front of the tv at your house right now...apparently, also very good for your skin. Something to think about, I guess. =D

wow vicki, i'm into it about 4 1/2 months too and am in kind of the same situation as yours. i'm only 20 and i have a boyfriend who is not that much of a boobman. he likes butts nd he always says he likes my butt. the thing is,though, i really want some BOOBS! ah! i really don't like how i'm 20 and can't even fit into a 34A bra. it really depresses me at times. i started out as a 34 AAA probably. i don't consider it even a 34AA it was probably the smallest size you could've ever seen. i had really low self esteem and i was rooting for at least a full 34A. i've been into this 4 1/2 months now and i did get firmer and i did get rounder and i did increase in size just a little tiny bit. probably about to a 34AA. i mean, it is an increase, you know. but not noticeable at all and although i knew a 34B was going to be impossible for me, i started out praying that it would be so nice if i could have that increase. but no, i guess my body is too resistent for this product to work. i read results like obregata who had almost a two cup size gain and can't be anymore jealous than now lol. but like everyone keeps saying, body chemistry is different for everyone. i guess BreastActives wasn't really the right one for me.
but anyway, i was actually thinking the same thing vicki--to look for a different product right after this. but i wasn't too sure if it would be good for my body to be on these supplements for too long a time. so now i'm thinking about taking a couple months off after i am done with all of my 6 bottles. i'm not gonna get any reimbursements because it did help me get a bit of increase. i'm still honestly disappointed about the increase in size but you know, maybe there will be another product out there that'll work for me. and just the fact that taking these pills kinda keeps me optimistic and holds me back on thinking about getting boobjobs is, i think, a good thing.

oh, and one question if anyone is out there to answer my question: are birth control pills supposed to increase your breast size a little? my friends told me that if you start taking birth control pills, your breasts inflate a little. well i just started taking birth control pills because my boyfriend kept fretting about the idea of getting me pregnant. thing is though, i didn't see any increase in size. and so this is my first cycle and have been on my period (or breakthrough bleeding) for about a week and a half now? this has never happened to me before so it's kinda freakish actually. idon't know if it has anything to do with Breast Actives but just that i'm not getting any other "benefits" other than the fact that the birth control pills are preventing me from getting pregnant, is kinda annoying.
is there anyone out there that's like me? is it that i have a ridiculously low amount of estrogen in my body? or what is this? breast actives don't work, birth control pills don't make me gain any fat tissue around the breast but my belly. at times like this, i really just want to hate my body.

janie, i may have read this wrong, but its your first box of pills? because im also twenty and i started birth control almost a year ago. and for most people it doesnt get your period on a normal cycle until the second or third month. and as for me, i got zero growth in breasts because of birth control. like you i was also hoping that would be a added perk to the pill. oh well right?

I haven't heard much of breasts getting bigger due to BC, but they may get a little "swollen" (for lack of a better word). I experienced that when I was taking birth control, but only I noticed of course...

When I tried Depo Provera, the BC shot that lasts for three months, I got the shot and then bled a little every day for three months straight so that it wasn't even worth it to get the shot in the first place, because I couldn't do anything!! If you are on your period for an abnormally long amount of time, you should consult your doctor and perhaps try a differently balanced pill (you may need less or more of a certain ingredient) or even a different option such as the patch, shot, etc. A normally long period can be up to 5 days, after 7 I suggest you definately see your doctor because something could be wrong and you could get very sick. I had a friend that bled for weeks straight before she went to the doctor, and she became very ill and weak because of it...something along the lines of losing iron and other such things.

I think it varies depending on what type of birth control you're using. I was on a very low-dose hormone BC called ortho tri-cyclen lo. This had a small amount of estrogen and after taking it for two years, I had absolutely no change in my breasts. On the other hand, my friend went up almost two cup sizes after a few months on her birth control. The downside is, she gained about ten pounds.

BC puts estrogen in your system. Some women do gain breast tissue or bigger in the lower half. It is due to the hormone increase in your body. Abnormal bleeding is something you should definately talk to your doctor about. I was on BC since I was thirteen due to female problems. Because when I was younger BC was the magic cure-all for any women issues. Then after haveing my daughter (child #2) I decided to try depo prevera I bled the whole time I was on it. I had a girl friend who never got a period she was on it for three years. I also before having a hysto- got put on Depo something to cause my system to go into menapause it was a preventive measure trying to use another option so that I would not have to have a hysto, Like I said I had bad female problems. THe long and short of it is At twenty five I should have went on hormones however Estrogene replacement Therapy has a tendancy like BC to make you gain weight. So be careful on BC, If you notice anything abnormal call your dr. Some women do gain some breast and many women gain weight. Just like getting pregnant. It works for some and not all. Hey isn't that the story of all female products? Works for some not all.... HMMMMMMMM. Interesting Very interesting. OK LOVE AND LIGHT TO ALL

hey girls, I decided to give Actives a try. I'm a 27 year old and I've always been small on top-about a 34 B but not a full one. I'm petite too- about 5 4'' and 108-110 lbs.
I've been using Actives for about three weeks now and have noticed a slight improvement. B/c I exercise everyday, I'm already firm but I've noticed that 'the girls' are a bit firmer and perkier than usual and my bras are fitting a bit more snugly. I also feel a slight sensitivity in the area. My guess (from other symptoms) is that my estrogen levels might be slightly higher since taking the product. I hope to be 34 C someday and I'm willing to continue using the product for 6 months to see if that will happen. One thing to my disadvantage is that I'm addicted to coffee -but one factor to my advantage is that I'm an exercise addict too lol. We'll see what happens.
