Absolutely do NOT start with the placebos. Your packet will say that you need to start with the ACTIVE pills Smile

As for the boobs, everyone is different.

Take all the pills in the order that they are in the package. Never start with the placebo pills- they don't have any hormones in them. What good would that do?
