I got my ears pierced at 10G in April of 2009, and started stretching six months later, so I guess I've been stretching for about 16 months or so. With 8G-2G I waited about 8 weeks between sizes (with the exception of 6G; I waited longer for that one), and then I stayed at 2G for four or five months. It was sort of a temporary goal size since I really liked the way it looked and I wanted to get used to my expanding ears and be sure I wanted to make them bigger. Last October (four months ago) I finally went to 1G, where I stayed for three months because my ears just didn't want to stretch. Tried 0G in January and had some complications so now I'm back at 2G. I can still fit my 1G plugs in easily, though, and I plan on going back to 0G eventually.
I'm Lindsay.
I have 1/2" lobes and 11 piercings: left helix x2, both conches, both nostrils, septum, navel, and VCH.
My lobes are small but I know a lot about stretching and how to do it safely, so message me if you have any questions!

My ears were pierced at 16g when I was... 8?
Stretched a few sizes and back, nothing drastic.
Started stretching properly, at 12g, nearly 6 years ago now. Stayed at a few goal sizes for a while. A couple of hiccups, but nothign huge.
1" now and staying put this time.

I'm sorry, I have to ask. I'm not tryin to start anything so please don't respond with a flame, but why do you put the 0's instead of o's?
The sound of gun fire so loud and rapid, but it seems to be so quiet around me, and out of nowhere I feel peace cover me. I reach down and reload my ticket home. The taste of cold steel on my lips, and a second later silence fills the January air...

I bought a taper set around last November, and at the moment I'm at a 2g in my left lobe. I got my right lobe pierced at 16g about two months and a week ago, currently waiting to stretch. No pain or anything, but I'm giving it a bit to be safe. The only bump I had with my left was going from 6g to 4g after two months caused a rip. Downsized to 10g and worked it up after it healed to a 6g. I picked up some Jojoba to reduce the scarring and to keep a healthy lobe and the problem's pretty resolved now. My ears are pretty resilient and don't take too much time between stretches to heal up nice. I stretched just two weeks ago to 2g and it felt comfortable enough to pull and tug within a few days of stretching.

EDIT: Forgot to mention I started the kit stretching to 10g. Had 12g jewelry in for about two years prior.
