				Hello All!
My name is Jen, I have been a member since Oct (this is my first post) and still new to stretching.  Currently I am at 8g and almost ready to stretch up to 6g. Thanks to everyone here and this site! I have learned so much and how to stretch correctly and safely.  My goal is to have healthy lobes, size at this point is undetermined. 
Oh and I am 24 from Cedar Rapids, IA, USA

				Well just tried to stretch up to 6g but my ears said NO way.  I am going to wait a little while yet and keep doing oil massages and try again later.  A little disappointing but I'll get there someday.

I had to wait almost 3 months for one ear and almost 4 for the other .. then the 6 ga jumped in no problem .. since its the first big stretch sometimes you have to give your ears enough time to really loosen up on their own ... or you can always try taping but Its really hard at such smaller sizes .. good luck stretching  and nice to meet you m

				Thanks for the help and advice! I was able to stretch with no problem a couple of days ago.  Seems fine so far, no soreness, no redness, or anything at all. So happy I was able to make my first big step with no problems. I'm glad I waited until my ears were ready and didn't rush it.
