My non-fem NBE journey -
Val_ - 26-05-2014
I know some of you are skeptical of my ideas, and I don't blame you. Before I started, I was skeptical too. I only started my journey because I told myself I was going in with zero expectations, and so it was worth a shot.
Before I started, I was very interested and curious about breast enlargement. I never knew it was possible for men to "grow" breasts, but as I read more, I realised it was possible. I learnt about hormones and HRT. Then I came across this forum, and was introduced to the world of NBE. NBE has a huge advantage. No doctors or therapists involved, and completely legal. Still, as I read, I discovered that even NBE can have very serious and permanent effects. I was concerned about a few effects as I was doing this as experimentation and in stealth. I did not want to risk discovery. I can explain away breasts growth, but enlarged nipples and loss of function below would be extremely hard to hide. I'm in a straight relationship and sexually active, and happy to keep it that way.
After much consideration, I decided against the usual NBE herbs like PM. Instead, in May 2013, I started on a breast cream that was very highly rated. It contains many herbs, PM included. To my surprise, the cream did have some effect. I would usually apply it for a week, and when I felt or saw some changes, I would stop for another week or two. I was being very careful about my NBE. In about 6 months, I could tell that my breasts had grown. I stopped the cream. It was then that I started taking Maca Root (750mg) and SP (640mg), to see if there was any effect on my butt. After a while, I stopped.
In Feb 2014, I restarted the cream and Maca and SP again. I couldn't stop myself any longer, and wanted to grow my breasts even more. I told myself, I at least wanted to be able to fill my bras. Because I started feeling the effects, I did the start-stop with the cream again. In Mar 2014, I increased my SP to 960mg. It might have been a coincidence, or it might have been the SP, but after that, I found that my breasts seem to grow more than before. In fact, I was starting to see the breast profile quite clearly, and at a certain angle, there was almost that concave/pointy shape of a woman's breast. Since then, I've stopped the cream, but am continuing the Maca+SP.
A little note about wanting to fill my bras. I have quite a number of bras, and I don't properly fill them or look good in them. However, it was only fairly recently that I discovered the subreddit ABraThatFits, and realised I had been wrong about my size all this time! It wasn't that I couldn't fill my bras, it was that I was wearing the wrong size!
Before starting NBE:
Overbust: 38"
Underbus: 34"
Current:
Overbust: 41"
Underbust: 35"

I also want to write a bit about how NBE has affected me.
Having breasts has changed my life! And I mean this is a good way. I've always found my body unattractive. I grew up having small moobs, and over the recent years, I gained a bit of weight as well. Since I've had breasts, whenever I look in the mirror and I see them, I feel... good. Not like, super hot and attractive, but, I just feel good about myself. I love looking at my breasts, the curves, the shape. They're not super feminine breasts, nor big, but they're mine and I love them. I love the little tingles when I'm showering and my arms brush across my chest. I love the shape of my chest when I wear a fitted T-shirt. Just yesterday, I threw on this old dry-fit type T-shirt that had shrunk in the dryer, and it hugged my chest and I could see the shape of my breasts and how they projected out. When I wear a fitting bra, I love seeing my breasts resting comfortably.
And because I feel good about my body, I also feel good. I'm in a generally better mood, and my sex drive has been great (might have to do with the Maca).

I've wanted breasts for most of my life. And, until last year, I thought it was impractical, if not impossible, to have my own. Well, now I have them, and I like them. Isn't it great?
Welcome to the forum, Val

I'm now on an updated program.
I'm now using a PM cream, along with the following:
Saw Palmetto 960mg
Maca 750mg
Stinging Nettle 500mg
Beta-Sitosterol 800mg

Thanks to Lotus, I'm trimming down my program. Because I am growing breasts without (or at least, with minimum) feminization, my program is weighted heavily to prevent DHT. DHT is just plain nasty, and reducing DHT has another great side-effect: hair loss prevention. Surprisingly, over the years, it does appear that an anti-DHT program coupled with a PM-based cream can lead to breast growth. With a catch: my areolas and nipples remained the same. No swelling, puffiness or increased sensitivity. That's good for me, and what I want, but that may be a negative point for others.
- NOW Foods Virgin Coconut Oil 2000mg
- Nature's Way Reishi 752mg
- California Gold Maca 500-1000mg
- Yanhee Beauty Breast Cream
I find the California Gold Maca to be less effective than NOW Foods, so I will switch back once I finish this bottle.
On top of supplements, I also go to the gym twice a week, mainly running and doing leg presses to lose weight and tone up my butt. I apply the Yanhee cream on my breasts, butt and hips.

Your case sounds a lot like where I started. I just wanted to grow a nice set of breasts. I was born a man and like being a man, and had no interest in chambering that. It felt right to me. But the more I went, the more involved I got in my journey, the more accepting I was to a new path. I'm not the same person I was years ago. I found who is supposed to be.
I once wanted to be a man with breasts.
Now, I know I am a woman with a penis.
I wish you well on this journey, sister, and will gladly offer any advice I can.

Thanks for sharing Etna! I guess we are always discovering and rediscovering ourselves. I'll have to see where my journey takes me.
