Hey everyone,
I've had an account here since December 2013, and I've visited this site somewhat regularly since 2011. I haven't posted much, but the creation of the "Males Staying Males" section encouraged me to post a bit more.
My username is Epicene for good reason. I'd like to approach a more androgynous/indefinite physical appearance. I'm gender fluid, but I'm fine staying male. I'd just like to become more physically feminine to balance out my maleness.
I've questioned my gender a lot since I was 11 or 12, and I even thought I was transgender for a while. I started developing mild gynecomastia around 13 and started to enjoy having at least a part of my body was a bit more feminine. As I got older, I realized that I really had no desire to become female. I identify a bit with both genders mentally, and I dislike being excessively male in appearance.
I'd abandoned ever acting upon my gender dysphoria(for lack of a better term) for years since I assumed no gender specialist would agree to help me go only part of the way with HRT. I discovered NBE in 2009 and didn't really believe it was legitimate until 2011 when I found BreastNexus. I did a ton of research for years and decided to start experimenting with a few different regimes in early 2013. I'd already been on saw palmetto since my later teens to help manage acne. I tried fenugreek first with mostly temporary effects, and the smell got to be annoying. I tried black cohosh which altered my nipples a bit, but I didn't want to up the dose or take it too far due to it's hazards. I tried red clover and spearmint in place of saw palmetto, but they didn't help my acne. Also, I tried maca which feminized my body shape fairly well in combination with the saw palmetto. Later in 2013 I finally decided to order some PM and join Breastnexus. I started on PM at 500mg a day for a few months just to see how my body would handle it. It gave me budding and swelling, but the effects were temporary. I also decided to try BO for a month which seemed to work very well for me at a low dose, but it upset my stomach easily. In late 2014 I ordered a larger supply of PM which lasted up until about May. I took 1000 mg daily for the most part with decent results in softening my skin and altering my fat deposits a bit. My breasts were very sore and sensitive but didn't have any permanent effects. I've been off of PM for a bit over two months, and they're the same as before PM now.
I'm probably going to take 1500-2500 mg the next time around, and I may try to change antiandrogens, but I'm not really sure when that will be since I've got to save a bit of money. I may post progress pics when the next round starts.
Anyway, that's pretty much my NBE story that I haven't posted much about before. You'll probably see a little bit more of me posting here since the new section and the apparent clearing of the "flame" wars. This is definitely a great community, and you're all very helpful.
