Hi Chestnut,
They are indeed a friendly bunch and very inspiring bunch in here.
My journey started in complete disbelief that a bloke could grow boobs, so very much an experiment that I was convinced would not work, I soon changed my mind and realised that boobs were indeed very possible
I developed my regime from Lotus's excellent research and others suggestions and was very happy with it, other than the amount of pills I was taking daily. I have existing health conditions that require blood tests for liver, kidneys etc every quarter / monthly if I'm not feeling well! Luckily, PM didn't cause any difference to my bloods / liver or kidney functions.
However, I was and am very conscious of how many NBE pills I'm taking on top of my meds.
This initially took me to taking PM etc rectally which I found to give stronger results so became my preferred method of administration.
Not sure if you've come across this in your research but anything orally is filtered by our internal organs whereas rectal administration has a far greater chance of getting straight into your bloods.
The BO experiment came about mainly due to inconsistency of a decent supply of PM, and taking two/day would significantly reduce my pill intake, so thought it worth a try.
BO seemed to kick in quickly, lots of itchy boobs etc and certainly brought on a lot of lower back pains which I presumed was the onset of the fabled hip-tilt. However, the BO that I was using was Raw Female and each capsule had a high does of zinc in each so I started to consider returning back to PM etc or possibly doing HRT.
I also noticed that I wasn't feeling too well which was confirmed when my blood doc said that my bloods are all over the place again, cant be certain it was the Raw Female/Zinc but it put an immediate stop to my Raw Female experiment.
I had some PM etc left over so dropped back onto that then took the plunge and went on HRT which I have been on ever since.
I budded quickly with PM and grew a reasonable A/B cups, now HRT seems to be filling my breasts out more to a fuller B cup.
My only concern now is that I want to feminise my lower half to match the curves up top so now researching BO and pituitary gland (Swanson as this seems the best by far) to add to my HRT regime. I'm about 83% ish sure that I'll add BO & PG sometime 1st qtr of 2024, but will see as I am concerned about losing more functionality in teh downstairs male dept.
Other considerations, is I really need to lose the 5Kg or so weight that I gained from PM and lose belly fat as this will aid fat re-distribution to a more female shape along with general overall health improvements.
If I was to start again, I'd do the same as PM works and if you get the right regime delivers solid results.
For me I've got my sturdy walking boots on and thoroughly enjoying a steady long walk in the park
Hope that all helps.
