Hi there - I'm new to this (the forum that is). I'm a cis male in my 40s and after decades of back and forth, I've finally made a full, conscious and informed decision about who and how I want to be. I have a partner of 16 years and she's known about my trans self for two of those years. I'm in therapy (three times a week) and we're in couple therapy too . . . There are ups and there are downs and don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
So, last week my decision was this - and it is a very specific and limited one: to take herbal supplements in order to achieve a more 'feminised' body which I can feel more comfortable in. Breast growth is obviously something I want to see but I would also like to have a wider fat redistribution to my hips and thighs.
What I really want to know is how my chosen combination of herbs will (or will not) interact and combine. I've read Lotus's excellent notes and this is what I've come up with:
PM (300mg in morning, 200 mg in afternoon - five pills in total)
Saw palmetto (600mg once a day - two pills)
Maca root (5000mg once a day - two pills)
Dandelion root (2000mg once a day - two pills)
Fenugreek (500mg once a day - one pill)
What do you think? Any thoughts as to whether the PM, SP and maca will be pulling me in different directions??? I think the dandelion root and fenugreek are probably good to have on board but would be happy to take any advice . . .
My two watchwords are 'integration' and 'authenticity' and I'm trying to stay true to them. Here goes!
