44 year old bisexual male here just starting out on my personal supplement and transformation journey, have been reasearching here about feminizing using the methods on these forums and elsewhere and recently began experimenting for myself. I'm 5-11 170, not as interested in growing breasts as much as plumping up my ass and legs a bit, which I think are already a decent foundation, mine having a somewhat feminine appearance to begin with. Would also love to have softer, puffier arms and a more feminine hip and belly fat distribution but not neccesarily ready for a full male to female transformation. It's required for me to present publicly as a male, this is what I'm good at and comfortable with because of family, living and work situations.
I've been taking PM for 2 weeks and am seeing some big changes for me relatively speaking, having never tried anything like this before. Within days I could feel my nipples getting itchy and sore, can now feel buds under the nipples even poking out a little bit. Skin is remarkably soft and clear, already hoping I don't look too pretty and someone notices the difference! Big thing I noticed is my facial hair growth has slowed to a snail's pace, shaved friday and can barely feel a stubble 3 days later.. Only taking 1000 mg PM daily with multivitimans. I run and walk a mile daily, do quick 15 minutes weight lifting and work on the legs and butt on the weekends.
I ordered white peony and licorice root for their anti androgenic properties, eager to see what effects these have on my manhood. Could use some help in the receding hairline department and if these solved that issue alone would be worth it. I saw a study somewwhere and believe this combo worked better than propecia on mice.
Another thing arriving for me this week is a bottle of Bi-est 5.0 from amazon. Apparently has bioidentical Estradiol and I saw someone on reddit that had quick results applying this on their scrotum twice daily. I saw that people also rub this stuff on their butts, would do it myself it it localized the effect and minimized breast growth, not that I'm against breast growth but would prefer if I could minimize it.
I've also considered cutting to the chase and homebrewing estrogel, looks like you can brew a lifetime supply for cheap and could experiment at your own pace with the real deal. But I have to take it slow and see what I can get away with.
My only complaint so far concerning PM is that I feel a little bit emotional and depressed, I hope this isn't what estrogen does and I hope women and trans women don't feel this way all the time.
