Hi Christina, welcome to BN.
I echo more or less everything others have told you. NBE is a slow process. You'll feel something even after two weeks, but that's mostly because your skin will get smoother and you'll feel the fabric on it a lot more. Fat deposit starts around month 2 or 3, but it won't look like growth to anyone but you at the beginning. Real boobs start after bussing, which is a time when small lumps form between both your nipples and expand under the areolas. That's the first bit of actual breast tissue and, trust me, when that happens you will notice it. We are talking about feeling pain even just from the weight of your clothes, and for at least a couple of weeks. After that, which on PM happens at month 5 or 6 usually, you'll start your journey into real boobage and any gains will be at least partially permanent. If you are very lucky, by the end of year 1 you may have a small A cup with a bit of underboob crease and sensitive nipples (one of the best parts, if you ask me).
Regarding the no-erection thing, you could add Saw Palmetto (also known as SP here on the forum). It's a natural Anti Androgen that lowers testosterone and helps PM a bit. Lowering testosterone has the immediate effect of getting inthe way of erections and sex drive. One word of warning here: lowering sex drive can be "a problem" if you lead a fetish inclined life. I crossdress and do NBE as a fetish, and when the T (testosterone) goes down (as a result of taking PM) I feel something like a start of depression (low energy, low self esteem, lots of WTF moments). If fetish sex drive is what moves you, be very careful when hormones take you on a roller coaster. Try to see yourself from the outside and learn to deal with the downers. Once you get past the point of low T (or high E) things get better. Pausing PM does help recovering fro mthat state (it takes about 2 weeks) but it will come back again when you restart, so you should learn how to deal with it.
Good luck with your journey!
