Do a bit of research on PM. I've been on it for 7 months, never taken anything else and I now have to use a compression vest under T-shirts to avoid comment.

It's the strongest estrogen mimic available. You definitely don't want to start on progesterone yet, and when you do, you don't want to use synthetics.

Good luck.

Did you already have some breast tissue/fat on your chest before starting PM? I thought it typically took over a year or two before getting really noticeable results.

Not really... the breast tissue alone stands out about 1.5" from the rib bones now. I'm nearly 60, so maybe low T "helps".

When I started last September, I wanted breast growth, got impatient and went up to a high dose (3g/day) - foolish, because I experienced kidney pains, but I also discovered that it cured the symptoms of anxiety and depression that I'd had for many years. So I found a way to adapt to that dose, (500g per 3 hours), because I'm kind of hooked now - I can't go back to the old me.

One important thing appears to be regular cold turkey if you want growth. On the occasions when I stop for a few days, it definitely spurts the growth.

Some people try to simulate female hormone levels to a monthly cycle for this reason. I'm not that bothered, because growth is a problem for me.... at some stage I'll have to "come out" as a gender dysphoric with the kids and their mother is not looking forward to it!
