I decided to try a BO program out, as risky as it may be. It's not actually my first time using BO though(it was part of an herbal formulation, so a lot less than I'm doing now), so I'm not scared. I'm not worried about loss of function either, and have no real desire for children.
I'm skeptical about the claims of permanent hormonal conversion from T to E production, since there isn't any real the evidence to back up that claim. It would be nice if it does though, since it would save me a lot of money. I'm hoping that I at least get some permanent growth though.
i started my BO program about the same time I started lurking these forums and scouring them for information.
In the name of "science" I'll try to stick to my BO program for at least 7 months no matter what happens, short of actual medical concerns.
My goal is to get breast growth(hoping for atleast B cup) and generally feminize my body. I'm not sure I actually want to fully transition, because I think of myself more as being somewhere in the middle of the gender spectrum.
I'll try to add some before after pictures at some point.

Measurements before starting(but after 5 years with herbal supplements, since I can't find my old notes)
Weight: 158lbs, small frame
Waist: 28"(started at 32 before any supplements)
Hips: 38"
Bust: 38" Under: 33"
notes:Started with minor gynecomastia from early teenage years, mostly right side. had some slight budding on right side.
Left Areola varies from 1" to 1.5", right side usually 1.5", some of that size was from herbal supplements.
Herbal supplements increased the bud size on the right side and only made the left areola puffier, but I couldn't feel any real firmness behind it.
Areolas were Bright Pink
--------------------------------------------
Current as of 12/22/2014
Weight: 153lbs(haven't changed anything in my diet or excercise except the protein shake in the morning. I'm not sure where the weight is coming off since I seem to have gained in hips/bust)
Waist: 28"(no change)
Hips: 38.5"
Bust: 39" Under: 33"
Notes:
Areolas are getting a brownish pink shade to them now, but not necessarily darker.
Left side is finally starting to bud, but is still smaller than the right side(hope the left catches up).
My breasts now jiggle a bit(I can feel it/see it) going up/down stairs or over bumps.
In general my nipples/areolas are getting a bit sensitive, so seat belts are starting to feel awkward.
My Skin in is starting to feel really soft and has a slight squish to it.
My Facial hair seems to grow back a bit slower and not quite as coarse.
I'm sleeping better and my appetite is increasing(but I'm losing weight).
At first I was very irritable and snapped at people for stupid things. I think my T spiked and tried to fight back the first few weeks. Good thing it didn't last, I seem to be settling back into the calm feeling again.
My emotions seem to be getting stronger. I was on the verge of crying twice in the last 2 nights while watching different movies(I felt my eyes start to well up and my nose started to feel stuffy). In the past only really strong scenes could do that, but I wouldn't have considered either scene very strong.
