I have noticed that whilst there has been some shrinkage downstairs I can still achieve a diamond cutter when needed and it all still works fine if a little more slowly than before!
One thing I have noticed though is that I think it would be a lot harder to stop taking BO now than a couple of months ago although I think its the routine which has become somewhat ingrained in me which I would miss rather than being dependent on the BO or the effects of it. That said despite there not being a point of no return in my view, I do think there might be a point at which even if I stop that the changes will take a very long time to reverse or only partially reverse but I dont think this will have a set time frame.
However I definately dont subscribe to the view that I will suddenly want full SRS or to be a full time woman from taking BO - I think those that have done this have always wanted to do it and have been taking BO as it is potentially more potent if they have been unable to get full hormones.

Interesting post Megan, thank you. I've only ever taken PM although BO has been under consideration for quite a while. As I've said elsewhere, I stopped taking anything last December and since then I've lost a cup size in volume, which is fat going back to 'male chest'. I still have the actual breast tissue but with a concave top and narrower base.
HOWEVER, since stopping the PM, the desire/need to crossdress and feminise myself has come back more and more strongly and is still intensifying. So much so that over the past few days, even though "I" dont want to go that route, and can't afford it, "She" has continually been looking at breast implant clinics and working out costs, and wondering about electrolysis, eyelid improvements etc! Now I'm 95% certain that if I go back on PM, those thoughts will disappear again over a period of a few weeks, at least that is what has happened before although the current feminisation need has never been this strong before either.
I've never heard 'point of no return' applied to PM before, but, does this mean I've gone past the point of no return on PM without realising it? Is that what that phrase means both in terms of PM and BO? ...or, is it just that after 5 years of PM, my brain is suffering exaggerated withdrawal symptoms?
