A quick observation after just 3 days since restarting at 1500mg/day. 
We all know that 3 days are not enough for any growth, but we also frequently talk about the "turbo restart" effect of PM. Indeed, after just 3 days, the mirror says that something is changing. The shadow under the chest area is becoming more defined and the shape of the breasts are rounding up. With "rounding up" I mean shifting from a pointy pear shaped moob fat shape to a more solid and "sculpted" round and firm one.

Yesterday I spent some time reading genetic women's reviews of PM. A lot of them report changes after just a few days describing them as "my brests are perky like when I have my period". 

So, I guess that this is what the "turbo restart" is actually about. Not instant growth but a firming effect on the tissue (and fat/skin?) of what is already on the chest. For those, like me, who have a bit of breast tissue under a layer of chubby fat that makes it invisible when not herbs, this firming effect actually makes a huge difference in the way our chest look. 

If on one side this can seem bad news (no instant growth) for occasional crossdressers like me this is great news: I can sport a normal male chest 90% of the time and then "pump it up" one week in advance when I want to dress up.

Next time I'll stop/restart (Jan 2019) I will also check if this makes any difference according to the tape measure.

Seems to me that we're talking about glandular material. I'm no doctor/scientist but I'm guessing that fat, muscle, skin, etc. grow relatively slowly, volume-wise, whereas glands can swell up to double or triple their size within a few hours.

Since female breasts have a significant amount of glandular material, they're more volatile than other parts of the body.

Interesting. I am going to look more into that.
I recently wrote a post about how the shape of my chest changes with the heath. When I am warm it's relaxed and "fat pointy", but when I am cold it's round and hard and perky. After 3 days on PM ot's as if I am stuck in "cold mode".

Micro update.
I stopped PM on Dec 20th (ish) and restarted a couple of days ago. I have been on holiday to my home town and a couple of people have complimented on how "manly" I look thanks to my large pecs (wearing a Christmas jumper). So, somehow the fullnes is visible.
I personally think that I have gained a tiny bit of shape and size, and that the fat and proteins I ate when pigging out during the holidays has helped a bit. As usual my left side is way more developed than my right side, but even if the right one has a different shape it seems tht this time it's trying to push out a bit more.

Some days I think that there is nothing to see there, other days I feel like I am growing again and that I am reaching a point of no return.
After my holidays I have been ill for a week, so I probably lost all the weight I gained and I also dried up a bit in terms of water in my body.

Anyway, these pics are from yesterday. I didn't have much time to take decent ones. I am impressed by the shape of the left side (right, in the photo) of my chest in the one where I am pulling the bralette down.

I am going to push forward a bit more with 1000mg/day and see what happens.

Welcome back. I did the same - took a break and restarted two days ago.

Just curious: do you have buds behind your nipples? Mine are the diameter of lemons now, are firm and tender and stick out ever so slightly at all times. They're visible when I lift my arms above my head. This is definitely not fat, but is glandular material. Just wondering if you sprouted them.

[Shirazmn]

@NipplyRussel I have been at NBE for at least 3 1/2 years now, with intentionally slow results, and I passed the budding phase ages ago. (Pea sized lump, widening, redistribution, etc...). Right now the feeling I have when grabbing or lifting my "breasts" is the same you get from grabbing and lifting a woman's breasts: it's heavier and more stable than just fat and it tends to keep its shape once you let go, as opposed to far retaining the squashed shape or "falling".

I know that it doesn't look like much in the pics. I have a 38/40 inches band, which is quite wide as a result of lots of years swimming. One of these days I will try and take a picture with my arms raised. If I raise the over my head then everything is flat, but if I lift my arm half way up then you can tell where the chest ends and the boob start.

[Nipply Russel]

Understood. They certainly do look like breasts to me!

I just hadn't seen any mention of the buds (I might have missed it). You had mentioned fat accumulation and I'm curious about what the buds were like, as mine are pretty firm and large - I don't know if they soften when they spread out??

[Shirazmn]

Yes, they do soften. They go from being hard and small to spreading through the flash of your chest. Soon your lumps will be gone and the flesh (not skin) of your breasts will feel firmer. Since you are quite skinny, that's when some shape towards the bottom of the breasts is likely to show up.

Ah. That must be why they seem to be widening so quickly. Thanks.

Time for a break.
After I wrote about having finally reached the point where I consider my chest "boobs" (https://www.breastnexum.com/showthread.php?tid=29017 ) I am now going to take a month long break. Sex drive is very down low, and when that happens I also lose the will to grow breasts. I need my male function back, and I don't mind waiting a bit and refuel my "fetish mind". I have an holiday in Feb, so I may restart after that. I am debating with myself if I want to stop cold turkey or lower the PM from 1000 to 500 mg/day.... 

During the last 3 weeks I managed to lose weight while taking PM (miracle!) so the size of the breasts hasn't increased, but the shape has improved. They have firmed up a bit and they seem to be getting somehow rounder when seen from the front. My right side is finally showing some will to catch up with the left. 
During the last week my nipples have changed a bit. My areolas have darkened a tad, and when I am cold the whole nipple raises and points out in one single mound. It looks like the small nipples of some asian ladyboys and I kinda like it. Nipple sensitivity has not spiked but it's there. I'm gonna miss that one in the next month.
Today I checked my back in the mirror and that, for the first time, has noticeabley changed. My butt is a bit wider, my cheeks a bit rounder and higher up. I tried on a pair of my heels this morning and I really live hhow my new shape fill mi tighter dresses. 

Well, that's the report from now. I'll try to take some pics on Monday if it makes any sense doing so.
