Hey all! Just a short message to say I'm totally still alive and kicking~ Not been the best year in terms of feeling on and off sick and anxiety issues, but I'm making strides to overcome it all. It's been over a year since I moved out of my last place to here and I still haven't been able to do all the things I wanted yet but I'm gonna keep trying my best. I'm still overall living my best life and have some fun anecdotes and stories of being a woman now. As usual never a misgender, never a question from people in public spaces or over the phone, and as such life in that regard has been as great as ever even if I sometimes still get a mild case of dysphoria and question my appearance >.<
Thanks again to everyone who has supported me here and I'll try to post once in a while still! Wishing everyone here a great day and the best going forward! ^_^
Well I'm back, and possibly looking for new ways to grow my bust. I've been coasting for about 2 years now, and due to having to move in to another place at the start of those 2 years, sadly never got fully back on track in a lot of ways. My room is a window two door little nook that I had to hang up big curtains over for privacy, and the doors don't have a lock or even a handle.
This year has also prob been the worst I've had since starting HRT due to anxiety and health issues. The health issues were just getting or feeling sick a lot, which led to my deep rooted health anxiety problems I've always had, which resurfaced me having panic attacks again. I still am having panic attacks to this day, but I'm doing my best to deal and get over them. I won't let it trap me like I did before transitioning. I won't be a hermit again, esp since this time I care about myself and my social life.
With that all said, I'm motivated to find a spot to exercise more fully again instead of just doing cardio like I've been doing, and I'd like to kick my transition goals up a notch. For the last about 3 years or so I've lived fully as a woman. I've gotten laser removal on my face (I still get touch ups cus I have an unlimited package), I've lots tons of weight since I started HRT 4 years ago, and my voice is as far as I'm aware perfectly female. It's time now to move on and decide what I need/want to do to move even further forward. I'm not sure if I need FFS, but when dysphoria strikes my face is still something I can loathe the most, and most especially my forehead/hairline since it was hit most during my 20s and only recovered partially on estrogen.
I suppose I'll layout what I currently still do in order to help myself, but also for others reading to maybe add input on what could elevate my bust, face, hair, or so on, even as far as recommending surgeries if people believe something is beyond help otherwise.
Current Regimen
-EEN (estrogen) injections: 5.6mg a week
-EGCG (green tea extract): 400mg (200mg of it being EGCg) a day
-PG alternating orally and rectally: 100mg, but only for bursts of a couple weeks to a month at a time since it raises my libido and makes me worry if it raises my T/DHT
I'm currently considering adding back reishi powder, possibly that lip plumping stuff I read about in the transgender section, starting up noogling/massage again, and adding PG topical for just breast development. I'm dealing with my hairline issues by buying some hats, beanies, and so on, while also still using minoxidil and micro-needling. I'm also about to go all in on starting up butt and hip exercises. My hips are pretty nice, but my butt is very lacking. My family in general, male and female, have thin hair and meh butts unless they're on the overweight or larger side. The males are almost all bald, and the females just have very fine hair that ranges from acceptably fine to pretty drastically fine in thickness so its likely genetic and not much I can do beyond extensions, wigs, and hats.
It's been a couple years since I've dove into any new bust growth breakthroughs or anything else here, so I'd appreciate any info on what could work that I'm not aware of or what has been discredited and has fallen out of favor. As much as I've never been misgendered or treated poorly, I still find myself being paranoid that someone people know I'm transgender and it affects me a lot. So anything that can mitigate that would be great. I'll be doing my best to mold my body into perfection so I don't need to worry about it anymore~

I just see a girl with a high forehead. Nothing I haven't seen in cisgirls. I think we think things are glaringly obvious more than they really are from the point of an outside observer.
By the way love those eyeglasses- I think you made a really good choice with those frames, they look good on you.
Hi Jamie-may, welcome back and so glad you have moved on and now getting sorted.
Love the look, your transition has brought out that lovely young lady in you.
Butt, leg, thigh exercises will really help so get on it and work that butt LOL
Have a good read up on topical regimes, I'm doing it and really like it, see Lara and Lotus's post, there's definite results to be had.
Good luck and keep on pushing.

Mhmm, there is certainly something to that Jessi. So hard to ignore our own body issues for both cis and trans people, when in reality they're likely blown out of proportion to how bad they really are. I do think the added layer of dysphoria makes it even more weighty on those who are transgender since, at least I personally, scrutinize my flaws so harshly as both a way of trying to see beyond my former male self, and as a way to keep myself stealth to avoid harm or hurtful comments while also being fully seen as female.
Also, thanks a lot! I know my mom and I looked through a bunch before I decided on that pair. They were cute and seemed flattering for my face shape and I know I adore them~ It was nice spending time with her that day too since we went clothes shopping after!
Funny enough, when I went to pick up the glasses, the car broke down and having no one else to call I ended up having to have my dad come get me since my mom couldn't. Thing is, I was fully presenting female (as I always do except around my dad at the time), so I had makeup and such on. Being with friends, I refused to even attempt my weak guy voice. He came up to me, hugged me, told me the glasses looked good, and didn't comment on my voice or anything. It was then I realized I never had to use my male voice again and ever since hes been accepting of my new female one <3
Also hi Wee2er~ Thanks a bunch! I know I'm super proud of my body and how far I've come. It's been such a huge effort that I was completely willing to throw everything at to accomplish. Looking back, it does impress me on how much the body can change with hard work and estrogen, hehe. Now, as you say, I must work that butt!
Yea, the topical protocol is really worth looking into! With or without the additional side show I've put into it, the main pieces are proven to work. I've grown about three and half cup sizes since starting it and lately it has only gone much better after some tweaking of dosages etc.
