When I cannot get my electric pumping machine plugged in, this is another type of pump I am use, it is a hand pump, works as you can see.

I get rings on my chest but they do go overnight, thing is they dont stay like this, sad but I suppose they will one day

Just a suggestion, those domes are much too small.  You need to buy some that are a lot larger to pull in all of the breast.

Best regards,
ChuckM

Hi

Thanks ChuckM, interesting comment and appreciated.

But don't ask me where on this forum, but from memory one or maybe a couple of members said, start small (depending on size) then increase into larger ones as you get bigger.

The cup I am using at the moment is 70ml are you suggesting this is not big enough, but may I add a couple of points which may make you laugh.

1. Maybe the photo angles are not right to get a correct effect 2. My boobies are only little at the moment and need to grow a bit more, look at some of the photos on my thread, like I said only little ones.

Hi BN,

I ask this question because I think I am now getting side effects of HRT, let me explain my dose rate of Oestrogel pump.

8 June to 30 August 1 pump of OE
31 August to 4 November 2 pump of OE

5 Novemeber 4 pumps of OE.

I have gas, both directions, weak, stomach cramps, aches and pains, feeling wasted and feeling moody and edgy.

Is this normal and will these symtoms go away.

Until today my Doctor said put the gel on in the mornings, but in my opinion it is too much in one go, so I have decided to put 2 on in the morning and 2 at night, as there is no hard fast rule it could be better for me.

Again is this normal or is my system not tolerating this type of HRT should I stick with HRT or go onto BO.

Please help
Ian

In my last post I asked about dose of hrt, last night at silly time in the middle of the night, I ended up googling my problems, the internet is very contradictory, which is not good when you are trying to get accurate information.

Anyway, I was thinking that if Oestrogel is not suiting me I might change (again), so I trawled through the internet and found a site called Transfemme based in the USA, they will ship to me here in the UK.

At this moment I am keeping my options open, but I need to know if I change direction do any of our friends on here who live in the USA, know anything about this company, are they genuine and trustworthy, do their products work.

Thanks
Ian

Hi Ian,
I was on tranfemm for 18 months. They a legitimate, I feel their products work well, if you are using their BO products it comes pre-formulated wit BO,Kelp and Petuitary Glandular. They will guide you through a progressive program, adjusting your daily dosage as time goes by, based on your goals, they will also give you recommendations on vitamin and minerals, which are also recommended on here, as well as recommend a diet targeting on protein intake. It's a good product and program for someone new without guidance.

If you are looking at their topical creams, they are also quality, I love them, they smell good and it was as if I could feel them working when I massaged them in.

I will caution their products are more expensive than Swanson but it comes with guidance and I found Jules very helpful. If funds are not an issue I would recommend it.

I switched to Swanson after 18 months just for a maintenance program and after further consideration I switched to estradiol for a more defined feminine body.

Hi Tomi66,

Thats great news and thank you for coming back to me on this matter, I received a reply back from my doctor, I sent him an email telling me about my symptoms he said it not the HRT as such, it is just my body getting used to the big dose increase of HRT.

As I said I am keeping my options open but, based upon your report that is a good possible path should I drop HRT.

Again thank you
Ian

Hopefully HRT works out.

My thoughts on BO now, it's great for a long term goal of feminization or to test the waters. If it feels right great! If not then it's an easy stop.

Reflecting back, it was just a stepping stone for me to HRT. Although I am not transitioning, I do want the feminization that comes with it, now if they could figure out how to get rid of the ED as a side effect. Although ED was worse on BO than estradiol, I still have it.

Hi all,

Firstly I would like to thank all those that kindly replied to my questions and all private emails, again thank you.

Ok better explain why I asked these questions, well simple really, but complicated as I will explain.

I have a blood hormone imbalance, which for the last three years I have struggled with, add that to my gender dysphoria I ended up taking all sorts of stuff, eventually ending up with Eden new life and taking HRT since June.

Past few weeks I have hade health issues which I thought was down to age, I had shocking stomach issues, weak grotty and a low body temperature 35.8c or 96.44f. Sent an email to Eden who said my problems have nothing to do with HRT.

Ended up at my doctors yesterday, will not bore you with all the story only to say they were shocked that I had not told them, diagnosis was HRT related and that all the symptoms were a direct result of exposure to HRT and that could kill me.

Hrt is designed to lower the body temperature in CIS women with menopause, also most definately can cause side effects, that said I am on eof the few that it does cause problems mainly because I am type 2 diabetic (controlled)

So being weened of under doctors guidance will take about a month, moving on I will use BO hence some of my previous questions.

I will open a thread later under BO, but I need to obtain BO and look at som eof the post's.

Love to all
Ian


Extra - My Gp rang me and said that she has looked at Eden and most certainly suggests I walk away, would not expand on that, so as of today I have cancelled my membership.

I know I have been singing their praises but I thought as they were two doctors everything would be ok _oops they are not

[wee2er]

Hi Ian,
Glad I dismissed Eden, although I'm not so sue what our doc was war off, as they seem to prescribe all the usual types of E, maybe it was something else, or she just thought they were unethical?

Anyway, the best outcome is that you are under the care of your GP

Hope everything sorts itself out and then look at BO, or you could consider a topical regime maybe, but first get better.

Good luck with it all xx

Just a few observations and a couple questions before I switch th Bovine O.

I contacted Eden New life for a copy of my Gender Dysphoria cert, I was told that it will take a few weeks to compile and will cost me £350.
I asked why when I did a 60 minute session with ane of your staff via video, I was that was just an intake session and not a full Gender Assessment.

WOW that shook me, bunch of scammers so theoretically in the eyes of the law I am not registered, lost for words.

Next advcie please.

Is it safe to go cold turkey with HRT, I have been taking just over 5 months.

8 June to 30 August 1 dose - 31 August 4 november 2 Doses
5 November till 19 November 4 Doses
This morning I dropped it to 3 doses

My Bovine arrives next week can I start it right away or wait.

Thanks
Ian
