Have been all over this site the last 2 weeks, don't remember how I found it, exactly. A lot of interesting info! Please don't crucify me, as I have been an Estro girl so far, but am going to add PM, as soon as it arrives. Estro has been grand, flat to B+ in a year, but it appears to have ignored other areas that I hoped would receive attention. Never any hesitation to try something new, just a bit curious as to how much PM to start with, as I will continue the Estro, and Siterone anti-andro. Currently using Premarin, 5 mg/day, split dose, ( I know, I know, but if I don't buy it someone else will, and tried a lot of others first), and Siterone, (generic cyproterone acetate), 50 mg/day, split dose. Hope to reduce the Premarin when I start adding PM. Make sense to anyone? Looking forward to being here, and will probably be popping a lot of questions. Any of me, feel free to ask. I'm not shy, nor thin-skinned. Best to all!! Patti:

Patti,
If that is a picture of you, then you are doing better than you realise; that is a classic fem stomach shape.

Sooo nice to be welcome! Thank you all so very much. Yes, the pic is me, tho about a year old. Have to admit upfront, there was a bit of artificial (silicone) enhancement adding a size then. Lost about 15 pounds since, and none came off the top, so no more of the bra boosters. Summer time is quite interesting, as many have said, you can't hide 'em, and that is sooo very true! Don't even try, and have yet to hear any comments. Kind of odd, since we live in the "Bible Belt" of the US. It's a pervasive attitude, and a large reason I won't even consider seeing a doctor. Carefully self-medding. Nice that it has never shown up on any blood tests whatsoever. Therefore, see no need to mention to my doc when I start taking PM. (I think my wife is going to take light doses as well).
If I may, I have a question. (If I need to start another thread to do that, someone please tell me). Has anyone ever had any experience with another medication (in my case, a pain-killer) having an interaction with NBE? I recently had to take Hydrocodone, 1/day, for a hip strain. Lasted for 3 months, and about 2 months in, the "girls" really blossomed! added nearly an inch total. Not that I would suggest it to anyone for addition to any program, but I wonder if there was any contribution from the pain meds?? Personally, I doubt it. Done now, guess we'll see.
Also, many of you have mentioned "growing pains". I know I've been on a different regimen, but, yes, the tenderness is universal. And, mostly, enjoyable! There have been memorable moments, like Chrissies', when I turned and drug one of them across the back side of the car door, and nearly passed out! Wife thought that was hilarious! Makes one more careful, even reaching across yourself in the shower can do the same thing. By the same token, the first time you reach around for something, and find your boobs hampering you, that's a pleasant feeling. Similar to the first time wearing long dangly earrings. But,I digress. About the pains, recently have 3-4 times had a very sharp burning behind my nips. starts in one and immediately the other fires up in symphony. Have found the only relief to put a heating pad on my chest. When it happens, all other activity must cease!! There is absolutely no ignoring it. Could it just be that they get a little cool, and the Blood circulation is still being built??
Again, thanks so very much for the warm welcome! When the PM arrives, will be right at it, and for those interested in how a mixed program "performs", will keep you posted. Patti

Uh-huh... I had one of those moments last week. The manager of one of our stores had complained about his new counter getting scratched by a customer wearing a metal badge or big zip, leaning on it. I was trying to explain to a colleague and, without thinking, I demonstrated by leaning over the back of a chair and moving my whole chest down over it. How I kept from screaming and/or passing out, I'll never know!!
Funnily enough, I never get any sympathy from my wife over things like that either! You'd think they would understand!
