Welcome to the board.
I haven't taken SP alongside PM so I'm not exactly sure on the dosage, but there are numerous members on this board who should be able to give you some advice in this regard.
Some things I would like to comment on are crossdressing and sex drive. Since being on PM for about 3 months my desire to crossdress has waned, and my sex drive has practically disappeared. In addition, prolonged use of PM may significantly impair your ability to reproduce. I've been taking a fairly high dose of 3,00mg of PM for the last 7 weeks, so maybe you won't experience similar changes or at least not as fast as I have. However, if you haven't considered these particular changes and talked about it with your wife, I would recommend doing so.
Yeah those were two of the major issues we discussed and we both are ok with the loss of sex drive. And as far as children go we have planned to adopt children if we ever decided to raise them so we are ok there as well. That's interesting to hear about the desire of crossdressing decreasing, I pretty much crossdress abit each day so I kind of wonder how it will effect me.

thats what I take and have not had any negatives from it.
and I like your Avatar Marisa, Kos-Mos is one of my favorite game characters.
Ok thanks that is what I will first aim towards for my SP dosage.
Thank you! She is one of my favorite female characters as well. I like your Lenneth avatar as well. I remember playing Valkyrie Profile all the time on ps1 when I was a kid.

And sure enough, a week later, here she comes! *mumbles* I like Chaos better anyways. Too bad that series got cut short.
Fuck this I'm grabbing Elly before someone else shows up lmao.
There. Now I feel better.
On topic, the dose recommended by Lenneth is about right. Just start out at 2000 and work your way up.
This is just for whole berries though, the average dose for extract is 640mg/day.
Good luck!
But Elly is pretty awesome as well! Yeah it's a shame both of those of series got cut short I really would of loved to see episode 6 of Xenogears but alas.
Ok thanks for the information. Around where I live I've only seen SP extract so that works out.

Marisa, as everyone else said, welcome. And the people that already chimed in have said everything there is to say. You say you've been lurking for a while, so you should already know who knows what they're talking about and who is full of it. There MIGHT be 3 people on this board who I would take advice from before flame and Sarah... maybe.
Your age, btw, is actually a benefit. The younger you are, the better your long term results will be. I wish I'd thought to start at 24.
Well I wrote in the age comment as people sometimes think that people in the twenties like me may be rushing into a decision without thinking about the consequences first.

I probably like Grahf a bit more than Elly, but he isn't as photogenic lol. It's amazing how many parallels there are between Xenogears and the world today. I see flouride in the drinking water as a kind of limiter, for example.
Hm, good parallel, and also the reason I use a filter to filter it out.
also as a small FYI I have been working on (at least a plan for) a Kos-Mos crossplay costume on and off for quite a while.
Oh? What version of Kos-Mos if you don't mind me asking.

We need another subforum in addition to the conspiracy one I've previously suggested.
Yeah I was going to point that out lol...When I picked Kos-Mos as my avatar on here I didn't think that there would be anyone else on here who would know who she was, or even played video games.
Well on another note I just ordered my first batch of PM so I should be starting here shortly.
I'm thinking my beginning regimen is going to look something like this:
Week 1 & Week 2 1000mg PM & 320mg SP extract (per day)
Week 3 1500mg PM & 480mg SP extract (per day)
Week 4 2000mg PM & 640mg SP extract (per day)
And from there I'll raise or lower the dosage depending if I feel like I need to. I'm starting off slow since I want to let my body kind of get use the herbs before I start really heavily on it. So if you have any thoughts I'd like to hear them!
