First of all, that's good development for 9 months on herbs.
The main question I have for you is: have you budded yet? Budding is that stage when you have two pea-sized nodules, one under each areola, that hurt like hell and that slowly are absorbed into the flesh on your chest. That's when you know that you have "actual boobs", as in mammary tissue. Estrogens will cause your bust to enlarge even without breast tissue at the beginning, but you'll get actual permanent growth only after budding. It usually happens within one year from starting herbals (typically 6 months) but it can be a lot later.
After budding, your breasts will gain a much more feminine shape. This is because growth will happen a lot more around the area under the areolas, pushing the boobs out in a tear drop shape instead of equally filling up the area.
From my point of view, your chest looks like a relaxed body builder's chest, very muscular. One of the things that make a chest look feminine is roundness as opposed to the square-ish pecs of a man. Roundness happens after budding, and it's more enhanced if you lose muscle mass instead of building more. So, I would suggest you don't do exercise that would grow your pecs further, or they are never going to look like feminine boobs. Losing muscle mass does happen while on estrogens and it happens even more if yuo add some anti-androgens (like Saw Palmetto or White Peony). Obviously, anything that makes you lose muscle definition will also have detrimental effects on your libido and sex drive...
I would suggest you wait until budding ha happened, and then see how breast growth proceeds from there. When I budded, I tried some progesterone cream (in my case from Biovea) for about a month and it seemed to help with roundness.

Hi, thanks for your reply, this really helps.
As a matter of fact, I think I have budded, although I didn’t new the term then. Exactly like you said, two small hard things below the areola. Then it felt like the buts were growing into discs. I became a little afraid with the speed of things and stopped altogether, fearing malignity. When I restarted the groeing disc became very hard, especially on the outer sides of the breasts. But now, on holliday without PM, this has subdued.
Your remark on exercising is very clear, thanks. I will stop exercising that part specifically.
I will try to get progesteron cream. I used PM soap in the same way, but I’m not sure this helped.

I've added prog cream to my regime and I'd say my breast do feel fuller.

I have been on PM + Reishi + MSM + Vitamin C + Calcium/Magnesium/Zinc now a bit over two months. Now I received my Progesterone cream (Biovea). I wonder how oth3rs are using it, continuously or cycling and in case cycling, in what kind of pattern?
