Hey everyone,
I'm way new here but I've been delving into some of the archived threads to gain insight into all your expertise and insights from your own personal journeys. There's plenty I have yet to read so please feel free to post links to other threads/posts that may already have answers to any questions I may present in this post.
So, my profile has a pretty in-depth bio of me so feel free to read up on that if you're looking for any info on my personal life although I'm always open to other questions if you feel there's more you'd like to know (I'm fairly open about my life when I can remain semi anonymous online) but I'll admit I'm terrible at quick responses so please don't get upset if you don't hear back from me right away. I'm actually traveling through Europe right now and wifi is limited, just another nail in the coffin for me :/ but damn the sights are great and the ladies fashion is absolutely killer, seriously the number of outfits I've seen the ladies wearing that I'd love the chance to rock on the streets is to die for.
Anyways, I'm posting because I've been trying to pat down an NBE regiment for myself to do more "total" feminization of my body, not just breasts but hips, waist, and possibly face as well without using traditional HRT since that's a little too "final" for me as well as expensive as well as difficult to pin down a doctor I could even see in my area, I know they're out there, I'm a 20 min drive from Atlanta, so seriously any advice on clinics/doctors in the area that don't require therapy sessions and can keep the costs down, hit me with any knowledge you have and I'll see if it's a better option over NBE. But I'm leaning toward NBE since it's somewhat reversible to a degree and it's something I can have more control of rather than hoping a professional can understand my point of view after I fail to articulate what it is I'm after. I don't want SRS (at least I don't think so); I had heavily considered/dreamed of the possibility of HRT and SRS but in the end it never quite felt right, I'd miss my dangly bits and so would my SO if she would even stick around if I were to follow that route.
So that brings up another important note: I would like to keep the majority of function downstairs intact. I enjoy sex as a man and my daily life as a man but would want to be able to experience life in the opposite/different gender when I chose to do so. In the end if NBE were even successful, I might even experience life as a ftm crossdresser and have to bind my chest to go into male mode, seems interesting and totally worth it to me; life is all about our experiences IMO.
So enough of my rambling, here's what I have been compiling thus far:
PM capsules: 1650mg/day over 3 doses; 3 weeks on and 1 week off (more/less?; work up to it/start here and ramp up; different cycle for on/off?)
PM Serum (cream/both?): can't find a good brand I trust for these, maybe Swiss Botanicals but they sound iffy; regardless twice a day plus massage if anyone has a good product they can attest to
BO: 750mg/day over 3 doses (same cycle on/off as PM or just low dose on the off cycle and same inquiry as PM; plus should I take these together at all since I have read conflicting info about their interactions) I had actually used these together for a few weeks and got swelling behind the nipple which also expanded about twice its size and got sore but it started showing too much through my work clothes so I quit but now I gots a new job with a much more relaxed wardrobe option so here we go again c;
Women's Multivitamin: 1/day (found a good organic one with some extra biotin and goodies added in)
Protein: organic, not whey or soy; meal replacement morning and post workout (more like meal addition; I only really eat once a day and have coffee maybe in the morning but I have already started to cut out caffeine entirely starting a few weeks ago)
White Peony: 500mg/day (more or less?; read that it's good for aromatase might take post workout rather than in the morning)
Evening Primrose Oil: 1000mg/day (more/less?) again post workout possibly switch every other day with WP but leaning toward taking together every day
Borage Oil: 1000mg/day (more/less?) again post workout possibly every other day unless recommended otherwise
Maca: 500mg/day morning and pre workout (more/less?)
Milk Thistle: 500mg/day maybe every other day in the evening (more/less?)
Chinese Skullcap: 400mg/day in the evening (may not use this and stick with milk thistle or use these on as an on/off switch between the two: one day MT and the next CS rinse, repeat)
Spearmint: 400mg/day (more/less?)
Reishi: 900mg/day every other day (more/less?)
Oat Extract: 970mg/day because I literally hate oats and refuse to eat them (useful or not? Heard it could be good for something from a thread in here somewhere but I forgot what)
Vitamin D: 5000IU/day (every other day, multi vitamin has 1000) think I read it can help aromatase
K2 MK-7: 100mcg/day (every other day; multivitamin again has this) to balance Vit D
Vitamin C: 1000mg/day (every other day; multi vit again)
Horny Goat Weed: 1000mg/day pre or post workout
Workout routine:
Cardio: 30 min every day, approx 5 miles running
Push-ups: 5 sets 15-25 reps
Squats (w/ weights): 5 sets 15-25 reps
High Kicks: 5 sets 15-25 reps
High Knees: 5 sets 15-25 reps
Side Kicks: 5 sets 15-25 reps
Punches (w/ weights): 5 sets 15-25 reps
Crunches/Sit-ups: 5 sets 15-25 reps
Yoga Stretches: need to research good stretches for my core and legs and chest (advice welcome!)
Please let me know what you guys think!
And don't hesitate to tell me that there are huge redundancies in some of these supplements; anything I can comfortably cut out of this without losing the benefits would be greatly appreciated by my wallet.
And as a note, I am trying to focus on aromatase while continuing to produce some T from workouts and supplements in hopes of keeping my junior member alive as well as getting my body to naturally produce E while also maintaining liver health.
