I have been of a feminine mindset most of my life. I feel I fall into the category of androgynous mainly but these labels are of course hard to really define. I have written (and will continue to update) my thoughts over the last roughly 3 months concerning the experience I'm having with PM. It's been very, very interesting and in most ways parallels things I read here. For reference I now am taking 2 x 500 PM, 1 x 940 SP and 1 x 500 Calcium in the morning and again in the evening. I take 1 x 500 PM at lunch (mid-day). All taken with milk. My thoughts so far follow.
Nov 24, 2012:I have tried herbals in the past and gotten some small results but it was at an inconvenient time and did not continue. I decided to try Pueraria Mirifica to see if I could get any feminizing results. I'm older at 64 and do already have some "man boobs" on a average frame (5'9 - 178). I'm not real intense on this and have been taking a modest 1 500mg twice a day with milk and massaging with the PM cream as well AM and PM. I note the following results after 2 weeks: definite softening of skin thats very pleasing; puffiness of my nipples with itching and sometimes hurting; slightly firmer but not really larger breast; definite emotionality with 2-3 crying episodes over really nothing. It's hard to explain but with the nipple puffiness and firming I "notice" my breasts more as I go about the day. I've been wearing a sports bra but will be buying a few nice A cup bras just to see how they fit (been wanting to do that w/my man boobs for some time anyway). My boobs do show through my tee shirts and golf shirts. I hadn't really realized it but someone took pics this summer playing golf and looking at myself in the pics I said yikes!! Boobs! Anyway, its only been 2 weeks with PM but I'll update regularly. My goal is just a nice firming of my breasts and perhaps a good full A cup; puffier more sensitive nipples and a general internal feeling of femininity. The softer skin is soo nice too!
Dec. 4, 2012:I've been on herbals this time around for only a little less than a month. Being older (64) I have a feeling that my T is lower than ever so that herbal phytoestrogen is having more of an impact. Also I've felt all my life that I am mostly feminine and herbals seem to awaken that (same thing happened when I used them previously). Outward genetic signs in me include no body hair except in the feminine places, a very small penis (known as petite medically) and feminine demeanor that some people have "accused" me of over my life. So I believe I am very suseptible or reactive to female hormones of whatever type. I can't really say I have breast "growth" but they def. are firmer. Nipples hurt and are puffy. I am using puraria creme as well as the capsules. Just in daily out and about I "notice" my breasts much more. My skin has become so pleasingly soft. I def. don't get hard as often and even when I play with myself the feeling is different. Hard to describe but it's a less "urgent" feeling yet I also get this deep warm feeling that's incredibly pleasant. Overall my feelings seem to have more rounded edges; softer; meaningful or something. I just feel sooo much more feminine in outlook and that's wonderfully nice. I don't have any unrealistic or huge expectations. Yet I know "something" is happening by how I feel. OMG I'm feeling so, so feminine and it gets stronger every day. I have also cried "out of the blue" on a number of ocassions and feel constantly right on the edge of emotions. That's soooo different than the male feelings. Frankly I feel wonderful. I feel like "me". So whatever outside results happen are welcome and loved but I'd not trade these wonderful (getting stronger) interior feminine feelings for anything.

Yes!
My girls feel very firm and I "notice" them very much. They def. have grown a little. My nipples are always puffy now and do hurt most of the time-so I know "something" is happening. When I massage them I can feel a little mounding just below the nipple. I really do need to wear a bra not so much for support, but as a cushion for my sore nipples. PM and SP have a very interesting effect in that I'm sure it's supressing T levels as I feel much less need to masturbate or watch porn. I feel less edgy. It's a very even, nice feeling of feminity and that alone is quite pleasing to me. I will hit the 3 month mark on 2/13 and have no plans to discontinue. I'm not intense about quick noticable boobie growth. I just take my PM & SP daily and don't dwell on it much and things accumulate slowly. I do love the accompanying feeling of well being that a lot of girls on the Breast Nexus forum report. The combination of all this plus my (always now) use of the nipple tatoos is incredibly nice as well. I am seeing a female chest in my mirror every day when I step out of the shower and go about my day with a much more feminine outlook!
Above I mentioned the use of "nipple tattoos". I have always had disappointingly small aureolas. As my breasts have gotten incrementally firmer using PM etc. I found a site that sells temporary "tattoos" that are a big help to mastectomy patients. I tried them and am very, very pleased with the results. If anyone is interested here's the link:http://www.rubonnipples.com/nipples/ I will try to post pictures of my progress in the near future.
Welcome Susan Anne. Congratulations on what sounds like a great start on your way to the new and improved Susan Anne! If you stay with the PM, I bet within a year you won't be needing or wanting the nipple tattoos. It appears you respond well to the herbs.
Thanks. Actually, I'm a little surprised at how well and quickly I'm responding to the regimen. I think that for all we write here, PM is a very powerful, mysterious and largely unknown, unstudied agent. Years ago I tried Evanesce for a time with only slight results after 3 months. What a huge difference.
