Hi again.
Wondering if anyone might have any knowledge, experience about this?
I have pretty low testosterone and was taking T. I quit taking it so it wouldn't hamper the PM effects.
Since I quit taking the T my energy seems pretty low and workouts seem harder than they should. I assume it's due to low T.
My question is once I get where I want on NBE, if I were to start taking T again but also keep taking maintenance PM, would I lose my breasts or would the maintenance PM keep me where I want to be even with the additional T?

I don't recall reading any posts describing anyone trying this, so you would be our guinea pig I think. Don't forget to let us all know what happens if you do give it a whirl.
Hello Julie,
It's possible other members may have tried to walk the metaphorical hormonal tightrope, but I don't know how it worked out for them. You shouldn't lose genuine breast tissue from taking testosterone, but your breasts could still shrink as your body burns and gains fat in a more masculine fat distribution pattern.
Out of curiosity, is this a permanent change you wish to make? Or do you want to restart NBE again at some later date?
I don't think I explained it quite right -
I don't plan to take T any time soon, want to get my breasts.
But considering my low energy, etc. wondered about eventually adding it back, AFTER I get the breasts I want, just to get more energy.
And even then would keep a maintenance PM dosage.
Just thinking way ahead, wondering if I was doomed to low energy forever if I want breasts or if eventually I could add T back for energy levels without losing the breasts.

For me, I think a bigger question would be whether I would lose the mental benefits of PM if I were to boost my T levels (and that is something you should be able to test out quite quickly without doing more than slightly delaying breast growth), while assessing any effect on growth already achieved might take a lot longer. At least any glandular development is supposed to be permanent.
Only person I knew that ever took androgens and estrogen was Janie Marie Kroc. Now she actually was on hrt with legitimate estrogen, and taking lowest dose possible for androgens (to help prevent muscle and strength loss) but in her case she said in a you tube video that the estrogen didn't start working until she cut out all testosterone products.

Hey Julie,
I'm on T-replacement for low T levels, and understand where you're coming from regarding low energy and how workouts seem harder when you're not taking T. I'm continuing my T replacement because of how much better it makes me feel, but I'm also taking supplements for NBE, and have had some good success.
Replacement T appears to act a bit differently in the body than natural T, and can in some instances trigger gynecomastia (male breast growth). So instead of stopping your T replacement therapy, you might consider continuing with it, then just adding the WP and a good anti-androgen like Red Reshi and see what happens. Give it a couple of months and see if you start to get some positive results.
Also, if you decide to continue without your T replacement for now, then start taking it again after you've reached you NBE goals, I doubt you'd lose your breast gains as long as you continue with the PM or other similar supplements.
Feel free to PM me if you'd like to chat more.
Best regards,
ChuckM

Yep, sure is,
thanks for pointing that out. I'm usually pretty good at avoiding zombie threads.
Best regards,
