Thank lovelies. <3
Its time for me to make a big time update about what's up. For some reason measuring tape got stuck in place for a while, which happened to coincide of trying PG daily for a while, so now I'm switching back to what I did before and have apply it three times a week, on wednesdays and weekends(while I drop pm lower.). Interestingly, last two days have given way nicer measurements. I've done very good massage on both days, so maybe its that, maybe its just fluctuation. Interesting regardless...
But here's the kicker, knowing how long trans clinic in Finland takes to process things, I can't wait for another year and half for things to happen. I'm starting to be on the finish line with popping herbs all the time, they're working magic but I feel its not enough. So I have decided to jump to the deep end and ordered two month supply of pharma E online. Its in transit right now and I'm holding my fingers for it not be stuck on the border.
My plan is to ditch pm in favor of pharma E as soon as I deplete my supply. I'm now reading everything I can about hrt and trying to figure out how to tweak my program to work with it. Ditching pm is a no brainer but other stuff I'm not completely certain about yet. I may end up ditching reishi also in favor or some decent AA or DHT blocker, but I need to do research on that. (Any advice is welcome.) I think once I do this, this thread will be laid to rest as it has run its course and I'll start a new one on appropriate subforum as I'm going on DIY hrt program instead. I've been a heretic already for some time as pharma PG cream and E cream aren't exactly herb stuff.
I'm planning to book a doctor, get referral to the trans clinic and ask for my blood to be checked, my pm supply will hopefully last long enough for me to drastically cut down my smoking or quit completely. I did some math, if I manage to quit smoking, I can afford to buy my meds online and be left with more money very likely.
For some reason my SO wasn't keen on my idea of going on DIY hrt before the trans clinic gets its slow gears turning, but she's fine with me taking bunch of herbs. Go figure. I tried explaining her that I'm already using my body as a test lab for bunch of stuff which comes with risks and that hrt will likely be the same or less risky endeavor. She didn't take any of it, almost got mad at me. But she should know me by now, if I have a passion for something, nothing's gonna stop me. So I'll do it under cover for a while. Its easier to be forgiven than to get an approval and its my body and my choice. So anyway, I'll just have my E in an empty pm bottle and go at it.
So yea, I guess my NBE journey is starting to be on its final lap, or the one before the final one and I'll soon be joining the HRT club. I wont disappear from BN and keep on posting of course and keep on number crunching as usual.
