That's why I love using suction devices. Negative air pressure has no known long term medical side effects!

I would agree, Karen. But...the drawback to that approach is it does nothing to alter the hormonal balance of the body. You're still a male in every respect except you have breasts. I guess that meets the objectives for some, but not for me. I didn't start taking PM to grow breasts, but rather to find relief from my mental discomfort, compulsive masturbation, and crossdreaming. I had a gender identity conflict that was too much to bear.

It wouldn't bother me if I couldn't grow breasts with PM. It's the many other aspects of shifting my hormones to female levels that I'm after. Breast growth is simply frosting on the cake. I was prepared to use breast forms if, as I expected, NBE was not successful. Of course, I'm delighted that I AM growing breasts.

The question remains, however, what are the long term consequences of taking these herbs? Do we know of anyone who has been on a PM + AA program for a long time? Mistress Lotus is quick to remind us that we are all guinea pigs in an informal research project called Breast Nexus - Biomales. Do any of you girls have fears that you are doing harm to yourself? If so, why do you take the chance of complications in the future?
