Hi Michelle,
Your experience sounds right by me. Sensitivity to PM varies from person to person. Count yourself lucky that you respond well to it. Keeps the cost down. $

I've reduced my dosage of PM to just 1000 mg per day recently, and still have generally tender, sometimes sore breasts. I have not lost the mental benefits on this smaller dosage either. I should mention, however, that along with lower PM dosage, I started taking anti-androgens (Spearmint and Pygeum) which has a compensating effect. The effect of these herbs continues for 5 or 6 days after stopping for my 7-day monthly break.
Taking more PM than you need to occupy those breast tissue estrogen receptors is a waste of money, so finding the lowest dosage that is giving you the results you want is a wise strategy, IMO. You can slow down the growth process then by lowering the dosage even more. Why slow it down? Well, possibly to better achieve your goals. Is your goal more for the mental benefits? What cup size are you seeking? Are you sure? Might you have a change of heart about growing breasts a year from now? The nice thing about herbal HRT is that it acts slower. That gives you the time to explore just what you need in the way of feminization to relieve your gender identity discomfort.
Many hugs dear,
Clara
