Hello phaedra.

Welcome to the bio-male section of the forum!

Have you tried progesterone cream? That may help with balancing your estrogen/progesterone levels.

I think PCOS has been discussed before in the bio-male subforums, but I'm at a loss of remembering the name of the thread or the members involved.

I might be a dunce, but I think I am replying to you, so hopefully so. First, thank you for replying to me. I can't get anyone to help me figure this out! I am so depressed over my breasts and I am grieving so hard it is ruining my life. I need to know what to do. I just don't understand how men can grow breasts, but I can't. Although, I haven't ever been successful at getting my DHEA down that I know of (I was put on Yaz for a while, but quit due to side effects. I wasn't retested during this period), so maybe I don't really know if I can. Isn't it the same concept? Males lower their androgens to raise female hormones? Doesn't it make sense that my breasts think I am male and are suppressed by the DHEA, so they don't respond to estrogen/progesterone? In this case, if the DHEA was lowered do you think that I could still grow breasts that bottom out at age 22? Because although I've already been through puberty, I haven't had the chance to allow my female hormones to act on my breasts, right? Ugh, I'm so confused. I hope you see this comment and thanks for replying.

To answer your question about why males can grow breasts but you can't, I think it's because PCOS is more of an obstacle to overcome than a mere lack of feminine hormones. You already have the necessary hormones, but for some reason your breasts aren't being responsive to them.

Yes, I think it's possible to develop breasts at age 22 or later. I started NBE at age 25 and I got some decent results. Other bio-males have started at a later age and have also achieved some growth.
