Is it all anecdotal or are they guys who've made their lady pregnant AFTER going through with NBE? Is there any real evidence out there?

Hi twinklepose,
I was on HRT for 18 mos, 12 years ago. I now have a 5 year old son. When I started HRT my endo told me that I would become sterile. I don't know how long you'd have to be on either NBE or HRT to become totally sterile, but it seems for me 18 months wasn't enough

Hi Erin!

That is so reassuring - thank you so much for your message! As I say, I've done this before - Natureday, then Mirifem and then St Herb PM, albeit on lower doses than my 2000mg of today, but I had no problems with shrinkage or erectile disfunction.

Been to ballet class today (I've been going since September). I always feel feminine and graceful there, but even more so today, knowing about my journey.

Thanks again for your reply, honey. x

Hey Twink,

You sound so delighted with the possibility of having offspring. I just wanted to make sure that you understood that I was completely off of feminizing meds/herbs for 6 years before my DW got pregnant. I feel truly blessed, but know that this might not have been the case had I continued on HRT.

If offspring are something that you do desire, it would be prudent to talk to your Dr and a sperm bank. I would hate for my experience to lead someone to an undesired result.

Thanks, Erin, but I only intend to be on NBE for six months or so - nothing too long term, and no massive doses either, so I should be fine. If my other half asked me to go for a sperm check, I would do so, but I have no desire to go down the sperm bank route.

I've still yet to read any cast-iron proof that PM lowers the sperm count. It all seems to be anecdotal - that it might. If anyone has any real proof, please let me know.
