Which scary side effects are you talking of?

I'm sorry but have lost the link to the medical article about it, but suffice it to say that there are all sorts of potential cancers and sarcoma that can result from the overuse of BO.

PS: I apologise but I think I've made a mistake. What I find alarming was reading about this - https://www.rxlist.com/depo-estradiol-drug.htm

Beverly, conjugated estradiol and pharma progestin are risky to use as you've researched. micronized estradiol tablet (is rapidly metabolizedand) or delestrogen (estradiol valerate injection, USP...which I take for the last 2 years) , transdermal estradiol patch are by far better options than conjugated estradiol and pharma progestin.

 ...if someone goes the route of HRT they should seek medical care from a licensed doctor,  they will help monitor your medications, blood tests, liver function, insulin, diet, etc.

Everything we do to grow breasts comes with risk,  starting with low dose is probably the best strategy and monitoring results should be the gold standard of care while using DIY meds and or NBE  supplements. We go in eyes wide open right?
