Thank you for chipping in.
I can understand why this this thread is not the most popular. It does require introspection, which is something many of us prefer not to do until "it's too late", and it's aimed at those who are not Trans, which is a fine line that many around here walk without having decided on which side to stay (not that they need to).
Just to update my own thoughts, I have recently been to the seaside with some family. I was extremely self conscious about them saying something. I still go to swim weekly with my young son and nobody here in London has said anything, but my sister has a level of openness that I can't find in strangers or even inmy wife. (Simply put: she doesn't have a filter between brain and mouth). The result of that holiday is that her husband has put on some weight and has developed some belly and some "beer boobies" that fold underneath more than what a lot of us guys on NBE ever achieve. He literally has more boobs than me, and that's just from beer and fatty food. I looked around and I couldn't see any weird stares to him or me so, instead of coming back home feeling shame for what I was doing, I decided to push through a bit more with NBE.
That was in mid-September ane led to a revised program of daily 500mg each day, instead of 1000mg one week every 3. Even with the lower dosage, something has changed. My boobs are changing shape, "inflating" underneath, and the nipples are now positioned closer to the top than the front. A crease is developing under the boob too. The feeling of having boobs is being validated by what I see in the mirror. My nipples are also darkening a bit and, while areolas are still small (which I like) I thinnk that my nipples are slowly moving to a more feminine shape. I always thought that this would scare me, but for some reason it does a lot less than expected.
The next episode in my story will be a visit to my wife's family that live in a sunny country. We'll spend time on the beach and at the sea, so once again I am a bit concerned of what they'll say. The right course of action would probably be to stop PM and let my chest "deflate" a bit (as it sometimes happens after stopping) but I like the firmer and rounder shape more than the flabby fat-moobs shape, so I will probably continue my 500mg/day and hope for firmness and no extra growth until we are back in mid-Jan. Then I'll reassess.
