Update.  About 1 week on the following: started with one 10 mg Swanson 8PN, upped to 2 pills, 12 hours apart, and the last 2 days, 3 pills 8 hours apart.  Six to eight Fennel oil drops on chest every day during the last week.  Brain fog has diminished and is not an issue.  Still slight headache, right temple, for a few hours after taking a pill. Gas issue has lessen over time and may have stopped. Still taking probiotic which may be helping.  Feeling hungry and a shot of protein helps.  No physical changes in measurements.  Breasts have a slight aching feeling sometimes.  While lying face down during a massage yesterday, I felt my breasts were under some pressure; this feeling has not happened before.  This morning, more slight ache in breasts.  Nipples seem to be a little more sensitive.  Past blood pressure issues seem to have diminished.  Not sure, but the 8PN may have lowered my BP or make it more controllable with my other BP meds.  On several occasions, my BP dropped too low and I took a few drops of red clover (known to me to increase my BP) to boost it.  My sleep has improved.  I fall asleep faster and wake up in the morning feeling more refreshed than before the 8PN pills.  I sleep fewer hours at night without feeling like I am sleep deprived. For me, this may be a good reason to continue with the hops pills whether or not I have any other benefits. Starting to have major wood events that have not happened for a long time.

Very thorough I must admit.  But early days,  never expect instant results or expect to go through the expected route because we are all different except for in one area. We are fascinated and obsessed with how we may be able to control our body and make it ours. Wood event?  Never happened for me, quite the opposite but that doesnt mean you aren't doing it right, you seem to be in control and am convinced you will achieve your goal responsibly. But never forget, it's not just about breasts, there is so much more going on. I don't know what 8PN is so cannot comment there.
