Hello Ribbon,
Welcome to the forum!
Are there no informed consent clinics in your area? That would probably be the fastest/easiest way to get HRT. Speaking as someone who has been on NBE herbs for years, about 1.5 years on pill forms of HRT, and 6 months now on injections, I would say injections win hands down with the most potent form of feminization. It's not until I got my hormone levels to cis female levels that things finally started changing for the better! I started NBE right about when I was your age. In hindsight, I wish I would've started HRT in my 20s versus waiting until I was 35.
Cost-wise HRT might be comparable to NBE herbs, especially if you DIY and otherwise would be buying a large number of herbs.
If you want to pursue the herbal route, my experience has been:
*2,000-3,000 mg of PM at a minimum per day. I always used Ainterol. I know some people are particularly sensitive to PM, but otherwise I think most bio-males need a hefty dose of pm to really trigger breast development
*400-800 mg of spearmint. I've found spearmint to be especially effective at nuking my masculine libido. This may or may not be of interest to you.
*I apply progesterone cream every few days. Can't say how effective it is. I now have a pill prescription of 100mg per day of progesterone, so once the cream runs out, I'll just be using the pills from now on.
Overall, I would say PM is mainly a breast herb, though it can also trigger feminine fat redistribution elsewhere and lower your masculine libido. But since you're looking to transition, HRT is your best bet IMHO.
