[CM213]

Well thanks stevenator, I hope it is as successful as it can be. I'm hopeful but don't have un realistic expectations either. I'm not there yet though. Hopefully by Oct I will have seen an endocrinologist and have a plan to move forward...

Yes I've been reading lotus' project x thread about hrt and nbe. 

And I know Lara has said she continues to use b.o with hrt amongst a few other things. 

I guess to be safe it might be good to cease nbe when starting HRT, until they find the right dose, and then once your on cruise control and where they see you every 3-6 months vs every 1-2. Starting nbe back up. 

But like you said stevenator there are things that can help hrt and breast growth and transition in general. 

I can see stopping p.m since that will directly affect the estrogen levels in your blood, but b.o? Not so sure about that one since it works differently than p.m.

And depending on the anti testosterone meds they give you one would no longer need red reshi or any of the other herbal  AA's we typically use with nbe.

Again Im feeling that if one is unsure or worried about throwing off labs then the safest thing is to prob stop any nbe which could potentially alter your estrogen levels. 

But I'd def like to hear more on this subject.
