Honestly, this should be the place for post menopausal women's NBE as well. Big difference between the two is whether you have ovaries to deal with.

And unfortunately, if your ovaries don't work, it's basically impossible to get them to work. If you've got any.

I hope one day we can change absolutely everything about it. erasure in the most ethical and beneficial way.

Back on topic, As for you, HN, I'm sure BO helped you, but with everything you take, can we really know how and why? You take Anti-Androgens, specifically Bica, so you can basically take as much T as you want and it will turn into estrogen so long as your aromatization is in working order. So, maybe BO just helps your aromatase work better, or maybe its increasing LH and making more free T that your already working aromatase is converting into E. Maybe It's aiding the function of your dormant ovaries and just making E that way.

BO is a supplement with a multitude (emphasis on 'tit') of conofounding variables, and you, it's biggest beneficiary, have even more confounding variable than a cis woman. Which is impressive considering imo cis women have more confounding variables than trans women. Except you. 2-fat-transfer-surgeries, potentially-intersex, breast-growth-and-growth-hormone-positive-genetics, taking-Bica you. A black box within a black box.

If we could split your timeline and test every configuration of your general program and test it against the basics, that would be really cool. Because otherwise, besides the extremely valuable research you do collating other info and continuing the good work of Lotus, your specific transition really doesn't tell us much conclusively as a case study. Not that you should change it, just be grateful.

Aria, I think you make an excellent point about the complexity of NBE and HRT. I have extensive history with PM and about half that time with HRT. What worked for me may not be ideal for someone else, especially when I was cycling on the higher doses of PM. I think the most I can realistically do is share my experiences with PM and HRT.
