Hi Salania. Here are my comments for whatever they're worth. You didn't specify gender in your profile, but based on things you mentioned I am assuming that you were born a bouncing baby boy as I was. So I am writing this from that perspective.
1. I don't know about cycling. Some say that it helps to take a beak of a week or two every couple of months so that the body "cleanses" itself and starts reacting to the PM more energetically. I have no idea if that's really effective. But I doubt it's important to mimic a woman's natural monthly cycle.
2. I don't know if you need more due to your metabolism. Women start with a higher natural baseline of estrogen than guys do so I think men need more additional estrogen to compensate. Which is why I am trying to ramp up to 2,000 mg daily. Some men here are taking 3,000 mg daily and I think I saw one guy comment somewhere about taking 5,000. At that rate a bottle of Ainterol would only last 10 days. Phew
3. Definitely ramp up slowly. You're introducing a "foreign" hormone and it's best to let the body acclimate (people, please don't give me grief that men have some natural estrogen too). I started with 500mg daily for a week, then got impatient and decided that 6 days was long enough. My second "week" was 1,000 (500 in morning and 500 evening). I'm on my third "week" now taking 1,500mg daily (1,000 morning and 500 evening). Looking forward to starting 2,000 mg daily (1,000 morning and 1,000 evening) on the 28th. I think I'll stop at that level.
Many sources say that it helps the PM to be taken with dietary calcium. Milk, yogurt, even a calcium pill works. If you go with the calcium pills, don't take too much as that can be unhealthy.
4. I am sure there are things to exclude from diet and look forward to someone's answer here. There are probably beneficial foods as well.
5. Maybe you and I can get together and try to average my slow metabolism with your high one. I'd also be willing to share some of my excess fat which you can use to build your breasts. I have plenty to spare. If only it were easy to simply relocate it.
I have little faith in tape measures. I definitely feel fuller, but that doesn't take much starting from practically nothing. But the tape measure remains the same or sometimes reads lower. I think it varies too much depending on where it ends up going around your back. Move it up or down a little and the reading changes.
One last thought. I know this might be embarrassing, but have you considered talking to a doc about what you're doing? Maybe an holistic doc? You have some medical issues that might be adversely impacted. While having a nice, shapely pair of feminine breasts might be "something to die for", I think it inadvisable to take that literally.
