So I stop taking the herbs and after a few weeks the impulse has returned. Then a few weeks later it is no longer erotically interesting and I stop.

I WONDER IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD THIS EXPERIENCE.

Hi,
Yes, pretty much everyone else on here ( apart from the completely TS members) has exactly the same experience and it's been discussed at length several times, if you do a search.
The reason for it is thought to be tied up with the basic reason for your trans-gender impulses in the first place.

There is a paper written by a TG-Specialist doctor in the US, postulating that if a mother's male/female hormone balance is out of kilter at a critical stage of brain development, when a male baby is in the womb, then the baby's brain gets programmed to expect a higher level of female hormones than it's male body can supply in later life.

Moving on from that, we think this leads us to try to 'feminise' ourselves in various ways, often by cross-dressing and/or wanting breasts of our own. However those of us who find NBE and start taking phyto-hormones are unwittingly suddenly giving the brain what it has been sub-conciously seeking and so the need to cross-dress or even actually grow the boobs, suddenly disappears . Of course subsequently stopping the herbs, which is a natural result of no longer 'needing' to grow the boobs, then unbalances the brain again and the need returns.

For me, I found that after a couple of turns on that see-saw, it settled down with my need for feminine things much diminished and the boob growth still there, but we are all different so you may find it works differently for you, although I don't think I'm atypical.
