I was thinking of taking PM since some folks have said it lessons the desire to transition (others had just the opposites effect). But my concern is just how effective is the feminization process. Because easing the mind and sparing the body would be ideal now. I love my family, I love my job. And I just don't see a way forward.
Jessica,
I honestly think you could find the answer after a month or so on PM. Should you have the reaction that I had (as well as some others on this board) you would be able to come to peace being male. If not, and the desire intensifies, at least you'll know that transition is probably the best solution and the sooner you make that decision the better.
Should you find that your desires do lessen, I wouldn't be too concerned about the effects on your body. You can still be quite fit and maintain most of your muscle through weight training and proper diet. You may not "be ripped" but that's unrealistic for most men, anyway. As far as boobs, do some research on garments for gynecomastia. You'll find that there is a lot available that will help you conceal breast growth, including athletic clothing suitable for the gym. It's actually a common problem for body builders who like to "cheat" with steroids. And, in the event your breasts do get too big and adversely affect your business, there is the option to surgically remove the excess tissue.
I guess what I'm really trying to do here is give you hope. This PM stuff is really quite amazing, I never would have thought it possible that I could be at peace with myself, especially so quickly. You may need to experiment with the dosages but at least you will be able to find out what's best for you.
Have you shared the possibility of trying PM with your wife? My wife, who was also horrified at my gender dysphoria, is very supportive and is elated at how the PM affects me.
Best wishes and good luck to you!
Misty
