Hi there

I have been lurking in these forums for over a year now. I have done a bit of research about NBE options and availability of relevant herbs, which turned out to be a bit difficult and expensive here in switzerland. I've finally settled on a rough program that I want to follow and recieved my first order of pueraria mirifica last friday. Since then I've taken 2000mg of PM a day, one capsule roughly every 4 hours. I also ordered saw palmetto and maca capsules which hopefully should arrive this week. I'm not quite sure if I should start immediatley with the maca and what dosage (of both the SP and maca) I should start with. Opinions would be welcome.

Since I was a kid I have been wondering how it would feel to be a woman, or at least to have breasts. I don't really know why but whenever I see a woman with nice breasts - or a nice bum - I always felt just as much aroused as jealous. Now at the age of almost 31, time feels right to find out. Right now I don't plan on transitioning, or presenting full time as woman. But I'm sure that I want those breasts .

So the last few days have been very exciting for me. Starting on that long standing dream of mine. I regularly catch me looking on the clock to see if it's time for the next capsule. I made a spread sheet where I plan to keep track of my measurements and made some photos. Not that easy to make nice looking photos of yourself. I also think I already feel some slight changes. The tissue all arround my nippels feels a lot softer and more "spongy" as I remeber. Not sure how realistic such a change is after only 4 days (could be expectation bias, who knows), but it sure feels good.

I'm happy to have found such a place, with so much information and personal insight. Very helpfull and inspiring.

Hi GlassFin,

sorry your question got hijacked!

My tips:

1) in about a week you should start to experience a feeling of well-being. Depending on how screwed up you used to feel, it could be euphoric. If you don't experience this, there are two possibilities: (a) you aren't taking enough, or (b) if you experience unease and anxiety, you should stop.

2) to avoid kidney-related back pain, don't take any PM after about 8pm.

3) resist increasing the dose for a couple of weeks. If by then you haven't experienced any itching or prickling, increase it by 500mg for another week or two and so on until you do.

I find the dose that most relaxes my mental condition is about optimum for breast growth - rather ironically.

The jury is out on Saw Palmetto. There is conflicting research on what it really does, so I don't take it.

Maca is a superfood that balances the whole endocrine system. I find it cheaper to buy as powder and sprinkle over my breakfast once or twice a week. (Incidentally, I eat flaxseed/linseed instead of cereal - lower carbs - and it turns out that flax is full of lignans, another source of phytoestrogen)

Good luck,

B.
