If sterility is a concern to you, I think it would be best to hold off on pursuing NBE as it's certainly possible to grow breasts at a later age. Everybody reacts to pm differently, so it's uncertain when you would be reaching the point of no return in regards to infertility. As I said before, it's not the medical norm for males to grow breast tissue. Trying to accomplish this, even if only for a few months is not something I think should be taken lightly.

Honestly, I think I will hold of for a while or maybe mess with some weaker herbs? Or are those also likely to risk fertility? Thanks for the red flag though, you may have just really impacted my future

The way I see it, pursuing NBE and maintaining fertility are incompatible goals for males. The reason why most males don't develop breasts is because of their testosterone/estrogen ratio. In order to develop breasts, you have to change that ratio. Changing that ratio to develop breasts also puts yourself at a risk of impairing your fertility. The risk can range anywhere from minor to adverse, but it's still there. As a matter of principle, I think if you value your fertility you shouldn't be trying to grow breasts.

If you take weaker herbs and get little to no breast development, you'll probably won't have any real risk of losing your fertility. But then what's the point of taking NBE herbs if you won't get any real breast development? Also, I don't recall hearing about anyone experiencing brain rewiring from taking the weaker herbs. No matter what herbs you're taking, as soon as (or maybe earlier) you start developing breast tissue, you're rolling the dice with reducing or losing your fertility.

Rather than buying weaker herbs to grow breasts while trying to preserve your fertility, I suggest buying some breast forms instead. In the very least I think they can help you decide whether NBE is something you really want to do or not. I think after you have all the children you want would be a good time to evaluate whether NBE is still something you want to do.

And byrony, there's really not any deep anxiety, there's just a lingering feeling that I want to explore more. I'm already quite calm with myself and the only anxiety I've had was just acknowledging the fact that this may just be something I want to pursue, which I've recently gotten over.

Thank you both for your input though, I realllly appreciate it. This community is really something else, you're all great!

From what you've shared so far, it sounds to me like you don't have a concrete reason to pursue NBE, but you do have concerns about the consequences of NBE. With this in mind, I recommend doing self-exploration to learn more about yourself, but don't do anything permanent and potentially irreversible like NBE until you're certain it is what you want and you are okay with the consequences. I think seeing a therapist or joining a transgender support group are excellent ideas to explore these lingering feelings you have. Maybe in time you may realize NBE is something you really want to do, or maybe you might discover that NBE isn't right for you.
