[GoneGirl]

My wife told me that if I had a medical condition that made me grow breasts, she'd be fine with it. But if I took something to grow them, she wouldn't be happy. I think the possible benefits far outweigh that. They could potentially bring some excitement to our personal life. And, I pray with time she will agree.

Katrina, I can sure relate to what you are experiencing, and I think you are on the right track.

My initial justification for taking PM was to find relief from my gender dissonance and compulsive behavior. Both my wife and I agreed that it was worth giving PM a try to find relief, but the prospect of significant breast growth from taking PM long term was a concern. I explained to her that I'd know long before there were any irreversible changes to my body if it was going to help or not. She agreed to go ahead on that basis.

I was on PM less than 2 weeks when the mental calmness kicked in. My wife could tell the difference herself and welcomed it. The question then became: Do I continue on with the treatment or not? We agreed it was best to continue, proceeding one step at a time. I figured I could go as long as six months on PM without irreversible breast growth or permanent loss of male function. I told my wife there was also a chance, albeit small, that I might be able to reduce my PM dosage enough to stop growth but still keep the mental benefits.

As the program progressed, my wife became more at ease about my breast growth. The mental calmness and heightened emotional sensitivity that I was experiencing had the effect of strengthening our relationship. That convinced her that continuing to take PM was a good thing despite the prospect of breast development. I, of course, was delighted about that possibility, and so here we are at week 10 with no regrets to speak of at this point.

It's still a step-by-step process for us. I say 'us' because I feel it has to be something we both are comfortable with for it to work out well. I'd be happy with small breasts that are ease to hide. I expect to continue to present publicly as a male. I'm not TS.

I'm supposed to reduce my PM dosage as much as I can while preserving my improved mental state. I have to admit, though, I want to see more development before I do that, and I've told my wife that. So far she's okay with it, and is showing a lot of interest in the fun possibilities that my growing breasts have to offer.

Keep in mind, Katrina, that I don't have the complications of young children in the house or a job where transgenders might be unwelcome. I think such considerations are what scare some spouses more than anything else.

In my opinion, breast growth taking PM *is* a medical condition, and justifies my going ahead. I expect to use that explanation myself when the time comes to handle those inevitable inquiring minds.
