After just following the posts for a while I want to share some of my experiences with PM. I have no transitioning plans but have always been attracted to the androgynous path and the forum inspired me to give PM a try. I took it for a total of 2 months, first ramp up to 1000mg, then a break of a week (to see the effect) then ramp up to 1500 mg and finally ramp down. Here are my observations. I added a (+) for pleasant and a (-) for not so pleasant experiences:
- Lost 3 pounds (+)
- Smoother skin, first noticed on belly but the face and arms and legs as well (+)
- decreased libido after just a few days (- but got used to it)
- fat redistribution, less belly ("spare tire area") more hips. Suddenly the waist of some pants seemed too large. (+)
- slower growth and finer face and body hair (+)
- some breast growth. Not so much visible in pictures but I can feel a thicker layer an top of the muscles and my nipples seem a bit puffier (+)
- At the beginning and end, during ramp-up and down, I felt some sinus headache for about 3 days (-)
- Less sweating (-)
- Less muscle strength (-)
- Hardly any allergies, less pain in joints, more flexibility (+)
- Leg muscle cramps at night during ramp-down (-)
- It took about a week for the libido to fully be back, and other symptoms like allergies, more sweating,
- Sore nipples, even a bit now, three weeks after stopping
Overall, a really interesting experience. I was amazed, how many things can shift in relatively short time just by taking an herb...
