I am wondering about my chances of budding as well. I’m guessing it is just ‘simply!’ a matter of time. I have been taking pituitary gland, ovarian gland and fenugreek as well as topical creams and massage for about 3 months. Four FG spaced during the day, 1 PG am and pm, 4 BO, 1 am, 1 midday and 2 before bed. . My bust has definitely increased, I am filling up the cups of my bras much better than before, but still sadly very much ‘man boobs’ I think. During my massages I look and feel for signs of budding, and some days I do feel a small peanut sized bud perhaps but the next day for example, they seem to have ‘disappeared ‘. Also any budding that I do feel is much more pronounced in my left breast than my right. Is it just a matter of more time?

BO is different for everyone, I took a similar regimen for 24 months had some growth, 2 cup sizes, some sensitivity changes in the nipples and a little bit of nodules forming behind the nipples and areolas, not quite budding. I started really budding after I started on estradiol.

You probably want something to:
- decrease testosterone (maybe specifically DHT)
- increase aromatisation
That with the PM or FG or bovine should help.
White Peony capsules or Red Reishi capsules with your PM or FG would help.
After budding then get progesterone cream.

Lol
That would be the estradiol lane. It's more efficient and does not take years and you don't have to take a cocktail of supplements. I know most people think it is for transitioning but I and many others here on E are not transitioning.

Thank you all so nuch! I really do appreciate your help, all of you. I will definitely look into estriadol, but I am guessing it is a pharmacy/ prescription drug? I do have green tea extract tabs as well as red reishi in my next order which hopefully will arrive in the next couple of days.
I just also simply have to say what a brilliant community this forum is, it has been a godsend to me and I am sure many others too. Thank you all again. Take care.
