Jts… I totally believe you! Here’s why...
I have been away from this forum for a while but had to come back to comment on this thread in particular.
Back ground: I am 70 yo. I used to want to transition but dropped that idea. Don’t need to go into that now. Sometime in my 40’s I started experimenting with herbs like Black Cohosh. I later learned about Fenugreek, Fennel, etc. I tried all of these, individually and in combination and this was without any T-blocker. I saw some results and got worried about people noticing, so I used herbs on and off for probably 20 years. I had small gains, which was somewhat satisfying but I could never let myself go all the way.
When I retired, I decided to push it more. I was already on a script of Finasteride (5mg) due to prostate problems, so that would be a huge benefit. This time around I initially went with Pueraria Mirifica serum, but heard of some bad side-effects, so I alternated between Fenugreek, Fennel and Red Clover. All of those DO work for me. I got to a solid A-cup and could have just continued on that plan but then for the first time, I heard about BO. Well, I had heard of it before but the idea of ingesting cow’s ovaries kind of grossed me out. Long story short, I tried it.
BO experience: I purchased Swanson “Ovarian Glandular” 250mg caps.
It was very inexpensive so I really wondered if it would be effective.
1st Day: one cap, just to test any side-effects. No side-effects.
2nd Day: two caps, in the morning
3rd Day: two caps, in the morning
On the next morning, I was a little shocked. I was pretty sure that I could see some growth! I thought that it must be in my mind because that is just too fast for anything. That day, I discovered that it was more difficult to get and maintain an erection and my emissions were down from perhaps a teaspoon to maybe five drops of clear liquid. This was a very dramatic difference. Because of this, I am afraid to take any more BO because I do not want to lose all ability to become erect.
That was a few weeks ago, not exactly sure how long. To me, it appears that I am growing very slowly but noticeably, since. FYI, I do use soy milk on my cereal every morning, so that may help a bit. Sounds crazy but I think that I may be on the estro-train with only five caps of BO. Another three months should prove it, one way or the other.
Observations: When I used to take herbs, I would get serious soreness in my hip joints and tended to feel arthritic all over, especially my hands. I sometimes worried that I may be doing damage to my bones. I do not seem to suffer from that now.
I remember many years ago, in the very beginning, getting sore breasts but I have not experienced that since. I always wanted to get breast buds but have not experienced that either. In fact, if I press straight down on my nipple, it feels hollow (for lack or a better word). There is less density under my nipple and the surrounding tissue is much firmer. I am happy with the firmness of my breasts. One breast is larger and more sensitive than the other. I can’t keep my hands off of them.
Libido: Big mental change. I have already discussed the physical change but the mental change is also dramatic. I have lost the “driven” sexual feelings that I have had all my life. I do not think about sex nearly as often, nor as intensely. I rarely skipped a day of “testing my system” but now, I can easily go several days without it. It’s weird. Now that I have my boobies you would think that my libido would go through the roof but it is the opposite. I certainly get excited cupping my boobs in my hands and running my fingernails over my nipples (with a top on, not bare, ouch). But, I do not feel compelled to “finish” off.
Final Thoughts: Since BO converts your hormone balance, perhaps an anti-androgen is unnecessary. I am coincidentally taking Finasteride but perhaps that is not even a factor.
Maybe I am just lucky but I have not worried about what time of day to take the BO, what my body temperature is or if I took it on an empty or full stomach.
It is difficult to imagine that there are people who have had little to no response to BO. Mine was so fast. BO seems to be the cheap and easy path having the breasts that I want. I spent a great deal of money over the years on herbs. So far, I have used about 66 cents worth of BO and may not need any more.
