I am hoping to be less anxious, more in touch with my emotions, less obsessed with sex, essentially a more feminine mind to match my internal conception of myself.
I've always felt too ruled by testosterone and PM sounds like a chance to change that.
I also want to feminize my body without it becoming so obvious that I can't easily pass as a normal male. I'm concerned about the possibility of PM causing drastic physical changes. Most people don't have very extreme breast growth do they?

I don't know how old you are, whether you are in a serious relationship with someone, or whether having kids someday is a factor. These are things you need to take into account. I'm not in favor of keeping one's NBE a secret from a spouse. For me, having my wife's blessing on this has been a huge plus for my mental well being. Not everyone is as fortunate that way.
It's not a bad idea to hold off on starting NBE until it becomes very clear to you that it's the right thing to do.

I've always liked women, but felt that I couldn't really be with a woman long term when I felt that I was not 100% male. Does that make sense?
(30-12-2013, 09:14 PM)ClaraKay Wrote: Those are good questions. I can only speak for myself as a relative newbie to NBE. Yes, I'm more open to growing breasts than at the start. And, yes I believe it will be possible to hide them under clothing up to a point. But, face it, I'll be inviting stares if I go shirtless at the beach or use the YMCA showers.

I find it increasingly difficult to be more feminine, yet continue to present convincingly like a man on a daily basis. Having breasts will be the main give away, but it's interesting how allowing your inner woman to express herself a little makes her demand more and more room to blossom. That can happen even without other physical changes to your body.
It really depends on how strong your female gender identity is. Taking PM seems to affect the mind in unpredictable ways, too. It seems to activate a part of your brain that has lain dormant and unnoticed for years.
I find myself watching girls a lot more. Not just in a sexual way, but noticing how the talk and move, how they dress and adorn themselves. I find myself doing little things differently now, driven by my subconscious desire to be more like them. That's the scariest thing for me. That is, seeing myself being taken over slowly by this other me who has been given license to lay claim to my soul.
So even if you do all you can to preserve the image of yourself as a man to the world, you will begin to let go of it little by little, consciously and subconsciously. It's inevitable because that's who you are. It's just a matter of degree. The question many of us ask ourselves is: Am I transsexual? It's very hard to know how far the transitioning process will take you until you take the first step.
Now if that's not scary....

I'd try taking 320-640mg of Saw Palmetto [85% extract] and 1000mg Spearmint daily for a month. If you don't feel the desired changes, add 500mg of PM daily for one month and increase it by 500mg per month until you do feel your mood change not to exceed 1500mg daily.
