Do people with smaller boob genes have less time before T.E.B, or perhaps can they theoretically grow indefinitely as well, so long as they stall T.E.B indefinitely?
Good to see you back again, Lotus. As nice as it is with just the other progress threads, its not the same without your science posts " alt="" title="">

Hi Dru, (thank you for the kind words)
From my experience I can tell you having PC (progesterone cream) early in my program definitely helped. PC helps to mature breasts (including side branching of breast ducts), inhibits DHT, reduces hot flashes, alleviates insomnia, protects against breast cancer, and new find of reducing the chance of DVT by 10-15%, and a few other things.
In the archives of this thread I've discussed how when estrogen is in the presence of progesterone they work synergistically. An example of the two working together is in BC (birth control pills). A side effect from using combo BC is breast growth. When girls have their first menstrual cycle estrogen and Progesterone are released. But, breast bud fusion presents itself in early puberty too, meaning too much estrogen is overstimulating breast buds resulting in the fusion of T.E.B.'s (terminal end buds), in other words poor breast growth outcomes.
In essence, NBE (or even HRT) is starting in a similar puberty stage. Male breasts are dormant up until the time they're not...via NBE/HRT, low T, environmental toxins zapping your gonads...etc. The only difference to male breasts (structurally) we lack the milk ducts that genetic females have, or gynecomastia would look like beautiful breasts after inhibiting T. Though genetic male's can lactate...however it's rare when it does...I know, bummer right?
In my opinion (and from personal experience) progesterone needs to be included on day one for the stated reasons.
Take care Dru.
Hopefully I can get to other people questions ASAP (tonight).
