Hey folks.
Here's to catch up and recapitulate some recent developments.
I was off my regimen for six weeks, starting the fast at the beginning of November. Breasts took offense and about a year's worth of growth disappeared into thin air (yikes!!!). What surprised me even more was the facial hair, rampant regrowth started on cheeks and neck, where it'd been more or less eradicated by laser. At that time I was on finasteride for a fortnight only, so I probably have to credit the reishi/green tea extract combo for inhibition of facial hair growth. I'd suspected it of inefficiency the whole time. However it turned out finasteride still works better for me, because it later achieved what I've so far only read about: an almost clear and visibly mutilated semen (quite a sickening sight if you ask me, made me feel bad about the maiming going on in my body...:/)
Speaking of which: the sperm for cryoconservation was of passable quality and a month long break was therefore long enough. Curiously though my testosterone level was way elevated (above the male range) in a blood sample taken 4 weeks after stopping the dosing. Go figure.
I was mostly feeling as a guy during that time and therefore did not feel much. Only in restrospect I can see how good it is it's over and done.
Fast forward a month. Breasts are slowly growing back, but it's still a long road to their October heyday.
And I'm on HRT finally. It's 50 mg cyproterone acetate and 4 mg estradiol, orally and sublingually. I'm going to slowly use up my stock of AAs and WP and after that only 5 mg of finasteride will remain. MSM, coconut oil, milk thistle, massage combo I'm going to keep too. I've already dropped PM.
If you have switched from PM based NBE program to the HRT, I would very much appreciated your input here. Have you kept some aspects of NBE program? Which?
And how are things? Things are well. I'm not gonna use the big words, instead I'll let the euphoria pass and certain fatigue set in (as it's always happened before) and then I'll see. But for the first time since like ever it truly feels the living and aspiring is worth the effort of getting out of bed in the morning. The future's not a burden but a present box:).
Okay, I did use some big words after all:D. How like me :rolleyes: .
