Hello lovelies. <3 Happy pride month. I hope its happy, I've been in some mental rut for a while...
Herbals are doing their job as expected, but my development has clearly showing signs of slowing down. In particular, the little experiment with using PG cream daily resulted into interesting things. Clearly I gained more fullness during that but growth stalled. Then I went back to what I did before, PG three times a week, on Wednesdays and bit more on weekends. Needless to say, growth restarted right away. I think the issue here is that PM and E cream combo as an estrogen source is to weak that adding PG keeps it in check almost too well, so the advice on using PG once every three days or every other day seems to be the best approach. At least at this time, I would presume this being completely different if there would be pharma E in the mix or PM dose would be way higher which isn't worth it. I will attach a pic of the spreadsheet, circled the daily PG days. The rolling average is the cyan/blue line near the top of the picture, you can see right away how that + daily PG use correlates.
So yea, do not shy away from using PG, its essential, but it clearly the dosage must be balanced depending on how much estrogen, plant or otherwise you're on.
I'm going to keep the PM dose even more stable than before. Complete breaks or very small dose out of the blue just wrecks my mental state. My body reacts so strongly to this, I think I will keep more stable dosage than before. And I don't like it too much as its obvious that the 5/2 day system is very good idea, I've had a jump in the measurements (the rolling avg. in particular) during or after the weekend break many times so it does make sense in case there's no crazy mental upheaval like I seem to be getting.
Latest change is that I've started taking reishi twice a day. I'm now one week in with this and I'm experiencing some of the same effects as what I had when I first started it. Dull ache in my boy parts, all emotions are as if multiplied, lot of mental ups and downs and lot of that soothing fluffy euphoria which seems to correlate with DHT doing down. I was suspecting that one cap (500mg 20:1 extract) of reishi per day wasn't working well enough so I decided to test taking another in the evening. I will do this for the next few weeks and see what how my body reacts to it. So far its clearly doing what I expected it to. The mental mess likely settles in another week or two. I wish I wasn't so sensitive to these changes, some people don't seem to get all the roller coaster from this and I get it all, big time.
I'm waiting for the estrofem to arrive... Likely I wont switch over until I'm done with current PM stash, still two bottles untouched and one has enough for few days at least. Once that is done, I will likely take a week or two completely off everything as I've had such long time without any breaks. It will likely result into nasty break downs and crying and feeling like shit, but I want to cleanse my system before jumping the ship. It seems likely now that I can't get my labs done any time soon. The GP's here do not book stuff they think is unnecessary or kind of stuff they don't understand... Its a question of responsibility. Labs will wait until I get to the trans clinic, they will book it right away once they know I've been altering my hormones already. I heard that last year the waiting list to the first meeting was about one month. With luck, I may get it quite soon. Doctor is booked on 10th, so its not that far off.
Other than the mental mess and ton of crying without apparent reason, I've been doing ok lately. There's just so much to do all at the same time. Album recordings with my bands, transitioning, moving in with my gf. We finally made the decision and found a perfect place, occicially in there on July 1st. So lot of stuff to do here. I'm sorry for not having a nice new boob pic to post, I have been lazy snapping them as there isn't much progress to show. I will likely take a while and post some when there's visible change going on.
