Gaining

Ah! I hope you become enormous.

I wanted to say thank you so much for posting this thread and documenting your journey here. I'm only now really exploring my gender identity, but I've been eyeing PM for over half a decade for feminization but too hesitant to try it. Your thread gave me the courage to go out and try some, now that my options for going out and trying to get HRT are indefinitely limited due to the pandemic.

I bought a bottle of 60 500mg caplets of pueraria from Amazon. As a precaution I'm taking one per day for my first week, currently on day four. On day eight I'm upping the dose to 1000 and sticking with that for the next month to gauge its effects. I haven't been able to measure myself yet, but I'd like to try keeping tabs similar to you. I might make a thread of my own too, if I can work up the courage for that.

I'm going into this more or less experimentally as well. My mother's chin deep in the snake-oil of essential oils and "natural remedies" so I'm extra hesitant with non-tested medicines. But I've read a small trickle of positive anecdotes from yourself and others that ultimately leads me to at least try it and see if it could help me. I'm not holding out TOO much hope but if it works even a little, that's progress toward the kind of body I want. And golly gee willickers I want boobies.

I've also seen that saw palmetto is supposed to be a decent anti-androgen, so I'm doing a bit further research to see if that could be right for me as well to add to the regiment.



I started to truly question my gender identity around two years ago, and it's taken me a while to accept that I want feminizing hormones. I WAS gonna try to work up the courage to go to a local clinic for mental health and gender help after quitting my last job... right as the outbreak was starting to come into popular consciousness haha. Oops.



Thank you so much!

Has anyone who is taking PM gotten extreme shoulder or other joint pain? I'm not talking a little discomfort, I am talking screaming out loud pain.

Someone on another website said he had shoulder and arm pain, just like I do, and he had to stop. It looks pretty bleak after finally starting to develop after wanting this for 56 years.

How much growth have you seen since you started PM?

I agree with that. Been taking PM for 2 years. My breasts get sore, itchy routinely and have grown so that in a tighter shirt they are quite noticeable.

I've done PM for almost 2 years and results are pretty good. I also pump with noogleberry regularly. Just upsized to the XL size. Hoping to fill then eventually but that's a big ask.

Well I think self realization is important for anyone and especially people considering transition. It's not an easy path for most. But for some it's the best, or maybe only, option. I had to smile about you mentioning delaying transition until it becomes too hard to hide. You can hide a lot but at some point...

Think I'm gonna chime in here. I transitioned for 4 years on hrt. Without a doubt its absolutely imperative that you have regular checks on your hormone levels and get the correct dosages. Hormones can really mess with alot of your body functions, muscles mass and bone density, mental health.

Here in the UK its kind of a one size fits all on dosages and its really damaging. And the lack of funding of this sector of our health care led to my blood analysis not being done. Long story short for a year I had no testosterone at all, lost bone density, muscle mass and it wrecked my mental health. I was actually going paranoid schizophrenic, and tried to kill myself.

In the end I chose my sanity over my vanity. And I've been de transitioned for 2 years. Sure yeah I would love to have the right body. I still feel like alphonse elric, trapped in that suit of armor. But I've had to learn to appreciate the good in my life and focus on that. There's things I can't change about my body and I just had to accept that.


SO PLEASE VERY CAREFUL! Coming from a former trans woman. I hope you have better luck than I did.
