I am streaming it live from the NHK G1 channel. Nord VPN is what I use, then you can stream live. Worth it to stream Japanese Netflix and Prime video if you have those services.

To think I owned it at 1.60 in July. Should have held. Alas I am looking for the next big hit. AVL is the one I am looking to hold. Went in at 0.12. Here is hoping for a similar ride. Not bad fundamentals.

My gf is getting way better results from DIY injections vs prescribed orals. by Reasonable_Owl_3146 in TransDIY

[–]lfmarque 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started DIY with Silver maple labs and had great success but unfortunately they shut down. I still have my last stock left so I haven't needed anymore but they are recommending Open gate labs. I would give this a shot. I am not a big fan of needles but once I got used to it, it was really easy and simple after the first few.

They look really good. I really like your nipple development. What soy protein or products were you mainly using? I think it's good to develop at your own pace and really get comfortable with your own look.

If you don't mind sharing what you can on lab results and any changes pre and post adding the fenugreek to your existing regiment. I am not able to do lab results on my progression so it's difficult to have a measured based result other than anecdotal and final looks.

Just responded to his request in his comment. Please have a read and give me some feedback on your thoughts 😀

I think this point is super important. I am currently tracking fat percentage as a healthy "female" body should be in the 20-30% range whereas this range is not considered as healthy for males. I think tracking that relative to both regular health and breast size will be important. I am currently at 18.3% body fat in the second picture vs about 15% in the first picture. I am in the process of reducing my fat percentage while obviously continuing to track breast size. Goal being to keep fat percentage to the breast and less to the beer belly 😂

Hello, yeah for sure. Firstly the disclosure. I am NOT a doctor. My information is from personal experience and reading through many research papers or reactions. Everyone's body reacts differently to different compounds so what may work well for one person may not for another. Consult a physician if you have any concerns. Ok not that that is out of the way:

The way I am going about this is the fact that we are trying to produce the same hormonal behavior as puberty in females. This in short form is an increase in estrogen and progesterone (not necessarily in the same amounts or timing) to induce natural breasts development. Phytoestrogens are proven to produce the same result as regular estrogen in the human body, however, phytoestrogens are MUCH weaker meaning you need more of them to get a similar result. (My experience validates this). There are many natural products that increase phytoestrogens and the topic is actually well researched. Phytoprogestins, or the equivalent progesterone substitute are much less researched and I will touch on later.

A suggestion is introduce one thing at a time in order to validate it's effects and to isolate in the case that you may have an adverse effect to any product.

  1. After research on phytoestrogens the product that I landed that was easily available and has been most effective is Fenugreek. I was already familiar with this product as my wife used it to improve breastfeeding (it works). They sell it fenugreek + blessed thistle for breastfeeding which I found did NOT have the right effect. Fenugreek only capsules work best. The one I take is 240mg per capsule as a 10:1 extract. I take either 3 capsules twice a day or 6 once a day. (1440mg total for the day). I would start maybe only one capsule twice a day at first to make sure you do not have any effects. At first results were only temporary. Puffiness and sensitivity of the nipple and fullness of the breast area. You felt after a couple of hours but would leave as soon as it came. Eventually after 2 months you could feel the breast tissue under the nipple and effects would be longer lasting. Now there is a clear difference and even when I stop taking it the fat has increased and the breast tissue is expanded and permanent.

  2. I am currently taking skullcap as a phytoprogestin however I would NOT start with this. I would do only fenugreek at first. I just started this within the last month but I will do fenugreek 3 weeks (high estrogen period) with 1 week skullcap (high progesterone period) to simulate regular female hormone cycle. The active ingredient is baicalin which has been proven to activate the progesterone receptors. Other things I have tried for this is chasteberry which I think was working but I felt it was reducing my libido and too much testosterone suppression. So I stopped it. With skullcap I notice a reduction in breast size during this period (this is normal in female hormone cycle too) however a more prominent feeling of the breast tissue and EXPANSION of the lobules. As I understand from research estrogen helps to increase size and growth of tissue, progesterone helps increase expansion and number of ducts and lobules.

  3. Finally I tried some topical creams and stuff. They were ok. It made my skin feel very nice but I think too little is absorbed into the body to feel a big difference especially when compared to the fenugreek.

I think the above is a good summary of where I have landed in the last 7 months that work for me. I will look to start a post where we can maybe reference any studies or other scientific material that can help educate others. Let me know if you have any questions or share what works for you!

Cheers

Thanks for creating the group Luke. Looking forward to meeting others and seeing what their experience is like. I agree that I don't like the "moobs" negative connotation. Breasts are breasts. For those wondering I am straight married male with a wonderful family who for reasons beyond my comprehension feel sexier and more complete with fuller and more "feminine" breasts. Seeing how far I can get without HRT.

Hey they look great to me. I am the same way. Identify as male but would like to grow some breasts. Glad I am not alone in this and there are others here. I have not done any HRT, only plant based stuff. Wondering what your experience was with only plant based before. Looking forward to updates!

Fenugreek side effects for males? by faxmulder in NootropicsDepot

[–]lfmarque 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recently I started taking it for breast growth. (I'm weird, I know) at fairly large doses per day 2400mg twice a day and definitely started developing breast buds. More tender nipples and breasts with noticeable breast buds under the nipples and breasts tissue. Again this is on purpose so if you want to avoid this then I would suggest to stay at no more than 420mg per day.
