Started
experimenting principally with Fenugreek (found out the hard way that
fenugreek adds a strong (but not entirely unpleasant musk odor to the
sweat)
Fenugreek is known to excite the sweat glands, and I came to the
conclusion that my body was telling me how much it could actually use.
Namely if I smelled to strongly, I was overdosing.
I added and subtracted components while listening carefully to my
body and measuring breast size and shape on a daily basis.
I found that it was difficult to establish a baseline, since there
were small daily changes, and that the changes I was looking for were
extremely subtle.
On a subjective level, I could sense changes, and there was an
increase of about half an inch to 3/4 inch differential.
I was also putting on weight as a result I decided to take a month
off, to Stabilize my system
|
| 8/27/2000 - 9/26/2000 |
Month off. |
| 9/27/200 -10/26/2000 |
I was
using a larger dosage morning and afternoon.
The net effect of this was very rewarding. Breast size was slightly
increased, but the form or 'cut' was more pronounced.
Further, there seemed to be a softening of features with a slightly
more feminine appearance.
I also perceived a re distribution of weight elsewhere.
|
| 10/27/2000 -11/3/27 2000 (1st Quarter) Balanced with
slight Estrogen Dominance. |
During this period,
the overall dosage was reduced. While this was part of the program, I
did notice a slight weight loss.
I'm not sure whether this is purely because of my expectations, but I
did seem slightly lower in terms of mood...not cranky...just 'blah'
On the plus side, I felt a sense of 'healthiness' if that makes any
sense.
I noticed too, that even at low levels of dosage that the 'musty'
smell associated with fenugreek persisted. It suggests to me that my
body is using all it can for now. And that a larger dosage is probably
not advisable.
|
| 11/4/2000 - 11/10/2000
Pronounced Estrogen Dominance. |
I am continuing to lose a little weight which
is a good thing...It doesn't help the cup size, but it does contribute
to my overall sense of well being.
I noticed almost immediately a lightening of mood. I am in good
spirits even though I am rattling around like an old pill
bottle...taking 18 capsules at a sitting is for the birds *s*
|
| "Fertile" 11/11/2000.
Relax receptors, allows Est levels to reduce. |
A day off from rattling. |
| 11/12/2000 - 12/3/2000
Progesterone Dominance with higher overall levels of Est. |
Throughout this period, noticed a few
changes. Slightly short-tempered, a slight loss in body fat (breast
size), and generally felt a bit "down" |
| Summary |
Well, it had to be tried, but my feeling is
that cycling on this basis is
a) not going to be terribly effective
b) a heck of a lot of work.
The net effect was to reduce many of the secondary sexual
characteristics that I was looking for, and make me moody to boot.
After doing some more homework on phytoestrogens, this makes a good
deal of sense, since unlike chemical estrogens, they don't stay in the
body terribly long.
I am going back to a stable, month round dosage...however I am going
to "tweak" the formula a little. |
| December 2000 |
I've managed to find a high quality source of
natural estrogen.
The new regimen includes:
500mg plant based estrone (tastes absolutely awful)
500mg Wild Yam with Diosgenin extract
500mg Red Clover compound
500mg Saw Palmetto
Twice daily. |
|
Comments:
I can feel the difference within about 2 days.
The first thing I notice is that the estrone has a very high fiber
content and (without being crude) I have become extremely
"regular"
Although this is still the first week, I am very pleased with the
results, the fullness has come back. In fact, I am noticing that not
only has the size seemed to increase slightly, but there is more
definition or cut to the breast shape.
I'm also noticing a return of that "achy" feeling in the
breast tissue, which suggests that something is going on.
It's frustrating that the process is so gradual...but it's rewarding
to see results...no matter how subtle. |
