The herbal way

    A few months ago i decided to try herbal hormones. i wanted to see if there were any improvements i could make, whilst waiting for a referal to see the gender Identity clinic, to my body and lifestyle. i wanted to grow breasts and soften my skin. i thought i would, in moderation, try some well known herbal supplements. An experiment that at the first sign of trouble i would stop.

    i ordered fenugreek, red clover and saw palmetto online, a three month supply that i hoped would begin to help me in my quest for femininity. i began to take them, 2 tablets three times daily of each, along with Evening primrose oil to aid my skin condition. i suffer from Psoriasis so i figure this will help as well.

    The first month was fine. No reactions and my skin began to feel softer and shaving became easier. the second month i felt my chest soften and slowly start to rounden, under my nipples and around the chest, shaving was now much easier, the hairs coming away quickly, i was also becoming slightly more emotional as well. i began to take things to heart and found myself struggling to contain tears in instances my male self would shrug off. whether these conditions are related i cant say for sure but i began to feel different for sure.

     I was surprised! the effects were subtle but definite. I'm now in the tenth week and i can say for sure my chest is now fuller and rounder. A top i wear every so often, that without a padded bra was lose, now felt stretched across my chest and under my arms, My work t shirts feel tighter and my waist has shrunk two sizes. My joy was immense as i can wear a lovely french connection skirt i had long abandoned some 8 years ago but kept in vain hope that i could once again be a size twelve.

     My chest feels heavier and i have a small cleavage without bra. my legs feel smoother and i swear my hips and bottom have become fuller. my love handles have almost disappeared and with a balanced diet i have lost nearly two stone or 28 pounds. I feel different both physically and mentally. the only downside i have is extra sensitivity around my chest and my nipples have also changed. they look larger and are sensitive to the touch, sometimes painfully so. I will continue these supplements and hope i gain even more positive results. i am due a blood test soon so i hope that everything is fine. for those who wish to try the herbal way, please check any side effects and dont take if you are diabetic. As i say i am happy with the results and i hope to enjoy the benefits for a while yet.

  • Lucy Diamond To all you girls, some impartial advice: Bio-identical hormones are cheaper, safer and much more effective than any herbal substitute. The subject of herbals is not taboo here, it's just that some people hold a different opinion on them. Faye, I hope...  more
