I started on a very intense herbal regime about 18 months ago - then added chemical horomones about a year ago and have been taking them without medical supervision for year. However I did do a bit of research.
http://lisbeth.freeservers.com/herbal.html#cohash - is the best advice I have found on herbals - I followed her recommendations almost exactly - achieve quite a lot of development - about an A cup - though I was a bit overweight anyway - it was enough that my exgirl friend noticed it and commented after 6 months.
http://www.annelawrence.com/hormoneindex.html - This is the best advise on Hormones - Ann Lawrence is a TS medical practitioner - I am using Estraderm TTS100 patches - I was taking Spironolactone - but have stopped for a while -
I will be getting medical supervision shortly - I have been on this long enough now that I have permenent and noticeable changes - I shall not be able to go topless again - I still get erections still have an active monosex life - But I never had a big sex drive anyway and definately a more female approach to sex than a male one.
My hips are now quite a lot bigger, and my breasts are a good AA to B - Enough that I now use a Gel Bra or an ordinarly bra with Chicken fillets - I don't need full breast forms any more - infact that are difficult to use because of my own development.
