Hi Isabelle,
I've been experimenting "AGAIN" and I need your help in trying to figure this one out.
On June 4th I stopped taking all herbs (just took my Testim). I continued not using any herbs for 18 days ... everything went back to "maleness" ... no more boobs, and starting to return to being more "short tempered" than I like to be.
So then on June 22nd I decided to start taking herbs again.
I have been taking:
- Natures Answer Liquid Hops Extract
- Natures Way Fenugreek Seed Capsules
- Natures Way "Standardized" Saw Palmetto Extract GelCaps
- Licorice Tea ... made strong (2 bags in a decent sized mug)
I slowly ramped up quantities until I got to where I am at for the past two days
I've listed below what I took and when (REMEMBER I DON'T STALL)
July 6th and 7th … Day 16/17 of NBE
- 6:20 AM … 8,000 mg Hops Extract in Oatmeal
- 6:25 AM … 2 - 160mg Capsules of Standardized SP
My boobs already have that tingly awareness this morning. (6:30 AM)
- 6:45 AM … 1 ½ tubes of Testim
It’s 7:25 AM … I’m feeling a little rushy and sweaty.
- 9:38 AM … 6 610mg FG Capsules
- 11:51 AM … Mug of Licorice Tea made with 2 Bags of Alvita Brand Tea.
- 2:00 PM … 2 - 160mg Capsules of Standardized SP
- 3:20 PM … ½ tube of Testim
- 6:00 PM … 4,000 mg Hops with Yogurt
- 7:45 PM … 2 - 160mg Capsules of Standardized SP
- 8:30 PM … 2 FG Capsules
I woke up around 9:30 PM feeling "rushy" . My boobs are feeling big!!!
Went back to sleep around 10:30 PM … slept crappy all night.
I’m sleeping around an hour at a time.
Lots of dreams … not sexual just intense and strange.
Felt warm again all night and had a hard erection almost all night.
I’m also very horny …
So to list my symptoms:
- Feel flushed and warm most of the time … especially face and ears
- Mood is pretty calm and stabile
- Normal amount of energy
- An “awareness” to my breast region … hard to explain but it’s like I am “more aware” of having a chest than usual
- No swollen ankles
- Not sleeping well
- Boobs seem to be getting more fatty tissue sent to them
- Most times nipples are very soft and often have Montgomery glands popping out, other times they are sticking out and my nipples and areola are very rubbery feeling
- Lots of spontaneous erections
- Extremely horny
- Nipples feel very sensitive when my robe brushes over them
- Very into reading stories about “forced” man-to-woman gender changes
I’m kinda confused … I would expect my DHT to be getting lower and my Estradiol to be getting higher based on what I am taking and what I noticed as I ramped up … yet my libido seems higher and my erections are like the energizer rabbit.
What do you think? Any ideas?
Thanks ... Karen
