Hi Nips!
I can't believe how similar our starting points are. Here's my experience:
I took PM in 2013, a very low dose and actually lost weight. I was under a great deal of emotional stress at the time, so that certainly factors into it, but I maintained what little breast tissue I had and lost about 30 lbs. (Approx 1/6 of my starting weight)
In 2015 I started on a BO protocol, and noticed that I began to put on a little weight. For various reasons, weight gain being least among them, I felt that BO was not the method for me, although I did gain about an inch.
Today I am currently using a similarly low dose of PM and sheep placenta along with white peony, Reishi mushroom, green tea extract, MSM, and Vitex, and am again losing weight (under slightly less stress, but working a lot, which is a little physical). Although the tape measure frustratingly has yet to budge, the breasts feel heavier and jigglier, and I feel as if there's some viable progress growth-wise.
What I do notice though, and I think this is important, is that as we change the hormonal balance toward estrogens or progesterones, we are simultaneously turning away from testosterones, therefore the nature of my body fat is changing. I weigh less, to be sure, but it is certainly more fat and less muscle. Granted, I do not work out with any regularity, but I am fairly active as a general rule.
I don't know if this is helpful, but I hope so!
. You've made some good progress already!
Xo, Soli
