[Lotus]

I've stumbled on some threads that really elucidate more on this cycling mystery. I recommend checking them out and be sure to read as many comments as you can because they have so much good information (especially pay attention to the comments Lotus made on the threads!). Some things I've found out is that cycling helps to address estrogen dominance and to spare the liver from toxicity and it also helps to prevent stalling while on herbs. I would have quoted everything, but I haven't figured out how to do that, lol.

I'm just starting to realize how crucial it is to have a well-rounded herbal program that includes cycling. It's often not just one component that equals a successful NBE journey, and most of the women on here who have had the best success has done so by taking a combination of herbs and also by cycling. Balance is key! But remember that looks differently for everyone, so you got to find out what works for you!

Question for Lotus: In theory, women shouldn't have to work as hard as men who are transitioning to grow our breasts because they really are working against the currents (they have high T and low E among other things). So cycling/herbal plans should look different for men and women on here. I'm not saying that there wouldn't be similarities, either, but I hope you kind of get the gist of what I mean. Would you say that you agree, and do you think you could give your thoughts about this, Lotus? Because I do see that some women's cycling plans seem to be better suited for men who are transitioning, and at best it's just wasting efforts with unnecessary or excessive steps, but at worse it can be harmful to our bodies and cause issues. And since you know things from both sides of the coin (with all your research and with your own personal experience) maybe you can help to clear this up.

Hi Zara,

Exactly, women shouldn't have to work harder to get their desired results (for NBE) in theory, if all goes well you'd get 2-3 cups inside 6 months...so how come it doesn't work that way?. A sobering static showed a proportion of transitioning mtf's will get breast augmentation at some point in their future. I can understand the reasoning why women and mtf's end up going that way....the natrual breast maintenance alone is maddening though...but breast augmentation maintenance is certainly a major detractor in ones final decision making process right?. I have hashimotos so NBE and hrt is no walk in the park for me, (its a distinct disadvantage tbh)....despite hashimotos my determination was (is) undaunted, and that's no less with serious NBE'ers out there quite honestly. For me I see things (the science) untarnished from limitations what science says can't be done, keep hunting for same and you'll soon see no limitations ....and in this case reset the " set points " (thermoregulatory process) for optimal performance.

Hugs, L.
