I hope to reach my mid term goal by the end of 2023, but having T in the upper range is what really concerns me. I think it's all stress related though and I just made one of my biggest decisions for my personal life and career: taking a break from everything. I hope this way my anxiety is more bearable and in the long term, gone for a while. I am taking a 8 month break from work and studies, literally, I am not going to do anything haha.
Yes, DHT is the worst by far! But it also helps with fitness purposes, that is why I don't want to suppress it at 100%. Just lowering all Ts in my case I think it will be enough, and boosting my E and Progesterone levels as well. I have the prolactin a bit elevated (I think 26 out from 24) and again, as you pointed out, it must be the damn stress. So yes I am going to lower Ts, take pueraria during follicular and progesterone cream in luteal phase and let's se if the magic happens hahah.
You said everything : hormones, a good program pumping + consistency. That's the recipe, indeed. And not overdoing. So whoever who would like to pump, should be aware of these three things. It takes a village to raise the boobies, lol
A few years ago, Ellen, a beloved member of the forum, shared in her thread that studies on negative pressure suggest that it leads to cell division, such as in fat cells and tissues. So, my theory is that with more cells, it becomes more difficult for them to die during the process of losing fat. I had to lose 13 kilograms, and it wasn't until I lost the eighth kilogram that I didn't see any reduction in measurements. After losing 10 kilograms, I only lost 2.5 centimeters. It was quite interesting, to be honest.
Right now I am going to start body recomposition again, it takes a lot of time, at least 12 months but I plan to add Noogleberry to avoid loosing cm in my bust in a couple of months (first I need to see if the herbs are working and according to that, I'll incorporate pumping into the routine).
Lara, do you use the gauge? What pressure of level do you reach with it? I'm really curious about your journey, sorry haha it's quite impressive!
