Not to hijack the thread, but any particularly scenic stretches?
As you've no doubt driven/ridden that highway 89 North from Flagstaff, it is a wonderful route. Especially North from Grand Canyon to North of Salt Lake before joining I-15. Ended up on some of the most majestic mountain passes in the area. With plenty of snow and lots of Deer there was plenty to keep your eye on the road. It's a tall question asked due to the many MANY routes I took during the past year to the tune of just over 40,000 miles on the highways and byways of America. And when I get back to riding next month once finishing a good bit of maintenance on the bike my hope is to ride many completely different routes. That's my activities now. feel free to see my routes during the past year if you like. Just click on any ride in the list https://spotwalla.com/publicTrips.php?un=kf6gse
Wow. You have been to a lot of places. You are right. That is a gorgeous route. A slight variant that is also drop dead beautiful if you are heading that direction is to take a slight diversion at Tuba City thru Kayenta and north to Moab.

What can you do to get lovely boobs?
for one thing don't be in a hurry. You can't do that overnight. In my case it happened over many years without any intention to do that. But once you get rid of "T" and begin abusing "E" it will inevitable take shape along with some other changes. Not being cryptic but it simply takes either a lot of time or a lit of money
I recently made the switch from herbs to pharma and my breast growth kicked into high gear. Not only has the E2 helped, but by adding progesterone has greatly improved their appearance. While I used to have decent B-cup boobs, they were a bit droopy. Now theyve plumped up like normal boobs and Im seriously Loving My Boobs now. The Estrogen is incredible vs Herbs and I feel so much more better now. My T is crushed and Im experiencing a balance never felt before. If anyone is interested in improving their breast growth, get micronized progesterone.
Also, the bio effective window for progesterone is very narrow. I guess it has a short half life. That being said, to maximize its effectiveness, topical absorption is around 20%. Same for oral ingestion. Plus oral is metabolized through the liver and further break down occurs. Sublingual is around 50% and it tastes like Jergens lotion. Yuck. The preferred method is rectally insertion and the absorbing rate is around 85% straight into the bloodstream. FYI.
Apparently this new method is all the rage with the trans girls on Reddit. I was desperate for better boob growth and I noticed remarkable improvement results within a month. FYI.

I have heard many accounts of the benefits of progesterone. It's not all good however. S

ome haven't noticed any difference at all.
I plan on asking my doctor for it in a few months.
I go through stages, sometimes in a single day, where I am loving having nice pert little tits, hating the inconvenience of tits, and complete ambivalence about my tits. Most of the time I am just ambivalent. I really don't like wearing a bra, especially in the summer heat, and then I enjoy the support of the bra. My breast started growing gradually and I barely noticed them but once I started on estrogen they exploded in a matter of months (or maybe I just became more aware of them). Anyway, Eunuchs are going to grow breast to some degree regardless of lack of testosterone, artificial testosterone (which converts into estrogen) or taking estrogen.
GGG, check on the not all good info. It seems the WPATH adamant mandate ideas are waning.
I was on a slew of herbs for years to grow boobs. I chose herbs as a way to retain male function. When that became a moot point, I was committed to breast growth and the damage had already been done below. Im still on a Cimetidine regimen, although not as drastic as before. The science behind this just keeps coming and Im taking the bare minimum to attain results.
But, after years of herbals and otc meds to boost breast growth, I had dramatically snoopy/droopy boobs and I was worried that I was going to stay like this. Whereas Ive been a member of the (science) based Breast Nexum site for years, the admin guru there suggested Progesterone to help build breast shape. I also started delving into the many trans groups on Reddit, mainly the Dr. Will Powers subreddit devoted to his method which is heavily dependent on Progesterone, mainly given after reaching Tanner Stage 3.
So, as of right now, Im still DIY. Im taking an acceptable average of doses that many/most TG girls are prescribed. I ordered PG as a means to improve the appearance of myboobs. On a whim at the last minute, I decided to finally order Estrogen. After four years Id finally tired of taking so many different herbs that gave minimal and marginal results. Ill say this, when my retirement is officially official, (?), then Ill look into a proper endocrinologist to get the right blood work and make sure my levels are in the proper range.
But, sojourner, I ordered 2mg of Estrofem and 200mg of Micronized Progesterone. I started out at 2mg a day for a week. Many TG forums stated 2mg wouldnt do squat, so after a week I moved up to 4mg. I stay on 4mg for the next three weeks. It certainly felt more better and I did notice a slight boost. Feeling I was still missing out, and not sure if I was at a proper level, I bumped up to an acceptable standard range of 6mg a day. So far this seems to be a good dose for me and I dont plan on going any higher. Im looking fwd to getting under a doctors care and on insurance because DIY is expensive.
For years I resisted pharmaceutical estrogen, mainly for the coming appearance changes. While I used to be years ago a very active bisexual bottom, and I do have some strong leanings towards TG, Im still not convinced that I want to live life as a woman. I dont see it happening. I love love my skirts and kilts, mainly for comfort, but I have no desire to wear a dress, much less makeup and jewelry. Its just not me. As an experiment, I am going to try to grow my hair out as Im retired now and Ive spent my whole life curious about long hair. Ive shaved my whole body for twenty years. But I cant ever see myself officially transitioning. In my little small Southern town where I know half the people here, Im pushing things as it is.
That being said, Sean, I somewhat agree with your assessment. The bigger these things get, the more theyre in the way. While I love the way they look and feel, Im extremely upset at how much it hurts to sleep now. I always used to sleep on my stomach. No more. I now sleep on my side but it wakes me up at night with bad shoulder pain.
I have huge nipples now. I mean, big. Kinda shocking actually. But a bra at times is a necessity. While Ive yet to find a proper bra, I did take Seans recommendation on the sports bra and I like it very much. Ive worn it several times while on my garden tractor or out in the yard. What a royal pain it is to be wearing a soaking wet tight garment that is loaded with hot greasy sweat. Yuck x 10.
Anyway, while Im not trying to transition, I am loving the changes E gives. Shrinking of cartilage in feet and hands, slimming of legs and arms due to fat shifting, etc. The one thing I love most of all is the calming effect. Well, from four years of screwing around with my testosterone levels, I think Im most happy Ive found hormonal balance. Zero T absolutely sucks. At least with E, I now have a proper balance without the raging T fueled jerk I used to be. Im much more thoughtful and calm and considerate and loving these days. I dont drive 100mph on the interstate anymore, either. Thank God!
Im unsure if I listed it above, but due to the very nature that progesterone is, oral dosings and liver metabolism rates are something like 20%. Rectal administered progesterone bypasses the liver and goes straight into the bloodstream with absorption rates around 85%. So, thats what Im doing. Within a months time, my droopy boobs are now a memory. Thank God!
With regards to not transitioning, I did do the FaceApp thing to see what I’d look like as a woman, as so many TGs stated it was surprisingly accurate. I have to say, I fell in love with her. I guess I saw myself in her. LoL. She was beautiful! But, I’m still not convinced that’s the life that I want to lead.
But I took that FaceApp photo and plugged it into a Portrait A.I. app and my Avatar is the result. That’s kind of a neat app, btw. It gives you a painting result of a photo and it’s based on the portrait artists of say, the 17th century.
What size are you at now, Sean? I’m still a B-Cup, I guess you would say by appearance. My band is 45 and my bust is 49, so technically I’m a D-Cup, but that’s just not so. Us men typically have barrel chests and that is my case too. While I’m filling and rounding out, I’m not really getting (much) bigger yet. So I guess what I’m saying is, I’m still able to hide myboobs. A plaid button up shirt does wonders for this. While I hope to get much more bigger boobs, I’m glad that it is possible to hide them in certain circumstances. I might dress androgynous one day. You’ll never catch me in a little black dress. It’s amazing how you can fool people though I’ve seen huge man boobs on dudes. They dress like a dude and no one bats an eye. If the same dude wore a feminine blouse, people would freak out. Go figure.
Lastly, Sean, it’s good to see you posting again. I was worried we lost you there for a while. I read your blog often, and I consider you a valuable member of the community, as well as just a great overall person. I value your expertise and experience and opinions.
