Title: Hips definitely growing...What to expect?
Post by: MrsSmith on February 26, 2017, 02:28:07 PM
So yesterday we went to the beach, I wore a skirt there, but then after I came up out of the water and dried off i switched to a pair of jeans that i brought with me.... Bt once i tried to put them on they would not go over my ass and hips, took me 10 minutes and the help of my boyfriend to get them up and put them on... Those jeans were size 7 and have always fit me until now, so i went and got a new pair and now size ten is fitting, my tummy is still flat, i went from 155 to 185 and its all going to hips, ass and legs, and just a little boob growth... How much are my hips gonna grow before my boobs really take off? Should I expect to wind up a size 14 or something? I'm 30, i dont think it is normal to have this much growth at this age. I turn 31  in a few days,
Not prescribed hormones, I was on a heavy dose of bovine ovary for 3 or 4 months, and then switched to saw palmetto and fenugreek for 2 weeks, then went to pueria mirifica and saw palmetto...Been on that for about a week

Well I'd say you are lucky. I had to have a butt lift to change my manish hips.

The pelvic bones won't change at that age. It must be the fat getting deposited there.

On a side note...

What are bovine ovary, Saw palmetto, Mirifica, Fenugreek? Do they work?

I thought MTF transition uses an Anti Androgen and Estrogen...

They are self medication and for the most part they are a waste of money. Pueria mirifica is a forbidden topic on the site as it can be very dangerous. If you look at the stickies in the HRT sections and in some of the other areas of the site you will find the warning about this. The link (https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,133675.0.html) will take you to the thread on the subject.

We recommend standard HRT administered by a knowledgable doctor as it's the one safe and effective way to transition.

ovary is hardly a waste of money, its true that it contains no estrogen, but the doc watched my e level rise and my t level drop while i was on it, the proof is in the fat redistribution and permanant impotence
