Day 1
Greetings. I am Doctor Angela Ziegler, and you are reading a live dictation of my research notes, chronicling my experiment, the Bovine Hormone Therapy and Enrichment Program. As with all first day dictations, the purpose of this log is simply to gloss over the process and explain what this project is. I dictate all of my notes so that I have them to refer back to, for lack of any assistants in the lab at the moment, and so that they may serve as a companion to the papers I will be writing once these are completed, showing a deeper look into my methodology and my processes than I am able to convey in something meant for publication. I hope that, should you be reading these, you will find them helpful to your understanding of my process, as I believe this to be one of the most ambitious projects I have ever undertaken.
The primary purpose of this research is to build on the back of what I have already done in the work of isolating and experimenting on bovine hormones, and I recommend referring to my paper, Isolating the Human Vectors for Bovine Hormone In Medicine And Opening Possibilities for Cross-Mammalian Treatments to learn more about that work. My work will be centered around the use of treated samples I have ready for use in a myriad of ways, as I treat synthesized human elements with them. In these first stages, I will be experimenting only on lab-grown samples of human tissue and on certain bacteria I believe can be treated through the implementation of these hormones.
My belief in the capacity of bovine hormones is rooted in the [...]
Day 4
[...] importance of careful hands in the lab as much as in the operating room, lest you have an incident where a sample is--shit! Fuck, I--ah, no. No, do not, ah! I have stabbed myself with a syringe full of hormone samples. It is--ha ha, I cannot believe, so quickly off of the things I said about safety and control in a lab environment that I would do such a thing.
I do, however, believe these hormones to be non-toxic, and so I will not be stressing the matter at all. A mild pain at worst, but I will be okay. It is only a pin prick, I have suffered much worse and lived. I will be okay, I will simply clean the wound, sterilize, and bandage it. It is my firm belief I will suffer no untoward consequences of this, as I continue my research. At worst I am simply down a sizable amount of processed sample, and I will need to work to acquire more sooner than expected. But I will be okay. What is important is this experiment, and I have faith in not only the powers of this for good, but in its safety to human beings, so I will hold firm in those convictions.
Day 5
After careful examination and sleeping with measurements of my vitals constantly being monitored, I have assessed that I am perfectly fine. My accident yesterday has proven to only that; an accident. I lost some sample, but I am otherwise without any worry for my health or my well being. I will continue to move on with my experiments, which continue to be of the utmost importance I will make sure to indicate any changes of them in these recordings, should any symptoms or problems emerge; these are, after all, not rigid scientific documentations of anything. If you have pushed on through all of my ramblings and speeches, then you can handle updates. These logs simply keep me from talking entirely to myself and losing my mind.
With that said, the efforts of today will be [...]
Day 6
[...] Oh, why is this seat so uncomfortable? I find myself changing position every few minutes, and my body feels like it is in the way of my arms like it never has been before. I... Hm. My breasts do feel tender today. Perhaps larger than normal, which is not an expected sign of anything, particularly given my period is still so distant, but it is probably my mind own getting to me. Nothing mooore than that. Hm. Why did I say it like--no, this is nothing. I am putting myself through so much stress. As I am sure many reading this know, it can be agonizing to sit in a lab by yourself for days on end. I work best alone, but it is sometimes an arduous and lonely job, one that leaves me constantly wishing for human contact and for someone to talk to.
Sure, I am well. Perfectly fine. My continued moonitoring of my vitals has proven to be fine, I am simply too frustrated to be able to think clearly. It is not the first time I have had psychosomatic symptoms in the wake of stress when I am so deep in my experimentation. However, if anything does come up, I will note it here.
Day 13
I may not have been entirely honest about the matter of self-reporting my situation. I have been silent on these, but today I begin my log with a confession. For a week now, I have felt more than simply tenderness in my breasts. Each morning, I awaken to find that they are bigger than they were when I went to bed. My bras no longer contain my breasts anymore, and my clothes struggle to handle them, even as elastic as they are. It has not stopped, and I am going up a cup size roughly every two days, with no sign of stopping. It is a frightening thought that I may no longer be able to contain them soon, and I am worried that somehow, this is related to the bovine hormones I accidentally injected myself with, for lack of anything else it could be.
Mooore over than that is, well, you can probably see it already. I've found myself mooing in words that contain an 'm o' in them. Mooore. Mooove. Hemoooglobin. In a call with a possible investor, I described the process by which this treatment may slow leukemia, but said 'leukemooogenesis' and was horribly embarrassed. It is not a verbal tic I find myself in any form of active control over, as much as I seek to keep myself under some sense of understanding and reason; it is simply becoming harder and harder for me to contain the frustrations and emotions that take hold of me.
In spite of all of these problems, I need to continue my work. It sounds ludicrous, I know, but it is of the utmost importance that I do not stop my research. So many lives could be saved if I can push further with these experiments, and so I am going to keep this log a secret for the time being. It is a danger to my research, but I cannot just stop recording it; talking helps me stay sane. So I will maintain this recording as a document of my activities, and to chart the progression of this condition, hoping that it is fundamentally reversible and a side-effect of a very extreme accidental dose, and not a danger to my work as a whole.
Day 15
Not only are my breasts growing at an expected rate, but I am noticing a tightness in my pants, now. My thighs are beginning to grow larger too, and I feel dull aches at my tailbone and in the sides of my head, feeling like they are at the bone level. I do not know for sure what they are, but mooore time is not doing me much good; I am now shifting the focus of my experiments toward trying to reverse these effects, as I fear that my changes are becoming more overt and dangerous by the second. It is to my absolute shame that I now seek to cure myself of this shameful ailment, and I am not sure that there is much hope of staying on track with my research as I sought to perform it.
The current assessment of my state: breasts are enlarging, thighs are thickening, verbal tics are emerging, and I am feeling worrisome pains in places that indicate other forms of growth soon to come. Anyone would be hard pressed to deny the ways in which these symptoms track with the traits of cows. Loathe as I am to admit it, the only way I can process this situation is to say that I am becoming a cow woman. It is a frightening prospect, made all the more worrisome by the fact that I am on my own in trying to solve it, unable to jeopardize my research by revealing this state to anybody else, and there is no medical literature on how to even cure such a situation as I'm in now. All I am able to do is hope that there is a swift solution here.
Day 18
Testing continues to prove fruitless as I approach simply trying to figure out what is happening to me. I cannot even find a way to replicate the effects of what happened with lab-grown cells, which show little response at all. I have only a faint few more tests I can run, and beyond that, I will be starting tomorrow on experimenting with my own cells to see if I can produce some manner of reaction. I'm running out of options, and that frightens me. My breasts are starting to hasten in their growth, I am worried that even my most flexible of clothing will no longer be able to handle it any longer. I can feel bumps where the aches in my head and my back remain, and I remain intimidated by the dangers of what will happen if I cannot reverse these issues before they begin.
Day 18, five hours later
Moore than challenging my clothing, my breasts are now producing milk. I did not realize it at first, but I felt an odd dampness through the day that I assumed to be sweat, until I disrobed, only to discover my breasts dripping with white. My nipples have become larger, puffier, and they drip with milk. I am lactating, growing even closer now to being a cow, to this transformation's dark side. I remain clueless as to how to control this and how to spare myself this continued embarrassment, and producing milk has not had a positive effect on my view of this situation or my outlook. As it stands, I am forced to isolate myself mooore and moore in a vain attempt to mitigate the worst of this, but I fear it will only get worse. My quest to halt these effects grows moore vital with each passing second I spend struggling with these dangers.
So I will go to sleep, and hope that in the moorning, my body has not further changed from what it was.
