Been without estradiol for 3 days.

[Mahsa Tezani]

Waiting for my clinic to fax walgreens a refill request.   
It's been 3 days or so. I've just been taking the spiro

How long til the changes reverse?

My breasts still feel tender, skin is soft, and fat around the face/chest remains.

[Rebekah with a K-A-H]

I felt like I had a month's worth of change lost when I missed spironolactone (not even estradiol!) for a week after FFS (when getting enough liquid was very difficult).  If you're still on spironolactone, though, I wouldn't worry too much.

Then my skin break out could be from the makeup... Still using MAC.

I considered tripling the spiro to compensate for the estradiol. But almost out of that.. I generally skip spiro when I need a lot of energy.

It's not at all the same thing. Don't kill yourself by messing with dosages.

Well I need my little blue pills..I don't want to go back to looking like a gay boy again and lose all the major changes of the last 6 months.

I don't know what dose level you are on, obviously, but if I tripled my Spiro most likely it would burn a hole through the lining of my stomach. Be careful, hey?

As long as you are still taking enough Spiro to suppress your T, you aren't going to get any reversion of changes. You'll just stop getting more changes until you are back on E and it has built up in your system again.

Skipping Spiro is actually more dangerous if you are worried about going back to looking like a boy. It's the testosterone that would cause that, not the lack of estrogen.

On [    ] of spiro and [    ] of estradiol. I have 9 spiro left... I don't know if I should drop the dosage or what. Damn Lyon Martin clinic.

tripling your dosage may well plunge your blood pressure level into the lethal area please remember its original function was to control high blood pressure and it was originally prescribed at at a much lower rate then trans girls take them dint play with this med besides if you've been on it 6 months it takes 5 days for estro to leave your system and then the reverses will be as slow as they came to begin with don't let your mind play tricks on you and rule the roost

My friend Dustin died from a sleeping pill overdose. So I know all too well.

Don't worry about being off Estradiol for a few days; i've been off mine for three weeks (with another three to go) ahead of surgery. I've not had any problems as i'm still on androcur. Leave your spiro at the prescribed dose and you'll be fine. The Spiro is suppressing your testosterone so all you're missing out on is a few days of feminising hormone which won't amount to much in the long run and increasing your spiro dose won't do anything for that but may cause other problems later.

Take care.

[Mahsa Tezani]

I got the estrogen again. Crisis averted.

kewl lady im glad it worked out and sooner then you expected
