My doc has suggested i switch from Progynova to Lynoral.
The last four months have been really dramatic for me.
After loosing most of the mass what i had gained, my boobs, the fuller face/cheeks, my butt from rounder to flat and lately my hips/thighs on progynova i am finally done with it.
Is there anyone here who is on lynoral ?

There is absolutely no reason to take Lynoral (Ethinyl Estradiol) which is an estrogen several times more potent than bio-identical estradiol (Progynova, Estrofem, Estrace, etc.) in terms of health risks (deep vein thrombosis). Both are just as effective for feminization/well-being while bio-identical estradiol is much safer. I'm sorry to say but your doctor is harming you more than helping you. Find another doctor who will prescribe you only bio-identical estradiol, available in pills, patches, gels, injectables, pellets. This will trigger feminization while keeping you safe/healthy. Depending on how much estradiol you are taking and levels, you should take an anti-androgen to suppress testosterone.
I am not a medical doctor, nor a scientist - opinions expressed by me on the subject of HRT are merely based on my own review of some of the scientific literature over the last decade or so, on anecdotal evidence from women in various discussion forums that I have come across, and my personal experience

On HRT since early 2004
Post-op since late 2005
