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.
