I Have Lost The Glow..

[Lara]

I will complete 18 months on progynova.
I had earlier complained about the loss of mass what i had gained after starting HRT. Also loosing my hips my breast size etc etc.
Since then things have been the same.. ie no further loss.
But the one drastic change what i have noticed is my skin tone. I had become a bit fairer, there was a particular glow on my skin or like my pharmacist described "there was this sensitive feminine look to my face." That sensitive femininity/glow has gone and my skin has become more darker than it was pre transitioning.

Do you happen to know your values of levels of estrogen and testosterone ?

You might talk with your endo about increasing estrogen.

The glow you talk about also have pregnant women ...
with a bit higher levels of estro ...

Perhaps, you should go see your doctor, share your concerns with them and ask for HRT adjustment, if need be. When did changes start to reverse? Did anything else happen at the same time? Changes in HRT? Increased stress levels? Changes in life? Different eating habits?

In addition to Progynova, are you taking anything else?
