Prometrium - so far so good

These are the changes that one would expect from adding progesterone.

Quick little update, so I'm going into my 3rd cycle for this month and I noticed a definite change in my breast consistency. It seems like my breast got fuller and a bit heavier compared to what it was pre-progesterone.

I wish I could post my pic here. However, the significant change that I noticed was with the upper part of the breast which accumulated some fat and made the slope a lot more breast like than before. I'm also happy to say that rear rounded out more and it's a bit of struggle wearing my skinny jeans lately lol Anyways, I am currently a 34 B/36 A girl and I cannot wait to report more changes in the next few weeks.

Hope y'all are having a great weekend. Be blessed xo

Yes I notice the same thing, especially with jeans now. It's a struggle lol.

So I am officially off on Spironolactone and switching to Cyproterone Acetate which could lead to dropping prometrium all together. So we shall see xo

[KayXo]

Prometrium and cyproterone acetate are both progestogens BUT their potencies differ, so are their effects on the body. You may still benefit from bio-identical progesterone in other ways (mental benefit, sebum production, anti-diuretic, etc.). The progestogens can also increase the total progestogenic effect which may or may not be good.

Beware with cyproterone...it may cause depression/anxiety, lethargy, completely kill libido. It may cause prolactin to surge too much, leading to prolactinoma, a benign pituitary tumor. It can increase weight around belly and overall weight. It can also affect clotting and insulin sensitivity. Some complain from hot flashes which means that low T due to cyproterone is not compensated enough by E. I assume your doctor knows all this but just in case...

LOL. Here we go again...you can ask her why they don't prescribe it. Then we can go from there. I have a whole document on progesterone that you can show your doctor, with studies, benefits and "risks", etc. Please PM me.

Hi;
My doctor has just added Prometrium to my HRT medication  (so now I am on E and P only) Oestrogen at 10am and Oestrogen and Prometrium at night time 10pm. I am just coming to the end of my first month on Promethium . My doctor & Pharmacist proposed that I should have it for 3 months continuously then move to a 20/10 day cycle to mimc the cis female hormonally cycle. I did query this but I was told by my pharmacist that the aim is to get the progesterone built up in one's system and get the body used to accepting it and also the combination of E&P will have an overall effect of dramatically lowering amy residual Testosterone and getting ones  body to expect only female hormones on a regular basis.

Since commencing the Prometrium, I have noticed that my breasts have got fuller and a bit heavier compared to what it was pre-progesterone with upper part (pole) of each breast more rounded and gives the appearance that it has accumulated some fat and made the slope a lot more breast like in appearance rather than the pointed traffic cones I had before better than before. Also may areolae seem to have got more pinky and wider than they were at the beginning of the month (more noticeable as women's nipples). My nipples themselves have been very permanently erect since starting on my double dosage of Oestrogen a year ago. I have also noticed that my buttocks have rounded out more and it's a bit of struggle wearing my skinny jeans and women short shorts. But I am starting to notice more of a waist appearing, but I have also added lower belly fat, but interestingly I haven't gained weight. Also I am sleeping very soundly each night and somehow my skin feels incredibly super soft especially my face, buttocks, breasts and thighs.

I am looking forward to see what my results will be by the end of my first three months on the combined dosages.
