Title: hormone levels, breast growth, and prescription strength
Post by: Jane's Sweet Refrain on May 18, 2013, 10:14:04 AM
Hi, I'm nine months into hrt and have experienced profound physical changes but modest breast growth. My estradiol levels came back at 132 last week, which I know is a good adult female range. I guess my question is whether raising it up to adolescent levels might promote additional breast growth. (My serum testosterone was 16 and my free was .02, I should add)

My primary care physician expressed openness to the idea of raising my dosage of estrogen, but has not yet gotta back with an answer to the query I put to the nurse who phoned me with the score. Should I push if the answer comes back "no"?

I don't mind being patient if modest development ends up being my reality, but, like most of us, I want the girls to be their best :)
