Susan's Place Transgender Resources

My endrocrinlgist prescribed me Gravibinan injection which is Estradiol Valerate +
Hydroxyprogesterone Caproate.He said it is for pregnant women used for prophylaxis of abortion.Its mostly used by transgender here since there are no other injection available here...Anyone has experience with this inj?

It's been used in women, old and young, in Germany, to treat osteopenia and poor breast development. Side-effects were minimal, women responded positively and some were "eager to continue". To treat the risk of miscarriage, only certain progestogens are prescribed as this helps maintain pregnancy. In my personal opinion, it's a good treatment but estradiol  needs to be high enough to compensate for the mild anti-estrogenic effects of progestogens.

I am on a high dose of EV taken IM and oral progesterone. My health is good, I feel pretty good but breast growth is poor.

I think too the progestogen level are high for start.before this i was on progynova pills but couldn't bear side effects so i quit it

I didn't tolerate pills either.

Hi Sid, I do not think that Gravibinan injection would be a good choice for hrt. I looked for the formula of the injection and in my country there is an injection wich is used for the same purpose, but it contains more estradiol benzoate in this case but the same dose of hidroxyprogesterone caproate, it has too much progesterone in comparison to estrogen, so when I used this injection, I felt some androgenic effects and no any other positive progress in my hrt. Actually I am on progynova pills and I feel more stable and healthy. Best wishes!!!

Fefi i agree with you. I might get this injection but that would be harmful in long term use.unfortunately the effects are worse for me in terms of pills
