Title: So Much Info Out There
Post by: Wynternight on August 04, 2014, 01:14:19 AM
It's actually kind of overwhelming but the general consensus seems to be AA (Spiro), Estrogen (Injectable or Sublingual) and Progesterone? Is this correct?

Pretty much, although some endos do not see any benefit in progesterone,  which is interesting as many on Susans have found it to be extremely beneficial.

I swear by Progesterone and so does my Endo. It is amazing for breast growth.  :)

Or pellets...
There really isn't that much to it as far as the drugs are concerned.  Getting the dosages right... Now that's another story altogether.  Safety being more important than rate of feminisation.  :)

Hormones are such a balancing act. The pellet idea sounds good but I think you want to be sure about the right dosages first.


I could be off though.

I started on oral E then shifted to pellet.  It really boils down to the endo and how much fiddling around is anticipated.
