Susan's Place Transgender Resources

Hello everyone
This is what happened: last June I have been prescribed estradiol valerate (porgynova) and started hrt. For the first 3 months (84 days) I have been taking porgynova and when I went to get another pack of hormones I have been given elleste solo at the pharmacy. I didn't think anything of it and started taking elleste solo and then doubled it(I did not realise that it wasn't the same as prescribed from my GIC). The problem was that I did not take elleste solo at the same  time of the day for months. The feminisation of the body was not as intense in comparison to other trans girls I have followed yet mentally I was feeling happier and at times depressed. 3 weeks ago I went back onto  porgynova from elleste solo. 1 week ago I have had my first injection of 3 month decapeptyl with 14 day supply of cyprocerone acetate.  :embarrassed:

If I will continue on porgynova(as per dr Leighton j seal guide) will the end result of hormones be effected by taking elleste solo in between ?  :embarrassed:

According to the medical information I dug up, both medications should be similar in dosage and feminizing power. The catch is that sometimes one drug may work better for a person that another and estradiol valerate is supposed to be retain by the body longer. It shouldn't make any difference that you switched between the drugs other than you might have experienced a little different development between the two drugs.
