There is peer reviewed medical evidence that estrogen and spiro have a beneficial effect for trans women.. The jury is still out on whether progesterone is of any benefit - and this may be part of the problem.

It is. Also, progesterone is primarily a pregnancy hormone. That said, I'd still like to try it and see if it has any benefit for secondary sexual characteristics. It is supposed to also help with sexual desire.

My endoc said he would talk with me about progesterone in my September appointment.

I am definitely interested. No issues with paying full price at all. Some things are worth paying for.

I have played the game, accepting the need to be pathologized to get approved, and so on - so why stop playing the game now?
