Well my visit at my endo ended the way I expected. It has to be said that he also the leading reproductive health physician in this area. He did his homework on the paper. He said, and showed me that the paper is pretty flawed, and important information has been omitted from the citations. He said, he has the feeling the author was on a mission for some reason.
He told me that teenage girls are well into their ovulation time (about 2 years after they stat to ovulate) until their body produces progesterone. He is of the opinion that the breast tissue of the trans woman is pretty different of that of a cis woman, which would make progesterone relatively worthless for trans women. And that this is also the reason that the WPATH recommends in their standard of care not to give progesterone earlier than at least 2 years of starting on estrogen. He told me we can talk about this in about 1 1/2 year from now. Any earlier would just be a waste of money and creating false hope. He is also of the opinion that, because of our difference in breast tissue, as compared to cis women, mammograms are a waste of money. He has ye to hear a report that a transgender woman developed breast cancer, and he is treating transgender people since 36 years.
On the positive side, he is happy with my estrogen level, which is, according to him, that of a female on her 10 day of the ovulation period, and he gave me a new script for E for the next 9 months.
He said that we never ever have o measure my T again, because it is currently the highest it ever will be!
Linde, the for ever ovulating transgender woman fueled solely by estrogen!
