After your bottom surgery, did your estrogen delivery method and dosage change?

Went from a shot to a patch?

Switched to an estradiol cream?


Has your dosage changed?








Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

No, no change.  I did, of course, stop cyproterone (anti-androgen).

The method did not change, patches. However in the past year the dosage has been cut in half. My endocrinologist says CIS women my age (71) have very low estrogen levels. So I should not. With my family history of storks, the high estrogen levels just increases my risk of stokes.

Makes good sense to play it safe.
