Whats your HRT poison?

[BellaBellucci]

I have never thought about that way, cool theory though I think in general E has a caliming effect on those with a low T. Sadly those that started with high T to begin with (like me) it, becomes nicarguan death squad fighting over turf inside your skull. I would advise anyone starting MTF HRT to get your T down first and foremost. That was a big mistake on my part

Agreed. 'Calming' is definitely the word I'd use. For as much of a rabble-rouser as I am (RABBLE, RABBLE!), I was a truly angry mess before transition, not the ironic 'angry' I am now.

4mg of estrogen daily, definitely had a calming effect on me pretty quickly, spntaneous erections stopped within a couple of weeks and after a couple of months stopped altogether and things down below are certainly smaller. Skin is softer and now I have about an a cup.

So I went to the Dr yesterday and I was taken off my estrogen Injections and put on Junel 1/20 Birth Control??? WTF? I was told my blood panel came back a little too high, and I have to take a 21 day dose of this crap take another blood panel and see if I 'qualify' to go back on injections.
Uggg I hate Doctors!

Premarin. 0.625mg daily. Pills. Sublingually. Too early to tell if the (minimal) effects I observe so far are due to medication or just my head playing tricks on me due to the anticipation. (month and a half as of this post.)

I have been on HRT for almost 10 /12 months without issue. I take a blood panel thats shows an slightly elevated Estrogen reading imo it was not high enough to garner taking me of my normal HRT regimen.
That is the problem with following WAPTH SOC, too much over regulation and not enough drs to understand what is needed. I have already changed my primary care physician twice in the last year :/

It helps to go outside the system at first. When I started hormones, I paid cash out of pocket to see a doctor of my choosing who prescribed me the same 12mg/estradiol that I use today (since 2006). When I got medical insurance, I was already on hormones so they couldn't really take me off of them. I have been educating my doctors ever since and they give me whatever I feel comfortable taking as long as my blood tests normal.
