Its been awhile, so here is an update. I have now been on E since early March, or almost seven months. If you have not been reading along, I was on high doses of PM for three plus years prior to that.
I currently take 6-8 mgs of E daily (orally) plus 100 mgs of Prometrium (progesterone) orally daily one week on and one week off. Since I am not on any AA (my T consistently tests in minute ranges without (2.5 total, less than 0.1 free) I continue to add 1500 to 200 mgs of PM daily/
I cycle the progesterone in the way I do not because I believe bio males need to cycle (I don't) but because my subjective reaction and observation is that while it does tend to slightly puff up the breasts, it has the downside of somehow increasing the speed at which my small amount of body hair and my beard grow. I have no idea why this would be the case, nor do I really care...lol. I merely have noted the affect and prefer to negate it. My endo felt no need to prescribe the P anyway and only did so at my request.
I don't see any new growth, but, what the hey, that's why we post these, right?
On a personal note, I was out last weekend, over in Grand Rapids, for dinner and then dancing with a group of friends. Eight of us dined in a mainstream restaurant among a large friday night gathering of vanilla diners. No problems at all, and in fact several engaged in conversation and were very nice and cordial and friendly. Later we all went dancing at The Bob, a mainstream singles bar in Grand Rapids. The place is huge, with five floors, a dance floor with a live band, a piano bar, a comedy club, several bars and space for receptions. On the night we were there the place was jammed with regular singles, aged 20 to 30 and older, plus guests from a wedding reception. It was awesome. No pointing or laughing or untoward comments. Nothing but automatic acceptance. On the dance floor quite a few GG's danced with us quite happily (I think they actually liked dancing with us better than with most of the guys that were there...lol) and everyone had a great time.
Looking forward to a relaxing weekend at The Dunes, a resort near the beach on the West side of Michigan. They host a TG weekend twice a year. I am going over on Friday for the weekend with some other girls and planning to have a great time. My understanding is that Clara will also be there so that will be simply awesome! All in all there should be a lot of girls there, from Michigan, Illinois, Indiana and elsewhere. Really looking forward to Saturday since Saugatuck and Douglas (it's sister town across the river) are reputed to have many artists and a plethora of small shops and boutiques. But also looking forward to walking on the beach. Weather is expected to be gray and cooler but that suits me fine and I am really looking forward to the day.
And that's the news for now.
