It's hard to dissect out just what is caused by estradiol and dose would be a huge factor that should be mentioned. I've never taken just one thing so rather than spell out exactly what I did and am doing, I'll give you my very subjective opinion on what it has done for me. @ 2mg sublingually, once daily... very little. I think I've gotten more results by bumping my PM up another 500mg daily than what I have from estradiol. Will I quit taking it then? No. It will remain a PART of my regime at least for the foreseeable future. For those who don't know, 2mg daily is a very low dose - most MtF transgender's under the supervision of a doctor are taking 4-8mg (if I'm not mistaken). Bottom line... I like the herbal / pharma combination for now.

Kari, you and I seem to be the two mixed program rebels here, using both herbs an E. I am currently on 3 or 4 mgs a day of E plus between 1000 and 2000 mgs daily of PM. Plus some left over licorice. When that runs out I will just stop as I did with Peony. I do also use PC roughly 5 times a week.
If I were to add anything it would be Microgest instead of the OTC PC I now use. I may go to that
Appointment to see my endo again in a week or so. Curious about the T levels and if they are slowly climbing since I am currently not using any AA

PS - Bobie...I think I LOVE your family! Lol
