To get the 800lb elephant out the room, yes I used those herbs too, the more research I did it all led me back to Aromatase. Clara, and this is in no way a critique (honestly), why did you (and or others) want to add synthetics?, or to use them with NBE?

Is it because of not being satisfied with one's goals right?. just curious!

Question-what's the percentage of bio-males starting on NBE and moving to synthetics?

Well, I have mentioned my reasons a couple of times, but it's easy to miss. I have an appointment to see a transgender specialist (physician) at the Howard Brown Center in Chicago to continue with my transition under medical supervision. I decided to switch to pharma because I know that I will be prescribed synthetics from here on out. I want my first baseline blood panel to accurately reflect my existing T and E levels so that the doc can properly select the dosages of estrogen and anti-androgens that I need to achieve my goals. I have yet to hear of a physician that knows beans about herbs, and miroestrol (PM) does not show up as estrogen on the blood panel. I feel that the doctor cannot do right by me if I'm second guessing him by using herbs at the same time. My decision has nothing to do with dissatisfaction with herbs. Herbs have done fantastically well for me.

I don't know the answer to your last question. Sammie, Eva, Sarah, and AbiDrew come immediately to mind.
