Very interesting, Annie. Thanks for the update. Does your wife know that you are taking PM? Is that not of equal concern to her as would be the case taking E2?

Yes, she does know, but as yet she is still tackling broader aspects of my GI, and has not really given it her attention although she tells me she has done some internet searching. In fact I asked if she would like to try it since it could be beneficial for her too, but her immediate reaction was no. I am fairly sure that her attitude to my taking prescription E2 is that she would see my asking for such a prescription as signifying a possible entry or attempt at entry into the standard protocol for all-or-nothing transition conventional in the medical establishment (which neither of us wants, although as yet I'm not certain how far she is persuaded on an emotional level of my position). It is possible that E2 obtained without a prescription might not produce the same reaction. I have told her that I did take the small quantity of E2 that she threw out some time ago after discontinuing HRT herself.

There are still areas in which she is still in 'don't want to know' mode. I inadvertently gave her a printout with the URL of this board on it, but while she let me know that she had it, to the best of my knowledge she hasn't been here.

Annie, I must say. I'm not sure I am brave enough to give my wife any links to sites i have posted. There are still some things best left unsaid.
