I was considering giving progesterone acetate a try since it's a potent anti-androgen but was a bit shocked when I read that it's used to castrate pedophiles so I left it at that .

I'm on cyproterone acetate (100mg). My endo prescribed as she sees it as the most effective anti-androgen. Like most endos, she doesn't see progesterone as necessary. No morning wood and some loss of erectile function if that is important to you. For treating sexual deviancy issues, I believe they use 300mg doses.
You can also use estrogen patches instead of pills. According to my endo, you are less likely to have clots and other side effects associated with pills.

PS. oh, and also any of the 17 beta estradiol treatments like pills or patches can be monitored and you can measure the levels. PM does not show up in blood tests.
