Hello, Sanesan,
i'd guess it varies greatly based on your final goals.
You say you're interested in CDing, not transition.
My guess, then, is you should focus on diet and exercise to retain a femme shape. Lots of yoga, lots of stretching, lots of jogging and some strength training. (Strength training to ensure muscle isn't lost; jogging, stretching, yoga, to ensure you don't get male and bulky muscle.)
Maybe do actual development in the "male" problem areas (for this presentation), hips and butt muscles (Outer edges of the quads, to make the legs feminine; gluteus medius and gluteus maximus, to round and enhance the butt.) And lots of ab work, too, especially vacuums.
This means you'd use hormonal techniques only to ensure hair stays where you want it (head).
T-Nation has this:

Second article has this in it, which is essential for all of us not using antiandrogens:
Excess Estrogen Levels The relationship shared by testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone is complex, to say the least. It's even been hypothesized that estrogen is the "trigger" factor that may begin the hair loss cascade, as elevated levels result in increased DHT production in an effort to counteract estrogen. Progesterone, on the other hand, is suppressive of both estrogen and DHT, and is reduced under periods of high stress and from aging.

Worth reviewing, definitely, though you might want to be careful how you proceed.
I'm thinking I should apply some estrogen (PM cream) to my scalp to try and preserve what's left of my hair... And Dutasteride, already used finasteride and it didn't work enough.... ;-)
