First of all thank you Lotus and DiDi for your input and advice and thank you for the warm welcome! I couldn't be any happier receiving information like this from both the women I highly respect from this forum and who I have learned and been inspired from!
I will take and implement the recommendations on my end. Starting with dropping the following:
-Sunflower Lecthin
-Pygeum
-Shatavari
As of today I will not be taking these on my end. If anything I was feeling a bit weird when I took Shatavari sometimes, like I would get sleepy or tired, so I was contemplating letting this one go anyways.
As for the p4 200mg, I mean I didn't get any negative effects, but I just thought maybe it was a bit too much to put on my breasts. I can say however, that the fullness that I mentioned earlier was definitely when I was using the p4 200mg (split 100mg each breast), I actually just ended up switching to he Biovea 2 nights ago when I saw it sitting there on sink since I did end up ordering it without hesitation upon my initial journey here. I will continue doing 100mg per breast (200mg split) and if I do end up seeing any negatives on my end, I will lower it a bit. I will be sure to just skip the 200mg rectal since at that point I definitely will think its ALOT lmao. The DHT issue is definitely a concern for me though, but I will order a DHT lab once I been on the topical for a bit to see where I am at here and share my results. Also on the plus side, atleast I will be saving money just continuing with the p4 200mg since its part of my prescription and mostly covered. Also like DiDi mentioned, the Biovea definitely is expensive!! I will definitely continue rading up on the X-thread to receive more updates on your research here Lotus, thank you again!~
One thing I guess I can do is also drop Cypro and add Bica (both of these I ordered online myself and the only non-prescribed meds). I just added cypro recently and that was only because I temporarily switched to Estrogel laying around and felt I needed an AA with this. My official prescription through my doctor is actually monotherapy Injections, but what happened was that my EV pretty much ran out and recently there was new regulations introduced that specific compounding pharmacy's could not be delivered to the state I live in if it is from outside of state and my compounding pharmacy being in out of state, stopped sending it. Fortunately as of last week I was able to get a new prescription non-compounded of Delestrogen (3mo supply) and plan to go back on and drop estrogel/cypro moving forward. I was just told my doctor to just refill moving forward when it becomes available every 30days to be prepared and stock up incase something else changes in the future. I will just be using the drop of estrogel for the topical protocol now.
As for the IGT you mentioned, I do hope somehow mine eventually fill out, but I will take your advice and wait till my breasts mature a bit more before continuing to pump. After they have been developed more, I will take DiDi's advice here on the use of the noogleberry. So moving forward I will wait on the pump and just have them to the side and continue with the regimen I have till it's time to use them.
EDIT*
For the topical, I will try p4 (200mg, 100mg each breast or maybe 200mg each breast?) along with 30mg DHEA (15mg each breast). After a month from today, I will begin adding E2 to see how that goes after. I did want to double check if you if 200mg each breast would be okay or if 100mg is best to start off with? Thanks you!
I guess with these changes I am updating my regimen below:
HRT:
-EV Injection every 3.5d days at 2.4mg each (Every Monday morning/ Thursday Night) - Added back due to new script
-Prometrium 200mg rectal (14 day on- Restart at the begining of next month) (Pausing as using the capsule for Topical for now)
-Estrogel 1.5mg morning and 1.5mg night as of last month (Previously, EV Injection every 3.5 days @ 2.4mg each- this got me to 300-350 pg/ml at through- will plan to go back to EV after a month)(Droped Estrogel usage as I was using this for the time my EV ran out)
-Dutasteride 0.5mg every 3.5days (monday/thursday) - Decided to remove Duta
-Added Cyprotone Acetate at 12.5mg/day each morning as of Thursday. I plan reduce this after a couple weeks to about 12.5mg every 2-3 days.|(Dropped as I believed I needed an AA with the temporary Estrogel usage )
Topical Lotus Protocol (nightly-):
-Premetrium p4 200mg on breasts, split between both (so aprox 100mg each breast)
-Estrogel- small quick pump every other day. (on Pause as I am testing P4 only for the next 2 weeks)
-Dhea 50mg- I am doing like a 1/4-1/3 pump on each breast since I saw that 30mg is the norm. (EDIT: Will do P4 + DHEA to start with and add E2 in a month)
-Bi-Est 2.5MG- Every other day that isn't estrogel(Will just stick with E2 Estrogel)
Supplments:

Thank you Lotus and DiDi again for the advice, input and information shared to me here! Also for stepping in on the uncalled for comments by Connie. Really appreciate you both and looking forward to continuing my journey here!!
