Hi Randi

Cramps while on PM are common (it happens to me all the time while on PM) and the reason for them is the lower testosterone in your body. To put it bluntly, you are weaker when taking PM. It's the same effect that takes away erections and that makes you less snappy. They probably are not caused by blood cloths, which will hurt a lot more than a cramp.
What I noticed is that PM acts better when all the side effects have come into play. The cramps, lack of sex drive etc... are all signs that your body is functioning in a more feminine way, and that the effects of estrogen in your body are maximised. My bad advice is: if you can pull through, pull through. Once your body adapts to the lower T and higher E, the feminization process will likely speed up and be even more effective.

Great picture, by the way. Your breasts look amazing, particularly for just 6 months!

I read cramping may be a side effect even on HRT. Therefore, it’s not much of a surprise that PM would have similar symptoms. I’m not so concerned with clots, the symptoms are significantly different. But I was curious if others have had similar experiences and what they did to prevent it or at least minimize it. I’m thinking of lowering the dose over the next few weeks to see if that changes anything. I never thought lower testosterone levels may have some negative impacts. My blood results did confirm a decline in T levels. My body is definitely changing in a more feminine way. Legs are noticeably smaller and my butt has gained some fat. The weight gain was a surprise considering my activity level, but it’s still manageable. 

Thank you. My boobs are starting to fill nicely into an A cup. Though a push-up bra makes them appear as they’re bigger   I really love these fem changes.
