I have been using Red Clover and Hops along with Yucca for the last five or six years and have had great results. That's all the herbals I'm using except that I added Maca to enhance my tush today. But a little about me. I am a TS and have had actual hormone replacement therapy around 2003-2004 time frame. I had estrogen injections for 2 1/2 years, but then quit due to non availability of doctors in my area or access to prescriptions to continue the hrt. I panicked and considered getting back into NHRT and found this sight. I trolled around and learned what herbals to take which I have named. However I read somewhere the other day on this forum that Red Clover actually has a double edge sword effect on NHRT due to the fact that it has progesterone properties as well which can be limiting my feminization. This seems to be true since my 25 pound weight loss that I can now see all my muscles everywhere and they seem to look a little masculine. I am not used to that and it has become an insecurity which I haven't felt in years. I have gained a little body fat back intentionally to get a few curves back and feel more comfortable. I want to know if I should discontinue the RC and keep with my hops and Yucca along with the Maca. I tried saw palmetto a few times and it made me feel well, not right which is the best I can describe.
