After just over a year on patches ( 2.5mg ) i felt "better" but still not there.
3 weeks on injections, dropped the spiro and fin, and a feel fantastic. Much more energy, and the noise has died right down.
For want of a better expression, i feel normal.
Needless to say, on injections my nipples are on fire, and i am getting tenderness and growth again.

Here is my latest bloodwork results. Note, T is being suppressed by estrogen, no AAs are being used.
I take my injections every tuesday, this is taken just before my injection is due, so its my low point.

I was able to persuade my new Dr to give me a script for progesterone ( yay ), unfortunately it ended up being synthetic progesterone, and not bio identical. So, i will use this script up snd when i see him again in October, i shall be taking him in paperwork about the advantages of bio identical against synthetic.
50mg a day, but its covered by my insurance.
Its classed as a birth control pill, so my pharmacist was scratching her head a little, explaining the side effects as per a sis female getting birth control pills.

I did get my Dr to change my progesterone. I am now on bio identical micronised progesterone, 200mg daily. I will give it a few weeks and then post some updated pictures. My chest feels like its on fire again

I can relate Janet, I had not felt any "budding" for about a month or more. Then my GD put me on low dose Progesterone and HOLY COW!! 4 days later, I felt on fire.
