You definitely won't eat more. It will be a situation where you don't feel as hungry compared to before, as if your appetite has 'feminised' as women generally don't have such significant appetites compared to men. Although, you should hold onto your current weight since estrogen can lead to weight gain. It would be risky to eat more, in all honesty; I am cutting down on my foods and switching to healthier foods to avoid weight gain.

i tried to gain weight before, (i tend to eat once a day cause my appetite is messed up) and i forced my self to eat 5000+ calories a day in an attempt to put weight on cause i dont like being boney, so i was hoping estrogen would make me gain some weight. i eat pretty healthy, stick to water, greens, fruit(without potassium) and meat (fish and chicken), you can blend greens like spinach leaves and fruits together and make juice. youll feel good and wont gain any weight.
Your metabolism won't be so high on estrogen, which means you will become more susceptible to weight gain. In your case, that's a good situation and you should eat as much as you like until you reach a desired weight.
My diet consists of smaller meats nowadays, but meals which pack a punch. Although, I can't get enough of dairy which is probably bad!

lol i used to eat a ton of dairy too, when i turned 17 i became lactose intolerant so i had to give it up for good, now i just stick to the healthy lifestyle cause i kinda had no choice xD, but for me dairy = body acne so its a good thing i cant eat it.
You will probably be able to eat dairy whilst you are on spironolactone and estrogen. It's likely that your skin will clear drastically, and acne will become rare. Although, you definitely need to avoid dairy if you are lactose intolerant!
Prior to medications, I wasn't allowed to eat sugar and dairy or I would break out in a lot of acne. It was a horror!

Oestrogel 80G pack, 80 grams sounds like a lot, is that going to last along time ?

Just got my dexa today. Wondering if I should add it in with my minoxidil or put it straight onto my head. Will use it 3 x a week. I’m going to apply it to my lashes and brows too since those are also affected by my hormonal issues. If the theory that dexa improves aromatisation of estrogen is true, my facial hair should grow better also.

Be happy it's worked so well for you - it doesn't for everyone. Your hair might just be going through a cycle of shed and regrowth. I read from one source after a shed the hair is dormant for 3 months before it gets turned onto growth again. From my experience my hair looks best from July - Dec. Lets see if that's the case again this year after I cranked up the meds and have gone through a shed Jan - April.did anyone use dexamethason orally?

If you have the dexa eye drops like I do, then it's in a water base. I don't think you'll get scalp penetration without mixing it with another carrier unless you microneedle prior to application.

How do you apply the gel to your scalp?...unless you have little or no hair. When I tried this it was pretty messy and the gel got all over my hair.

Mate I’m in a similar boat. I have been seeing a girl since January. And is one of the reasons why I had to drop spironolactone. My gyno was so bad too. Luckily she is a lawyer in London so we only see each other every other weekend so she never actually saw my gyno at it’s worse. If gyno was not a side affect I’d stay on it 100%.
