the reference number for a man? is it in normal range for a woman? thatd be great for hair

Its above the reference range of man, and close to the maximum range of a female.

@bridgeburn Have you noticed any issues with memory or concentration?

CPA is usually associated with those as side effects due to it's interaction with T and the HPA axis

Apparently on HRT the volume of the brain can decrease to a cis women level. http://www.eje-online.org/content/155/suppl_1/S107.abstractd

"Results: Compared with controls, anti-androgen + estrogen treatment decreased brain volumes of male-to-female subjects towards female proportions, while androgen treatment in female-to-male subjects increased total brain and hypothalamus volumes towards male proportions."

I haven't found much on this topic though, the NHS doesn't list it as a side so Im not sure how true this is.

yes I've heard of this, that's really crazy what we are going through It probably gets smaller cause male brains are filled with sexual and perverted thoughts, lol.

 

[bridgeburn]

Maybe the brain mass we lose goes to our tits instead so I'm not complaining lol

Lol, If that's true then Ive lost quite alot of my brain then

 

[bridgeburn]

Apparently the decreased volume doesn't not imply less intelligence but its still crazy to think HRT can actually effect the brain like that.

Of course, Its just smaller and more efficient lol. Just like cellphones and computers became smaller after getting more evolved

I always wondered if the emotional changes HRT brings is due to actual changes to chemical pathways, neurons, etc or just a placebo but the longer Im on HRT the more I think it actually dies change the brain in a significant way.

It probably removes all the male ego bullshit which was burying the emotions before

 

[bridgeburn]

Pretty sure a lot of guys would like the effects of HRT if theyd remove their male ego. Maybe Im completely wrong tho and its just us two are just weird

I can't imagine anyone actually not liking it. does that even happen? lol

 

[bridgeburn]

I saw a post where a guy said nizoral made him lose his libido so yeah Im pretty sure not everyone will like being on 50mg cypro and 5mg Estradiol lol

Hahahahhaa, I was just looking at the same post

 

[IdealForehead]

You guys are f*****g brave and bold.

How big are your tits for real at this stage?

Bridgeburn do you ever think abour switching to a strong topical regimen to try to minimize systemic side effects?

Nothing's more guaranteed than a strong oral regimen. So I get the appeal. Topical is always slightly riskier but with good agents and large volume twice daily application topical may still get the job done.

I don't mean to trash talk the tranny approach. I would absolutely do the same if I am ever given the choice between the only options of tranny regimen or baldness.

I havent measured them and I can still hide them with the right clothes, but they basically look like a small pair of boobs

Bridgeburn do you ever think abour switching to a strong topical regimen to try to minimize systemic side effects?

Never!! Testosterone betrayed me I'll never let it come back. Ill destroy all androgens and gain God like hair!!! side efffects are sign that its working!

Nothing's more guaranteed than a strong oral regimen.

its not strictly oral. I take my estrofem tablet buccally, and use estrogel topically, not only on my head though

Are you trans or are you going to get surgery for that at some point ?

 

[bridgeburn]

Are you trans or are you going to get surgery for that at some point ?

Im a bit afraid of surgery and anesthesia, I feel like I might go to sleep and not wake up. and Im fine with small boobs as long as I can hide them, Ill move up north if I have to, where it's cold and normal to wear a jacket

 

[sunchyme1]

Lol wtf

 

[sunchyme1]

You are one crazy motherfucker bb

 

[Jesse Navarro]

For now, I just have lumps behind my nipples, but no results on the hair.

 

[Kev123]

Dht, Iron, Vit D, Prolactin, Thyroid hormone,

good, f*** testosterone lol

Are you trying to turn into a female?

Serious question, not trolling or insulting.

 

[Jesse Navarro]

What regime are you on?

50mg cyproterone, 2,25 oestrogel, 2mg estradiol pill and 0,5mg dutasteride

 

[Kev123]

Why would anyone want to have testosterone? It makes you bald, stink, gives you ugly body hair etc etc. I don't know why people don't want to completely get rid of their testosterone, it gives nothing good, being a girl is a million times better, just look at their NW0 hairlines

I know you're being sarcastic but if the problem was test, then why won't all men go bald? There's middle-aged and old men with full heads of hair, so test never hurt their hair follicles.

 

[Jesse Navarro]

And you're still shedding and got no regrowth at all? What type of estradiol pill are you taking and what route of administration are you using?

No regrowth but no shedding either, but i've never shedded too much. I'm taking natifa (estradiol 1mg) two pills ED. I swallow the pills. I'm on this regimen for 2 months.
