There's probably some kind of T/DHT/E ratios that could show it

My E is pretty high when comparing to my T. T is barebone low and E2 skyhigh, in terms of normal ranges. It is clearly visible when you look at me #femboy. Soon #temboy.

That's a really good sign for you then. Bica should do the job

aromatase is an enzyme encoded by the CYP19A1 gene, enzymes can be increased and decreased, high prolactin will decrease the levels of aromatase enzymes in your body.

Gyno surgery is highly recommended before boobs grow too big if you don’t want to have post-surgery scars.

Yes, that's what I talked about earlier. I will remove the minor gynecomastia that I get on Bicalutamide monotherapy. After that I will be able to do whatever I want and not be afraid of breast growth.

I’ve seen many threads on female pattern hairloss websites where women used 50mg Bicalutamide and got all their hair back. So as long as you have E2 you’re good.

I wonder if 2 clicks of Estrogel, i.e. 1.5mg E, are enough for a significant result. This is a small dose

Don't females have high prolactin during pregnancy though, which is a time of primo hair growth for XX's.

 

[Itsnoahkennedy]

Yeah prolactin causes the breasts to swell and produce milk. But prolactins effect on aromatase doesn’t matter for hair follicles it only matters for conversion of T to E through aromatase. E and lack of T is what’s important for hair, not aromatase itself.

 

[Almas]

In that case the medication would still work as long as you’re suppressing T production with E2. The goal with Bicalutamide is to keep T from binding to receptors so as long as there’s more Bicalutamide than Testosterone in your body then you’re good

By the way, did the sebum secretion stop completely, or was it on your regimen? On monotherapy with Bicalutamide, the oiliness of the skin decreased 3 times, but it still cannot be called dry. She's still oily, but not that much

Sebum production stopped for me 99.9%.

Depending on scalp absorption, maybe but if cost is an issue, then testicular application will raise blood serum levels several times more than scalp application. You probably will need more than that unless you are only using it on the hairline. I use it on the entire canopy area and I used to use it in the crown but that has pretty much all filled in.

I will apply to the wrists. I don't think it makes sense to apply to the scalp

Underarms are another good place for absorption. @bridgeburn used Estrogel on his scalp and there might be good reasons to do so in terms of thwarting synthesis of DHT by the scalp and beard follicles.

It’s best to apply estrogel to areas of the body that have more fat cells under the skin like thighs, butt etc. it absorbs better in those areas

The face is masculine again, looks like it is fully reversed.
Very nice.
Would be nice to see before and after surgery.

Or on my breasts, I already have from puberty, yolo.

Because Breast Cancer

Yeah but plenty of gals believe that direct application to the breasts (and ***) induces extraordinary breast growth in terms of being far beyond that ordinarily encountered by MtF's. This is a classic bug versus feature dichotomy. I believe the reason for the warning has to do more so with cis-women who use the product than for XY's who are unlikely to be at significant risk of breast cancer. No risk, no reward said she....

yeah you’re right, its lower than than the average female breast cancer percentile, yet higher than the average male breast cancer percentile. However you still shouldn’t apply it there because it does increase the risk of cancer in the breast, that area is really sensitive to estrogen. You can do what you please i just wanted to make the reason known to everyone reading.

No, that's legitimate. We also should take note of the very, very low rates of prostate cancer in transgender females so the trade-off in terms of lifespan is definitely in favor of XY's receiving HRT. I also think that we are going to harness the power of estradiol in general to regenerate tissue as well as hair. I can't point to a single negative since I stopped spironolactone.

I also note that I tend to apply Estrogel to the scalp at least three times daily just in terms of revealing my protocol.

 

[Itsnoahkennedy]

Low risk of prostate cancer and other male related cancers, heart disease, and softening of the arteries and blood vessels, reversal of baldness and being an anti acne regimen and adding 10 years or more to your life than the average life span of a male are definitely some good pros of being on estradiol haha
