I unfortunately live in a not very trans friendly state in the US (more like trans hostile tbh) so I’ve been doing my HRT pretty much solo/without seeing doctors. Been doing mono estradiol enanthate for about a year now following the manufacturer’s recommendations (0.15 mL every 7 days) and wanted to try getting on prog but i’m not sure what dosage i should be at. any recommendations?

    Dunno, I made My own progesterone in My adrenal gland and went by vibes. It was a big success, so I recommend doing the same to any transfemmes who don’t have access to lab grade options.

          You’re attempting to increase progesterone levels by purposely following a low/zero potassium diet? Are you not concerned about the by the cardiac impact of that diet?

            Oh, no, I used a meditative technique to stimulate production. The paper is just to show that it’s scientifically possible. I noticed I’d grown B cups about 5 months after My egg cracked, and by the time I started E they’d turned into D cups. I didn’t notice any side effects or health problems other than tenderness and growing pains, which are very normal. And My endocrinologist had a look at My blood and said it was all okay.

              Go on… :) I’m seeing yoga and stress management helping, but I’m curious about your meditative techniques if you don’t mind sharing.

                Visualise the top of your head as a dome that’s been split in two, left side from right side. Feel those two half-domes on top of your brain, sheltering it like your skull. See if you can grab onto them with your mind. Pull them down, rotating out and away from the center, until the top of your brain is uncovered, and you’re allowing what is above to come down to your brain.

                I was just exploring inside My head after I realised I was trans, wondering if it was possible to manually stimulate aromatisation of testosterone to estrogen. I felt this thingy, and I did what I said above, I pulled it down and out of the way, and I got a light, feminine feeling. So I left it like that and decided to see what happens. What happens is, boobs.
