It just says estradiol and it’s 2 mg taken twice a day.

The doctor didn’t seem to be concerned about that. Plus that’s what they used to do prior to T blockers; I believe the method was called estradiol monotherapy.
But I can look into it more to see what the risks are.

That’s a smart idea. They checked it when I was there and it was around 114/82. I also have BP measurements from previous visits as I’d message them to my mom.

I’m also only taking E since I want to keep my T for now. So this will help see how E specifically affects my BP.

Ye, it’s pretty darn cheap. If people are interested, it’s Mark Cuban’s Cost Plus Pharmacy. I use them for my finasteride, too, and their three month supply of that is even cheaper. But only by a little bit.
If your insurance is dogshit like mine then this is a very nice alternative. I have no idea how I’d afford this otherwise.

Thanks! It should be arriving early next week. I still feel nervous about it, but I know this will be good for me in the end.

Had my doctor’s visit on Monday and got my prescription for E ordered that same day. It should be arriving early next week. Am still nervous about it, but I think this will help me feel even more like me. And I’m excite to look and feel even prettier.

I’ve been trying to decide that myself. Even though my first thought is, “That’s not me,” when I see my old photos, I feel I should leave them out there for people/world to see. Part of it is not wanting to feel like I’m hiding my past and the other part is to maybe help others realize they can do this, too. And/or show my less open-minded friends and family that transitioning isn’t a bad thing.
Idk how successful I’ll be with that last one, but I feel I should at least try.

I plan on making a before & after post and title it, “What going on E does to a mfer.” Or, “E, not even once,” like it’s a '90s drug PSA.
I wanna have fun with this.

You, too, can have an ass like that. Squats and lunges will get that booty popping before you know it. Or if a squat rack isn’t feasible, booty bands are also really effective. I rely on those when I don’t have access to a rack.
And then make sure to get your protein for your growing booty. Vanilla or strawberry flavored whey protein in whole milk is fucking delicious. With how good that tastes, there’s no reason you can’t get enough nutrients.

Hopefully this helps! Everyone deserves a juicy ass.

I am quite lucky to have met them, I will admit. In a way they helped save me, so I’m very appreciative of them.

Took me a minute to figure out what w2c meant. I think my friend got it from here. This looks like an exact match.
Edit: My friend confirmed it was from there.

Thank you! I haven’t figured out how I’ll accessorize it yet, but you gave me a couple ideas though! I’ll have to start looking at jewelery.

I feel more NB at the moment as I still like certain masc aspects about me, but I feel really comfortable being fem. It gives me the happy.

You can take E without anti-androgens? I thought E always had to be paired with some sort of T-blocker. How has your body and mind responded to it so far?
I’m asking mainly because I really want to have more feminine features, but there are still some masc features I want to keep that taking T-blockers would get rid of (my functionality down there, for example). So the thought of going on HRT makes me apprehensive. But if I could keep them, I would feel a lot more comfortable moving forward.
This also has me wondering if I’m trans or more likely enby/genderfluid.

I’ve used removal cream on my face and nether regions. While I’ve never had 100% success with it, it does still make a significant difference. And then if you follow it up with shaving, you’ll have the smoothest shave you’ve ever experienced.

Not OP, but I started growing my hair out in late '22. During Summer '23, it started to look more feminine. I looked in the mirror randomly that summer and I had to stop and look. Because what I saw, for the first time in the 30 years I’ve been on Earth, made me instinctively smile. I didn’t want to stop looking because it just felt so happy seeing how I looked.
And it’s only encouraged me to be more fem. I just need to move to a location where I can safely be me.

I use Mark Cuban’s pharmacy for a prescription. It’s crazy how good their prices can be.
When I started my prescription, I went to a local pharmacy first. A one month supply was $45. But when I looked on Cost Plus Pharmacy, it was $15 for a 3 month supply. And that includes shipping. I quickly changed pharmacies after that.

I shared the pharmacy with friends and family who have prescriptions. They looked into it, but the prices there were nearly the same as what they were paying with insurance. So it wasn’t worth for them to switch.
But if you don’t have insurance, or insurance won’t cover a medication (like in my case), this pharmacy could literally be a life saver.
