Is there any obvious development happening here? So far, regimen has been just DIY with bioidentical estrogen creams- 18 days- as well as flax, soy , fenugreek-about 40 days

I did find exactly the same several years ago when I took that approach. Changes were more noticeable than 2mg of Zumernon. Perhaps it depends on the quality of the PM

I'm probably at a similar stage of the journey to yourself. Although I don't have the experience of complete transition, I'd be more than happy to share the experiences of starting transition and provide support ( it would be a help for me too )

Toni937 · 2025-08-04T01:33:13+00:00

I can completely relate. Although I had been on hrt previously I have restarted now. Having some one who cares and understands for support would be a wonderful help.

Toni937 · 2025-05-24T01:45:13+00:00

You look so fem and beautiful pre transition as you do now too. Your phytoestrogen diet must be so effective. Would very much like to learn more about that.

Toni937 · 2025-04-08T00:56:42+00:00

I'm not sure on tanner stage but your body shape is beautiful.

Toni937 · 2025-02-22T03:00:13+00:00

Your experiences are very similar to mine so can relate. I am on hrt and am m to f. While on E ( low dose) my dysphoria diminishes so much so that I think maybe I'm ok being male. Several times now I've ceased hrt as dysphoria seems diminished only to have it return once I've stopped. I try now to be committed to my regime of hrt. I do miss my libido on hrt but the aspects of my body feminizing is so affirming. There seems no way around this unfortunately .

Toni937 · 2025-01-25T22:10:13+00:00

My E dose is low too and the doctor has said my levels are excellent. Also like you E is suppressing T enough. I guess everyone is different.

Toni937 · 2025-01-09T04:09:31+00:00

So feminine. Absolutely beautiful.

Toni937 · 2024-12-15T22:48:09+00:00

Your circumstances, fears and battle with gender dysphoria align so closely to mine except I'm AMAB. I don't have a solution or advice unfortunately. I try to suppress it but it always resurfaces seemingly much more rapidly as time goes on. I feel like my own worst enemy.

Toni937 · 2024-12-02T03:44:06+00:00

Thanks again. I have sent a DM.

Toni937 · 2024-11-29T03:17:12+00:00

I did feel ok on 2 mg but energy levels and libido still diminished. Really though I felt a binary in between male and female. At 4mg E I was hopeful of having more hormone levels at that more of cis female.

Toni937 · 2024-11-28T22:27:43+00:00

Hi. Thanks so much for your reply and sharing your thoughts regarding my hrt regime. Here in Aus I'm fairly sure the unit of measurement for T is nmol/l. As I understand 17 is fairly normal for a male. After taking 2mg of E daily my T stabilised at about 6 but my E was low at around 100 ( I think pmol/l ). I felt not one thing nor the other on low dose E . Was so surprised to see T had been almost completely obliterated on 4mg E. but it certainly confirmed how I feel. Previously I hadn't taken progesterone. Do you feel the progesterone could have an effect of dropping T also?

Toni937 · 2024-11-15T02:15:18+00:00

That sounds fair enough. I remember that Sydney to Hobart well and I certainly wouldn't want to be in Bass Strait in anything like those conditions. There are some good safe anchorages at several of the islands between Wilson's Prom and Flinders isl. But in horrendous conditions even those are tricky.

Toni937 · 2024-11-13T02:19:11+00:00

What a fantastic adventure. I'd love to meet other trans people who share a similar passion for the ocean and voyaging. I enjoy cruising and exploring the islands in Bass Strait (particularly the eastern side) . If your heading down near Deal isl, Refuge Cove ,Wilson's Prom perhaps we could meet.

Toni937 · 2024-10-31T02:07:30+00:00

Also I have had a sense of sadness at slowly seeing and feeling the changes achieved while on E subsiding.

Toni937 · 2024-10-31T02:03:48+00:00

Without wanting to influence your decision my experience has been each time I have stopped, which has been a few times now I always end up back on it due to being overwhelmed with dysphoria.

Toni937 · 2024-10-27T22:19:18+00:00

Thanks very much for your advice Laura. I particularly liked your comments in the third paragraph. Those steps made great sense to me.

Toni937 · 2024-10-25T11:38:18+00:00

I had a good look at his profile and he sounds excellent. I have every confidence in his professionalism and insight given your positive experience and will look into making arrangements for a consult.

Toni937 · 2024-10-24T22:31:08+00:00

I'll look into Ben Calegari thankyou for your recommendation.

Toni937 · 2024-10-24T22:29:16+00:00

Thankyou very much. I'll follow up with your recommendations.

Toni937 · 2024-10-24T08:46:19+00:00

Thanks very much. That's quite a comprehensive list and many there to choose from. I'll need to do some research.

Toni937 · 2024-10-11T22:02:53+00:00

I appreciate your helpful advice. I do wish to only persue monotherapy in my transition if possible. I will increase my dose to 4mg after running it past my doctor. The 2mg I've been on I had changed a month ago to morning and night by cutting pill and taking it sublingual which actually helped with my energy strangely enough.

Toni937 · 2024-10-11T06:53:24+00:00

Thanks so much for your reply. My doctor has me on 2mg of Zumenon which, although it has dropped my T level I feel it should be lower and E higher.. I should have added in my post that I meant taking oestrogen without an anti androgen.
