(If you have any questions put them in the comments and I will answer them).
It will be interesting to see how my breasts take shape. Here are some facts about HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy).
(1) There are 4 types of estrogen you need to have for proper growth to occur. The most prominent ones are Conjugated Estrogens and Estradiol Valerate, which is a synthetic estrogen hormone (it's in the birth control pill which has also progestin).
(2) the dosage is key!!! for Conjugated Estrogens I was on 15mg and Estradiol Valerate 6mg. Anything less than that and you will see nothing. From May 2024 until end of November 2024 I was on lower dosage and I saw absolutely no physical results.
(3) all the estrogen is rendered pointless unless you lower the testosterone levels. As of December, I was on the maximum dosage of testosterone blockers. There are many different types of testosterone blockers. The one I'm on is Spironolactone 200mg. All the dosages are in Milligrams daily. Only when I was on the maximum allowed dosages is when I started to feel my breasts growing.
(4) the dosages are all determined based on your health and blood tests. These hormones have severe side affects on your kidneys and liver, just to name a few, including cancer! you will have to monitor your blood works every 3 months in the first year then every 6 months afterwards. It is extremely dangerous to go on high dosage without proper blood works to determine your health status and how much your body can take or you risk cancers and pre-mature organ(s) failure.
(5) For the first year and a half, you will experience (scalp) hair loss due to the fluctuating hormone levels in your body. This will stabilize after approximately 1.5 years from taking HRT. If you were prone to male baldness prior to taking HRT, then you will initially experience baldness and in about 1.5 years some of your fallen hair might grow back, although not all of it. This varies from person to another but the rule of thumb is that if you had male baldness prior to HRT then it will be the hardest on your hair.
(6) Average breast growth is A-cup for most and the majority of growth will be noticed in the first 6 months to a year. After-which, the growth might continue at an extremely slow rate.
(7) If you do the surgery downstairs then you will not need to take testosterone blockers, only estrogen required.
(8) if you don't qualify for the government program, expect to pay anywhere from $150 to $650 every 3 months for the HRT. This will totally depends on your health situation and what type of HRT you are taking and at what dosages. Mine are pills taken orally.
(9)There are many forms of HRT. I'm taking pills. There is a patch you stick on your skin and it releases HRT through your skin. Also, there is a cream type and lastly there is injection.
