gonna try to be less of a lurker on here. howdy to all
shout out to progesterone, just upped to 200mg from 100mg and my tits are feeling a type of way
oh shit you too? I haven't been on that dose long enough to really feel it yet but let's see!
Oh shit you too?
I got mine doubled in October and my emotions went absolutely ballistic on me for about 2 months. Never understood what other trans people were talking about because E alone did almost nothing to me emotion-wise. But holy moly do I get them now.
So enjoy the emotional rollercoaster ...well if youβre as prog sensitive as me.
E alone did change my emotions just fine but prog mostly just made me horny
might start fucking literally anything i could conceivably fuck in like 4 weeks though let's see. It's only been about 4 days
Really interesting how different our experiences can be. My libido is still pretty low, although it does spike now every couple of days or so, which can be overwhelming when Iβm not expecting it.
Oh, mine definitely is usually super low, but even once in a while it's completely consuming of me
Then apparently our prog experiences are pretty similar, at least when it comes to the horny stuff.
did prog make your tiddies grow bigger yet or did it not do anything noticable like mine?
The reason I started with prog was that I developed mastopathy which I suspect was triggered by my estrogen dominance.
After upping my dose I definitely saw some changes. My tits filled out more and became rounder and the pain got a lot better. Theyβre still small because Iβm underweight but they have a nice shape now. And I guess the cysts made them a little bit bigger as well.
did you wait any length of time after going on estrogen before starting the P?
i'm very interested in this i'm having good results but wouldn't mind even more results
I think I was on estrogen for like 4 years before I started? no particular reason for the wait, just how it happened to pan out. got on progesterone ~10 months ago and been on E since 2020. idk how much waiting several years affected my results, but i've definitely had breast growth up to this point on 100mg. and if the feeling in my tits is any indication, i'm gonna be having more breast growth on 200mg.
iirc common wisdom is to start it a year into being on E. haven't read up on it in forever so idk. people's experience varies a lot just from what i hear talking with friends. for me i got annoyingly horny and my tits went up a cup size or two (didn't measure, just guessing). i think it also increased appetite for me, and gaining a bit of weight probably helped with fat distribution and breast growth. hard to say how much effect prog really had, but look at side-by-side pics of my tits before prog versus after 10 months of it and there's definitely a difference.
i think if you've been on E for a year or more and you're wanting more changes, prog might have an effect and it might not. i had no adverse effects from it, unless you count being inconveniently horny as an adverse effect, and i think it's generally regarded as very low risk. overall i'm happy with my experience.
thanks so much for the write up that's very informative and helpful!!
