I am transitioning! I've decided to try something aligned to the "Powers method": I started on estradiol pills, 6mg split during the day, so I took 2mg in the morning, 2mg in the afternoon and the other 2mg before going to sleep. I also took 25mg cyproterone acetate before sleeping so it would get rid of testosterone as well. After 2 months I took blood tests and my levels were 670pg/ml for estradiol and below 15ng/dl for testosterone. I then switched to injections and lowered the dose so it would match the 200pg/ml that is expected. I am using 5mg injectable estradiol valerate now every 5 days and dropped the cyproterone acetate because I was getting depressed. I haven't taken blood tests yet but I'm doing fine. Eventually I am considering getting an orchiectomy first and a vaginoplasty later. My surgeon told me I should stretch the skin of my scrotum to prevent it from shrinking because it will be needed later. This has been a wonderful journey for me and I am really thankful for having friends who unconditionally support me and love me. So everyone please call me by she/her pronouns from now on! Thank you and be excellent to each other! I have also changed my site's button so that it fits my identity better. Love you all.
