My 2019 Estrofem Journal & experiences

[WannaBeSmall (imported)]

I had my blood work results back today. Pretty much everything is okay. Liver health is good (I guess my body has coped with a rather excessive 100mg daily intake of Androcur for 9 months!).

The only thing which was flagged was Vitamin D levels. I'm at 21.1 nmol/L and it should be between 50-100 nmol/L. This isn't surprising as I've totally neglected to take my calcium/vitamin D tablets. But I've recently ordered some calcium citrate tables and I'll make sure I take those daily, like a good boy... girl? I dunno

I also had low Vitamin D levels until I went on Calcium/Vitamin D tablets daily. Now it's back in the normal range. I've gone a month on no drugs at all and T has gotten back into the low normal range. A five month supply of Estrofem arrives today and I can't wait to go back on it. Will finish off my testicles with CaCl2 in the next few weeks. I'm looking forward to castrate T levels and Estradiol dominance. Breasts have gotten a bit smaller so I'm anxious to resume their growth.

I just received my Estrofem and took the first pill. I hope my breasts resume growing soon and that my already low T drops dramatically.

Don't forget to take them sublingually. I'll be splitting mine and taking 2x 1mg sublingually daily

[notsomanly (imported)]

I've always taken them sublingually. I've thought about splitting the daily dose and taking twice per day, but I don't think there's much evidence that this makes a difference. It's surprising because Estradiol has a fairly short 1-2 hour) peak in blood concentration.

Hi,

I think we’re going to be pals lol

I also want to shrink my genitalia like you. I have read your 2018 diary and am fascinated with your progress.

May I ask how old you are and your approx weight? Just asking for dosage reasons, I assume height, weight and age have a bearing on how much of each drug you should take. Please PM me if you don’t want to put such details out in the public domain.

I think I will start as you did, androcur (tho in-house are currently out of stock) and maybe reboxetine or whatever that anti-depressant is called. I’ve read else where it is a good shrinker and may curb some of the distasteful mental effects of lowering T.

Thanks for your diary and good luck as it progresses.

I am now thinking that I may purchase some Estrofem 1mg tablets and take one a day instead of the tamoxifen.

I guess that this is quite a low dose (advice welcome - still doing my research), so that the feminising effects won't be happening too quickly if I change my mind.

If I like it I could up the dose, and if not it's back to the tamoxifen.

This seems a good collection of authoritative info from UCSF:

There's more here than most folks would ever care to read, but it is well indexed by small section so you can pick out what you need.
