When taking progesterone make sure to take micronized as it is bioidentical to the real thing and is much healthier for.

I would like to thank Stevenator and DesperateGirl for their contributions to this thread.
I'm planning on asking my Dr with my next checkup in two months about getting on progesterone. I have small droopy tubular breasts and would like them to fill out more.

Thanks guys for the support. Its only been a few days on the patch but I feel more positive since restarting. Now I have a love / hate relationship with my boobs. They embarrass me in public and I wear a bra to flatten and hide them but in private I enjoy the look and feel of female breasts. But if I am to have boobs I want nice pert ones. My wife is nearing 50 and hers are still near perfect even after two kids. I will not abide sagging boobs and have taken the wifes advice on keeping mine in shape. Currently, when getting romantic, she sort of ignores my breasts but given time I think shell come to enjoy my enjoyment of them. And speaking of sagging.......I am embarrassed by that belly in the last video. Its diet and exercise from here on out. Quarantine has not been my friend and with my wife at home now feeding me I need to get a handle on my weight gain.

worn homemade skirts and utility kilts for 8 years. I love the freedom of a kilt and I like being smooth. You’ll never catch me in makeup. I’ll say this, ever since the lockdown started, it has been nice wearing a skirt/kilt 24/7. I’d love to be able to wear one out on rare trips to the store, etc, but I don’t..
I own several utility kilts and wear them around the house but I’m very traditional and Scottish to boot. So when I do venture out in public in a kilt I wear my clan tartan with proper hose, sgian dubh and footwear. Funny how I feel very masculine in a kilt but then again, it is a very masculine garment.

Saw my endocrinologist today and he has increased my Climara patches to the .375 mg patches I'll find out in three months what my new levels will be when I see him next.

When it's nice and warm out I like to wear a sarong. They offer the freedom of a kilt but the fact you can tie them in many ways means they can be worn in many different styles.

Thank you for the update Chesleyt. It sounds like you are getting the proper feedback from your endocrinologist. The three month cycles are long, but you are going in the right direction to get the levels you need, AND with monitoring of your overall health.
Please can you update us in the next few weeks as to how the increase is making you feel?

Once I get the patches I'll post an update there's been a mix up and they had to get back in touch with the Endocrinologist.
