"After spending over two decades without any treatment, I sought help for my transsexualism; my doctor first prescribed spironolactone, followed by estradiol. It took a bit of time to find the proper dose to balance my estrogen levels, but patience paid off-no negatives! With estradiol, I've finally been able to start building a life for myself!"

"Estrogen. It's the best estrogen. Makes growth of breast tissue. But seriously, I can't recommend estradiol enough. I've been taking it sublingually for around 4 months now (2 mg daily for the first 3 months, increased to 4 mg last month), and I feel like an entirely different person. My skin feels so much softer (even though it's still just as dry >:( ), and I've noticed a fair bit of breast growth (they look a bit bigger but feel much different due to an increased amount of tissue), as well as more fat on my face. The one downside is the mood effects; my emotional lows are pretty low. Luckily, my highs are much higher than they ever were before. I'd recommend any trans woman get on estradiol ASAP (provided they're not on it already, haha)."

"So I started transitioning at 18, and after a lot of research, I settled on Premarin as it's the closest to organic estrogen. After 2 years on that, I gained too much weight for myself to continue without risking blood clots or a stroke. My doctor said, 'You're switching to estradiol.' I was like, okay. After maybe 3 weeks, when my sex drive came back and my weight went way down, I knew I had made a grave mistake years ago. This may be synthetic, but it's most customly fit for humans. Then I started developing again. This med has changed my life for the better."

"I used estrogen in combination with spiro for 8 years with no side effects, ended up with a solid 40C cup size, would like to go back on it to get bigger. I used 2 mg twice a day, 200 mg of spiro, and 200 mg of prometrium."

"I'm three months on estradiol and cypro. My skin is much softer, my breasts started to develop, my odor has changed, my hair is less oily, I'm so happy with that!"
