Hi,

Thanks for your reply, never thought about aloe Vera Gel, we have some in the bathroom cabinet, wife uses so I am going to borrow it.

Yes I need to up my exercises the only issue is I am partially disabled from my service in the Army, so pretty restricted but will google it.

Thanks
Ian

Hi NB

Been a while since I posted on my thread, so here we are. 88 day update and a very slow development compared to others but at my age that is no bad thing.

I am taking Oestrogel pump 2 = 1.50mg Estradiol and 47 days 5mg Finasteride, having my second blood test done via medichecks back end of next week so will see what the difference is from my first one, depending on the results I may increase my Oestrodoil to 3 pumps.

I am now getting chest pains, feels like pulled muscles and I can feel my arms brushing the side of my small boobs, I also have hip pain which i have never had before, though I have spinal issues this is different.

MY testicles have really shrunk, I have always had big ones but even the wife has noticed they have shrunk, as for my penis well that has gone back into its shell just like a tortoise, its that bad I now have to sit down to urinate.

Attache phot taken 13 JUne, not a good one but will look better when I grow more as they are looking saggy
All for now
Ina

Sounds like your HRT is working. Just gel and blocker is very bare bones program, but its doing its thing. I'm quite sure you can easily go on a slightly higher dose soon without problems. Expect body changes to speed up a bit. Have you got your blood checked lately? I'm wondering where your levels are?

Hi Lara, having my bloods doen end of next week, will post when I get them

Hi Ian,

Definitely working, slow but steady, which is the best way.

[IanW55]

Well not a lot has changed since my last post, looks as though things have stalled which given my senior years probably sounds right.

Taking 3 pumps of Oestrodoil which is 2.25mg Estradoil and 1 x 5mg Finasteride, I might up the dose to 4 pumps but as I am doing this alone not too sure, my bloods which were done last mont are still out, my E is higher but not high enough.

Thoughts on this please.
Ian

Hi Ian,
Unfortunately, it takes time and perseverance, be patient my friend.

Hi Folks,

Been a while since i could post anything positive.

This is a not a big plus, but its a plus. I am now feeling things in breast region, I can feel the inside of my arms catching my boobs mainly when I am having a wash or a shower so something is happening up top.

I have always had a back injury caused by an injury whilst serving in the Army, but recently my lower back is very painful especially above my coxic bone and hip area, the pain radiates along the length, so what is that may I ask.

My man is very small now never big anyway before this journey, erections are virtually non existant, as for my testicles they are shrinking, not tried anything else, just not in the mood for it.

So thats where I am.

I can't remember if you ever used BO. I first experienced back and pelvic/hip pain for no physical exertion reason when I was using BO then it slowly tapered off. When I started estradiol it came back with a vengeance. Now after a year my rear is pretty set in place from pelvic tilt.

If I remember the explanation, the basically increased female hormones make the hips move into a position that will ready them for child bearing, that's probably an over simplification.

However, interestingly enough the shape and development of the pelvis is one way forensic anthropologists determine sex in skeletons.

So congrats, it sounds like you are experiencing pelvic tilt, a great step towards feminization. You should notice your butt starting to stick out a little bit and jeans and slacks a little tighter in the rump. One of the many reasons I switched to HRT.

Hello,

I did try BO but I gave it up (long story) but i have started again (I read a couple of posts by Lara and Wee2er and took insperation) so 3 days ago I started taking 2 x 250mg after my evening meal, will give it a month.

As for my bloods they are not as they should be but that is my fault I stopped for a while and they went back to male, had them done last month and they have improved so next blood test should be better. It helps that the doctor has put me on 5mfg of Finasteride for a prosate problem (BPH) been on that for nearly 12 weeks.

As for Oestrogel 18 July will be 120 days of various doses (see below) on Saturday 19 July I will take 4 doses a day and see what happens.

I hope you can understand the chart, I did go from 2 to 3 then back down to 2 for my own piece of mind then back up to 3 like i said its 4 from 18 July and i will stay at that
Love to all
Ian
