ive been on e for a bit over 6 months now, which from what ive read is the earliest that people start with prog, idk how to determine if/when i should start with it and my doctor isnt very helpful since they only want to give scientifically backed advice, any ideas? if youre on prog, what was your experience like and when did you start and why?

    In short, it’s another hormone.

    It’s still debated whether and when it’s useful for trans women to take, and it can therefore be difficult to find a doctor who’ll prescribe it - but some people who do take it report increased breast fullness / roundness, and increased libido.

    There’s little risk associated with taking it, so a fair amount of transfemmes try it out just to see whether it produces desirable effects for them.
