Over time, I have noticed that when various folks mention hrt, they often describe a monthly injection of whatever they take, instead of daily dosing. I really don't know much about pharma hrt because I haven't looked into it and don't expect I ever will. I was vocalizing my suspicion that perhaps it works better at least partially because it has a more constant and consistent effect than something which has an effect for some short time period, then has to be constantly renewed and results in levels of various things going wonky in the body over short time spans. I know there is a recurring theory that comes up on here which proposes that changing the levels of PM on a multi-day or multi-week cycle can improve results, but that is a different thing from the very short period of variability I'm talking about.
Actually......... Injections work in a rather interesting way. They are their most potent immediately after injection and slowly wane in potency over time. So by getting once or twice monthly shots they are getting sudden shocks followed by a gradual waning. VERY similar to a genetic woman's cycle!
The injections also tend to "release" in the mornings. Just like in a genetic woman's diurnal cycle!
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I think the best way to take anti-androgens is constant dose multiple times a day and the best way to take estrogens is daily in the morning around 7am, but changing the dose a mimicry of the monthly female cycle.

I noticed a long time ago that when I wear it that my boobs and especially my nipples were warmer and stayed that way for a remarkable period of time even after removing it.
That's awesome! I EXCLUSIVELY wear and prefer lined and/or padded bras. I'm just waaaaay too sensitive not to!
