I'm pretty damn sure if i order the stuff I'm going to want more like an addict.
thanks for the response.
Hi, I'm one of the "over the top" folks!
I got impatient to get started, and had read that some people needed that much to "kick start". What I had not bargained for what finding out that I was the kind of TS that got their brain sorted out by ingesting estrogen! I thought I was stuck on 3g/day, but with experimentation, it turns out that I can manage a bit better on 2g/day.
Better, because I space them over the day, and actually start to feel the effects wear off by the time the next one is due.
This is really good for me because (a) I don't need to set an alarm to remind me to take the next one

(b) a regular splash of "cold water" gives me a constant "reality check".... there is a danger with
some - not all people that taking PM all the time can "reprogramme their brains" so that they want to move on from breast growing to full transition. This may not be a problem for you, I don't know.
Regarding ordering, Ainterolherbs.com arrange shipment from Thailand. When they get sent to Europe, it's cost effective with shipping to get 2 or 3 pots at a time.
You made a good choice getting one pot for your first time. There is a possibility, if you do not have a TS brain caused by low foetal androgen exposure, that large doses of estrogen will cause anxiety. Watch out for this.
If, on the other hand, you experience a sense of calm and serenity, you may as well stock up, because you will be on it for life....
All the best,
