Okay, so with where I'm starting and my present achievements out of the way, let's recap my goals.

My external goals:

• Slim my waist to 27" and lose at least 20 lbs to do so.
  
• Increase my hip and bust while maintaining a 1:1 ratio or as close to as possible.
  
• Decrease my body hair
  
• Improve my head hair
  
• Improve my nails
  
• Thin and soften my skin
  

My internal goals:

• Bring my Testosterone levels down to as close to or within female range as possible.
  
• Bring my Estrogen levels in line with those of a genetic female.
  
• Bring my Progesterone levels in line with those of a genetic female.
  

Those are some hefty goals, I know!

Well, let's talk about my progress so far. It's been roughly 7 months, a bit under...

Although I don't seem to be actually losing any weight, in fact, I've gained back my past losses! I do somehow seem to actually be smoothing out my waistline anyways. There's a a definite visible difference and there's beginning to be a measured one. I'm not losing any waist size either. What's there is just becoming smoother and less obviously pudgy. I still want to lose weight and a coupla waist sizes, but I don't seem to be effecting a change there. In fact I've gone UP! I still need to figure out a way to motivate myself to exercise...

I have regained at this point all my losses in my hips, and then an inch more! YAY!

My breasts have seen the most marked change, going from barely-there beestings to a definitely-there small A cup. My band size is presently remaining a 32. There's definitely been some interesting happenings up there though... I'd reported a while ago that I was ALMOST 38" across, but now I'm reporting back down to 37.5", and my above the bust was 2 inches greater than now... I think I was having some swelling... But there's definitely permanent growth here as well. So... shrug.

Nothing new to report on hair, skin, and nails. Just that things continue progressing on the hair, and the skin and nails continue to be amazing.

So lets recap my supplement plan...

My Supplement Plan (with product links):

• Ainterol Pueraria Mirifica Extract (liquid):
  I am now following a very complex cycling plan with this, which will be detailed below.
  `
  
• Progynova:
  As above, details to follow.
  `
  
• Swanson Premium Menogest Progesterone Cream:
  I am also cycling this, which will be detailed below.
  `
  
• Swanson Ultra Whole Food Multi without Iron:
  Just following the product label, splitting it into 3 doses.
  `
  
• Swanson Premium Full-Spectrum Chinese Skullcap:
  4 caps 3 times a day.
  4800 mg per day.
  `
  
• Doctor's Best Saw Palmetto Extract:
  1 cap in the morning and at lunch and 2 caps at night.
  1280 mg per day.
  `
  
• Swanson Ultra CoQ10/Traditional Red Yeast Rice Complex:
  Just following the product label.
  `
  
• Swanson Premium Hair, Skin, & Nails:
  Just following the product label.
  `
  
• Swanson Premium Vitamin B-125 Complex:
  Double dosing, breakfast and lunch.
  `
  
• Spring Valley Iron 65 mg Tablets Twin Pack:
  Double dosing, breakfast and lunch.
  

The PM and Progynova (Estradiol Valerate) are my estrogens, the Menogest is my progesterone, the saw palmetto and chinese skullcap are my anti-androgens, and the multi is just a multi, most people should honestly be on one, the CoQ10/Red Yeast Rice is for my blood pressure and accelerated heart rate problems, the hair skin and nails should be obvious, the B-complex is because I seem to have trouble getting enough B vitamins, the iron is because I've discovered I need it.

So yeah... my plan is definitely getting some results. Hopefully the ones I'm getting continue and I can figure out a way to better target the fat burning. I'm not seeming to be doing any burning at all right now

I am finding that my new cycling plan for the three supplements I'm cycling has been much better for my mental stability and also that the addition of estradiol has greatly improved my mental stability. I am referring to estradiol as a supplement rather than as a "drug" because even though it is a pharmaceutical, it's a hormone, not a drug, and anything that's being used to supplement your natural diet or internal productions is a supplement. If we want to be picky about definitions then most of what I'm taking ARE drugs. They're just in herb form instead of extracted and processed and refined away into a drug form.

Speaking of my cycling... I'd mentioned that I'd recap that in this post as well...



How do you like my shiny new calendar? Just got done making that this morning, lol. EV stands for Estradiol Valerate, PM stands for Pueraria Mirifica, and PC stands for Progesterone Cream. The "x2" on the two days of "1/2 tsp" right in the center of the 2 week run of PC are short for "morning and evening", in other words, double dose. Those are my peak dose for progesterone.
