There are three keys needed for NBE: Estrogen, Progesterone and Anti-Androgen.
As a very general guideline, effective daily doses should be somewhere between these values.
Estrogen:1000-2000mg -- start at 500mg/day for at least a week or two before increasing to 1000mg and so on.
AA:1000-2000mg -- start at 500mg/day for at least a week or two before increasing to 1000mg (AA is everyday, no breaks)
Progesterone: 20mg -- start doses once breasts have fully budded, stay at 20mg, this will give you the same blood level of a 28yo female.
Example Schedules (there are no hard rules here, except that the AA is always taken everyday, no breaks, regardless)
5 days on/2 days off -- that is, five days of Estrogen & Progesterone, then two days off of both. (This is how Testosterone therapy is usually scheduled for males)
2 weeks on Estrogen only, followed by 2 weeks on Progesterone only (This somewhat mimics a female cycle) This schedule saves money too.
