Ok so some update about my HRT. I had a very nice phone call with my doctor...
She didn't want to raise my Progesterone dosage, citing possible raised breast cancer risk. I agreed that its ok as 200mg works just fine. I added that luckily for me, I haven't had a single case of breast cancer in my family. (Few other cancers yes, but not in boobs.) Cypro we're also keeping as it is as its been working fine, my T is blocked enough she said that my levels are pretty much spot on right now.
She agreed that I have to raise my injection dose as my E came out being weirdly low. She didn't want to prescribe pills on the side to sooth the crash as she wants to protect me from raised DVT risk which she said is big deal enough in my age, so she prescribed me a mild patch to have along with injection to make my levels more stable.... This is going to be very interesting experiment to use patches and injection at the same time, I don't know many who have done that. So yea, EV up to 0,10ml and a patch which happens to have the same cycle as my injection so swap and jab on the same day.
She got curious about my breast development when I mentioned it being amazing especially after starting on PG and she asked my bra size, she was very surprised to hear that I'm wearing 38G/85J which is getting so tight I'm soon about to upgrade. She said I'm very lucky and at the top 1% of trans women with this... Well I knew that, but having it come from a doctor who's a trans woman herself is really nice validation.
