Ethinyl estradiol being bad / environmentally unfriendly is a myth spread by pro-lifers. I take Diane 35 for my skin and it has actually lowered my blood pressure.

However, it's not a good idea to mix it into a cream. I would use a product like volufilline instead. The dose of estrogen in BC is extremely low, even in "high dose" ones like Neovlar, Anavar etc.

The reason they have estrogen is to offset the progesterone dosage. The progesterone is what keeps you from becoming pregnant.

If you really want a topical estrogen, I would recommend well... estrogen in HRT quantities.

Preeeeeetty sure endocrinologists freak out when they hear a substance is even remotely similar to estrogen and then they say "omg you could get cancer". I doubt that's from pro-life influence. And part of breast cancer treatment is to put the person on anti-estrogens. And a friend of mine had to switch bc because the cancer rates were found to be too high compared to others. And in other forums they chit chat about estrogen for breast growth multiple times and every time someone says "Yeah, my friend did that and then she got cancer". And that, unlike straight men, mtf TGs given estrogen should be screened regularly for breast cancer just like genetic females. And there are progestin free, estrogen only bc. Combination bc is now more popular because of reduced dosage requirement and reduced side effects. Estrogen requires a prescription for a reason.

Don't tell people to take high amounts of estrogen. It's no joke. It should be prescribed by a doctor and carefully controlled to only the amount the person needs.

Likewise testosterone is synonymous with anabolic steroids and human growth hormone is prescription only because of the dangers it presents. Most hormones are no joke, whatever benefits they might have to those who use or abuse them. Progesterone is the oddball in that it seems to be relatively safe and thus is available over the counter.
