Super awesome that you have such awesome medical care! that makes me super happy. i do really well too, but it is a lot of self advocacy for sure to get what i need. 

my estradiol valerate comes in an oil that my endo said makes my peak E in my blood three days after injection and then a smooth taper to day 7 when i reinject? no idea if this works for everyone who injects, but it works for me. i dont feel cylces. 

I also take bioidentical progesterone rectally so it doesnt go through my liver. 200mg a day, but i dont have my blood tests of that anymore, it’s been years for me too now and that was with my old endo so i dont have the test anymore. I kinda want pellets now though! they sound super easy. thanks for all the info. 

My T is actually only 25 percent of yours without supplement of the gel if i did the conversion right. you said 0.7 nmol/L which this website says is about 20ng/DL. my test without gel was 4.5ng/DL and my test before that was undetectable.

totally understand about not wanting to supplement T, I’m not psyched about it either for me! i only take a tiny bit though. i guess my body just makes such a tiny bit now that it’s not enough for me. my target blood level is about the same as yours now. so like 0.05 grams every other day gel, tiny tiny bit!

I’m super happy to be here on the forum! I came over from reddit /nbe, because this seemed more serious kinda? Like there is just more wild west there where this seems more science and serious kinda?

I’m also on a discord server where they require verification and it isnt totally public. i post a bit more detail about myself and progress pics and things there.

You got the conversion wrong lol I definitely don't have 20 Ng/ml it converts to 0.20 Ng/ml so less than 1ng/ml, for a healthy young woman adrenals make around this amount. Plus my endo who is the top of the top in my country says they are great and low as they always have been, I will also add that I asked about doing progesterone rectally for my 200mg twice daily and he said there's no point as he hasn't seen any big difference in levels with oral intake versus rectally with his patients but to each their own.
I don't really use discord though I'm a gamer so I've been told by many to use it gaming wise! But happy we can atleast converse here! 
Anyways off that topic it doesn't matter because as you've said you are a natal woman it's totally different hrt wise and what's important to me is that my testosterone is miniscule for someone as young as me being post op and it only being made in the micro amounts the adrenals make as is it's actually on the cusp of being under what a normal natal womans levels of testosterone is, you may very well have some adrenal fatigue or something if your natal woman adrenals aren't producing any hormones whatsoever, but this is totally normal at your age so dw! I'm only young so everythings working normally 
My mum has also gone through menopause like you but she chooses not to do hrt because her moods, and symptoms are all pretty manageable and I think her levels are in the higher norm for a woman who's gone through change of life. Anyways let's hop off this topic because it seems to be filling up my thread now and I'm not even sure where exactly it's going lmao. I'll be back to post an update when I have one!

So no major update except the fact that my boobs have swelled up an extra 1/4 of an inch tonight about 3 hours after my massage so measuring 41 3/4 inches! This is obviously swelling I'm assuming and Im still 41 1/2 inches(with everything I've gained being permanent) but I thought I'd post as a reminder of the importance of what you massage with and how you massage, I don't just use a standard basic oil, I have a whole recipe laid out in my thread and everything has its place (including the essential oils) all for either circulation boosting, estrogen promoting/balancing, fat enhancing etc, ie if you aren't getting any swelling from your massage oil try changing it up/making a recipe for a more potent oil. My breasts are quite sore ATM but that's not exactly a bad sign, I will be getting my beautiful new Panache Allure Full Cup Bra in my new 32GG size on Monday so in 2 days   I'm so excited as I've been having to go completely braless again seeing as I've outgrown all my other bras.

Also this is my current figure since one or so months(consistently) on my program, I'm feeling great about my figure and embracing any rolls/flaws rather than hyper fixating on them. 

[blueseltzer]

Ya look great! 

i’ll check out your massage oil recipe. Thanks!

[MadameBusty]

Thanks Blue! I just added 2 extra pics to give a better idea about my current figure on this program, I'm 5'7

Hubba Hubba, You look wonderful!

Patiently waiting to see the bikini you teased us with.

[MadameBusty]

Haha thanks Bobbi! I just got my new Panache Allure Full Cup Bra in ivory in my new 32GG size and it fits beautifully. I'm not exactly used to full cups but it'll be great for under full coverage shirts, its a UK32GG/US32J cup 

[MadameBusty]

My boobs are alil bit swollen today but the great thing about this bra is it has stretch lace!   meaning even if I grow more it should last a good while

[MadameBusty]

So I slept in and just woke up now it is morning here, I measured myself fresh as I havnt massaged today yet or taken anything and I'm measuring 41 3/4 inches at bust again! My breasts were extremely sore last night and my nipples/areolas were on fire after massaging breasts and applying my red clover tincture to them last night. I'm super excited too as my underbust hasn't changed at all so this isn't from weight gain/false NBE growth. I cannot get over how beautifully the Panache Allure Full cup fits, the shape, the lift and the ability to accommodate to any fluctuations due to being stretch lace with no actual cup is amazing, I will be getting the faith moulded plunge bra from Panache too in a 30H(sister size to 32GG). Anyways that's all for now I'm a very happy girl!
