<pclass="alert alert-danger"role="alert">Careful! None of this is vetted by medical professionals. See the <ahref="./Project:General_disclaimer.html"title="Project:General disclaimer">general disclaimer</a> for more information.</p>
<p><arel="nofollow"class="external text"href="https://d31kydh6n6r5j5.cloudfront.net/uploads/sites/161/2019/08/hormones_MTF.pdf">Basic guidelines and information</a>

<li>BA: Breast Augmentation / Breast Surgery</li></ul>
<pclass="alert alert-warning"role="alert">Are you under 21? If so, be extra careful! These dosages are not appropriate for children, or adolescents. You can find dosages for younger folks <arel="nofollow"class="external text"href="https://academic.oup.com/jcem/article/102/11/3869/4157558">on this article from the Endocrine Society</a>.</p>
<li>7mg Estradiol Valerate injection every 5 days.</li>
<li>5mg Estradiol Cypionate injection every 7 days.</li>
<li>10mg Estradiol Enanthate injection every 10 days.</li></ul>
<p>High enough estrogen level sufficiently suppresses your testosterone production.
</p><p>Many people do fine with lower dosages than what is listed, but people often inject higher amounts without blood testing due to accessibility or costs as a precaution against having too low E2 to suppress T without an anti-androgen. If you have access to blood testing it is usually recommended to get it done and adjust dosage as needed.
</p><p>Some people also manage to lower their T to female levels with thrice daily 2mg sublingual estradiol or high dose Gel / <arel="nofollow"class="external text"href="https://transfemscience.org/articles/genital-e2-application/">Patches on their scrotal skin</a> but this appears less consistent than injections.
<ul><li>Rectal progesterone after tanner 3 breasts is becoming more common. It may help round out the breasts, may help with fat redistribution and may give a stronger libido for some. 100-200mg gel capsules once daily.</li>
<li>Medroxyprogesterone Acetate (MPA) is generally not recommended for anyone.</li></ul>
<p>There doesn't seem to be much research for or against progesterone in regards to transitioning and feminization. If you see any interesting studies keep in mind that studies can be flawed or unreproducible. If you want to try progesterone, try progesterone. If you don't like being on it, quit progesterone.
<p>You can get find reference values on <arel="nofollow"class="external text"href="http://www.hemingways.org/GIDinfo/hrt_ref.htm">GID</a> and on <ahref="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_ranges_for_blood_tests#Sex_hormones"class="extiw"title="wikipedia:Reference ranges for blood tests">Wikipedia</a>.
</p><p>Health concerns with some anti-androgens that you should test for if you can:
</p>
<ul><li><b>Bicalutamide:</b> Liver Function.</li>
<li><b>Cyproterone Acetate:</b> Prolactin and Vitamin B12.</li>
<p>There are other things that could be useful in general or with certain health conditions. You are expected to research any adverse symptoms you are having.
