<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 / <a class="external underline" href="https://transfemscience.org/articles/genital-e2-application/" target="_blank">Patches on their scrotal skin</a>, but this appears less consistent than injections.</p>

<p>There doesn't seem to be much research for or against progesterone in regards to transitioning and feminization.

<p>In general the most useful things to test for in regards to feminization is Estradiol (E2) and Total Testosterone.</p>
