Na~3~N is right, don't trust that your doctor is doing the right thing for you even if they are actually well-intentioned. This is a new science for them if they've even studied it extensively, and they are trained to be very risk averse. I have known very few trans girls that haven't been under-dosed. The risks are very overstated with feminizing hrt. And you can push your levels much higher than many doctors think relatively safely.
I've heard (and seen) from so many trans girls that fat redistrinution really starts to take off after 2 years. This is all your mileage may vary, but don't be disappointed if you don't have the body shape you want even if your boobs are growing nicely already.
Cool, thank you! I assume it's a matter of checking the blood work, etc to determine if I can or should up my dose and all that right? This is going to be an interesting experiment in self advocacy for me lol.
Yes, you absolutely need to be checking your blood work paper. Get tested right before you take your dose so it's at the lowest it will be (trough). I'd probably just post the numbers here so people can help you make sure they're good :cat-trans:
Okay! I'll be sure to post some so all the cool people who live in my phone can help me get a good grade in girl
(personally) hoping to weight cycle with pio before then in hopes it will help me
What's pio?
I don't have the full explanation in front of me right now, but from what I've heard (and would probably do more research first) Pioglitazone helps new fat cells be created and with weight redistribution (especially belly, thighs, hips, face). It either helps take fat from subq to the other kind of fat or the other way around, whichever is the more "fem" one (sorry typing this out quickly and from memory). So people take it for a few months and gain and lose weight in that time to help redistribution go faster. Less belly/more hips/etc. more feminine fat placement.
I just heard about this drug and I think I'm in love with the concept.
Me too, like I said I need to do more research before I take it but it sounds promising. To diy it for 3 months (seems like roughly how long people take it for, its not good to take long term) its only like 65 bucks too. I feel like for that price and a few months self control it seems worth a try
