Hey /lgbt/! So i have a question for other transgirls. I'm a 20 year old transgirl and I've been on hormones for about 7 months now. I had asked my doctor to up my dosages twice before and she did but I still feel like I'm not really noticing/feeling any changes. I was curious what dosage you're all taking? Is my doctor giving me too little? Currently I'm on: >100mg of Spironolactone >3mg of Estradiol

Have you actually had your hormone levels checked?

I'm 29 and six months in. My doctor had me get up to 100mg of spiro twice daily within the first month, and 2mg of estradiol twice daily (recently bumped up to three times daily because my testosterone was still a bit over the normal female range). As far as results go, I have had breast growth that is maybe at the AA-cup level so far (you can see the beginning of curvature at the base when I'm shirtless, but they just look like man-boobs when I'm in a T-shirt). If you haven't at least noticed some breast budding at this point, chances are that your dose may be too low (the areolae began swelling out a bit after a month or so in my case). However, I should note that I am 6'4", so the amount that is appropriate for you may depend on your height, weight, metabolism, etc. Have you had your testosterone and estrogen levels tested yet?

>>5012191 Is this twice a day? If yes it's typical. If no it's a bit low but might be okay for your levels.
