I unfortunately live in a not very trans friendly state in the US (more like trans hostile tbh) so I’ve been doing my HRT pretty much solo/without seeing doctors. Been doing mono estradiol enanthate for about a year now following the manufacturer’s recommendations (0.15 mL every 7 days) and wanted to try getting on prog but i’m not sure what dosage i should be at. any recommendations?

    I assume you’re seeing the effects you want from estradiol? Otherwise I’d suggest adjusting that first.

    I’ve been using bioidentical micronized progesterone for a while now, and it has improved my sleep, mood and libido. I’m currently on 200mg oral, but I’ve also been on 100mg both oral and rectal. Didn’t notice much difference in the end, so I’d recommend starting with 100mg oral and going from there if you feel it’s not enough.

    I never got the “drunk” feeling taking it, but if you do then rectal is probably the way to go.
