Guys, you are unlikely to get around gyno since none of you seem to use SERMs. I don't get why you waste money on bica. Use high dosages of estrogen, 6mg or higher, which actually does regrow hair and suppresses testosterone anyway. Initial high dosages of estrogen seem also to be related with poor breast development according to various studies, although there is dispute, it seems to be the case. You are doing yourself a disservice with your low-dose + expensive blocker approach. You're wasting time and money.
This is an excellent comment and is basically what I have arrived at. If you want success via the HRT route, then be prepared to shoot for very high estrogen levels for at least a year. A person needs a shed strategy because people who drop out because of sheds never get any where. Many people on this thread in the past have dropped out due to shedding, which was often correlated with the use of CPA or spironolactone. I have basically huge knockers and I did exactly what Mr. Fuchsilein (or Ms.) indicated. Several years of low-dose CEE's followed by ten months now of pregnancy levels of estrogen and it you truly fear breasts (which are very rare, I swear) then start on something like 6mg to 8 mg SL and that should put most people far above ~200 pg/ml to ~300 pg/ml that is often shot for. The psychological effects of estrogen can be so soothing that people might be addicted to the feelings from the higher estrogen levels. Estrogen is like weed while T is like Ritalin, creating a very charged mindset. I like to joke that people who try HRT can check out any time that they want, but they can never leave.....
