Sorry the article I was talking about is in French and hasn't been translated yet. If you still want the link I could send it.
Or might take a bit of tine and my translation won't be perfect but I could try.
yay yes
there are some options, peanut oil, sunflower oil, soy oil in progesterone medications
does this makes difference? eg allergy
besins utrogestan maybe(sunflower oil)
Take a look at the articles here: https://transfemscience.org/articles/#progestogens
Anecdotally, progesterone is kind of hit or miss. For some people, it really unlocks the potential of HRT while it does nothing for others.
fun, idk need to try, start from 100mg to not overdose accidentally
From the sources that I'd read. It's not clear that prog will help boost feminization but to me it helps and have benefits.
Here's my take from testing. (Went from 100 mg to 200 because the pharmacy made an error and gave me more :p).
(Rectal is the best way to have the best effects, oral made me a bit eepy, and but higher "soothing" effect)
Noticeable effect for me 1 : libido (went up but could be due to external factors)
2 : breast growth increased (them again I don't have a way to compare if I hadn't)
3 : mood. I feel better with it in general (then again could be linked to external factors too)
4 : smell (my armpit smell changed with prog)
5 skin? I haven't noticed much about that. Maybe a little bit of acne started but it stopped soon after.
I'm going to find the article (backed by scientific researches). I've read about it that sums up quite clearly what to expect or not.
Another thing about the wait of 1 or 2 years before taking progesterone is unfounded to me. Honestly I started month 3 and see only benefits on my end.
As for administration technique. I do rectal when I feel it's "ok". Otherwise orally with water. I use some lube for rectal administration.
As for your syndrome. I have no clue sadly.
im a 13 months on E, so is not early
does rectal prog doesnt have DHT risk? as im understand is best way to avoid that
