I've been on estradiol for 7 months. I've had no fat redistribution and I can't tell if the baby hairs around my hairline are regrowth or recession. First month was on 4mg, 2nd-5th months I went up to 5mg, 6th I went up to 6mg, and now I'm up to 7mg because it's all been useless so far even though everyone says 5mg is enough. Is estrogen just a fucking meme?

Cis man on HRT btw

High dosing doesn't get results and its counterproductive.

You need anti androgens to reliably reduce your DHT to near zero.

HRT does not cause regrowth typically, my guess is what your hairline looks currently is how it will stay. All my hairline baby hairs stayed baby hairs. I got a hair transplant.

7 months is nothing. I am still noticing subtle physical changes at 4.5 years.

Don't ever take medical advice from 4chan. Uninformed Brazilian 19 year olds who get all their opinions from discord and tik tok don't have secret knowledge, they will just sneak brainworms and misinformation disguised as fact.

So you're saying moids that extensively take fin and dua and whatnot are more likely to have regrowth than me with just hrt

>High dosing is counterproductive
How so? Doesn't it lead to faster results Though I'm mostly doing it to be safe because bloodwork isn't currently an option for me

>7 months is nothing
But there should be signs, the only thing new for me is breast buds and sexual dysfunction but I usually hear about people in a similar timeframe experiencing reduced body hair, hip growth, etc

i got skin and fat changes after 4 months of sublingual and 5 months of injections. my ass and legs are like jello now.

Dose and weight?

>>44874447

>>44874447
>>44874554
oh andd uh 4mg sublingual to 4mg injections every 5 days
>>
>>44874554
I should've asked for height too, but nice to know that you saw changes regardless of diet
I'm 5'3 and always been stuck at around 90 lbs so I was worried that I'd have to fatmaxx
>>
>>44874577
i'm 5'8. it was honestly kinda jarring and scary how much my upper body and face lost weight. you can see my ribs from behind now and it was just rlly weird seeing all the spots its gone from and gone into

I wrote a long post responding to these in detail but it got deleted, so I can only type the ultra short version

Duta/minox regrowth is temporary changes to terminal hairs. The only recovery of hair follicles is when traumatized follicles in telogen return to anagen phase. Follicles damage due to DHT is irreversible, any permanent regrowth is from follicles returning to anagen, not DHT damage reversing, so it will be marginal. Using minoxidil forever will just leave a genetically bald man with a lot of sparse terminal hairs not as strong his original hair.

High dosing doesn't lead to faster results. It could potentially slow or negate results especially if you're young. Puberty is complicated and involves growth hormone and signaling mechanisms.

Breast buds and "sexual dysfunction" at 7 months is normal. Its not sexual dysfunction its that your sexual function is now to be penetrated like a woman.

For body hair try mass removal and seeing the regrowth. Sometimes the hair change stalls and you only notice once you get rid of it and it comes back much lighter.

As for people saying they notice hip growth at 7 months, that's delusional. Bone growth is slower than that and so is soft tissue redistribution or growth. Trannies frequently exxagerate this kind of thing.

Any hip growth you get is going to take like 2-5 years to actually materialize.

You really just need to focus on other aspects of transitioning and then revisit your body after 2 or 3 years and decide if you need surgery. You are going to be disappointed for the next ~year If you keep checking the mirror.

My ass didn't actually come in until 2.5 years HRT and when it did it came in all at once because I finally gained weight.

I forgot to say, regarding HRT just ensure your T is in the lower range of cis F lev3ls and your estrogen is like, average for cis women long term. You really only want supraphysiological estrogen if you're trying to induce lactation.
