idgaf if it makes your boobs 1 cm bigger or whatever. Who gives a shit about boobs?

It making your body curvier is absolute honscience.

Here’s what isn’t honscience:

-In multiple studies it was observed that menopausal women who took a combination of progesterone and estrogen hrt were more likely to get breast cancer than menopausal women without hrt. Meanwhile, menopausal women on estrogen only were less likely to get breast cancer than menopausal women on progesterone+estrogen AND on neither.

-can make your dht high and make u bald if ur unlucky

-makes you horny (huge negative for me)

-the more hormones you take, the worse for ur liver so not worth

    I primarily take it because I think it’s neuroprotective and calms my anxiety. Being horny does kinda suck tho I yearn a lot more on it. Its not bad for your liver if you boof and the DHT thing is real but I’m in the lucky group.

    Im sure I can increase breast cancer risk slightly than what it is now but I can’t imagine being scared of breast cancer as a trans woman, the risk will be a fraction of what it is for old cis women for ur entire life

      No. Old cis women go through menopause and have essentially 0 estrogen by 60.

      We will always have high estrogen unless we detransition when we get old.

      The studies on trans breast cancer followed trans women for a few years not decades

    I know its touted as honscience but I,'m a believer in it somewhat helping fat distribution and helping curviness

    idc, just the fact that it’s a female hormone that does stuff is enough for me to start it eventually

    breasts cant grow beyond tanner 3 without progesterone so you are genuinely stunting your own development if you avoid it forever
