@TessaCameronxoxo Progesterone has made me feel out of it, almost ill sometimes, similar to PMS symptoms. Soon I'll be able to cut back on that, and Estradiol eventually. It's hard to say if removing the Estrogen right now would make things better. I'll talk with my endocrinologist after my surgery.
Is there any reason that your endo. doesn't give you spironolactone as the anti-androgyn? Most trans-women that I know take spiro and it does a great job of limiting testosterone to less than 100. We usually take between 100-200 mg a day. It does have some side effects, but they don't bother most people.
I have been considering an orchiectomy because I can't take spiro due to a rare bad reaction that I have to it.
@shotgun7 I am not sure, although it would be good not to have the side effects. I am a vegan, and so I was worried about cutting out sources of food because of having to limit my potassium intake because of taking spironolactone. If I get the surgery soon, then it won't be an issue anymore. That's why I'm starting the process soon, so I'll be ready.
Did it make you sick and make u feellike your going crazy when u had this done? When i take estrogen It makes me sick

You should look on the eunuch archive (eunuch.org) There is information on Drs who do castration for about $2000.00

@farharbour I don't know that a website set up as a message board will be a great source of reliable information, but I will look at it.
