    Hello my friends, I had a question. I was thinking of starting a low dose of estrogen because I would like a more feminine physique but but still go for a more androgynous look. Has anyone done this before, and if so, what are some the good things and also bad things with going this route?

    i would suggest having a heart to heart discussion with your doctor who would be overseeing the HRT, low dose or otherwise. estrogen effects the entire body, brain, sexual response etc. it doesn't only do certain things and not others. it really is all or nothing with hormones, be it estrogen or testosterone

    If you're suggesting self-dosing without a physician's oversight, prescription, and support... don't do it. It's extremely dangerous and unwise.

    If you're under a physician's care, this is something to discuss with your physician.
