I feel like I am at a point in my transition where I might benefit from adding progesterone into the equation. However, I have heard wildly different opinions on whether it has any impact at all, and criticism of generally available creams on amazon for not being the same as human progesterone, since they are often derived from plants.

What do you girls think? Are they junk, or are there some out there worth trying?

    Of course, happy to share my experience ❤️

    My doctor actually gatekept me from referring me for bottom surgery for 6 years. Having had it now I realize I should have gotten it many years ago, but my family doctor kept telling me that I wasn’t ready yet. I think in some way she thought she was trying to protect me, but those were some very long, very hard years of waiting. I live in a very progressive community with many laws that advocate for me but gatekeeping is still a very prevalent very real problem here.

      If my doctor and/or psychiatrist make me wait like that, I don’t know what I’ll do. I feel trapped here in this red state. And the way things are going in the US right now… it’s troubling. But one way or another, I’m getting that surgery.
