Hi, Kim here, I have been trying to MTF since I was 45 yr old. I was originally on Two different prescription tabs {Premarin and Cyproterone Acetate} for approx two years with good results, then i developed clotting in my right leg. I stopped this for another two years then went back cyproterone for another three years. In doing so, I had more bad luck with a touch of Osteoporosis with a bone density scan so i had to stop again. maybe this MTF wasn't meant to be. Today I'm trying herbs such as, Fenugreek Seeds, flaxseed and Soy products mixed together. I do have a size 22c cup only with belly fat. I would be nice to be able to get what you want without the Hasel of clotting. Open to any ideas. cheers. Kim.

Hello, Kim.

Your doctor may recommend that you take steps to reduce your risk of developing blood clots, such as increasing physical activity and quitting smoking. You may also need to take medications that can help reduce the risk of developing blood clots.

Additionally, your doctor may suggest hormone therapy and medications that can help protect your bones and reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis (bisphosphonates, and selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs)).

There are also lifestyle changes that can help reduce your risk of developing osteoporosis, such as increasing your calcium and vitamin D intake, and engaging in regular weight-bearing exercise.

It is also important to be aware of the potential side effects of hormone therapy and to discuss them with your doctor.
