Great to hear from you Tempest! I just sent a PM, but have caught up on your progress here.
I've sent you mine, but maybe just posting for the other ladies too
I'm nearly 3 weeks after seeing Miss Whitcroft
Taking Metformin + Vit B6, plus Progynova
The same old feelings re the patch, swelling boobs and a feeling of bloatedness all over.. She suggested dropping the patch dose from 50 x 2 to 25 x 2.. so I've done that.. and taking the progynova only every other day. I still feel the same

Weight has not shifted AT ALL and I am so frustrated, the 10lbs are strapped to me, so it seems, despite now a low carb diet and doing lots more exercise.. I'm at a loss re that.
In a few weeks I can add T, so maybe, just maybe that will finally do the trick re balancing everything out... If not, I'm going to have to abandon this, as Tempest has, as the other symptoms (insomnia and flushes) have only been relieved in a minor way - not that I was having flushes more like 'surges' in the middle of the night..
I'm prepared to give it a few months and see how the Testosterone works when my estrogen is at a higher level, maybe it's the balance that's been off with me previously
hope everyone is well!
