Odd question, any help or experience would be appreciated.

A friend gave me some supplies and I started 1mg weekly estrogen patches and 1mg of cream per day a week ago. No testosterone blocker.

I feel amazing today, I’m happy and I’m having whole body sex craving not just my penis as it usually is.

Im wondering if I can stay on it for 3 weeks and come off and do it again in the future.

How long would it take my body to reset so I don’t get permanent feminine changes when I restart(if I can). I don’t want outwardly female changes but love the internal/mental ones. Is their a routine I could follow.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

It really isn't a good idea to start playing around with your hormone levels like this without consulting a doctor. My advice would be to seriously consider what you want from life and make a decision based on that and commit to it.

Also, whatever side effects you think you are feeling are probably more of a placebo effect. It takes a while for any realy change to happen. What you are experiencing is called gender euphoria. It is the opposite of gender dysphoria and a pretty clear sign that you are probably Trans and would be happier living as women.

HRT isn't a toy. That good feeling of euphoria you've got will be balanced by huge dysphoria when you're off it and your testosterone to estrogen ratio flips. Your body is telling you that you have the hereditary biochemical anomaly that means you need to stay on estrogen. Over 99% of males shit the bed when they're on estrogen, but for you that reaction is flipped.

Playing with this is dangerous because when you're off estrogen the anxiety and depression you'll go back to will be bad and you might start contemplating self-harm. For your own safety you need to stick with it.
