If anti-androgens should not be taken with estradiol, and testo levels may squash the effects of estradiol, how should testo levels be reduced?
I currently take spironalactone, and oestrogen in a drop form, which has had positive effects on me though nothing too drastic, perhaps such as Penny is looking for. However I'm looking at changing the form of oestrogen, or moving on to estradiol; any advice would be greatly appreciated.
In conjuction with the above I have tried some of the creams that are supposed to reduce hair growth, but with no noticeable effects.

For the last 6 months I have been taking 100mg spiro daily, as well as oestrogen. The oestrogen (from Transformation) comes in drops that you put on your tongue. It does not say on the bottle what the exact amount of oestrogen is contained in it. As directed I take 4 drops in the morning and 4 at night. I have noticed some changes, softer skin, more breast tissue, but I would like to go onto something more "serious".
Of course I know that "home-made HRT" is not ideal, but I am very careful, and would like advice from knowledgeable people such as yourselves on what would be a safe, but effective regime. I'd like to rid myself of body and facial hair entirely and realise that electrolysis may be the best way to do this. I'd really like bigger hips too! I also have troublesome skin, prone to spots, and I think the spiro may have aggravated this, though perhaps that won't continue indefinitely. Would estradiol help my skin? Would anti-androgens be more effective than the spiro? I appreciate all your comments.

i have quite blonde hair, i've heard that laser isn't effective. i wonder if the transformation creams i've tried in conjuction with spiro (or anti-androgens in the past) are also less effective with blonde hair
