This seems as good a place as any to mention something that's probably already been said elsewhere-but
I'm new here.
Drawing on my,admittedly limited, experience with hormones(12 years or so ago!) I feel I ought to point out that getting rid of the ol' 5 o'clock shadow is easier BEFORE starting on oestrogen-much,much easier and,depending upon your chosen method,much less painful.Oestrogen slows down beard growth and this can result in ingrowing hairs which are unsightly as well difficult to remove.I speak from experience...........
Another thing- those of you doing or contemplating self-medication by ordering abroad should,perhaps,first of all check up on your government's attitude to such imports.Sabine(?) mentions the behaviour of the norwegian customs and I think that in Germany you won't get off so lightly!Doping in sport and body-building coupled with the resistence of german pharmacies to internet pharmacies(the old guild thinking ) means that you're likely to meet the police,have a possibly embarrassing court appearance and,at the end of the day,a juicy fine to pay.Check your own national situation first
Right,that's my twopenn'orth
Greetings,and keep taking the tablets,
