I am still on 1.25mg/day of premarin. The effects have been interesting enough that I wanted to evaluate what is going on before I increase the dose.
There is definite breast development now. Although the physical size has not increased much, a change in the consistency of the tissue inside is noticeable, and the nipples are getting a little puffy. If I brush against the nipple or run into something, I definitely notice it! My breasts are getting quite sensitive.
Also, I noticed that the ring of fat around my belly (which was caused by sitting in a cubicle for nine years) is gradually moving downwards. My waist measurement and weight have not increased, but my hips are beginning to grow.
Even on a low dose, things are starting to happen. This, to me, is a good sign. Hopefully, I will not ultimately require a massive and dangerous dose.

Congrats Heather on the start of the changes
Well, it's hard to divide 0.625mg, but for larger doses, I agree with Laura. I do that with my herbal supplements.
Heather, that's great news. Did your doctor decide on the Premarin herself, or did she discuss other options with you, and you two decided on that one? I'm just curious (as always).
