Hello everyone, this is my first post on Reddit so sorry if it’s a little shit. But basically I’m 23, 6’3, around 175 pounds with solid muscle. I’m looking to finally transition in the next year or so.
One of my main concerns is muscle loss, I’ve researched and there are mixed opinions on this and most people actually want the muscle loss. My goal is to keep as much of it as possible because I like a more built physique (and abs ofc). I was wondering if there’s any other ripped girlies that have any advice around this or if you’d recommend different dosing to keep T levels higher or something but I doubt that’d be a viable solution.
Speaking of dosing, I’ve already gone ahead and ordered estradiol enanthate and my current plan is 4mg injections every week. I’ve read in some guides that you don’t necessarily need to pair this with an anti-androgen and I don’t think that’s true, but if anybody knows please do enlighten me. But other than that I wanted to know if my body weight and height affect this dosing or if it seems ok.
Lastly if anybody has any diy wikis or resources they’d recommend please share, I’ve looked through a bunch but I think I’d like to have a better one to use for quick reference.
TLDR
Want to keep muscle while transitioning and want to know if it’s viable and also if estradiol can really be taken on its own.
