Q&A
Q. I have been taking estrogen shots and progesterone pills for 6 mos. but have interrupted usage for 8 mos. Will I likely see any further results in breast enlargement from my A cup size if I return to the injections and pills or will this likely be a waste of money? What about pills for restricting hair growth? My doctor recommended them before I suspended my hormone treatments. What I would really like to know is what is the best procedure for continuing my transition in regards to continuing breast growth and hair growth restriction? posted Nov. 1, 1999

A. To the best of my knowledge, you should continue to see further female development from HRT, until your body has undergone continual treatment for at least 2 years. Or until your body has developed to whatever point it is genetically programmed to. As to any specific hormonal treatments, your doctor and/or endocrinologist is best suited to answer that. They are the experts.
