Hi,

I began transitioning from male to female early this year. I went from 2mg of estradiol to 4mg a day now. It will be close to a year in December since I began this journey. While I am happy, I am also discouraged. I say this because I am only taking estrogen and nothing else. My doctor says that is it better for development long-term. I feel as if this is going by too slow. I know other trans women who are on t blockers and estrogen and they transition so fast; they get results, whereas in my case, I don't see much results. I have some breast growth and my skin is smoother but that is about it.

Do I ask my doctor for blockers? What should I do?
