...Just kidding... I know it won't be so fun. I have been on estradiol 2mg and spironolactone 100mg for a month now... And I'm starting to see the effects. Different body odors, softer skin, rounder butt, less sex drive and more calm, and now my nipples are getting sore. I haven't been getting any mood swings, which is good. I actually feel my mood was less stable before I started (I had some depressive moments about two days a week or so, I don't now).
So far, things have been going well. I plan on switching to 4mg estradiol and 200mg spironolactone, which is closer to the average dosage, and should increase the effects. I don't plan on stopping for the moment. My self-prescribed hormone adventure is going O.K. so far.
The only thing is that I might have to wait before I switch to 200mg spiro. I tried it for a few days and while 100mg spiro has barely any side effects, 200mg does make me get tired quicker, and effectively less productive during my day. I believe this is due to the fact that spironolactone lowers blood pressure.
