Can transsexuals use progynova?

Transsexual women can use Progynova (estradiol valerate). Doctors would likely prescribe 4-6mg of it to transsexual women. They might also prescribe about 200 mg of spironolactone a day in divided doses. Of course, when given such a regimen, doctors would check liver function, blood clotting times, prolactin levels (to help prevent or detect a certain type of brain tumor), glucose, and electrolyte levels (if taking spironolactone). So this is NOT something you should do yourself.
