Protocol Timeline

Step Weeks Dose Compound Note
1 0 6 mg Estradiol Valerate Aims for E2 >200 pg/mL to suppress T without anti-androgen. 6-10 mg every 5-7 days.
1 0 100 mg Progesterone (Oral) 100-200 mg at bedtime. Sedating — allopregnanolone metabolite. Added at Tanner stage 3-4 for breast maturation.

Rationale

T suppression via oestradiol alone requires trough E2 above ~200 pg/mL consistently. Biweekly clinical schedule causes significant peak-trough variation — some patients prefer every-5-day community schedule. Monitor VTE risk.
