Cycle Help for a Female Already Taking Hormones

[Haw2]

My Aunt approached me with a question I didnt feel qualified to answer but I told her I knew where to find the information.

She is a 56 year old, post menopausal, former athlete who wants to get back into training and wants to try her first cycle. The complicating factor is that she is already taking hormones as a result of having a rather major surgery some years ago. Her goals are to gain strength and performance, some size and of course a little fat loss. Her diet, when she trains, is pretty amazing and her fitness experience is pretty extensive.

Here is what she is taking:

- Bio identical estrogen 5mg once a day
- Progesterone 30mg daily
- Test 2.5 mg daily

What are your thoughts?

HORMONE REPLACEMENT FOR *WOMEN*

I don't cycle, and take hormones only for health reasons, so I have no experience here. But I don't see any theoretical reason why she can't just take whatever cycle she wants to take and still take her oestradiol and progesterone at the same time. My doc thinks it is not good for women to take male hormones without supplementing female ones, so in his practice this is how the HRT is done.
