I never took progesterone, and I only take estrogen. My hormone levels are in line with the levels of estrogen you would see in a biological woman. I don’t have to take spironolactone as the estrogen alone is enough to keep my testosterone production suppressed. Why do you keep referring to it as a cocktail anyway? Who takes oral estrogen? It’s garbage. I take injections.

My milk actually was yellowish when I first lactated but it turned white pretty quick. I don’t see why having insufficient colostrum would be an issue however as my wife also shared in the feeding duties for our child. With both partners able to feed the child we were both able to get a good night’s sleep in shifts. I think it’s a much preferable situation to your typical heterosexual, cisgendered couple, where the woman has to do all the work and both parents are tired all the time from having to wake up every couple hours to go feed baby. It’s such a shame that our species evolved in a way where one party has to do all the work. Lactation is an ability present in biological males, but our stupid evolutionary path decided to keep that ability locked away. It requires modern science to fix that evolutionary flaw.
