\subsection{How does monotherapy work?}\label{2-3}
In simple terms, the brain does not care which hormone it has, just as long as it has enough. If there are consistently enough hormones in your body, it stops producing more. The “consistent” part is what injections are capable of that other administration routes struggle with. Trying to do sufficient monotherapy on pills, for instance, is very likely impossible in most situations. In more specific terms regarding \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal_axis}{the HPG axis}, \textit{luteinizing hormone} (LH) and \textit{follicle-stimulating hormone} (FSH) are suppressed by increased serum \textit{estradiol} levels, thus inhibiting GnRH production and by extension testosterone production in the testes.

\subsection{What are the different types of injectable estrogen?}
The four main types used for HRT are \textit{estradiol valerate} (EV), \textit{estradiol cypionate} (EC), \textit{estradiol enanthate} (EEn), and \textit{estradiol undecylate} (EUn). Each of these is an “ester” of \textit{estradiol} and will be converted to \textit{estradiol} in your body.

Please note that in some regions pills are confusingly sold with the name \textit{estradiol valerate}, but this section only refers to the injectable form.

\subsection{Does feminization / breast development stop after X years?}\label{11-6}
\textbf{No.} There is not an arbitrary time where estrogen suddenly stops working. Various numbers are given and usually it’s either 1) entirely made up or 2) pointing to a study that only went for X years. Doctors in particular love to tell trans women not to expect more than B cup breasts (which isn’t even how breast sizing \textit{works}, but I digress) or for any growth after 2 years, but this is simply not true. There are cases of people who restarted estrogen after stopping for many years and still experiencing new growth.
