For the next month daily injections of 10 mg. estradiol dipropionate and 50 mg. progesterone were given. These injections were continued for another month, increasing progesterone to 100 mg. daily. Both hormones were then withdrawn, and daily injections of increasing doses of prolactin and somatotropin were given for four days; at the same time, the patient used a breast bump four times daily for 5 minutes on both sides. During this time the mammary veins were visibly enlarged and on the sixth and seventh days 1 to 2 cc. of milky fluid was collected.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.genre=article&rft.jtitle=Clinical+Obstetrics+and+Gynecology&rft.atitle=Disturbances+of+lactation&rft.volume=1&rft.issue=1&rft.pages=%3Cspan+class%3D%22nowrap%22%3E245-%3C%2Fspan%3E254&rft.date=1958-03&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.semanticscholar.org%2FCorpusID%3A42825519%23id-name%3DS2CID&rft_id=info%3Apmid%2F13573669&rft_id=info%3Adoi%2F10.1097%2F00003081-195803000-00021&rft.aulast=Foss&rft.aufirst=GL&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AFeminizing+hormone+therapy" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-pmid10632490-234"><span class="mw-cite-backlink">^ <a href="#cite_ref-pmid10632490_234-0"><sup><i><b>a</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-pmid10632490_234-1"><sup><i><b>b</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-pmid10632490_234-2"><sup><i><b>c</b></i></sup></a></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFKanhaiHagevan_DiestBloemena2000" class="citation journal cs1">Kanhai RC, Hage JJ, van Diest PJ, Bloemena E, Mulder JW (January 2000). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://doi.org/10.1097%2F00000478-200001000-00009">"Short-term and long-term histologic effects of castration and estrogen treatment on breast tissue of 14 male-to-female transsexuals in comparison with two chemically castrated men"</a>. <i>The American Journal of Surgical Pathology</i>. <b>24</b> (1): <span class="nowrap">74–</span>80. <a href="/wiki/Doi_(identifier)" class="mw-redirect" title="Doi (identifier)">doi</a>:<span class="id-lock-free" title="Freely accessible"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://doi.org/10.1097%2F00000478-200001000-00009">10.1097/00000478-200001000-00009</a></span>. <a href="/wiki/PMID_(identifier)" class="mw-redirect" title="PMID (identifier)">PMID</a> <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10632490">10632490</a>. <a href="/wiki/S2CID_(identifier)" class="mw-redirect" title="S2CID (identifier)">S2CID</a> <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://api.semanticscholar.org/CorpusID:37752666">37752666</a>.</cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.genre=article&rft.jtitle=The+American+Journal+of+Surgical+Pathology&rft.atitle=Short-term+and+long-term+histologic+effects+of+castration+and+estrogen+treatment+on+breast+tissue+of+14+male-to-female+transsexuals+in+comparison+with+two+chemically+castrated+men&rft.volume=24&rft.issue=1&rft.pages=%3Cspan+class%3D%22nowrap%22%3E74-%3C%2Fspan%3E80&rft.date=2000-01&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.semanticscholar.org%2FCorpusID%3A37752666%23id-name%3DS2CID&rft_id=info%3Apmid%2F10632490&rft_id=info%3Adoi%2F10.1097%2F00000478-200001000-00009&rft.aulast=Kanhai&rft.aufirst=RC&rft.au=Hage%2C+JJ&rft.au=van+Diest%2C+PJ&rft.au=Bloemena%2C+E&rft.au=Mulder%2C+JW&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fdoi.org%2F10.1097%252F00000478-200001000-00009&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AFeminizing+hormone+therapy" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-Lawrence2007-235"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-Lawrence2007_235-0">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFLawrence2007" class="citation book cs1">Lawrence LA (2007).

After the surgical and hormonal correction, the patient irresistibly developed maternal instincts. Unmarried, the patient obtained permission for the adoption of a child, simulated pregnancy, and was discharged from the maternity hospital with a son. From the first days after the "birth", galactorrhea sharply increased, and spontaneous outflow of milk appeared, with galactorrhea (+++). The baby was breastfed up to 6 months of age. [...] Our message is the second in the world literature describing galactorrhea in a male patient with transsexualism. The first description of this kind was made in 1983 by R. [Flückiger] et al.

Six years ago this patient had been given oestrogens. Both testes and penis were then removed and an artificial vagina was constructed by plastic surgery. The patient was implanted with 500 mg oestradiol in September 1954, and 600 mg in July 1955. The breasts were then developed more intensively with daily injections of oestradiol dipropionate and progesterone for 6 weeks.

He was given an implant of 500 milligrams of oestradiol, and 10 months later, a further 600 milligrams of oestradiol, followed by daily injections of oestradiol dipropionate and progesterone for 6 weeks. Immediately after withdrawal of this treatment, 22·9 milligrams of prolactin were injected daily for 3 days but without effect.

Again, audience members' jaws dropped when it was revealed that beautiful Christine was a male-to-female transsexual who used to be a handsome military officer Chris, and that Lisa had given birth to the couple's biological children using sperm Chris banked prior to gender confirmation surgeries.10 And it was Winfrey's chin that nearly hit the floor as she watched video of Christine breastfeeding the couples' children (the episode is referred to online as "The Mom Who Fathered Her Own Children").
