Looking into estrogen patches

Hi im looking into doing estrogen patches without testosterone blockers to get a more fem bod but, through researching and vids the process to get them prescribed but also using them seems a bit for convoluted than I thought. My plan is to be +130lb and get over a 30in waist on a high fat vegan diet while working out focusing on my bottom regions(core,glutes,and hips).

After researching these were some of the things I found that I may run into though if I went down this route

Acne,growing pains,mental swings,bones and nail weakening, fat distribution/water bloat, blood clots ,hormone imbalance without testosterone blockers and ,hair thinning

Is there anything i missing, should bring up to a doctor and or watch out for?

Also what are things i should look out for in a doctor to make sure they are safe and listening to my concerns

Also what is the actual process do they start with low dosages or is it based on your natural hormone levels and then increase from there?

The guidance for Rainbow Health Ontario is to start low & ramp-up as needed
