My labs results using 2x .100mg/day Grove patches + 50mg/day spiro was spot on:
Estradiol: 220 pg/mL
Testosterone: 25 ng/dL
I happened to meet with my endo today and she was very happy with the numbers. I should point out that I tested closer to peak than trough. I replaced my patches on a Monday evening and got tested on Tuesday afternoon. Even though patches are supposed to have a very even delivery rate, I've found that I can "feel" the highest E level the day after Patch Day, followed by a reduction for the next couple of days until I'm due to replace them. Most notable is breast tenderness, which always peaks on the day after I replace the patches. I still have a pretty fast metabolism, so I think I "burn up" the medication faster than some.
