I've been on high Spiro for a year and on low Estrogen for 2 weeks. I'm either imagining thing or in 2 weeks my skin has turned baby soft!  I keep petting my new soft skin.  Could it be after only two weeks?
I am loving how I am feeling on Estrogen, even if a low starting dose.  I'm using patches and so far no problems with them staying on. My blood work showed my estrogen was 51 just before I started taking Estrogen two weeks ago. My endo wants to get my E to 100-150. Does that seem correct?

My wife says I have never been as smiling and easy going the past 20 years as I have been the past week.

Just trying to find comfort in this "shell" that doesn't fit.  But I am "remodeling" the shell finally!

Even if it is just hydration, isn't it pretty cool?  51 is pretty high for pre HRT, maybe you are more girl from the git go than you thought.  Something near 100  is about my target range.  The kids can have a bit higher before DVT concerns become an issue, but for me less is more.  Estrogen for people like me is magic.  It has reshaped both my body and my attitude. Spiro gives me leg cramps if I take too much so I'm on a low dose there. But my T levels are practically nil anyway.
