Best time to take Estradiol?

[Ademie]

Hello!!! First let me introduce myself. My name is Ademie and I am on this long journey . After 1 year and 9 months of living full time as a female I finally started Hrt(MtF)
I am so existed and feel I have a reason to wake up again in the morning. : ) I found this informative site well trying to figure out a few things. Would it be better to take my estradiol in the morning? Or maybe before I go to bed? I also am taking Spironolacts daily. One when a wake up.(Around 4am for work) and the 2nd dally one around 6-7pm. Right now I have been taking the Estradiol right when I wake up with my Spironolact. Just wanted to hear other woman's advice who have gone though the same thing!

Thank you for any help <3

Mod edit: No dosages please

I take mine in the evening for two reasons. One, I'm sometimes a little ditzy for a half an hour after and that's not a problem when I'm home for the night. Two, I'm at my calmest and most rational after that and my biggest stressors are at home.

FYI. It's against the TOS to post dosages. You should edit them out. If you don't the mods will.

I think that as long as you take it around the same time each day you will be fine.  I normally take mine first thing in the morning

  The best time is generally when your doctor says to!  My dosage is split between breakfast and dinner.  I don't like to be awake long in the morning before taking it and I try to stick to a two-hour window day-to-day for each dose.  Both my Spiro and Estrace containers say to take them with food but my doctor said it didn't matter.  My doses are still ramping up and I believe the intention is that I'll be taking one at all three meals instead of one or two big hits in order to keep my levels as smooth as possible throughout the day.

I've always taken it once I get out of bed and do my usual morning routine. It's never been an issue.

I always take spiro and estradiol both in the morning and the evening. I try and take mine around 7-8am and then around 7-8 in the evening as those times are generally when I eat (although my changing work schedule might alter that a bit).
