I honestly can't say for sure, but I've always taken mine at 7:30 and 7:30. I take spiro both times and estradiol once. I recently moved the E to mornings when I missed a dose.
April 22, 2015, the day of my first face to face pass in gender neutral clothes and no makeup. It may be months to the next one, but I'm good with that!

Being transgender is just a phase. It hardly ever starts before conception and always ends promptly at death.

They say the light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train. I say, climb aboard!

Don't worry about precise timing. In genetic females, the estradiol and progesterone levels change hugely during the menstrual cycle. It's not like diabetes where you'd need to be very careful.

On Spiro I generally take a dose around 5/6am in the morning and the other dose around 5/6pm at night. As others have pointed it isn't an exactly have to be the same everyday. My IM injections I generally do in the mornings.

Ok, this is what works for me.
I take my first spiro dose and all my estrogen in the morning when i get up (7:00),
Then when i get home from work at 17:00 i have the 2nd spiro dose.
Its not perfectly 12 hours apart, but nothing is perfect... I do try and wait at least 2 hours after the 2nd spiro before consuming any alcohol so that it is at least sort of absorbed in m blood.

 Thank you so much for all of the help. It sure is a learning adventure.

6AM, 2PM and 10PM.

Morning when I get up, lunch, and bedtime.

Works for me. Seems to keep me from crashing. At one time I took all once in the morning and by mid-day I was totally miserable. Now with the divided dose I'm fine all day long.

Spiro gets taken with breakfast, around 9AM (at work) along with my other medicines.
