Premarin? Pellets? Thoughts/experiences on it post SRS?

I asked my endo about this one too.

He said the implant should be timed so its running its low for SRS. He also said he can remove it, but has never done it. Given how it goes in I can't imagine taking it out.

He's got a lot of patients each year going for SRS, so I imagine they are going to a variety of surgeons.

Just take a moment and realize how illogical this is. Ciswomen may have up to 650 pg/ml of estradiol coursing through their veins at any one time and undergo countless surgeries yearly. Pregnant women who have much higher levels are operated on for caesarian delivery. It's the same as any transwoman who would be getting estradiol directly in her bloodstream, not even one iota of a difference. Double standard, if you ask me.

Its a different substance and possibly a different surface.
Its usually crystallized material.

Both are steroid hormones, both crystallized so I still don't get it.

Surgeons usually accept them.

Concerning timing that would be over a longer period ... which I couldn't imagine many people would do.
Sure having SRS at the end of the phase would be possible. But not waiting much longer afterwards.
And there is an accumulation effect from older implants. They still give off a small dose over a few months. So there is a certain base level.

I don't think it would be too hard to plan to some extent, or at least don't go and get an implant the month before SRS.

I supplement my implant with gel when I'm towards the end of the implant, otherwise I feel really crappy. My endo's got such a long waiting list you can't always get it right. He's also loves his blood tests, so every time I see him I know my levels. It's getting reasonably predictable.

I appreciate not all endo's do it like this.
