Relax and breath.

I was asked what dose I wanted, low or full. I chose full dose. With that said I was give 2/3 dose of e and full dose of spiro. Three months later I asked and my E was upped to full dose. I was also prescribed finasteride which I have stopped taking (my T is close to 0).

My normal T levels are about 80. That is according to the last test. The first time i had it checked, it was 74 I think. I hope this will help with my dosage.

If the units are ng/dl, you are in the upper end of the feminine range. I am assuming you are MTF and if so, blockers shouldn't be needed and estrogen alone would be enough.

Yes, that's correct. I am mtf. So my T levels are actually a blessing. Cool. I think my levels have never been very high, at least not since I was around 12 or 13.
