BTW, Its impossible to test your estrogen levels with estrogen tests
the labs use if your using ethinilestradiol,
since it doesn't show in the blood as estradiol.
So, I'm not sure what level your talking about if your indeed taking this.
That's another of the multiple reasons why ethinilestradiol is no longer used.
So, basically, if your taking EE, you can't know your true E serum levels and
so only results can help in dosage which for normal estrogen is not
a problem, but for EE it is a big problem since higher dosages cause
big health problems. Even if you knew your EE serum levels, it would be
pointless since you don't really know the metabolic activity of this E.
You can only know your T level, which indeed may be low. But, a low
T level and low level of E bio activity (which would be the case if
taking a safe low EE dose) means you would be quasi menauposal
(which would explain the belly fats).
Also, how can people much worse than you if by your own description, you've had no
change in the face, lower body or almost none in your upper body.
Basically, you've had no change and
your saying people on injections are worse? How can you be worse than no change!
If they had little fat and they still have little fat, well they're not worse than you,
they're the same.
There is only two type of injection: EV or EC, valeric or cypionate.
There are also pellets used in the states and possibly available elsewhere (though a doctor has to put them in), but they are quite expensive but convenient in that they put estradiol directly in the bloodstream and they last a long time.
Berleigh, estrogen in natural form is estrogen in natural form, if someone doesn't react to it its dosage or genetics. Valeric acid is merily there to stabilise E in the body (and outside the body). The mode of administration of estradiol is irrelevant if taking an equivalent dosage between modes. So, its possible to get the same devellopment with pills, injections, gels, patches and pellets if taking an equivalent doses. Some of these make it hard to get higher dosages, like patches and gels, but that doesn't change the fact that if you wanted to put 3 patches on, you'd get the same high dosage as someone who injects at top level of safe range.
Also, there are estrofem pill with no valeric acid (but still the possibility of sensibility to dyes and binder) which if used sublingually put estradiol directly in the bloodstream.
Polls on this would be useless unless you put dosages, length of use, etc. Which would contrevene the forum's rule. All bio estrogen's give the same result for one individual no matter how they are administered if you get the same serum level of it.
The main differences between types is the variability of serum levels (which could impact slightly growth speed because receptors can be desensitized to constant high levels (in lower levels, its less a factor)). The desensitization is temporary and quickly reverts to normal once the levels fall. That's another reason why there is a decreasing return on money when you boost dosages.
In this case, if your average level is high, it would be better to not take pills at regular intervals, but take more during the morning, slightly less at noon and more in the evening. Serum levels from injections vary themselves, though not as much as pills or gels can make it vary.
Patches have constant levels, not ideal, but they're usually taken in lower doses which means its less of a factor.
