Hi,
I wrote in several other forums, spoke many times to my endocrinologist and therapist, but I sadly havent found any answer to my problem. I'm 3 years in hrt and had very got results in the first 18 months and I passed nearly 100%. First I was on patches, then changed to pills because my e2 levels were very low, but they remained so and I asked for gel. My e levels first were to high ( 600 pmg) and so my dose was reduced. my levels are now in the upper female range, though I am on a very tiny dose.
I was on spirinolactone for the most part of my transition and lately changed to androcur, because of all the effects I noticed and the dry skin I linked to it. I'm also trying progesterone now. But sadly I dont see any changes for the better.
over the last year I encountered the following issues and it just gets worse every day. I just have a fourth of the normal female testosterone level, so it just cant be because of this:
-lose of fat tissue, though I eat alot ( thyroidlevels are midrange)
- lose of hair
-increased bodyhair
-shrinking breasts
-new facial hair ( I barely had any before transition)
- heavy moodswings
mostly because the lose of fattissue I look very androgynous or even male in my face and my hands and feet lost all femininity. Not to speak about my toralso.
the chanfes are incredibly obvious and I have problems at my work, myrelationship suffered and I dont pass all the time.
I suffer and I dont know why this is happening to me, neither do the people supporting. me.
is there any possible way, that estradiol loses effect on the receptors over time, or that receptors for it regulate down? Or could there be any other reason?
please help me 😔
