Title: Injection intervals
Post by: Meeples on November 02, 2012, 08:45:49 PM
I've been on HRT since early June, and started right from the beginning with injections. My doctor has had me injecting every two weeks, and I've heard from a number of others that lesser dosages in one week intervals can have better results and be healthier. Is that just hearsay, or something I should possibly inquire with my doctor about?

Always talk with your doctor.  They are medical professionals.

Oh, believe me, I'd intend on it before ever doing anything! I'd never adjust any of my dosages/intervals without her go ahead. I just wanted to inquire if the two-week interval was common or not, and if others have dealt with a one-week and had better results (or vice-versa).
