Yesterday, at 1 year 11 months and 14 days since the start of HRT I had my latest appointment.
Currently I am 188 lbs, actually 2 pounds heavier than my initial visit. 5' 10" tall and wear a size 40 D bra,. Which sounds more impressive than it is. My poor boobies are kinda lost on a 40 inch chest. My doctor said they appear more rounded and she called them a tanner stage 3+. I looked it up. This basically means that I have the breasts of a 13 year old girl. Not satisfactory! We discussed upping my estradiol and the doctor ordered some tests. The results are
17-beta estradiol 83PG/ML
Testosterone 43 ng/dl
Estradiol seems a little low to me. I'll speak to her tomorrow about whether we're upping my estradiol dosage but what's really important is that I'm a happy, healthy woman, and most of the time I actually believe it.
