Title: Varying injection dosage every period?
Post by: mako9802 on January 22, 2019, 11:13:53 AM
Just curious if anyone does this? I take my dose subcut in my belly fat every 5 days.  I was curious about slightly varying the dose up and down every cycle if anyone is doing that with positive results?.. I would hate to waste my estradiol...

I have never self-modified any of my HRT dosages, I leave that to my doctor. 

Hmmmm, Varying your Estradiol dosage "might" be OK BUT have you checked with your doctor? ???   
If not, it is NOT a very wise thing to mess with or vary any prescribed dosages without your doctor's direction. 

As you stated, you do not want to waste your Estradiol and I would think that you could end up wasting it by self-modifying your dosage without your doctor's OK. 
Higher or lower dosages can effectively hijack your HRT progress I would think.
Just sayin'  !!!!

Hugs and well wishes,

@mako9802
ahhhh.... I am glad to hear that you were just curious...    curiosity of is good...
Thank you for easing my mind, I would be worried for you if you were modifying the dosages yourself with your doctor's direction.
Thank you for replying so quickly...

Now, I am curious... about you!  How long have you been on HRT and how is your transition going for you?  You look terrific in your Avatar/Profile photo so I am thinking that things are going well for you.

Hugs and continued well wishes.
