My doctor is upping my dosage from an introductory one to one that's more in line with the standards of care.
Did anyone who has had that same boost have any noticeable changes when going with the higher dosage?

Most definitely... started out on a treatment that didn't work at all. Switched my anti-androgen and it worked, but kept a low dose of E. Finally got some changes from that, but not overwhelming. Last appointment, increased my dosage of E and the changes in the last two months have been stunning (and fast).

Speaking of, I'm learning to crochet solely for the reason that I want to crochet some cute Cthulhu creatures. Sad, I know.

Not really. I'm contemplating learning to knit solely because I want to make a Jayne hat. :P
On topic: I'm about 2.5 months in on introductory levels and have an appt with my doc in 2 weeks for the first follow up. I don't know if she'll up my dosages or not, but it's good to read what some general expectations might be if she does.

Just got my dosages increased too. I'm hoping this really kicks things into high gear. We'll see...

i can testify that the changes, at least for me, were rather drastic. initially i was on a low intro dosage for the first two mths and had some blood work done as my physical developments were faster than what was expected, then it was upped. shortly after my mood swings got out of hand and i was emotionally unstable; this went on for abt two weeks and i had to have my hormone regimen changed. the new regimen, again, was on an intro dosage, which went on for a mth, and after that it was upped to my present dosage of fortnightly injections of 10mg depo-estradiol at my butt. i settled down on my new hormone regimen comfortably i guess after the change, and i was basically i had to change my pants and jeans every three mths for abt a year, just for an example. like what my therapist put it, i was practically blooming, and it has smtg to do with my genetic makeup.
