Hi girls :)
So I visited my endo today and she said that my e lvls are ok but she thinks that it could be/get higher...
so I was on an average dose (oral e )and she increased that by 2 mg...
so my question is,,,would things move faster now?
would I see different changes?
would more emotional changes occur?
I ve been on e for one month and 3 weeks the only changes I ve seen (besides the ones caused by androcur) are softer skin ,breast development, a little fat redistribution just a liiiitle ...pretty much that...and the emotional changes of course which havent been THAT intense
my e lvls are 48 pg/ml and t lvls 21 ng/dl
I d love to hear experiences about how things turned out for you , any advises maybe atc
ty
You're too soon into it for anything other than mental/emotional changes regardless of the dose you're on. Be patient (I know it's tough!) the changes will come soon enough. As for me, the mental/emotional came after a few days and everything just had more depth/vibrancy to it. The physical changes started kicking in at about 7 months, and it's been a slow, steady process.
I can't discuss actual dosages, but my hrt regimen has been altered a few times. I started with a dose that was suitable for postmenopausal women, then I was put on a dose that was considered a lower dose for transwomen and then it was upped to a dose that it considered moderate to high depending on who you ask. To be honest, I didn't notice any major changes until that last increase (in October). Yeah, I saw changes early on, but they were minimal at best (compared to what I've been experiencing). That's not to say it was a rapid change once it was adjusted. It's still taking it's sweet time and is very much a process, but I'm seeing changes and they are progressively noticeable whereas before it was pretty minimal at best. As for emotional changes, I didn't notice anything until around December. At that point I felt my hormones really kick in on an emotional level which is odd because I started e in June. Oh well, maybe I was just immune to the lower dosages or I'm a slow adapter. Either way iI'm getting to where I want to be, so that's all that matters (even if it's slower than I had hoped). In any case, that's only been my experience.
Good luck and hope the new dose works for you! :)
