Has any other MTF had significant side effects when increasing your estrogen dosages?
My daughter experienced what appears to be side effects of estrogen increasing on Mon/Wed/Fri and every other day (this under the direction of an endocrinologist) then recently increasing daily - she has been having hot flashes, nausea and anxiety - we have a call in to her doctor of course, but I wanted to know if others had gone through this kind of thing.
It would be helpful to hear from other's experience with estrogen dosing...
Thank you!
No dosages on the site, hon!
Yes I got migraines when I increase or decrease. It's very slight but I did get them.
I had hot flashes and anxiety attacks when I had my dosage increased. But my current Endo thinks that the anxiety attacks were triggered by something else. Once I went back to my normal dosage, the hot flashes went away, but the anxiety attacks remained. After a year and a half of tests, they couldn't find a cause for the anxiety attacks (that came out of nowhere) and I've been taking a couple of medications to combat them. This has been the only thing that has worked as far as those were concerned.
No hot flashes but on lower doses I would constantly feel cold just around midday. When I was up to a full feminizing dose instead of a low dose my body temp I felt normal. Funny thing is my wife constantly feels cold but she's anemic. Hot flashes only happened when I was off of it, and ugh it was haarrrible.
