Title: estrogen blood levels
Post by: Riley Skye on October 21, 2014, 12:33:18 AM
So as not to break any rules I won't mention my dose, I'm just curious of others experiences. Over a year ago I started injections, I was put at a higher dose. I was told that over time pills have a chance to damage my liver and my doctor didn't want to risk it, plus my levels were still real low. For a year my blood levels were a little high but still in the safe range. Then over the summer they spiked and my dose was lowered by roughly a quarter. Now my blood levels are in a safer range. Has anyone experienced this with their hormones, I'm just really happy I get more bang for my buck!

PS. My testosterone is at normal female levels, not completely gone. I'm very happy with it as I'm finding that I have plenty energy for exercising and a pretty good sex drive but no partners unfortunately lol
