Title: 3 Month Check Up.
Post by: Tamika Olivia on January 14, 2016, 02:02:22 PM
So, I'm at a doctor's office at the top of a mountain in rustic Arkansas. Been on Estro and finnestarine for 3 months, and it's time to check levels and adjust medications. My hope is to walk out with a spiro script and some higher dose estrogen.

So, my levels were in average female range with the estro and the finnestarine. We kept the estro steady and I asked to switch to spiro, because it's cheaper and (reportedly) a better blocker. Next appointment is in 6 months.

Congrats, I just had my 3 month checkup as well. My E levels were low but my dosage is pretty low too. I am not on blockers because I for some reason don't produce much T anyway.  I love not having to take it and I love what the E has done so far.
