It's not the method of delivery. Intra-venous injections are a very effective delivery method. Hormones are delivered straight in to the bloodstream. Not processed by the liver and not broken down. I would have a talk to with your doc regarding dosages, injection intervals and your blood test results.

Transdermally, nasally, subcutaneously, sublingually, intramuscularly, estrogen also goes straight into the blood without having to go through the liver. Vaginally, in ciswomen and rectally, some to most of it.

I did. And then that's why she switched me from the subcutaneous injections once a week to the intramuscular once every two weeks, with an additional small dosage e pill on top of it. She said that all the bloodwork looked normal and that there was nothing specific in the numbers that would explain my lack of results (which she agreed upon examination that the changes were definitely far less than average with the length of time I've been on HRT), and she said sometimes different methods of delivery work better for different people for whatever reason. I'll also note that my endo is a trans woman herself. So hopefully she's right. I have had renewed boob tingles since switching that up. I hope they continue and growth goes along with it.

I would drop the spiro. The e will drop the t level on its own . My dr was ok with me not taking a blocker. Risks are to high. There is a fb hrt group that has a lot of good info and a mod with 30 yrs hrt exp.

Just my .02
