Sometimes you just gotta trust the doc on some things. Btw, how much e does he have you on right now?

Also, I would factor FFS in until 2 years of HRT. Not one year. Heck, sometimes I would even say 3 years.

...but by PM please - we can has house rulez? :).

Also, some doctors (and this makes a lot of sense) recommend starting on a low dose and ramping it up slowly, as the body tends to fight back less that way (and when "fighting back" means producing more testosterone, you don't want that).

It's true... many amazing things can happen on hormones!  And Padma's right about doctors doing what they can to stop the body's defense mechanisms against HRT.
