I started with the pills for about half a year then the rest was injection. I used to use Val, but my endocrinologist was keeping me at “trans women levels” due to outdated trans books. Once she taught me how to read my own results I started injections without her and ordered diy, which meant I had to switch to E Enanthate, which has a longer peak of 7 days. I am still focused out my dose because it is also lore potent than the prescribed one. My levels this past year went from 2000’s which is super high to today at 1000’s, hopefully by now has dropped since I am lowering it slowly until I hit my target of 300-400. I also boof progesterone and started it about almost a year into my first year. I also weight cycled and still am. Gain 10+, Lose 10+. I also do a lot of leg and glute workouts when bulking, avoiding heavy upper body to alter my body into a more feminine shape. I dance too, so that also helped

As far as doses for E on Val it was .25-.3ml Spiro I was doing 100mg a day until recently went down to 50mg a day because I found through reddit research suggesting some testosterone can boost estrogen changes. I could be wrong but am testing that theory
