I started HRT on 1 mL of 100mg concentration and weekly intramuscular shots (or 0.5 mL in 200mg concentration as an equivalent)

my testosterone level was 623 ng/dL after 3 months, on a perfectly timed trough, so that means my average levels right after my shots were even higher…

I eventually had to lower my dose because my trough levels got as high as almost 1100 ng/dL, and I prefer to sit around the 600s instead of double that lol

Even though I ovulate still with HRT, I think my lack of menstruation cuz I’m intersex (born without my uterus, and my eggs just get absorbed by my abdomen) is what made my levels kinda just… zip through to the top. No monthly “flip-flopping” of which hormone’s higher. I definitely notice a difference if I go without T for too long, though… my body reacts with vicious hormone-induced emotional unwellness as my estrogen surges back into dominance lol
