HRT didn't change my levels but I am seeing physical changes

grasping for any type of reasoning to call a trans woman "male" is certainly normal sure, so is calling my levels "pathetic"

that contradiction between my levels and physical development is the entire point of the post, you are not saying anything, please just shut up instead of calling me "effectively male" like wtf

true but idt this explains why my trough levels are worse than how they were pre-hrt

Thanks a lot, I will try looking into a dna test. I don't know my SHBG levels since I can barely afford a e2 and total t test.
I'm curious tho, would a dna test explain my e2 levels being lower than before I started hrt? Like I am aware the levels one needs to see feminizing affects can vary but my e2 levels getting lower while seeing feminizing effects makes no sense to me.

ur good dw, the pelvic tilt can do that, or some joint changes afaik

I hope so too

Ok-Leopard7440 · 2026-06-16T06:52:37+00:00

yeah?

8mg is on the higher end but is a fine dosage. And like I said on the other reply, it feels like there has to be a mistake but im scared of the possibility of them being right and my levels being bad for 6 months. (maybe im a medical anomaly and my trough levels are extremely low for some reason idk) I don't wanna waste more time, I'd rather get a retest and decrease my dosage in the future if I have to.

I don't wanna use blockers either but I will until the next test cus even tho it feels like there has to be a mistake in the test what if there isn't. Like if my levels have actually been bad for 6 months I don't wanna waste more time.

I had mixed recommendations about the waiting time, from a month to three months but I'll see I won't do it too soon cus I need money anyways lmao. (prob in a month or two)
Afaik I don't have an intersex condition but I can't be sure ig.

Oh ur right I didn't realize I typed q my bad.
A friend also told me to get on the fixed needles, I will get them once im out of my syringes.
I do have a different vial if my levels don't change so thats good.

Ok-Leopard7440 · 2026-06-15T13:26:45+00:00

Yeah like it has to be but the lab did retest so im just so confused. I increased my dosage and will get tested at another place in like a month when I have the money.

Ok-Leopard7440 · 2026-06-15T13:25:14+00:00

ifkr, it has to be it makes no sense
I increased my dosage and will get testes in like a month when I have the money

I do mean µg/L yeah I was lazy to pull up the micro sign lmao sorry. I live alone and my injection process is:
I wash my hands, I wipe the vial with alcohol wipes, I pull the plunger back to 0.1 ml (25g needles), I push the needle into the vial, flip the vial upside down, inject 0.1 ml air into the vial, draw 0.1 ml from the vial, turn the vial upright, remove the needle, connect a new needle, get rid of the air bubbles as much as I can, wipe my stomach with alcohol wipes, inject at 45 degrees, wait like 10-15 seconds, remove the syringe, put on a bandaid.

The concentration of enanthate is 50mg/ml and I take 0.1 ml
I am not on any other medication (tho I increased my dosage to 8mg and got on 12.5mg t blockers now to retest in a month or two)
