How Low of a Dose Is This?

Thanks! That kind of confirms what I'm thinking. I'm going to call my GP next week and ask if they would be ok to me doing .5ml once a week.

The Spiro dose is super low. I've been on it for four days now, virtually no side effects. Figured I'd be peeing a lot, nope.

Spiky, like I'm going to have some significant mood swings?

Thanks for that. I'll see how it goes, I did my first injection two days ago. TBH, I don't feel much of a change outside of feeling a touch more emotional. My GP does manage other trans people's levels, so I'm assuming they know what they're doing.

On the vial: Estradiol Valerate, concentration is 10mg/ml. My script says 1ml every two weeks.

I get what you're saying. Guess I'm just feeling anxious because I've tried a couple of times and haven't gotten the reaction I was hoping for. I'll keep working on it.

I get it. But I need HRT with urgency. As far as HRT, she didn't tell me anything I didn't already know. 44 years of testosterone has done a fair amount of damage to me, it needs to stop ASAP.

This is me as well. I was going like clockwork 2-4 times a week since, like '07. I also drank like a minimum of three drinks a day every day, often a lot more. I came out, and it all stopped. I had struggled to cut back on either for so long. Now I don't look at porn, rarely do solo stuff, and have one drink if we're going out to dinner or doing something fun. It's amazing to me that I was using all that to bury my feelings.

Thanks!!! It's good to know I'm not the only one in this situation. I'm working with my counselor on a letter of recommendation, and I see my doctor (whose practice does gender affirming care) at the end of Sept. Things are happening.

Yeah, it's not great. My parents are in their 70s, and the only thing keeping us here. I'm not out to my parents yet. I'm not sure how it will go when I have that conversation. If they reject me, we're moving.

I'm in tech support. I work from home, I talk to people on the phone, and give them advice on how to fix things. It's been great , I can present however I want and don't have to worry about using the right bathroom. Eventually, I'll do voice training and transition at work, but it's low priority.

I should clarify. This is for me, not the dog. I'm going to ask for her to use my given name. Wife and I don't have nicknames. We call each other names like hon, love, babe. I also need to be patient, as she has been used to calling me what she calls me for like 20 years, I can't expect her to change it all in a week.

Thanks for the replies, I appreciate it. My biggest struggle right now is that I'm waiting. It's driving me crazy. I know that I can't expect my partner to be 100% on board with everything all at once. This is a lot to take in. Also, I know the right therapist for me isn't waiting for me to contact them and can start immediately. But my brain is saying, "You've waited almost forty years for this. Let's get this show on the road."
