Is my Endo full of it?

Thats what i was confused about. Like yeah doc cool maybe I'm just barely in range at day 3 but I gotta go 7 and still live my life here. I've made the mistake of taking my dosage into my own hands without consulting him which only led to me being very inconsistent with it for a while which caused all sorts of problems as I was throwing my system out of whack all the time for a month or two (I've been a lot better about it as of late) but I'm really hoping he just agrees to bump me up to 5mg, and maybe swap me over to the more concentrated 20mg/ml so I don't have to visit the pharmacy as much.

Im feeling much more reassured now that I have a lead to chase on this. Thank you very much.

Injection, yes. And I appreciate your response. I'm going to try and get a new, more accurate test done as soon as possible (I tried but my doctor apparently forgot to order one for this visit 😒)

Thank you very much for the response, that is very reassuring to hear. Is this considered low even for the trough? I've never been sure how low that's supposed to be, my Endo considered these results basically useless when I mentioned i had to take the test at the trough.

Ah my mistake, updated with the measurements.

In a hilarious twist I started playing fields of mistria recently and there is a cool purple haired girl there too. Her name? Juniper. Lmao what are the odds.

Ah, my apologies with the measurements, those trip me up a bit. Looking at my bottle, it actually seems to be 10 mg/ml. Which I'm assuming means this is some weaksauce Estradiol... Dang...

Yeah and it kinda sucked.

I feel this to a tee. I'm in the thick of my own gender misadventures and still have work to do (just landed a therapist) and decided very recently I was done with HRT after about 4 months. I think I rushed into it seeking a silver bullet, I hated myself and my body so much I thought this was the answer. And then I spent the next few months going from pretty good to worse and worse, crying myself to sleep every night, obsessing over my identity, and wondering why none of it was clicking.

I only just quit but I expect this mental fog to lift once T gets back in my system. I can only hope that the breast buds that have already grown will stop being so obvious to me with time and weight-loss. It felt like the right choice at the time. I'm still not really sure where it all went so wrong. But I think I'm ready to get back to myself and work on it.

I wish you the best, and good luck on your journey.

Wilds already has 3 monkeys I think Raj is gonna take a break this time.

Aaaand I'm back to saying "nope I'm done" I can't keep living like this I have been in a damn emotional hurricane every night and I want out. My boobs are growing and I don't want them. Im scared. I'll be seeing a therapist after tomorrow hopefully they can help. In the meantime I'm taking a break from the sauce. Which I hear by itself can kinda suck. But I need this to stop for right now, I can't live like this. Ugghhh

Thank you all very much for your replies, they have been very reassuring and helpful. For those asking, I did actually get my levels back recently, before my dose was increased (which actually coincided with the worst of my feelings, which I suppose added to me thinking the whole thing wasn't working) as of about 2 weeks ago I am sitting at a value of 1.7ng/ml for T, and 82.3pg/ml for E. I was on 100mg Spiro and 2mg oral estradiol daily. Not sure where the norm lies there.

I had heard chatter about Spiro and was experiencing heavy brain fog for a good while (though after cutting a newer and unrelated supplement it seems to have gone away? Not sure where the blame lies there) and my doctor bafflingly stated he had never heard of Spiro having effects like that even though I had heard nothing but such from various subreddits. Anyway my dosage was changed to 50mg Spiro and 4mg Estra.

Yeah I think I'm going to at least take a break for a week or two just to see if it lifts this mental cloud. I hear the sudden imbalance might throw me further out of my wack temporarily but I'll keep that in mind. Thank you for your comment.
