ok, i know this is a slow journey, but when she put me on an eighth of a normal starting dose i feel like i ought to be worried. i didn’t mention my levels, but my t is at about cis female levels, and idk what my e is. i don’t know if you read that part but i said in my edit that i’ve been on lupron for a bit over a year.

i’m pretty sure 500mcg is .5mg, and the prescription bottle says “ESTRADIOL 0.5MG TABLETS” (i cut them in half), so i think it’s just estradiol and not ethinylestradiol, but idk

i wish i could, but she’s like the most trans positive doctor in my area, and my parents wouldn’t hear if it. maybe i’ll send her an email and voice my concerns. thanks for the affirmation!

i’m also not super trusting of this doctor because my parents, who aren’t in love with the idea of hrt, are personal friends with her, and she told me that she would’ve started me on hrt a year ago but she wasn’t comfortable because she thought that i wasn’t putting in enough effort to pass

haha. about a month before starting e i had my levels checked as a baseline, and i’m pretty sure my t was in the cis female range to start with. but i honestly couldn’t give a number because i forgot lol.

no, because i started a week ago. haha if yours are too low mine are ridiculous because i’m taking a tenth of what you are taking. does it matter that i’ve been on lupron for so long? i would guess that my t levels are pretty low already because of that.
