Title
I’ve been on HRT for 6 months, with 5mg weekly injections for the last 3 of those months.
3 months ago, my E was 22 pg/ml, now it is 333 pg/ml.
Doctor says that is too high and is going to to reduce me to a “maintenance dose”. Just wanted to check with other people if this is consistent with their experiences. Thanks!
For context, I know we have this chart
in the transfem literature, but my doctor also provided this table with my results:
Female
Follicular Phase: 12-233 pg/mL
Ovulation Phase: 41-398 pg/mL
Luteal Phase: 22-341 pg/mL
Postmenopausal: <138 pg/mL
Which seems to suggest that my level would be acceptable.
yes, your levels are totally acceptable … your doctor is operating on old and limited guidance, showing they don’t know much about trans healthcare
