I’m interested in that feeling of relief some of us get after taking our estradiol dose. I experience it as intense relief that washes over me and bathes me in joy. My color perception dramatically improves at the same time, it’s a very sudden shift.
I seem to only experience it when my blood levels are too low and the new dose enters the blood. With Divigel it’s after 30 minutes have passed, in my case, but only if me levels are low.
Some questions I have:
- If I don’t feel the relief, am I overdosed?
- If I do feel the relief, am I underdosed?
- Why do I and some feel the relief, while others have never felt it?
I don’t expect anyone to know the definitive answers, but maybe you can share your experience? I’m really interested in learning what this is all about.
I use an estrogen implant that lasts about 12 months. When it’s coming to an end, I start to get moody and irritable.
But I started HRT long enough ago that the euphoria side of it is long gone. Now it’s just normal
Damn, jealous. I knew pellets can last long, but 12 months‽ Gimme gimme, that sounds awesome and soooo liberating!
Woah! Where can I get one of those?
Ask your doctor, it’s typically used as a hormonal birth control implant. Seems to be most commonly used for transfem HRT in Australia, but that doesn’t mean doctors elsewhere will say no.
It’s worth noting that these implants are compounded oestrogen, they’re not off the shelf like Implanon.
Stenlake (Sydney) and Complementary Compounding Pharmacy (Ballina) are the two most well known pharmacies in Australia.
