See title. I’m on HRT for over 11 months now, thoroughly enjoying it. I’ve a hunch the dose is a bit low, though. I get androgen blockers every 2-3 months, my last one was one month ago.
Normally my arm hairs aren’t very visible, so I didn’t have much dysphoria from that. However, recently my arm hair seems to be growing a lot and thicker, and I’m concerned. Is this normal?
My mum doesn’t really have a lot of arm hair, nor do other gals in my family.
Ok, so the results are here. Last measure was August (yeah, oops… I got ill around the time I was supposed to have my next test and prolonged it).
Just before starting (March), I had 125 pmol/L for estradiol, and free T was 358.9.
By August, I had 175 pmol/L for estradiol, and free T was 30.5.
Pinging @dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone as well for this!
thanks! Looks like good T suppression - but August was a while ago, and your E was pretty low … what anti-androgen are you taking? It could just be as simple as needing a dose adjustment on your anti-androgen, esp. because those E levels are not likely enough to suppress T on their own.
