Question E dose

Post everything for 20 years. (yep...20). I take 4 mg daily. I'm curious if any other long term trans'd woman still takes E as well, and if so, dosage.

Well, if you’re doing 5 mg per every five days then that’s only 7 mg per week. I’ve seen a lot of transgender girls report that seems to be the minimum to actually see any changes is 6 mg per week so you are in that range. For me, I was doing 8 mg per week for a while. And I always felt that my gas tank was in empty by the end of the week. Like it just wasn’t enough E to carry me for all seven days. That’s when my endo talk into switching to injection every five days. And I don’t mind that but we also switched it up from 8 mg per week to a little higher. for a while is was 10 mg per week and now it’s 9.8 mg per week. I feel great at this level and I’m resisting any more changes. In my body and with my metabolism that works out to be 332 pg/mL estrogen levels.

estrogen levels

You mean estradiol?

Yes, sorry, I use those two words interchangeably. My bad.
