so i just started hrt and im doing diy E monotherapy injections. im abt to do my 5th weekly injection. im planning on lowering my dosage bc i think i started too high. i was aiming to suppress my T fast but i think it happened already bc my cum is clear and watery and i ejaculate a small volume. my first week i was planning on doing estradiol enantate 11 mg every 14 days, but i didn’t like the huge difference between peak and trough that it would cause so i have been doing 5 mg weekly but that should put me around 300 pg/mL which i dont think is uncommon for monotherapy but it’s working so well i think a lower dose would be better.

i was considering doing 2 mg weekly enantate injections plus 2 mg daily oral E bc ur liver turns some estradiol into estrone and there’s some evidence that E1 helps feminize. is this a reasonable regimen? would planned parenthood prescribe me oral E as well as a testosterone cream/gel to prevent penis atrophy and help with performance ive been struggling since starting hrt? planned parenthood is prob my best option in my area. would they prescribe me 6 months of E if i act like im doing two 2 mg daily instead of one? like they prescribe for 90 days but it will last me 180

    Im not keen on wading into a thread with too much personal experience, but i dont take blockers because of how bad they were for me mentally. a doctor, and myself were keen to get my hormone levels within ‘normal female range’, which is very silly if you think about it.

    I was depressed, lethargic, on the lowest blocker dose. Friends i know have suffered liver damage from blockers in high doses. (i cant remember what i was taking, it was not spiro)

    if you do take blockers you just need to be stimulating bloodflow to your genitals, i was not told this, it took a while recover after i stopped taking them, it was really painful

    I take 4mg of estradiol orally a day, its been half a decade, i feel the way i want to, i dont pass, its not important to me (anymore), other people presuming Im cis feels safer and more comfortable.

    I know it can feel like it at times, but its not a race
