I have been thinking of Self - Medicating. I wondered about starting taking a low dose of Estrogen, and wondered if starting by using a quarter of the lowest patch (25) for a month and doubling the dose in month 2 and 3 would be a good place to start. Or are my proposed does too low.
I understand that self - medication is not a good idea and would plan on getting medical checks after I start.
Any comments on this matter would be gratefully received.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Susan and welcome.
Most of us on here are generally taking various herbs etc, rather than synthetics and whilst you will undoubtedly find much helpful info here, you'll probably find more specific help on DIY HRT on this site: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/TsDoItYourselfHormones/info
They will be able advise on specific hormones, dosage, do's and don'ts, etc.
