It has been many months that I have been on such low doses and any time I try to talk him into raising them, he goes on and on for a half hour about the dangers of higher doses. I've done my research and he knows this. Im willing to take that risk and he knows this too. How do I get my stubborn endocrinologist to raise my dosage?
He currently has me on a mere 2mg oral estrodiol and a useless 50mg of Spironolactone. My blood tests show that these doses are doing almost nothing, so there IS proof on paper.
What do I do?
My doctor started me off on this exact dose for the first five months which allowed my body to gradually start the change. After five months, he doubled my doses for the last 6 months. My numbers came bac great on the T, but slightly lower than I want on my E. I will ask him to up my E dose when I see him. But if your endo isnt willing to do this, then yeah, shop around for another. My doc isn't an endo. He just does this for trans people.
