What di you decide to start with?

Seems like you're going to make a woman of me yet...lol..

Lmao, of course, how much time do have to work with    . It's almost been 2 yrs of HRT (1 year DIY, 11 months under doctors care HRT). I was put on 2 mg oral estradiol and 50 mg spiro (by my doctor) which I thought was low, but, I went along reluctantly. My next lab showed 2-3x normal female range estrogen and 25 ng/dL total T, at present its about eunuch amount....or zero lol. 

One thing I've learned, metabolism changes the plasma levels of sublingual oral hrt, meaning 2 mg of E2 can be raised in plasma circulation to a higher overall bioavailability.
