[The First Aria]

So you think it was most likely the progesterone that caused my T and E to drop? I can't think of anything else that would have caused both to drop. I know raising estrogen can lower T, but my E dropped too.

I messaged my doctor, but she seemed to think it was more important to lower T than raise E. I'm going to message her again about going up to 2 patches because I think I've hit a plateau (or even lost some progress).

Sort of NS.   In my case, it did knock my T to the basement, further than even my GD thought it would.  But, it also pushed my E down.  My personal thought, as well as the doctor after my E went above the "safe" limit, it was simply my body boomeranging.  An adjustment period.  My very last blood panel put me at <3 on T, and 207 E.  So, my doctor is going to try to keep me there, but also took me off Progesterone thinking that was the main culprit for my T being too low.  I'm suppose to get another blood panel and exam in late August- early September to see what my T and E are doing now being w/out P for 3 months.

I will post results in my thread when I get them.
