[Heaven's Night]

Blood test came in, stuff was weird.
I've been on a dose of 7mg, injected in 0.175ml, every ten days, of estrogen for the last month and a half, and it seemed to be working out? I expect my trough to be at 250 pg/ml, but my blood test came back at 480 pg/ml for Total Estrogen.
That feels way too high.
It also seems I have a slightly elevated platelet count, which I think can be caused by higher doses of estrogen. So, I need to figure out why there's so much more estrogen in my body than there should be.

Edit: I realize now that was total estrogens, and so includes estrone, it's probably on level, just, should have measured E2.

Just to note out something on levels, what we get is not tied to the dose as in some hard coded fact, also recommendations with levels seems to be BS, WPATH in particular is just silly. But 480 pg/ml is high. My E came as 517 pg/ml last time and my doctor (she's trans woman also) didn't say a thing about it, she said its perfectly fine, meaning not too much.

I can't tell what your personal perfect balance is, but my labs have been 345 and then 517 pg/ml and on both, I've felt fine and had nice body changes. Seems that my mental state is the first indicator about if its good or not. Trying higher messed up my emotional state, I was told I behave as if I'm pregnant, going lower than where I'm now (0.08ml/3.2mg of 40mg/ml EV every 3.5 days) causes my dysphoria to flare up. Also body changes totally slow down a to a crawl on higher levels.

You could try to lower your dose so your levels come out around 300-350 pg/ml? That might work for you better? Are you on EEn as you say you're injecting every ten days? Higher than expected levels can be caused by your metabolism and/or E sensitivity, Lotus is more knowledgeable on the exact science on how this works. I say drop your dose a bit a see how you feel and get labs booked after a month or so?
