It's been awhile. From my last blood work my E levels were at 134, while my T levels were 29. My Endo had me on .5 ml of EV weekly and 100mg progesterone daily which I have been boofing. After speak with my Endo he has seen no reason to change my protocol since my levels are with in range (and by range he means E between 100-200, and T below 50) while my levels are in range, I have not seen much of any kind changes. He said he wants to have me meet back in six months now... I hate how this is a const back and fourth of do what I want you to try and come back in 3 months or 6 months.
In all honesty I've been taking .2 more than he has been prescribing, the entire time. If I were to have been doing what he wanted Id still be bellow range. And since he feels he has done his part and is not open to any suggestions or anything I'm going to do my own thing. I had gotten my hands on some E from Lena. I'm going to up my e to a total of 10mg a week split into 2 doses of 5mg each on every 3.5 days give or take.
So far I've been doing that for about 2 and half weeks and I feel great. Splitting the dose has kept my levels more stable. Less up and down. I feel like I'm not having extreme mood swings anymore. I have till Jan till my next Endo appointment, so I'll prob come back down to .7 or .5 once a week sometime at the end of Nov or beginning of dec to let my levels get back to normal from I assume will be elevated levels. And if my hormone levels tanks then hopefully my Dr will up the dose to change the protocol.
In a way doing my own thing will prob bite me in the ass as I will most likely eventually have to tell my Endo what I've actually been doing and that what he wanted wasn't doing anything. I just don't want to be an experiment where he is only willing to do the bare minimum.
I have had enough experience using steroids to know how to manipulate my hormones (in the opposite way) to get the desired results I wanted. Why is it the medical worlds takes so long to catch up, when we know they're only going to do the bare minimum to.get you in "range" and then wash their hands of you and just tell you come back in 6 months to a year and at that point be like welp guess you need surgical intervention now. But if they did hrt the way we know it should be done, I'd imagine many people who got surgery probably wouldn't have had to and I'm speaking about breast augmentation or fat redistribution affects of hrt. Obviously ffs and bottom surgery would still be needed or in touched.
Ok so que all the hate comments, and go.
