Hi Apple,
I also saw an incredibly fast reaction to taking PM. My T level is normal but on the low side of normal. An interesting thing about me, however, is that my "Free-T" is virtually non-existent and would be considered low even for a genetic female.
I'm on 1500 mg/day now and that's where I will probably stay. At this level I'm very "happy" with myself. Both going lower and going higher makes my anxiety and gender dysphoria increase.
I'm a bit older than you, and married with adult children. Hence I'm not so concerned about possible side effects. At your age I would recommend caution and I think you're doing the right thing to inform your doctor. Both PM and HRT can render you infertile so it's best to know for certain where you are before continuing down this path.
Best,
Misty
