OK back to the program... Lately Im feeling totally stalled out here, I know I hopefully have a couple more years left at least to see feminization but the last few months seem like Ive gone nowhere
Ive had to start tapering down my E again for my one year complete labs on Tuesday
It really sucks having to do this so often but I need to keep him happy at least until I can get through SRS hopefully in the late fall... Im really hoping my doc will give me an increase in my E script, Im gonna ask him for it anyway... Im also hoping that he will make my testing every 6 months now that its been a year instead of every 3 months....
He is a very experienced highly regarded OB/GYN but unfortunately he has little experience with MTF HRT.... Im do look forward to the day I can be one of his REAL patients and then I intend to tell him what I was REALLY on when he wants to reduce my dosage post op
I can tell for sure that going on just his script is not enough
Cant wait to get this over with and get back on the higher dosage shots.... I feel so much better at 17-20mg every five days than I do on just 7mg.... As I taper down I feel worse and worse on the last days before my shot
I just took my last 7mg shot this morning and Im already feeling better but this next 5 days will be rough
I have it timed to be five days after this shot for my labs.... I have seen some HRT protocols that call for dosage closer to mine... I think I might need to print them out and show them to him to help my argument....
My experiment with the patches has just confirmed to me that they are just a little better than worthless so far
Ive been on 300mg of spiro for a while now and it doesn't seem to do much for me anymore good or bad.... Im gonna keep that there and stay on 200mg of P for this next round of tests to see where everything comes out....
The only other things Im considering trying are maybe trying a progestin/antiandrogen like CPA and reducing the spiro and progesterone by a lot... I guess that will depend on where my T level is, but even if its still cratered I feel like I need to try something different to hopefully get things going again... Maybe even a little ethinyl estrogen... EE and CPA is very tempting to try but Ive read they greatly increases clotting risks
