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.
