Hi wee2er,
I will ask about the gel and patch, needles don't bother me so all the options besides oral are open to me.

My last labs while taking estradiol: estradiol 30.9 and testosterone 552. Both within normal range for an adult male, she will probably do labs next week just to see where everything is at, and get a good baseline.

So far the only unwanted effect from discontinued estradiol is my leg and arm pit hair grows back a little faster but my skin is still soft, breasts still seem to be rounding out, body fat hasn't shifted back to a male shape. However I was on BO for 2 years and there's anecdotal evidence that it flips a switch in some people that keeps them producing estrogen long after they stop, but nothing scientific, lol, I won't complain if it does work like that for me.

Thanks for the good advice.

Update. Met with the doctor and she said it's ok to start back up the progesterone and after all the liver tests come back we will look at the patch or shot.

My bloodwork came back and liver enzymes are still elevated but came down quite a bit. Now I am waiting on an ultrasound of my liver, the imaging doctor is supposed to call to schedule an appointment.
