My Endo tripled my HRT injection amount. I did the first large injection last week, and since then it's been interesting. I basically feel really good most of the time except I cry about something ridiculous once or twice a day. Last night it was a really tasty bowl of soup.
I'm happy to be on a higher dose, but I do wonder why they started me so low. I'd been on pills for quite a while. The doctor agreed that it was obvious I should go up, but then why did she start me there in the first place? Having low estrogen is objectively a bigger risk than slightly high estrogen. Idk it just feels a bit incompetent.
I feel like I hear this from so many other transfems too. Speaking from my own experience it took so long to get them to bump up my dose to a proper amount
My does went from 2mg of EV / week to 6 mg. 2 is absurdly low, but I know a lot of other people on like 5 - 7, so it's probably pretty normal. If you're also on prog or an AA you should have suppressed testosterone at least.

May I ask what your dosage is? I’m really curious. Cause my endo is keeping me on the regular amount of 5mg/week.
