I had an AWFUL winter for a lot of reasons, it wasn't solely down to my hormones. But my hormones were def a contributing factor. I was taking injections and my estradiol levels were way too high and I always felt like shit. But I also felt like I couldn't lower the dose because then it always ran out before the end of the week, and taking more frequently always caused my levels to skyrocket even when I adjusted the dosage to compensate.
I'm taking estradiol by pill now and it's way way better, I feel good. But I'm not going back on spiro for a number of reasons, and I'm beginning to suspect my T levels are rising because I get morning wood occasionally. I know you can't really do estrogen monotherapy with pills, and I'm worried about my T levels, but I'm also feeling so good rn that I'm not sure I want to change anything.
I did (semi-)sublingual E monotherapy for a year and a half, so it's certainly possible, but I think that may depend heavily on your body's specific reactions to different hormones, sadly.
Starting to get a bit worried about my hrt.
