Got bloodwork done today!
My doctor says I should have estradiol levels between 100-200 pg/mL. I have... 15. That seems less than ideal 
@courtney oh dear. That’s low. Injection or oral supplement?
@nicole Patches! I swap them out Tuesday and Friday nights, so I was expecting it to be low - but not that low 
@courtney I remember, when I first started HRT, my GP told me that the number of patches I’d need to use to maintain normal cis levels of estrogen was probably more than I could fit on the surface area of my skin. 🥲
@Reborn_Cat_Mom @nicole They actually switched me off of pills, to patches, last year. My doctor doesn't want to go the injection route unless nothing else works - we'll see what they come back with. 🤞
@courtney @Reborn_Cat_Mom
Interesting. Any particular reason your doctor wants to steer you clear of injections?
In any case, hoping for the best for you!!
@nicole @Reborn_Cat_Mom It's policy for the clinic I'm at, and I'm not sure exactly why that is. Perhaps that will change!
And thank you 😄
