Okay I have a #medication question. I’ve been having these waxing and waning fatigue symptoms for a while now, and it seems like it’s slowly getting worse.

It could always be a dysautonomia kind of thing. But it could be a side effect — Do we think that it might be #Spiro? #Bipolar meds?

HRT DOSAGES QUESTIONS:

Read the whole post before answering please!

What were your dosages when you were in the first 2-3 months of your HRT?

What were you taking, what kinds, and how were they administered?

If injected, where did you inject? Subcutaneous, intramuscular, or other?

Did you DIY, doctor, or other? Who told you how much to dose?

Did you need to make adjustments?

Was it a safe dose? There's all sorts of different opinions on what's safe levels or not.

Any other info or advice?

.....

WHAT I'VE DONE:

If I can't yet get around to hormone level testing, I can at least make a more informed guesstimate of what a safe dose is, for my own health.

I do not have hormone levels from before starting e. I tried, but should have tried earlier and harder.

I'm specifically going from 2 months on monotherapy EV injections only, to EV + spiro pills.

I've been logging exactly when & how much I've taken, & where I injected. I have been taking more than recommended, sometimes way more. I've gone back down to closer to recommended levels, but still higher than recommended.

I've seen one hormone level simulator online, but it was merely a simple "x dose every y days", no room for custom varying doses and days. There's probably some out there, that are more suited to what I'm looking for.

.....

Thanks in advance!

(#TransitionTimeline Part 1 of 3)

2 years ago, my first pills of #estrogen and #spiro arrived in the mail after I ordered them from a pharmacy in Thailand (mom's only concern was thinking ordering from an international source would've opened up the risk of the pills being tainted with fentanyl). While I ordered the pills to silence doubts running in my brain (the #HRT consultation from Planned Parenthood was scheduled for October...and I wasn't willing to wait that long having doubts), the second the E went under my tongue, I felt an intense warmness (which in hindsight was placebo since E doesn't even start having mental effects until a couple weeks in) amidst a taste akin to that of cotton candy. Almost as if my body was telling me "Girl, you're trans. No need to doubt anymore." The further along I've gone, the more secure in myself that this was one of the best decisions I've ever made....and one I should've made sooner.

While the #gendereuphoria of putting on the dress at the start was what gave me my Danny DeVito-esque moment of silently saying "Oh my God, I get it", feeling and noticing my body slowly morph has been a wonder--softening of skin, boobs, shifting around of body fat, developing hips/thighs/ass, etc. I've also tried developing my own forms of fashion that comes in three flavors (sometimes intermixed with each other): 1). goth-chic, 2) Flamgirlant (aggressively feminine in a flamboyant manner), and 3) as slutty as acceptable in public spaces in a conservative state. Social transition has been the slowest for me thanks to me being supercharged to be bullheadish-ly me (perhaps emboldened by the continuing aftershocks of #gendereuphoria), but sometimes I make unconscious and subtle steps towards social transition....but not fast enough.

Last night was not good sleep wise. I didn't get to sleep until after 11pm, which is not too bad. But, I was up 4, maybe 5, times to pee. Thanks #spiro .

My sinuses are acting up again. And the fibro flare from Tuesday is still hanging around.

Never mind the repeated nightmares that also woke me up several times.
