#HRT question. A couple months ago I switched from pills to injections. Went from 6mg/day sublingual E and 50mg bicalutamide to 5mg/week E mono therapy. My numbers just before switching were T at 4 (yes!) and E at 112.

The first few weeks were great, but the last few have been … ? Basically I’m worried that my T isn’t being blocked well enough. I’m starting to see regrowing/darkening in body hair that had previously basically disappeared. My face feels more oily and some hair regrowth has happened there too. 🤬😩😩 My smell has changed again. And my mood has been really fucking sour and even a few SH thoughts have creeped in.

Most of these could have other explanations, but given they are coming after changing my dosing, it’s hard not to suspect something is wrong. Could I be remascularizing because of inadequate T blocking? I had read that 5mg/week on injections is a relatively high dose that should adequately block T. What’s going on here?
