can somebody help me with why my body has been so f-ed up by EV injections? why 5mg/7 days seemed to have such a bad effect on me? and why even now at 2.5mg/3 days i feel like i'm too high and my body hates it?
why are other trans women not as sensitive to all the dips and stuff as me? D: why is my body f-ing dying on me ;-;
@ami_angelwings
Estrogen injections tend to cause very high and fluctuating estrogen levels which can cause mood swings, weight gain, hot flashes, anxiety or migraines. Additionally, little is known about the effects of these high levels over the long term."
Sounds like your body is very sensitive to changing estrogen levels. Watch yourself and make sure you stay safe as you become more yourself!
From a website - "
You need to research doctors and advocate for yourself (or get someone to help advocate). Let the doctors know that you react to estrogen strongly.
We take estrogen pills - estriadol - for menopause and mental illness issues. We are on a very small dose because that's all we can tolerate. It ameliorates stuff, but doesn't make it all go away. We have to live with it, and yes, it's tough.
Good luck to you!
