especially in the first few months, it can take a bit for the hormone levels to settle in and your body to get used to them.
If you have the option, getting your blood levels checked every few months can be helpful in the beginning to see whether you might need a higher dose to get into the desired ranges, but I feel like in the end, you feeling comfortable with how the levels feel for you and the changes is the most important thing.
Last time I checked I had 70 estrogen level but dont remember the unit π , but it was like quite good
That's probably pg/ml, in which case the "official" target is 100-200. The more important question is if your T is suppressed, which is <50 ng/dl.
I just checked, my T was 0.25 but the unit was ng/ml
To convert from ng/ml to ng/dl, multiply by 100. Thatβs because ml is 1/1000 of a liter and dl is 1/10 of a liter. So the difference is a factor of 100.
Well, then it would be a 25ng/dl
