I think that partly has to do with his method of estradiol administration being oral. Sublingual (which seems most popular among mtf patients and what most users take here I believe) suppresses T more than oral. In fact injections, which have the highest T suppression, are often administered by doctors without an AA at all and patients can reach optimal T levels.

Planeo usar 8 mg de estradiol al día ... ¿crees que con eso suprimiré mis filas femeninas ... en varios artículos dice que con 8 mg es suficiente ... ¿cómo está tu cabello?

I have blood test results from last week. Sorry for not posting screenshots, I'd rather not.

• DHT: Undetectable
• Total T: 37.6 ng/dL
• Free T: 6.04 pg/mL
• E2: 72 pg/mL
• SHGB: 11.5 pg/mL

Seems like cypro is extremely effective with basically nuking testosterone. The only thing that seems low is my E, which is my fault because I have been lazy with the times I take it, plus I'm not taking much anyway. Free T also seems a bit high.

Doesn't CPA also lower estrogen? that could play a role in your lower estrogen level, maybe.

How much E do you take and what method?

Possible, I have no idea though.

4mg sublingually every 6-10 hours, I used to do buccally but it took far too long to dissolve.

how long after your last E pill dose was your blood taken?

the pills cause spikes and valleys

I took a 2mg a few hours before the blood test.

cpa is also antiestrogen

you should not take anything in 12 hours and not in a few hours

 

[keepcoolmybabies]

Not necessarily. Just depends on dosage schedule. Ideally you should have blood test right before next dosage to check trough level cocentration.

So, what does your body composition look like taking this?

In terms of lean muscle mass, strength ect.?

Muscles are melting away, strength is still kinda there, i can still lift up my furniture.

If you are aiming for higher E levels, you might just not be taking enough (or need a different method). On 4mg sublingual pills, my e level was 62pg/ml. On 6mg my level was 140pg/ml. Then when I initially switched to injections, my level skyrocketed to 552pg/ml and I had to tweak my dosage until I got my levels to sit somewhere between 200-300. So it's kinda trial and error to say the least.

you could try adding some estrogel to the pills, it has a longer half-life

Is it possible to use just estrogel gel? i don't like the idea of using pills sublingually. This is just for future reference.

I know the feeling. I was stoked the first time I realized mine was long enough to put in a bun.

I’m so jealous......... I would love to know what I should do to have... yeah nevermind.
Actually I’m the only one here with no success. That’s weird. I’m always the black swan/sheep (mouton noir).
My last option is witchcraft, if you know some of it contact me.
