So I started HRT 6 weeks and it seems like, that the amount I have to sleephas skyrocketed since then. Before it was impossible for me to sleep more than 9-10h, now if nothing wakes me up I easily sleep 11-12h. If I wake up after 9h of sleep I feel like I barely slept at all and I get quite tired over the day. I know that this is an expected side effect of HRT (or puberty in general) but I did not expect for this to happen this fast. When did you started to get so tired?


To add to the other comments, what you’re describing is a symptom of reduced testosterone levels. As others have pointed out, It will take you some time to adjust, but it’s also possible that your T levels are simply too low. This is especially likely if you’re on a blocker like cypro.
Which is to say, if things don’t sort out, you should look at getting your bloods done so you can see what your T levels are, and adjust your blocker accordingly.
I am doing Monotherapy (4mg/week EEN subq.) And I am already planning at getting my levels checked in January.
Make sure they use female ranges for T as the cutoff points vary. For me T was not detectable on a “male” range and low on a female range. It’s also possible that my doctor is an idiot.
