Title

I’ve been on HRT for 6 months, with 5mg weekly injections for the last 3 of those months.
3 months ago, my E was 22 pg/ml, now it is 333 pg/ml.
Doctor says that is too high and is going to to reduce me to a “maintenance dose”. Just wanted to check with other people if this is consistent with their experiences. Thanks!

    For injections, the blood test should be taken on the day of your dose, right before you do your injection. So you should get bloodwork on Sunday, as your blood testing should reflect the lowest point of your E.

    The same premise is true for other methods of administration (i.e. for oral, you should get bloodwork done right before/at the same time of day you normally take your pill)
