Didn't have a chance to write up a detailed post, either on a fruit or the topic I was originally thinking about. I think they're neat and they taste good.

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.
Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

It's pretty low. Also make sure you take your blood test as close as possible to right before the next dose (of pills or of an injection). This is the trough level and it's what we base our adjustments on. If you took the blood at any other time it will seem that the level is high, but this will be useless for making any conclusions.
If you are going to let the pill dissolve in your mouth, then spread it out over the course of a day. Don't put all your pills under your tongue/near your cheek all at once. If you need to split a pill in half to be able to take it throughout the day, then use a pillsplitter to make your life easier. It will take 30 mins to an hour to dissolve a full 2mg pill, anything left over in your mouth after that is filler material in the pill, just swallow it.
Hmm the blood was taken around 2pm, and I take the pills at like 6:30am and 8:15pm. So my real levels might be even lower? Dang
my PP doctors have me taking my levels mid way through the week, so i inject saturday and go in on wednesday for the blood draw; is there merit in going in on friday instead because I am getting checked again to see if monotherapy is working in a couple months.
I don't really want to lie to them but i will if they are off about this!
Sorry, just saw this. I am writing this with the assumption that you inject estradiol enanthate. If they're taking at the middle point between doses, that means they want your peak levels. If you take EEn every 7 days, then the variation between peak and trough could be from 20pg/ml to 50pg/ml depending on a lot of factors. In the ideal case, you want a minimum trough level of 200pg/ml, and then adjust up or down slightly depending on your mood and based on the level of feminization you experience. It's a trial and error process that might take a very long time, and can even change after years without apparent reason. I suggest you measure your trough level.
fascinating. It's estradiol valerate. I'll have it done on a friday as was you are saying makes sense and they are letting me schedule it myself.
appreciate the reply!
This has an even shorter half life so the variation will be higher than with EEn. Feel free to ask for help when you get your results or for any other reason. Good luck!
