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!
The range that a typical transgender woman should be aiming for is 100 - 200 pg/mL. 333 pg/mL is above that range.
That said, there's lots of reasons it could be high. People who take their HRT doses weekly can see swings on the high end early in the week and on the low end late in the week. That's why doctor's should be telling you that it's really important to have your blood tests done right in the middle of your dosage schedule.
As always, consult your physician if you have questions. And if you think they're bullshitting you, get a second opinion.
