Hello! As some of y'all may know, I locked down a trans MILF baddie about a year ago (actually 11 months as of yesterday!). She's 12 years older than me and like twice my size, I live for this shit.

Well anyways, she's been on hormones for 2 years. She's been taking low doses considering how long she's been on it because she is bipolar (y'all know I haven't dated someone without a cluster b personality disorder since Chapo was still on Reddit) and taking anything more than what she's taking will make her dangerously manic. So yeah, none of that.

Her appointment was a couple days ago. Got her blood drawn, and we're both confused by the numbers. So she's at 88 estrogen, which is below the 100 they look for typically but is close enough really. However, her testosterone was even higher than when she started HRT, around 160.

I'm still waiting for her to text me doses, but she's on Estrodial, Progesterone and Spiro, all oral, no needles or sublingual. Losartan for blood pressure. And CBN at night (with her progesterone dose, mentioning that because I know the two have interactions).

She's calling her nurse practitioner tomorrow, but I figured I'd ask a bunch of trans people what they think of it

cis women have higher levels, and bipolar shrug-outta-hecks did her doctors tell her that or did she come to this conclusion on her own?

88 is pretty bad tbh. wpath recommends 100-200 but even that is conservative and based on post menopausal women. Personally I stick with 200+ but that's just me.

Either way she should at minimum be taking her E under her tongue (sublingually) and her prog rectally. Disagree with some of the other people here, prog is good to take if you're tanner 3/4+. If the mood effects are fine. Just take it rectally. I'd +1 Emma's suggestion for switching to patches as they are extremely stable if taken correctly. I don't like AAs like spiro so one of the other commenters probably has better advice on it.
