I am currently on 0.12ml (12 units) injected weekly, I don't really know if it's enough?

I tried this but had no idea how to convert 12 units into mg, also the pharmacy does not seem to list to concentration.

What concerns come with levels dropping?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

For me personally, I got mood swings right before my next dose until I changed the frequency because my levels would drop. But in general, the goal with feminizing hrt is to change your hormone profile to something approximating that of a cis woman in order to get the changes you want. With a long enough gap between doses, the short half life of EV means that you'll have very low levels of estrogen right before your next injection, below your goal range.
