Hey everyone! Quick question, I’m switching from patches to pills (estradiol) - wondered if anyone had any advice on dosages?
I use Evorel 100 patches (changed twice a week), I assume the dosage isn’t like 1 to 1. Sorry! And thanks for any advice. Elle
transfemscience.org is great for this stuff
YES, thankyou!! I completely forgot about this site.
https://transfemscience.org/articles/e2-equivalent-doses/ in particular here.
Most people I know, self included, take 4-6mg daily as prescribed
I take 8mg daily, 4mg in the morning 4mg at night. I’m not sure how that compares with other people’s dosages, though.
Thanks!
I was completely lost before :P
Right now I take 2 mg in the morning and another 2 mg at night. My estradiol is at 89 pg/mL and my doctor is considering putting me up another 2 mg. I have some mood issues which I made a post about here the other week which is why I am holding off on the dosage increase for now.
As others have said, you’ll likely land somewhere between 4-6 mg a day. How you space it out will largely be up to you, as I took 6 mg a day; I was taking 2mg 3x a day. Once in the morning, once after work, and once before bed. With 50mg of spiro thrown in. I could probably do without the spiro now to be honest.
My levels were:
2mg a day: 68 pg/ml
4mg a day: 146 pg/ml
6mg a day: 282 pg/ml
I was asked to bump down my dose to 5mg since it was so high at my last test. So I’m taking 5mg a day now.
ooh thanks! What’s your experience with Spiro? I’m only Finasteride and Oestrogen atm
what are patches? do you just apply square pads around certain body parts?
Pretty much.
weird. neat too, thanks
