"91 is normal for your dose"
hey all, i just got my second batch of labs done, ive been on low dose T gel for 1 year and 4 months, and my levels are not looking good
i got labs done 4 months into HRT with levels of 178. 1 year 4 months same dose and now its 91. my theory is that by having my IUD removed in jan 2025 brought back my period and subsequently messed with my hormone levels causing my E to rise and T to drop, but i am NOT a doctor.
my folx doctor said that 91 is normal for low dose T, but we can still "increase my dose if my goals have changed". i dont really WANT to increase my dose, back when they were at 178 4 months in i was feeling great, looking great, and only expected them to gradually go higher. i dont think 91 is normal AT ALL for a low dose, and everything i googled says otherwise, so i want yalls opinion.
EDIT: thank you for the replies, I think my anxiety wasn't anticipating a change in my dose so i was reluctant. however, if increasing my dose aids my transition, mind, & health, i will increase my dose however many times it takes. 🖤
