Low dose is not equal to slow dose! This is very important to remind yourself of.
I have been taking 50 microgram patches of Systen, Janssen-Cilag, every 3 days ( 72 hours ) with a bit of Spearmint and Peppermint.
My lab values are the following :
114 pg / ml Estradiol = female ranges
0,100 Free testosterone = Below female ranges!
17.9 ng/dl total testosterone = perfectly female range.
My libido is sky high
I feel relaxed
I am not moody
I am experiencing painful breast tenderness.
I have skin as soft as ever.
I have been on Progynova and Androcur for 2 years before starting patches and those never gave me the values as great as Estradiol patches give me.
Without an actual anti-androgen I have lower T than when I was using Androcur.
I feel fantastic.
I need to only take one patch every 72 hours and a bit of Spearmint and Peppermint every day. No nasty side effects, no fuz.
I feel very relieved.
Keep in mind that low dose does not equal slow dose. My super low dose is a transitioning dose for my body

Its Supprising how some of us can kill or keep testosterone low with even just a low dose of estrogen.
On herbal my T was already lower than a few girlfriends on HRT, with 200+ mg of spiro..
My T was completly decimated with only 100mg spiro, and 200mg estrodot patchs.
Now on injections, no spiro. Not only has my T never had the rebound others talk about, but according to general concensious my Estrogen is too low to keep my testosterone down.. 0.04nmol is below acceptable levels, even for a female.

It certainly is fascinating
and yes for some 50mcg every 3 days will be transition level, others the same would not even cause budding in 6 months

Elissa
was most of your growth created by the previous 2 years , which I must say is quite breath taking ?
So are you saying the patches now have reduced your levels now further and you feel great on them ?

I like my patches. It took awhile for my T to drop below 100. I have been on HRT for almost 14 months. I have gained 1.5" on my boobs, about the same on my rear and lost almost 1.5" from my waist. I have just recently been put on 3 full patches. Cant wait to see what changes might happen in 6 months.
