Do you take your E sblingial of just swallow. Sublingual is placing under your tounge and let disolve. (Don't drink anything for 5 min. after it disolves) This allows it to enter your bloodstream more directly then passing through the endrocrin system which can divert a lot of it away.

Actually I usually put it between the cheek and gum and let it slowly dissolve, easier to talk that way
Ive tried it both ways and that just seems easier....

Thanks Bobie, I wish she was an endo... She's just a sympathetic regular general family practitioner....

Well the unit of measurement in that graphic is different than mine
I was measured at 128pg/ml which would be converted to roughly 470pmol/L

Im actually plenty high according to that graph
200pmol/L would be roughly 54.5pg/ml

Yay! I love this graph! (I'm at 59 pg/ml lol)
Btw, my doc isnt technically an endo either, but sees lots of TGs considering the options are limited in my area. He's pretty willing to work with me though, so it's cool....or maybe I'm just more submissive. Either way lol

Well I got a call today from my doc's nurse... Apparently all my bitching might have paid off.... I have my first ever appointment with an OB/GYN on August 7th
I have no idea what he's going to want to do but Id think he will want to do more blood tests at least.... Im really hoping to get on weekly IM EV injections but Id be happy with a more competent doc and a better prescription.... Looking forward to seeing my new "pussy doc" in about 3 weeks
Another note... Ive been out of gel E for two days now and I really miss it
It really does make me feel better than oral E and I like that I can take it whenever I want... I can eat drink or whatever instead of waiting for so many damn pills to dissolve in my mouth, just slather it on and let it dry, LOVE that stuff
Should have another shipment of gel and two different kinds of 100mcg patches to try soon, cant wait for that

That's great, Eve. It's always good to have a doctor you trust.

Well that remains to be seen, I do think he would be more knowledgeable on hormones though than my current doc...
Wont know until I see him though, I am excited but a bit nervous about going an all womens clinic I gotta say
At least by then my name and hopefully gender should be legally female
Id hate to have to present male ID at a place like that!!! Definitely puts some pressure on me to get my D/L and insurance changed over quick
If its not done by then though I'll still go of course
