Well apparently I was wrong and I just got a call from my new nurse who will do the weekly injections at no charge
The prescription is 10mg Estradoil Cypionate IM injection once weekly.... Thats the max dosage according to the endrocrine society guidelines, page 21...
https://www.endocrine.org/~/media/endoso...ersons.pdf
Ive also seen conflicting info that says 10mg every two weeks
And everything Ive read says Estradoil Cypionate gives a lower peak level and takes longer to metabolizes VS Estradoil Valerate.... 4 days to peak level and 11 days to metabolize for Estradoil Cypionate VS 2 days to peak level and 7-8 days to metabolize...
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7389356
That dont make sense to me that they would recommend 20mg max EV every TWO weeks with a faster metabolization rate than EC 10mg every week... EV at 7-8 days would seem ideal for a weekly injection and EC more suited for a biweekly injection at 11 days and a more stable E level peak to trough
I can find a lot of info on EV dosage for biweekly MTF HRT.... 10-20mg.... Hardly anything on EC at 2-10mg weekly but it appears EC is a more potent form of depo injected E from the little I could find on it....
Sounds like Im in for a hell of a ride... Everything Ive read says E2 vs E1 levels are the same as a bio female and much higher levels are attained with injections... We'll find out Friday morning
I guess if levels are way too high I can always at least tell the doc I told you so... I asked for 10mg weekly EV after all... From what Ive read THAT should put E levels at near 2000pg/ml... Who knows where the EC will be but it will be high Im sure...
Im gonna have a baseline test to see where Im at now before we start injections.... Im interested to see how that comes out
I also have scripts for spiro 100mg 3 times daily, Avodart .50 once daily, and progesterone 200 mg daily, 10 days of the month
