My Syringes came in via mail today and so I did my first injection right away. Since Im doing Monotherapy I started with 5mg to see where it leads me. This was also the first time injecting myself with anything. It was kinda scary, but next time it will be way easier.
Make sure you check your levels every so often. I started on 5mg and it turned out to be way too much so I had to half it
Yeah, I started on 4mg Estradiol Cypionate as monotherapy, and I'm down to 2mg and it still may be too much. It's definitely different for everyone
I will check them again in about 5 weeks
Good, good. Here's hoping everything goes well and you adjust to stuff fairly quickly :)
I was just about to say this! I've been doing 4mg Ev / 5 days for about a month, got my latest results back just hours ago and it would appear that my trough level is slightly above the recommended mean level of 1100 pmol/L. Definitely going to have to cut back a bit...
