Changes to HRT
I have been on compounded testosterone for 1 year now. No negative symptoms, overall positive results.
I am on a 0.075 estradiol patch and 100mg progesterone (nightly) for almost 3 months.
I haven't had any negative symptoms with my HRT dosage, with the exception of my hair becoming more greasy, thin and shedding a bit more and spotting between cycles.
History of low ferritin and had an infusion earlier this year (levels are great again).
I met with my provider, and they recommended stopping testosterone and increasing my progesterone to 200mg (nightly).
-
Has anyone increased progesterone from 100 to 200? Did it stop the spotting? Any negative side effects?
-
Has anyone gotten greasy, thinner hair from HRT? Anything that helped or didn't?
