Reduced my dose by a milligram and now I'm really sweaty

NSFWHRT Trans Fem

Yo, I've been on a routine of injecting 5 mg EV every 5 days, but recently I experimentally dropped to 4 mg and stopping taking prog after seeing my bloodwork at ~300 pg/ml, T at 9. HRT made me much less of a sweaty person, but since dropping my dose a milligram, I keep getting really sweaty and gross in my arm pits when I'm just chilling at home. I'm wondering if like, maybe the new dose and dropping prog isn't suppressing my T as well? I'm getting levels checked in like 2 or 3 weeks, so I can't tell y'all what I've got right now, but I might just bump back up to 5 mg anyway. 300 pg/ml is perfectly fine for monotherapy but I want it to sit more around 250, which is where I landed on a blood test I had back in December when I was still on 5mg/5d/EV. I also wanted a tad more T in my system but I worry maybe too much leaked back in. It's not that big a deal and this is already a very long-winded post but just wondering y'alls thoughts.
