  • Haha yeah, I’m kinda surprised as well, but I guess that’s also why I went with monotherapy (and a strong dose at that; I aim for about 400ng/dl E2 at trough). It does come with its downsides - mainly strong moodswings, as Dandelion mentioned in her comment - but overall I’m pretty set on my decision.

    A Charles Bukowski quote that has always stuck with me is ‘If you’re gonna try, go all the way’ :)



  • Thanks for your detailed reply!

    Just to clarify: I’m still overall like 20-30% happier than I was before - during the first one and a half weeks it was just like +75% (I should add that first part to the post I think - totally forgot but very important).

    I also get the buzz right after the injection you mentioned… it’s more of a light-headedness though and not what the permanent improvement feels like (that goes more in the calm and happy, serotonergic direction).

    Thanks also for reminding me of the journal part, I should get started on that.
