    just curious, how did your hormone regimen change after bottom surgery?

    i just had orchiectomy 3 weeks ago and am wondering what to expect

    also did it feel different towards the end of the cycle without any T production? yesterday was the day before my injection and i felt unusually emotional

    i'm not on a blocker, and i'm taking ~4 mg of estradiol valerate by injection every 5 days (plus 200 mg of progesterone nightly)

    i'll have my levels checked in a few weeks, but am curious what the experience of others is :3

    that dose was sufficient to suppress T while i still had testicles. last time i had my levels checked T was 26 ng/dL and E2 was 244 pg/mL. can't remember how many days after injection that was, but it was probably 4 or 5

    @jiub My e dosage went down and the injections spaced out to 7 days. I don't feel especially different even if I'm a few days late on my injection unlike when I had T, but then again, I don't feel all that different no matter where I am on my cycle.

    @jiub When I still had T producers, whenever the E levels dropped too low, I'd switch back to T dominant and it'd make me feel like shit. Now at day 7 it's just that I'm running more like 120 pg/ml E rather than the 150-250 I tried to keep it when I had T.
