Ummm, so it's been about 10 days now since I stopped taking cypro. I'm effectively on monotherapy now, only valerate injections.

I take 5mg of EV every 4 days. I'm a bit worried, because last time, my trough was only 110pg/ml at this dosage...and now I'm not taking cypro. So I'm worried my T will rise.

What also fuels my worries is what's been happening to my body. I don't smell worse or any different really, my skin seems the same, I'm not any oiler...but my libido is definitely changing. And...I'm not sure I like it.

I just have a higher libido in general (you've seen my 196 posts lol). I have dirty thoughts waaaay more often and these thoughts also cause reactions in me...meaning erections (ew, hate it).

They're nothing like they were pre-HRT, but still...I'm not sure it's a good thing. There's also something else...
I noticed that there's more...leakage...than there ever was before. Just from arousal, not climax (I haven't had one in a loooong time). There's like literally a string of whatever the fuck this clear fluid is...

There was never any leakage before and I certainly didn't have this much functionality...and I'm not sure I like it tbh. If you told me it was normal and that mono was working, I'd be like "cool". But since I'm only getting a blood test in a couple of weeks, I'm worried...I'm worried my T is rising and I'm ruining my transition. I'm afraid I'll lose a whole month of HRT because of mono...

Basically...I desperately need some words of comfort right now please. I'm actually freaking out, cause HRT is like one of the most important things to me. And I really want everything to go well...
Please girlies, HALP ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Nonono, you most certainly mean 1000pmol/L which is the "European unit" and 1000pmol/L is about 272pg/ml. That's not high at all, that's what I'd call the ideal trough, but 800pg/ml...is astronomically high E.

Edit: For context, 1000pg/ml is about 3670pmol/L which is actually almost what I had on my last blood test. So...yeah, pretty high ๐Ÿ˜…
