Got my pellets

Well, got my pellets yesterday. Very uneventful, little discomfort. I got 2 estrogen pellets to equal 25 and one
testosterone 75. He thought that was a low dose for me
but I wanted to start out conservative. So far I haven't noticed a difference, except I feel a little irratation in the
vaginal and vulva area, as what I feel when my estrogen is low, guess it hasn't had a chance to start working, but it is amazing how fast my tissue responded to a lack of estrogen, hope I didn't go to low on the dose.

Hi!

Good luck with your new hormones! I hope this turns out to be the right hormone therapy for you.

Slt-
Glad to hear you got your pellets. I am getting mine after work today. Getting pretty anxious about it. Did your doctor tell you to continue on the hormones you have been using for a few days until the pellets start working?
Good luck to you.

No, actually I took the patch off right after he placed the
pellets, which he took from me and put in the trash and he
didn't say anything about continueing for a while, but now I
wonder if I should have kept the patch on for a few days.

slt,
My fingers are crossed that the pellets will work for you. I hope that this will be your ticket out of the

Slt,

I got my pellets last night. Wasn't painful at all and I was really worried about that. I had three pellets implanted, one 25 estrogen and two testosterone totalling 112.5. I am to keeping using my patch for about 5 days. Will have bloodwork done in 30 days to see what my levels are. Blood levels before the pellets were Total Test. 34, Free Test. 0.2, Estradiol 61, FSH 10.6 and TSH 1.073. The doctor feels that I may need to have an additional estrogen pellet after my labwork in 30 days. We will see how it goes.
Keep me posted on how you are doing.

I may call my doctor and see if I should wear the patch a little while, my self. Good luck on yours. Did they tell you how long before you could tell how they are working?

I think he said it could take up to a week, maybe longer. How are you feeling? Can you tell any difference yet?

No, can't tell any difference yet.
