What do I start with first when undergoing self HRT?

It's different for everyone with how your body takes to it. However here's my dosage timeline up until today - 4.5 months hrt.

1st month, 50 MG Spiro, 1 MG Estradial (Estrace)

2nd month, 100 MG Spiro, 2 MG Estradial

3rd month , 150 MG Spiro, 4 MG Estradial

3.5 months, 200 MG Spiro, 6 MG Estradial.

I'm on that dosage currently and I'm starting to notice alot of effects. Like I said tho it effects everyone differently... like I have a stupid fast metabolism, along with that I've seem to hit the genetic lottery in certain areas.

One thing to take note, if you have a eating disorder and aren't taking in the right amount of nutrients there won't be a huge effect. Your body needs fuel to run, think of a car... it runs better with premium fuel, now take the premium fuel and replace it with cheapo fuel. It won't run as well. Your diet is like the cheapo fuel, where as a proper diet is like premium fuel.

Just keep an eye on your levels and get tested regularly and health wise you should be fine.
