Tap for spoilerSo my transition results have always been mid, i am by no means a model and I hate to say it but i hate that. I wanted that, and it didn’t happen. I do have smallish boobs but things like hips, ass, etc never really happened for me. I struggle a lot mentally with this. I have been questioning if HRT is even actually working for me, I can still cum and I do see it being the same color it was pre HRT, it is usually reduced at the start of my weekly injection, but by the end it’s back and I feel like shit. I am currently on 0.5ml of estradiol cypinate taken once weekly. I am unsure about my levels since while labs said my estradiol levels were at 200pg/ml I am suspicious I may of injected late and forgot it about it, for reference I usually wait a full 7 days between my injection and labs and when I’ve done that at 0.3ml my levels were only 90pg/ml. I just don’t know and plume doesn’t seem overly helpful to me with my issues.

Have you always been injecting it? Maybe our body just doesn't work with it...

I'm not a medical professional but I could see a case where your body processes your injected estrogen too quickly leading to big and constant hormone fluctuations. Don't really know too much about what that would do to your body but it would make sense for your psyche to suffer a lot from it.

Edit: if you don't want to / can't get pills, you could try doing 1/4 your current dosage every other day and see how that turns out (if it's even possible with your type if syringe (DON'T REUSE THEM!!))

I was on pills but kinda had even more varied results, also I’m not very about taking pills daily. I always use clean needles/syinges

What about patches or gels? From what i've heard, patches seem to be pretty reliable
