Question about switching to pills
Hey everyone! Quick question, I'm switching from patches to pills (estradiol) - wondered if anyone had any advice on dosages?
I use Evorel 100 patches (changed twice a week), I assume the dosage isn't like 1 to 1. Sorry! And thanks for any advice. Elle

As others have said, you'll likely land somewhere between 4-6 mg a day. How you space it out will largely be up to you, as I took 6 mg a day; I was taking 2mg 3x a day. Once in the morning, once after work, and once before bed. With 50mg of spiro thrown in. I could probably do without the spiro now to be honest.
My levels were:
2mg a day: 68 pg/ml
4mg a day: 146 pg/ml
6mg a day: 282 pg/ml
I was asked to bump down my dose to 5mg since it was so high at my last test. So I'm taking 5mg a day now.
ooh thanks! What's your experience with Spiro? I'm only Finasteride and Oestrogen atm
It's be totally fine for me. I only take 50mg so it's about the lowest dose you can be given. Stepping up the estradiol tablets at the 3 month and 6 month mark. I'm predisposed to hypertension so it helped with that and let me worry less about sodium intake. But I'll probably be moving off of it soon. I actually got a call earlier today and the idea of injections came up
