it takes 4-6 weeks until your levels normalise again. So take that into account when you want to do blood tests.
Starting HRT:
When starting HRT a lot of people do something called a “loading dose”. Lets assume our target dose is 5mg/week. WHen you take 5mg/week it takes about 4-5 weeks until you reach the steady state. However when you start with a loading dose of 9mg for your first
injection you reach your stable state in about 2 weeks (Source). This means, that you avoid or minimise the time where you have no dominant sex hormones and
the correlated issues. You should then get regular blood tests and adjust your dosages.
