Been on HRT 1.5 year, no break... levels around 1400 total, will stay on constantly and take AI for estro levels and hcg for the boys... doc will run mine to 2000 if i want but like the level and have supplemental test for cycling... personally think keeping a constant level is best but every doc has his own opinion? looks like they would give you a script and let you self inject, much cheaper.. but there again, i am on the implant routine for now and i like it... congrats on your recover!
