Starting to think i might be on too low a dosage.
My endo put me on 4mg injections every two weeks. Learning about how valerate tends to have high peaks and low troughs is starting to make sense with how i feel in the days leading to my injection and the days after, though i suppose that could be purely psychological.
Also kinda want to get into DIY because I saw that EEn tends to give more consistent levels but i dunno how I'm going to justify that when my insurance is also providing facial hair removal. Maybe I should switch once that runs its course or I change jobs/lose my insurance.
I guess for now I'll try and advocate for myself with my endo and see if I can be put on a higher/more frequent dosage
Two weeks between EV injections sounds extremely sketchy, the half-life is only like 3 or 4 days. I wouldn't be surprised if that has some sort of impact on your mood.
Are you on an AA? 4mg/2 weeks of EV seems low from my experience. The mood thing is real though. I used to take 7-8mg EV/week monotherapy and would often get a really low mood the day before taking it. EEn helped with that.
Played around with the hormone calculator and came up with this.
EV has a short halflife. If your doctor isn't open to upping your dose, more frequent is probably not a bad idea.
I am taking an AA thankfully. I'll go get a blood test next week and see what my endo says afterwards
