so with thyroid meds i got used to just watching TSH. up it, wait 6-8 weeks, retest, adjust. pretty straightforward once you know the pattern. HRT is different.
im 8 weeks in, bumped my estradiol dose about 3 weeks ago bc the night sweats were still hitting hard. they’re better now, which is honestly huge. but then my mood got weird, like im agitated in a way i wasn’t before. better?
worse? just different? my endo said retest in 2 months and we’ll see. but with levo i could look at TSH and feel like something concrete shifted.
with HRT im just tracking… what? morning sweats vs evening sweats? how many mood spirals i have?
bc those things don’t always line up with the dose timing or my cycle. does anyone have a system that actually works for tracking HRT response? do you just commit to 3 months and trust it, or is there something im missing here
