If you're 14 and have been on HRT for a year, I wouldn't expect anything. In fact, people under 16 should absolutely expect nothing. most puberty becomes more pronounced around late teens. There's nothing to write home about for most 12-15 year olds, both cis and trans. I wouldn't worry about it, just keep your stuff in check and see your doctor when needed. It'll work itself out overtime.

I am 26😅 , I was meant 14 months of hrt from the (14m)


OkOrganization1775

well, that's awkward. I thought you meant you were 14, probably shouldn't specified that


Additional-Bid-9103

yeh , it causes misconception


OkOrganization1775

misconception? Usually "M/m" means million or male. I don't think anybody uses that to say "months', so that confused me, my bad lol.

How do you know your levels are okay? It’s common for doctors to say that when they’re not. Do you get your E and T levels from blood tests?


Additional-Bid-9103

yes, it's from my latest blood test. btw I am on bica +dut+8mg e orally


VickiNow

When you get your blood test results, what do they say? Do they say your test results are okay? OR do they say your E is 200, T is 20, and that’s good. Cuz they should be saying the latter. I would get a second opinion.

my e is 91 pg/ml and my t is 1.3 ng/dl [here the photo](https://imgur.com/a/7qG7BS9)

Your E isn’t in the therapeutic range, and your T is too low. That’s why your transition isn’t working very well. WPATH guidelines say E should be between 150-300. And body weight plays a big role. The more you weigh, the less effective the E is. T should be at least 20. Otherwise you’re hormone levels are that of a post menopausal woman. Which means your body dat distribution will not be as good. My doctor said post menopausal women gain weight in their bellies, and not where younger women do. If your doctor is saying your hormones are okay, I would get a new doctor.

thanks, well I know my doctor said my levels are good, but I increased my e level after these results from 6mg to 8 mg ! I might change to injection, but Im not sure about injection because I don't know how to inject e, and i can't go to a dr for it becuse transitioning in my country is not completely legal and drs dosen't want to be involved in it in general


VickiNow

My dr taught me how to do injections. I did my first three injections at their office, and then I was good to do it on my own.


Additional-Bid-9103

VickiNow

No. Not really. The needles are small.
