See title. I’m on HRT for over 11 months now, thoroughly enjoying it. I’ve a hunch the dose is a bit low, though. I get androgen blockers every 2-3 months, my last one was one month ago.

Normally my arm hairs aren’t very visible, so I didn’t have much dysphoria from that. However, recently my arm hair seems to be growing a lot and thicker, and I’m concerned. Is this normal?

My mum doesn’t really have a lot of arm hair, nor do other gals in my family.

    The spray is transdermal, yes.

    It’s 1.53 mg/dose. It dries significantly faster (2 min, vs 10 min for gel).

      it’s possible the spray would be just as effective as gel, then - not really sure, but they’re both transdermal. I don’t know what doses the gel come in, and I also just don’t know about how well the skin absorbs estradiol from spray vs gel - I would be really interested to learn more, though!
