Getting the correct dosage is important to get the results you want! Getting regular blood tests is important but this is not always viable for everyone, this page’s dosages are some general dosage recommendations on getting an appropriate E level.

Pill dosage

Generally doctors will prescribe lower than ideal dosages for HRT, especially pills. Make sure you advocate for what you want to get the levels you require.

Commonly for pills a 6mg daily dose is a good target, I’ve done 2mg pill 3 times a day (morning, lunch and dinner), others do 3mg twice a day.

Some sources recommend a lower dose if you start taking the pills via sublingual administration at 3mg a day, 1mg pills 3 times a day.

I personally took 6mg a day sublingual, if you have access to blood tests then please keep aiming for your preferred target range (See MTF Target Ranges) and adjust as needed.
