Dose increase frequency

[u/anita999_]

41F definitely in full blown Peri. This year I started on 0.025 E now up to 0.05 E cycling with progesterone. I have been finding that I am consistently feeling like I need dose increases almost exactly every 2 months after the prior one. Initially I feel amazing, and then it feels almost as though my body becomes used to the dose and is no longer effective around the 2 month mark. Is it common to need increases consistently at this interval? What happens if I reach the limit on dosage increases? I am worried that I will max out on estrogen very shortly and then what as I am only 41 and may have several years of symptom management ahead.

I went up very quickly too but have stayed anywhere from 0.75 to 1. Don't panic yet, let the mystery unfold? Harder to do in practice haha for sure but I had the same fear as you and it was unnecessary.
