congrats on starting HRT!! ✨
My first week was similarly instructive - I think day 3 after my first injection I was really unexpectedly happy (at one point I literally laid down and just sat with the feelings, enjoying a euphoric body buzz), and my doctor had originally intended for me to inject like every 14 days, but estradiol valerate has a half-life of 3.5 days so by day 4 - 5 I felt like I needed another injection and by day 6 I started to return to pre-HRT mental symptoms, and by day 8 my mental health had so deteriorated and I was so desperate to inject that I reached out to my endocrinologist to make sure it was OK to inject more frequently, and lo and behold, the injection cleared up my symptoms.
Makes me so excited for you, I’m glad you’re getting the care you need 💖
