I finally had my meeting with an endocrinologist for my hormone prescription early last month and I was clearly quite informed and insistent I wanted to start hormones, though have had some apprehension about chest growth (I'm NB - but we discussed this and both of us understood it was clear there's no indication between dosage and chest growth, and he confirmed this with me). To me I thought it seemed clear I was eager to begin a decent dosage and hopefully include blockers but he pushed back and said we shouldn't rush things and that especially with blockers if we got too fast it could make me feel worse and quit. So he started me on Evorel 25mcg evorel patches (I wanted patches) but from looking around now that I've been on them about a week it sounds like this is very low and the only other examples I can find of people being on such a low dosage is when they're still in puberty. I am 27, far beyond that. My next appointment isn't until December, is there anything I can do about this as I'm a little annoyed now? I considered whether I could double patch but I believe there may be issues obtaining another prescription if I did so (it hasn't gone on repeat and I've just been given 12 weeks of patches).

I don't understand why I'd be started so low, almost all of what I can find suggests 50mcg is the lowest adult trans HRT dosage. I know I've only been on them a week but I'm doubtful I'll even notice much change at this low a dosage because I am quite large 1.82m (~85kg) and it sounded like they were hoping to make changes based on how I felt come December.

Has anyone else been in a similar situation, are there any ideas of what I can do?
