What's to lose if U add 'extra' tonight for example to see how your body reacts?  Too much too soon can cause problems which U need to avoid.

What R your periods up to, if your hormones are up and down you may have symptoms.

Yes I agree I would trial chopping a patch in half and adding it on for a few days and see what you feel like. I’ve done this before when waiting on speaking to GP about an increase. Yes the norm is to wait 3 months to see how it helps you overall but if you increase over night yourself and even some of the symptoms ease then you know you need more when you see the doctor.

If you can I would try to save up and see a private specialist so that you can get on a therapeutic dose of estrogen, a progestogen that is tailored to your individual needs rather than a fixed dose combined product with a low dose of estrogen plus one of the least favourable progestins, and the opportunity to trial testosterone.

NHS treatment often falls short of the mark on all of these.
