Some of us can't control or get rid of our symptoms on the lowest dose of oestrogen and I don't think we ever get back to the levels our own body produced. Funny thing is...each one of us produced a different level which were probably never taken in bloods during our fertile years (why would there be a reason to check unless you had fertility or endocrine issues) so we will never know Callisto what the right level for us should be.
The doctors who use blood levels go on "normal ranges" but what was normal for me wouldn't be normal for you.
...and by the way no question is ridiculous here
