Has anyone ordered Lupron or any GNRH analogue before?
if so is it easy to do the injection by yourself? I am looking at lucrin depot and i found a yt vid on it and its a pretty nice self contained syringe, none of the ampule mixing llike the other kits

Insane Felicitas Sitaution

Apparently Felicitas is shutting down (according to multiple reports from Reddit)
Reason for this is a tranny who worked with the person behind Felicitas (who made the website) posted drunkenly yesterday complaining about something, that she's corrupted a lot of the files on their systems, installed backdoors and had the list of customers shared with the police.
>>
>>37331000
Wtf? I hope the customers don't get into trouble because of this bitch
>>
DIY HRT is too scary for me omg
>>
>>37331000
do you have a link to this?
>>
>>37331151
according to the FAQ from the Felicitas website, they delete all customers information after shipping, we can only hope that it's true

>>37331258
look on the r/TransDIY subreddit, it should be the post trending at the top

I'd like to extend a warm and sincere thank you to the juicing community for helping me with DIY HRT

Sooooo, probably should have asked before I sent $100 in bitcoin but is otokonoko still a thing? I know the website disappeared for a second and came back up, but I made an order and sent payment. I got the usual automated "payment hasn't gone through" email that I've always gotten when ordering. It's happened every time I've ever ordered from lily and I've gotten a written response saying "ignore that, you're good" when I questioned it, but this time I asked and got no response in over a day. Anyone know what's up?
>>
>>37333198
lilan frequently takes a few days to answer, if she hasn't responded in a week you have reason to worry. if her website has been taken by someone trying to farm crypto or something she'll likely tweet about it
with that being said, what the fuck is her @ again? twitter is doodoo nigger shit and randomly decides to not show me who i follow first in search

recently switched to injections and was supposed to take 0.2 ml. I took 2.0 ml for two weeks and 0.5 ml for one week. I did this because I’m a moron


Obviously I’m not going to die or anything but have I fucked my feminization and to what degree? My endo said to lay off everything for 3 weeks or so to let levels come down but I’m not sure how bad I screwed up

It was my 2nd time doing injections today and I kinda fucked it up
Injected way too much air into the syringe which resulted in estrogen not getting into the syringe when I drew it

seems like all the cheap sources are gone. everywhere I look, dissolvable estradiol tablets are prohibitively expensive. the only thing I can find for cheap is progynova which I don't think dissolves.
so anyone know how much estradiol I would have to swallow per day while taking cyproterone to nuke my T? like the minimum dose to do that?
I can't do injections because the preservatives in the carrier oil will interact with one of my medications and kill me.
>>
>>37341516
Progynova can be taken sublingually it just takes like 10 minutes
No one can give you any recommendations for AA or estrogen regimens, my testosterone was nuked on 1mg cypro (basically negligible), for others they need an AA to suppress T. There are different injection oils if you’re allergic to one find a vendor that uses a different oil
>>
>>37341799
>Progynova can be taken sublingually it just takes like 10 minutes
thanks, I can live with that.
>There are different injection oils if you’re allergic to one find a vendor that uses a different oil
no, there's no issue with the oil itself, it's the benzyl alcohol that's added to the oil to prevent spoilage. to my knowledge there's nobody who makes oils without it and i'm not sure it would even be safe without it. my liver doesn't produce the enzyme to process that chemical.

just draw out more than u need and then tap on it a few times to get the bubbles to the top and push it back into the vial

How long should one go without getting an orchiectomy or similar surgery while on monotherapy? I don't really feel comfortable with the idea of getting my balls removed quite yet, although I doubt I'd care once I'm on my own and living as a woman and stuff. I figure since monotherapy's blood clotting risk is similar to birth control, the recommended time for a woman to stop taking that also applies to someone getting an orchiectomy. I can imagine in 10 years when I'm 30, I'll be able to do it.

What's the general guide for prog?

I'm not exactly sure what I should be taking dosage-wise and what method (rectal right?) and if my current hrt regimin will like, mesh well with it (6mg EEn weekly, 12.5mg cypro every two days)

Like whats the price estimate for prog? and is the T backdoor thing real? could I add bica to my regimin just for that? I'm two years hrt and is the libido thing real?

Depends on the vial and how it's stored / if it's cored, my EEN lasts longer than 12 months and stored in a cupboard with my needle bag and doesn't see sunlight until I need to use it every 10 days

Just look at the FAQ's for your stuff and see

>>37334873
nothing will be "fucked" except maybe your mood. since it's injections your E1 wont even get that high which means that the likelyhood of you getting a blood clot are a lot lower. 3 weeks seems like a long time IMO, IM EV has a half life of 3.5 days so after 3 weeks you'd only have around 1 percent still in you. 1, maybe 1.5 weeks seems like a more reasonable time unless you have massive risk factors like previous blood clots or a family history of estrogen dependent breast cancer. but your feminization wont be seriously affected by this in the long run.

usual target for trough is 200-250 pg/ml, so it's not great. id up the dose.

(2/3)
>>
>>37350613
dose yes, blood level no. a larger body will need a higher dose to get to the same level if that's what you're talking about.
>>37350825
rectal or injection is the only route to take it, since the first-pass metabolism from the liver when taking it orally makes a lot of T. the "back door" is def a real thing. you could def add bica to "protect" against that, or test your T levels and see if they're elevated after you start prog.

>I think most expiration is 1-2 years,
I honestly feel like at this rate, I'm going to inject the first one after 6-12 months of having it lol. I have more than 1 vial since I wanted to have some reserves, so maybe it will expire by the time I'm going into my 2nd vial
I'm kind of stupid

I'm kind of new to injections (done a couple before this) and I think I messed up doing my shot too fast and maybe like half of the oil or so came back out of my thigh, should I give myself another half shot to make up for it? Really nervous my levels will drop too much if I don't
>>
>>37355053
it's not a big deal if it happens here and there, it's only a concern if it happens frequently. do you use the z-tracking method? do you leave the needle in for about 30 seconds after you've finished the injection before pulling it out? those things will help prevent oil leakage.
>>
>>37355093
I need to look into z-tracking and see how to do it, I like pinched the skin and poked the 1/2" needle in at a 45deg angle and pushed 0.2ml worth of oil in in about maybe 5 seconds and then pulled the needle out like a second later, I think it was way too fast, it leaked a lot. I'm like a little needle shy and I'm trying to get better about it, after I pulled the needle out and saw everything leaking I got like really light-headed and dizzy, I think I did it so fast to get it over with but I can't do that

depends on which one and what HRT regimen.

>>37356280
finasteride doesn't suppress T, retard. have you read anything about the effects of the medications you're taking, like, ever? you should try it sometime.

that's a standard or even high dose, so the short answer is "yes", but you should always check your levels if you want to be sure

>>37357351
I'm not an agp and why did you randomly bring up schizophrenia?

this is why spiro is absolute dogshit. also listen to >>37357388 and get on bica or cypro. finasteride is only useful for lowering DHT levels, not T levels. the only reason to take it is if you're concerned about hair loss.

It was opened 2 years ago. It has one of those rubber gasket things that you poke the needle through. It’s EV from otonoko

I’ve kept it in the original box, wrapped in a cloth, in a container, in my backpack.
>>
>>37361336
Depends how sore, it's not uncommon to have a little bruise. You might be pinching a little too hard, that's normal when you're new and still scared of it
If it's still like that even after several shots and there's a larger bruise or some skin irritation you might be allergic to the carrier oil, iirc there's only really two options available so if it turns out you are just try out the other one and see how it goes. It's not a huge deal with a mild allergy to it so you can keep using it until you run out

Nta but I get a little hard spot/bump where I injected. You can’t see it on the surface but you can feel it. Is this normal?

it’s not a visible bruise I have to press on my skin to pinpoint the exact area that’s sore

Some people just have oily skin. You might also have dry skin that isn't getting enough moisturizer. To tell what you have cleanse your face and then dry it but don't put any products, if it looks oily after like 30 minutes its oily skin, if it feels a bit tight and its dry then dry skin. Can be different if different places on your face.

At night I like to put on moisturizer and then an oil (I use argan) to trap the moisturizer, and then my skin doesn't make it's own shitty oil. Using a toner has also helped my nose a lot

I've recently discovered that dydrogesterone actually works. It's a synthetic progestin and unlike the bioidentical progesterone you retards stick up your ass, it has high oral bioavailability, doesn't get metabolized into bullshit neurosteroids that make you sleepy and drunk, and has extremely specific targeting only for progesterone receptors (no side effects). Since being on it, my formerly stalled breast buds have come back and I've been having noticeable breast growth

You can find it at many DIY pharmacies usually under the brand name duphaston

I found it by reviewing lists of progestins and their pharmacology to find the ones that have the lowest off target receptor activation, and then looking at pharmacies to see which ones are available/cheap. I've found a few mentions of it by trans people but so far it seems extremely underappreciated. I'm constantly shocked at how people think oral bio progesterone is going to do anything at all and not have severe side effects from metabolism. And don't even get me started on the rectal...
