Hey, you can probably guess why I'm taking Zinc supplements. However, I've seen it mentioned a few places it can promote T production and reduce E receptor ability. (and maybe reduce TE conversion? is that a thing?)

However, it's also said that for AFAB it promotes E production, so I don't have much clue what it would do for MtFs…

I'm hoping you wise anons can give better info on this… for now I'm just stopping them though.
(I'm on E monotherapy)

Did I hondose myself? I started taking HRT via injections 18 months ago and I was at 222 pg/ml on the 3rd month, consequently I lowered the dosage gradually to 106 pg/ml over the following 5 months because of mood swings and issues with other meds and stayed at this dosage till now, at 18 months, at which point I decided to increase it again to 150 pg/ml, I will probably increase the dosage even more in the future
My testosterone has been suppressed the entire time (0.28 ng/ml)

>>37480885
This is my question
>>
>>37480933
yes, boofing them bypasses the liver. if you find it unpleasant to take meds that way you can switch to prog injections, but they're hard to get on both diy and prescribed, just less common. you could also do sublingual prog but you'd be guinea pigging, i don't think anybody does that.
on the bright side, after srs you can stick them there instead. so it's not forever
>>
day 12 teahrt order has not arrived
kinda freaking out a little because the thing says 9 days
>>
>>37480970
Another question
Is short term high prog levels better or low level prog levels over long term

As in will I notice changes overnight if I take 5 pills up my ass
>>
>>37480316
lower levels are recommended for the first year or so but you should probably up the dose. have you been checking your T as well? "lower" is relative, you do still wanna fully nuke T
>>
>>37481010
i have no idea tbdesu
would probably recommend not doing that though, rectal meds go right into the blood. so if you did that every five days it'd be crazy peaks and troughs which seems liable to cause some kind of issues. usually stable levels of everything is recommended aside from low e2 ramping up when early transition.
i'm not your mom tho. if you do experiment with it report results

nothing you do can control the pace of international shipping. you've waited this long, wait for the package to arrive. unless you live somewhere that it's common for customs to sieze these things, just be patient
>>
>>37481147
why would customs be involved in domestic shipping
>>
>>37481152
if you're ordering domestically then they wouldn't be. you didn't specify.
in that case yeah just wait. a small shipping delay isn't gonna make or break your transition

but like what if it does and instead of being a

Because I put 5 rn as experimental
>>
>>37481019
yes I checked my levels through blood tests and T was always nuked, to 0.31 ng/ml at the start and then always to 0.28 ng/ml
What levels should I aim for now?
>>
>>37481211
one or two would be a normal dose yeah. i stopped prog but i was on 200 a day
>>
>>37481233
it's in the thread OP lol. aim for trough above 200, too high is unideal but better than too low. then when you're stable at new dose start prog
>>
started hormones yesterday (cautious doses -- 2mg sublingual EV split four ways/day, 12.5mg cypro every other day) and experiencing a tightness under my sternum/above my heart when i take an EV dose, how worried should i be?

is 2 years fine to start prog or should i wait longer?

I'm switching from Valerate to Enanthate, do I need to like stay off injections and wait a while before I do the Enanthate injection - or am I fine just injecting it 7 days after my last Valerate injection?
>>
>>37486059
i'd do it a bit earlier, enanthate takes like 2-3 weeks to build-up and then stay stable and having higher levels for a short while won't do anything bad
same thing for not injecting for a short while if you've been on hrt for a few months

so vial says 40 mg/ml and i want to inject 4 mg, that means i should do 0.1 ml, right?

How fast do the first noticeable effects of estrogen start? Not necessarily appearance changes, just any effects/side effects

most noticeable effect is boob pain
should take about a week more or less iirc

idk i'm at 18 months rn and my boobs are still growing but i think I'm at 3? i plan to start at 2 years, should i just start it at tanner 4 instead whenever that is?
>>
>>37494002
I have nothing solid to base this off of but starting prog might specifically help you get to the next stage of development or maybe even cut potential growth time in earlier stages short depending on where you're at just like high does of E to start with might

2 years is probably safe, I started at 1 and I've been happy with my results (which have slowed a lot but are still continuing along with intermittent pain at 4+ years)

I don't know if this is the place to ask or if I should make a thread, but I'm about to start hrt and need tips on weight cycling. Mostly just when I should start gaining weight in relation to starting hrt and when it's a good idea to lose it again. And also any tips on breast growth. I've seen people say that there's ways to make sure they come in looking more natural. I just want to make sure I do this the best I can
>>
>>37495394
get slightly chubby if you aren't already & just wait. fat cycling is a meme
>>
I've got some EEn from Vanna dated Aug 2023.
I stopped DIYing to go NHS but I'm loathing patches/gel.
Would the EEn be good still & is there an obvious way to tell?
>>
>>37495414
Okay, but implying it's not a meme, what's the best way to do it? I'm incredibly anxious and knowing that it's a thing that people do and that it could work means that I have to do it
>>
>>37495923
the way i went about it (and I'm getting pretty good results so far) is to be at the lower end of average weight when you start and then around 3 months start eating. estrogen basically adds on to what you already have but you don't want to start on nothing because breast tissue begins developing from fat. you're already burning fat 24/7, so once you're on hrt it's a matter of time before you get maximum results. if you want to you can bounce back and forth 10 lbs but depending on your starting point it really doesn't expedite the process all that much and you're better off just putting on the weight IMO.
>>
>>37496040
Got it, I'll keep that in mind. I'll try to shed a few pounds before I start then. I'm like almost exactly average, but it floats around. Thank you
>>
Has anyone used alldaychemist? I always thought it was a legit store but I have a friend that was trying to order finasteride, but didn’t check out after entering shipping info, now they keep getting called by a jeet demanding that they complete the order
>>
>>37497583
it was legit back in the day
>>
>>37480004
Zinc is fine, Vitamin B12 lowers your E levels though, that's like the one common supplement to be careful with
>>37495394
weight cycling is anonscience, based on actual science you are probably best off having a high caloric activity in general, so burn a lot and eat a lot
but no one knows really, in the end it's probably mostly genetics
personally I lost some weight before starting HRT and then tried to gain double what I lost back and I'm not sure that really made that much of a difference but I'm happy with my body ig (still underweight)
>>37495832
if it's clear and you kept it away from light it should be fine
>>
>>37499370
not OP but does taking vitamin D supplements (pills) do anything to your E or T or etc levels ? (gonna be) on EEn monotherapy if that matters
>>
>>37500941
No, Vitamin D is good to have and most people have a deficiency so supplement away

Hey /hrtgen/, currently posting from a VPN because I’m in China and obtaining your antiboyotics is so easy here.
I walked into a local pharmacy and grabbed spiro for just $2 (USD) per pack of 100. No checks at all. I had to show ID to prove I was an adult but that was pretty much just a formality. It really is just that easy.
People sell E online too and I’m pretty sure some pocket money will be enough to get me a lifetime supply. God bless this country.

Free T .006 nmol/L

>>37502689
It’s my first time in China so I can’t pretend I know so much. But Shanghai is a good place. Some people say people from Shanghai are more selfish. I haven’t experienced this at all personally.
My main opinion is that China is great because it’s very affordable especially if you’re coming with foreign pay. Also, so far the attitude I experienced was that as long as you have money nobody gives a fuck about regulations with regards to HRT. It’s literally just if you’re buying, someone’s selling, no questions asked, end of story. To me that’s very refreshing. Even better, they’re selling for very cheap. I mean $2 for 100 spiro tablets. Money is just not an obstacle to HRT over here, you don’t even need to worry about health insurance covering it or not because it’s so cheap you can afford it and not even notice the cost.
And of course it’s also far safer than what I expected. You really won’t have any trouble with ***youths*** in the street or anything.
