is it okay if i DIY without any hormone blood tests? could anything go too bad?
>>41025393most issues will come with an anti androgen like spiro, bicalutamide, or cyproterone. if you do E monotherapy with something other than pills, your risks are pretty low unless if youre doing retard doses
>>41025400yeah i was thinking about taking anti androgen and E pills.
>>41025405its much harder to get effective levels with e pills, and you'll be putting more estrogen in your body, just less of it will get into your blood stream.so its more poisonous to use e pills. and more moody. for example you'd probably have to eat close to 100mg of e pills every week to get okay levels.where with injections you can inject like 5mg-7mg worth and it'll get you superior levels with less estrogen in your body.and depending on what type you inject, its just waaay more mentally stable and effective.dont rush it. let it play out over years. it really takes years to get good results. and there is a certain threshhold where you're just wasting the estrogen.you'd be surprised what kind of levels you can get with as little as 5mg injections a week. its still plenty.theres really no point in going over 10mg injections a week, its really overkill. and will push most people above 1,000 or high like 800-900 etc or even more.where with e pills. eating 10mg a day. might get you to 100-150. at certain times of the day. and it drops off very rapidly. sub 100 within 6-7 hours.
>>41025451i'm not sure where to get injections here but i'll try. is it fine if i take pills if i can't find injections or is there a hugee difference that i should just keep looking for it?
>>41025393In you are going to go the monotherapy route, you only need bloods done to track your levels. It is not something I would avoid 100%, but you could go a good amount of time between tests without a worry. Once every ~6 months or so would be my recommendation.The problem really is if you are going to use an anti-androgen. You need to track your liver function with them closely because you could end up with liver toxicity or worse.
>>41025483the pills are just way more expensive than getting a vial of estradiol and less effective.its cheaper to buy a box of syringes on amazon or something or at the store or ask any clinic.and a couple vials for a couple years.like when i used to use pills i would spend close to $1k a year. and with vials its like $100 a year.if you live in a trans state, you can get so much hrt things for free if you qualify.i get grands in free hrt in my state. like literally. but i still prefer enanthate vials over valerate vials. but theyre both good. they both work, but enanthate lasts like 2x longer almost.and you should get your levels checked so you know if they're too low/ineffective, or too high.there is risks with higher levels too. like breast cancer. blood clot, stroke, but thats really more risky with the pills.i g2g to bed. just keep studying different things.you really only need 1 or 2 vials and an anti-androgen and you'll be okay.then if you make it over a year or 2, you can add progesterone for a while to round out your tits.if you ever get to progesterone, dont even bother boofing it.you should take it when you have a little food in your belly. not full.. but a snack or something.cause it can be counter effective in some ways.but its a great chemical too. it makes me slightly more social/calm and i sleep great on it.i've never gotten super horny from using it, idk why people say that.i used to boof it and try to max it out, but i get better results just eating them when i have a little bit of food in me.they work better that way for me.also dht killers are good to add to the regimen. estradiolanti-androgenprogesteronedht blockerand you'll turn into a babe within a few yearsthe 1st year is hellish, but once your brain changes and you're used to it. you'll love it if your a tranny.it'll feel good/relieving that you finally get to be who you are.
>>41025607how do i get a free tranny stuff grant
>>41025632just tell them youre a far right extremist and need your balls removed asap. lol jk.some states have very good trans healthcare access. and will hook you up with whatever you want. it also helps to go into those places with already good levels. cause they'll fast track you to the good stuff.all i have to do is ask my doctor and they'll add or reduce whatever i want to take that they can legally prescribe to me.and i get my levels done every 3 months.
>>41025658Cool, so you do those informed consent places?I just drive on over, tell them what I am trying to do and they will work with that?
>>41025662I am not clear if buying vials and using them on myself or going to a planned parenthood is the superior option.
im not here anymore. i have to go to bed. its 6am.and i have to go back out in 12 hours loli have some black guys stuff in my car and i have to get it back to him. he took the wrong bag with him and he just bought new hat, shoes, clothes etc. and when he left he took the wrong bag with him when he was outside so i grabbed his stuff and threw it in my car.so i'm carrying around this dudes stuff and keeping it safe for him but i got to get it back to him tonight at some point when he gets out of work.yeah you all think im a nazi or whatever, but yeah i hang out with the hood too lmfao.
>>41025662yeah they can help you with that if you live near them, literally just call them and they'll check you out within a couple weeks.try to find ones that are nearby so its easy to get to. if you live near them.theres clinics around here like within every 20 miles.
>>41025683coolio, now i just need to come up with some money!
>>41025393yea i do this. check out if there's any groups near you doing free blood tests and stuff though cause it's like obviously good. if your levels are too high it can cause issues like osteoporosis and stuff i also do monotherapy i really wouldn't recommend it if you're using an antiandrogen just cause those are a little more complicated and have more side effectsyou'll get an intuitive feel for evaluating your levels over time
