>>41508516not gonna happen
I’m running low on my vial, but it’s been so long since I ordered hrt that I’m not sure if I should go with the same vendor I went with last time. Is Otokonoko still the main vendor that people in the U.S. go with for enanthate?
yay hrtgen :)i have questions about pio if you would answer>dosage>regimen (timeline/cycles/calories/idk)>can i exercise while on it? if i exercise (like for building muscle) will the lessened fat development impact the efficacy of pio?>are there known best practices for pio?>anything else i should know idkthank you kindly all
Anyone here who is on progesterone, is it normal to have increased/slightly thicker body hair with it? I've been on it about 2 months and am noticing darker hairs, and a few facial hairs that have turned dark again from white and it has me worried. My blood tests don't check for dht unfortunately, is this normal though?
hi can anyone help me interpret my blood results pleasemy oestradiol levels are 209 pmol/l and my testosterone levels are 1.6 nmol/li feel like my estrogen levels are too low, and my testosterone is too high -- if anyone has hrt guidelines using pmol/l please let me know. ive done the conversion and stuff, it seems like my levels are low but id like obviously a second set of eyes
>>41508687i think its mostly opengateslab now
>>41509128its fine, maybe a bit too low e, but t looks not bad
>>41509215thank you. ive messed up my injections for the past 2 instances which i figure are the reason for it, iirc i should be anywhere from 250 pmol/l to about 500. in a couple months when i get my next set of bloods i wanna be around ~375for further context ive been on injections for 3 months or so, atleast i know now where to fix up and whats going right
>>41508173ive never done blood tests
>>41509360how long hrt? you should deffinitellly do blood tests
>>415093832 years. i should but it sounds extremely embarrassing and also money
>>41509390fair point
What's the best way to start HRT? Just buy some shit and inject it?Im tired of living a half-life
>>41510440>Just buy some shit and inject it?that's what I did
>>41509390same on all accounts except it’s only been about 11 months for me
I have some genetic liver issues which makes me more likely to get things like fatty liver/cirrious if i was an alcoholic.I asked my doc, but what type of HRT is generally the least pressing on your Liver? Injection/patches?
>>41510763anything that you don't swallow. injection and patches.
>>41509033to my knowledge this is more common a side effect of taking it orally. i have been on prog rectally for about three months now and i'm honestly seeing a reduction in body hair but idk what that's about really. but yes this is a side effect and most ppl will tell you to solve it by boofing. i have heard that it can also occur through rectal administration, though...
>>41510968I already boof it. Do you know the mechanism of this? Maybe I'll reduce from 200mg to 100mg for now
>>41508173Girls, I know it's stupid but:> be me, MtF> 10 years hrt> on legit> 159 pmol/L E, 17.2 SHBG, post-op ng/dl T> Endo says: It's fine, hon> Have breasts, so must be true> Legit HRT banned in my country, need to go on injectables> 1042 pmol/L E, 48.1 SHBG, post-op ng/dl TWhat am I in for? Chat said that it'd be like starting my transition all over again. What do you guys think?
I’ve been preg dosing valerate for 2 years and I’ve become too anxious to take shots. levels were 521/E and 27/T at trough last time I got them taken and my endo wanted me to go TWO weeks between shots to lower my E. We ended up deciding to do 6mg e pills and 50mg bica. Will this fuck anything up? I was getting marginal changed on injections still getting morning wood and occasional random erections. anyways I’m hopeful the bica will stop whatever random androgens that are slowing my progress. I’ve heard switching methods of delivery can kick start progress again.
>>41510472What do you recommend? Purchase-site wise?
>>41512387omfg just pick one from a country you hate the least. I do astrovials
>>41512405>omfgMy bad
>>41512387Astrovials in the States, Voix Céleste in the EU.diyhrt.wikiestrannai.seChoose your poison:> OPSEC is an issue - EUn. You need 1 injection every month +- 2 weeks, so you canfind a very secure and inconvinient place for your kit.> OPSEC is not an issue - EEn. You need 1 injection a week +- 3 days, and since it's thinner, it's far more simple to tolerate, and to have your levels set correctly.
nobody tells you how sublingual estrogen is supposed to work, i've tried to take it sublingually and i have no idea what's going on, it seems like it's working, but it comes with a high chance of accidentally swallowing most of it
>>41508173sublingual e nuked my testosterone at 2mg twice a day, is that normal? im on bica so my t levels being nuked is not due to the aa>>41513415just dont swallow a lot itll work
>>41513430that's way easier said than done
>>41513475i never had such issues do you suffer from hypersalivation
>>41513506idk, but you never really realize how much saliva you make until you're trying not to make it, and i'm pretty new to that process
>>41508173i might be gone for 1-2 days when a vial of estradiol is supposed to arrive while temperature outside is like 10 degrees off of room temperature (celsius). would it be fine if i just left it for a bit because it's still in packaging or do i need to get someone who's able to pick it up if it does come while i'm gone?>>41509033i would assume this is DHT conversion happening
Hey hrtgen, I was on diy monotherapy for two years and had no issues at all, but my levels were pretty high (like 300 trough). Two months ago I finally got an endo and switched to pills + spiro + prog, and have been noticing a lot of hair thinning suddenly at my roots, and what seems like hairline receding too...What could be happening and what should I do? I'm still getting my levels adjusted, I didn't realize I was supposed to take the E pills under the tongue so my last blood test my E was at 85 and my T was 111, so I'm technically t-dominant. Should I be worried about like DHT conversion from the prog? Or is it just the spiro flushing out old hairs? I'm so confused.
>>41513012diyhrt.wiki is extremely outdated. diyhrt.info is the correct updated source
>>41512405>>41513012IIRC astrovials doesn't ship to the USA post tarrifs
>>41515594yeah i figured it was diff now. too lazy to look into it
buy from opengatelabs or else
