tranniversary was friday and the first website i found said that during tanner 4
> areola (the part that’s red or darker at the nipple) forms a separate mound over the mound of breast tissue.
my left nipple is puffy/its own mound sometimes. is that enough to say i’m in tanner 4, or should i wait? i haven’t noticed the same shit on my right tit either

is opengatelabs sublingual e safe to swallow? i used to take oral valerate and i switched to sublingual but it's not as good for me so far. i asked ai and it said that sublingual has higher peaks and lower troughs and that oral can raise shbg more and also increase water retention from the liver. i only need to take like 1mg because im nb and sensitive to e so i dont think the liver is a big issue. ai was suggesting 0.5mg oral in the morning and then 0.5mg sublingual at night

17betaestradiol pills are better for sublingual but any micronized valerate pills will work too. it needs to be micronized tho

Does anyone have experience switching from valerate injections to enanthate? I ask because my dose is not radically different and my T was nuked in both cases but my sex drive pretty much just died switching to enanthate.

Insulin syringe vs luer lock?

>>41802075
For me it took 4 days to ship after placing the order, then 4 days to arrive

would i be okay to just start EEn injections and do monotherapy or should i also get on bicalutamide?
>>
>>41802440
seconding your question. i’ve got luer lock now because that’s the recommendation i saw on like, the planned parenthood website, but more recently i’ve seen people recommend insulin syringes instead because switching needles wastes e
>>
>>41803282
its fine to do monotherapy from the beginning. you just need an antiandrogen if you're not able to keep your E2 levels above 200pg/mL which is something very easy to do with injections
>>
>>41804746
i see..
i am p much ready to start but ive been agonizing over it for days. i was thinking of 4mg EEn for my first shot but am i going to feel awful at first? like my T and E would both be high at the same time for at least some period of time and i cant imagine that being nice which is why bica tempts me but at the same time monotherapy is just better bcs id be taking less meds

and when would it make sense to get tested after the first shot?
>>
>>41804938
desu you either start with the dosage you're planning to take or with a higher loading dose. like for example just once take a 7mg dose and then you go to your standard 5mg per week you know
and no you should wait like at least 6 weeks or 2 months before blood tests
>>
But guys! Isn't it illegal to get pharmaceuticals without a valid prescription!!!
>>
>>41805084
but will i be able to function? or do ppls experiences vary
i just am scared because idk if ill be able to work properly, not a physically intensive job but yeah... like i cant afford to not work for weeks/months

i am stuck at tanner 3 breasts while being 2 years on hrt (5mg ev/7d) and struggling with eating consistently, will i have more growth if i start eating properly or is it over?
>>
>>41805797
are your levels good? EV isnt really meant for weekly shots (EEn is better for that). its more recommended to do it every 4 or 5 days
anyway yes, eating properly and having a healthy BMI helps
also take a look on the 7. panel on op guide, maybe it can help you??
>>
my e levels are 250 at through but i read somewhere being at 700+ is ovulation levels and more optimal. is it just cap or should i actually go for that much
>>
>>41807173
no. E2 that high will only bring you problems and you wont get a "better" feminization. if its =>200pg/mL you're fine for monotherapy

question abt astrovials vials

i shouldnt remove the top metal part right? the stopper's already visible and there's nothing that should be covering it? seems a little counterintuitive cuz it isnt flush with the metal part, so sterilizing it will be harder than normal, so just checking

saw a thread a while ago abt someone with the same fears and that got me paranoid that i'm gonna do smth wrong lol
>>
Cool, fuck you. I checked the address on the checkout email and its correct, should've just bought from astrovials.
Guess ill have to detrans for 1-2 months now.

how do i dose een if its my first time on hrt ever? should i do 2mg weekly then 5mg after a few months on that?
no aa, mono.
>>
>>41808588
it should be the opposite actually lol you do a loading dose or just go straight to 5mg every 7 days, theres no problem in that
>>
>>41808681
is the idea you should go on a lower dose at first either wrong or not applicable to injections?

>>41796936
If I take a larger than normal dose of progesterone will it make me more horny?
>>
>>41808734
only makes sense if you are using AAs. doing that with injections (assuming monotherapy) would just not suppress your T levels for the first couple months, which would kinda go against the whole reason for monotherapy in the first place, and would stagger feminization
>>
Where do people get DIY stuff for injections now? I've been on implants with my doctor like 5 years but she retired and none of the other doctors in the clinic will manage it

sorry im reading the guide for the first time. so for monotherapy, the guide is saying its possible but not reliable to achieve with just taking EV pills sublingally/orally? so if i took pills i should get an AA until my bloods prove otherwise?

has anyone here ever experienced masculinization post-orchi and how did you deal with it? specifically worried about dht levels but i don't think blood tests for it are that reliable
>>
>>41811314
yup. monotherapy is commonly thought as a mechanic only injections can reach and maintain consistently. i've read cases where people managed to reach T-suppressing levels of E with pills and stuff, but YMMV and you'd be putting a lot of work for things we already have an answer for

Hey all. Currently about to switch from 3mg Sublingual E + 12.mg/day CPA, to 5mg EEn. Is it safe to keep taking my old regimen after my first injection? Plan is to keep taking it and stop once a full week passes, where the E from the loading EEn dose would take over as the main force of feminization.

Is there anything to my methods, or am i just overthinking it?
>>
>>41810941
panacea pharma
>>
pg8
>>
>>41814341
i mean, no need to take two sources of E. you could take CPA twice that week for example, but desu i think you could just do a loading dose instead. take a 7mg EEn just this week and the go for your 5mg weekly regim
>>
>>41814174
best thing is obviously doing blood tests for DHT, even tho they aren't 100% you have a notion
if you're really scared about it and is certain you got signs of masculinization, try adding 1mg of dutasteride per week (not daily, just take 0.5mg of it twice a week), thats what dr will powers recommend and hes basically the biggest one talking about the importante of checking DHT levels out there
>>
since bicalutamide has an incredibly long half-life, why can't i do it much less than once every other day after about a month of daily use? by then even once a week should keep up levels well shouldn't it?
>>
>>41818243
half life is the time it takes for half the drug to be removed/metabolized

if you take 100mg of a drug with a 12hr half life every day you will have a have more of it in your system at the time of your next dose than if you were to take the same drug every 72 hours.

im too stupid to explain it better but you can try it out on this site and see how much less bica will be in your blood if you try the regimen you just described:

i do im so can't help you with subq
injection tips that help me:
calmly talk myself through the initial penetration as if i am my own nurse (i guess i am)
remind myself that i am a badass for doing my own injections and looking after myself
food incentives - before injecting prepare a post injection snack, which can help in case of needle induced blood pressure drop. and it's another thing to look forward to

oomfies im kinda worried my T hasn't been supressed enough

ive been on 25mg bica for like 4 years and over that time i had more facial hair come in.

which i delt with through probably $5,000-6,000 worth of laser and electrology.

could it have just been my age (when ppl normally get beards) or is my T too high?

it was at 36 last year and 104 this year but its bica so who knows right? should i increase my bica?
>>
pg9
>>
>>41822189
okay
and how do you know what a half life is but end up thinking that you can magically maintain the 50mg/day levels of bica by taking it once a week?
>>
>>41818243
yea, bica builds up to a steady state level which is about 10x the daily dose and takes a week to fall to half the levels. u can take 7x ur daily dose once a week. bica is so powerful anyway 10mg a day is effective for trannies/women

>>
>>41824762
when did you start taking hrt?
>diane 35
thats dangerous because of the ethinylestradiol. stop taking it, and double your EV pills. if you're feeling signs of your T supressed with 100mg of spiro, keep taking it, if not, double it or replace it with cyproterone acetate or bicalutamide
>>41822017
both can work but 5mg is the standard. do blood tests in like 2/3 months and then readjust the dosage if needed
>>41822217
>104
104ng/dL of T? if so, thats a high T. we need to have them at least below 50ng/dL but ideally below 30ng/dL. go for 50mg of bica or change to CPA, or go for monotherapy

I live in an informed consent state. Daily dosage:
>100mg spironolactone orally in morning
>4mg estradiol sublingual in the morning, 4mg again in evening
>100mg progesterone orally
Been on HRT for over a year and a half, haven't even graduated out of training bras. I'm unironically considering boofing my progesterone. Anyone done it? Would I be OK to just boof my oral meds? Does it actually make a difference?
>>
>>41826185
8mg of EV subilingually is a high dose for pills, you're not being hondosed. but i would try to split it in 3x a day, like 2mg in the morning, 2mg in the afternoon and 4mg at night bc of the sublingual short half-life
you can take 200mg of progesterone, its fine, but you should take it rectally. the absortion is so much better than orally. even if you kept taking the same dosage but rectally you would probably feel difference already.
idk for sure about spiro, but i know people that take CPA that can stop taking it once they start taking progesterone because it will supress your T too. you could try doing some research on that.

but anyway, tldr: try to split your E in like 3 times a day instead of 2 and take your prog, either 100 or 200mg, rectally

>>41825893
your levels are probably not that bad because of two incomes of estradiol (afaik 0.035mg of EE is the same as 2mg of EV) and 2 incomes of antiandrogen. which as i said, its not nice. try as much as you can to stop taking diane and then do as i said, double your EV pills and you will probably need to double your spiro too because once you stop taking diane you will stop taking the cyproterone from it
>>
>>41826561
alright so ill shift to 4mg ev sublingual and 200 mg spiro when i can in 2 months,thank you for help
>>
>>41826812
np. bear in mind that you should do blood tests too when you're able to. some people will need like 6mg of EV daily while on pills, specially after a few months on hrt. but for 2-6months of hrt its ok to be on 4mg. anyway, what matters the most is your levels, so do blood tests when you're able to. good luck ^^

Lowkey considering on upping my dose even tho I only started this month. Doing 25 mg of CPA and 2 oestrogel pumps. Maybe i'm being to impatient
>>
>>41831043
>25 mg of CPA
every other day, right? high doses of CPA can lead to meningioma if taken for too long. no need to use a dose higher than 12.5mg daily of CPA (and after a while you can even go for like 12.5mg every other day or 3 times a week, CPA is very strong)
anyway, yes, you're being impatient, thats a standard dosage for the first month. use those 2 pumps for now and like in middle december you double your dosage
