I recently (2-3mo) changed my dose from 0.25mg E/7days to 0.25mg E/5days because i kept getting really sad around day 6-7, but this weirdly impacted my mood on the other days. its not necessarily bad so im going to keep on it but here's how my life looks:day 0 (pre-injection): tired, a little mopeyday 0 (post-injection): improved mood/energy in a non-linear (maybe a sigmoid) function starting between 20min to 2h after my injection. might have to do with proximity between the injection site and blood vessels (i inject subq into my thigh)day 1: lots of energy, i get pretty obsessed with my projects and very productive.day 2: overwhelmingly horny like my stomach hurts and i genuinely arch my shit from how badly i need to be fucked if im not constantly distracting myself. im still high energy but a little distracted by the horny. its actually kind of annoying at timesday 3: kind of same as day 2 but less intense. id say medium energy, medium hornyday 4-5: slow trend towards lower energy, borderline asexualday 6 (if i miss my shot): mopey, cant focus, asexual, v self conscious.what the fuck, how am i supposed to get anything done if i only have 1 day with a clear head. does anyone else experience something similar?
>>42073795you mean ml? no one knows what dose you're doing or what carrier you're doing. im going to guess valerate its normal to do valerate every 5 days cause it does tank out very abruptly and it feels like shit.
>>42073902no i mean mg. i converted from ml and mg/ml because > no one knows what dose you're doing or what carrier you're doing.also yeah its valerate and I know about the half life. I'm more wondering what other people's injection cycle (not in a trannyperiod hon way just its a loop) feels like. do you take EEN? does it feel different than I described?
>>42073991actually wait i fucked up the conversion because im drunk and its day 2. yeah 5 mg. 0.25ml 20mg/ml
>>42073795Glegle is a shit forced meme made up by groomers. Gwnbam
>>42073991nta but i've been on een for four years and never had any perceptible ups or downs of any sort which correlated with injections. very stable all the time, as far as i could tell. i'm just starting ev for the first time (prescription unfortunately) and hoping i do not feel this way lol. i am injecting 5mg every 5 days as well>>42074096
>>42074096fuck you xiniren i like glegle and i WILL cut off my cock if you keep slandering her
>>42073795Important question, are you doing subq or IM injections?I do 3.5mg (recently went down from 4mg) EV weekly subq and I don't really get mood swings at all based on it. When I did 3mg I did feel a bit down a day or so before my next shot, but nothing crazy.Subq is more gradual it seems. If you're currently doing IM, might be something worth considering.
>>42074671subq, but on a higher dose (5mg every 5 days into the subq fat around my thighs). i felt kinda how you're describing on 3mg but maybe a little more intense. it's also pretty recent after 2.5y. how long have you been on hrt?
>>42074691been a little over a year for me. also do thighs.i'm surprised you're having such noticeable swings on 5mg, thats kinda crazy high imo, but everyone's different i guess...>it's also pretty recent after 2.5yoh, so it just came out of nowhere then after years? hrmm.
>>42074772well i switched up my dose which is what caused this shift but its always been some kind of cycle with the injection schedule. idk i feel like im the only one
>>42074783you're getting your levels checked, right? i'm told more E doesn't do anything after a certain point except give you more blood clots.maybe you're just doing it wrong idk
>>42073795I have the exact same thing going on except that my energy is also dependent on me forcing myself to do better.I am 19 months in on 5mg/every 5days EV
>>42074837i should get them, its been a while and i have no excuse. anecdotally i can say my boobs hurt more and i can feel the increase in ductile mass in them on the higher dose. i should start prog soon but (and i say this in a non-gooner way) i am worried that it will compound with the weird libido behavior from the higher E dose and cause me to make poor decisions. also i'm sure there is a point at which the risks outweigh the benefits but you should read more studies on estradiol levels in cisgender women, they're much less worried about it for them.>>42074872good to know
>>42073795lol real i have this issue as well but i've been doing 16mg fortnightly and when i started doing it i was like a wild animal for a bit there but after a few weeks it got more manageable
