the op pic says take 5mg of een or ec a weekhow common is it for people to take 4mg instead
anything i should know switching from im to subq? my vials are sesame oil 10mg/ml if that is important. i’ll be using 1/2 inch 30g needles and injecting 2 mg every 3 days. is there any risk of developing scar tissue? i’ll be rotating sites ofc.
did anyone here try taking pio as a 19 bmi twinkhon? I only hear about it in regards to getting rid of moid fat, but could it still help me speed up fat redistribution? I know it would somewhat help, but not sure if it would help enough to be worth it.
Is it normal that transdermal progesterone gives me no libido increase and only makes me relaxed and sleepy? Is my dose too low or is it just disappointing compared to boofing?
>>42876009It should work, but only if you gain some weight while on it.
How long does it take for monotherapy to start suppressing T, my hair has been thinning out pretty rapidly and it's making me paranoid
>>42876838Up to three months for levels to stabilize
>>428756134mg is common, typical dosage is from 4-6mg a week.>>42875738>30g, sesame oil30g is a high gauge for sesame oil, It will most likely be fine, just that drawing and injecting might take longer and require extra pressure since the sesame oil is more viscous compared to MCT. Scar tissue isnt a problem when rotating sites.>>42876391>Is my dose too low or is it just disappointing compared to boofingi would say both.
>>42877136>4mg is common, typical dosage is from 4-6mg a week.so you take 5mg and if it's too high you lower it to 4.5mg or 4mg?my levels were so high (>500pg/ml) i'm still wondering if i overdosed before the testalso is it bad that i got so lightheaded during my blood test i had to lay down for half an hour and the nurse got scared and brought me food?
has anyone tried mimicking menstrual cycle levels and what were the results
How much do you need to spend for a decade of e powder on ali
>>42878010>so you take 5mg and if it's too high you lower it to 4.5mg or 4mg?Yah basically>my levels were so high, i'm still wondering if i overdosed before the testWhat do you mean before the test? also to overdose on estrogen, you would need to take an insane amount. Also, check to see if you take any multi vitamin or any supplement that has biotin in it, that will mess up the test.
Is 4mg ev every 4 days an okay enough starting dose for mono? I’m on my 5th injection and just want to double check that I am not wasting E or hondosing myself
>>42878378Yeah, it's like harder emotionally, and I feel I made it worse for the people around me. I don't really recommend it in retrospect. long half life stuff is nice and is easier to feel more adjusted to the mental side of it i think. Like having such stable E levels, I think, is a secret blessing we get with hrt. weekly doses of een or undecelyate at longer intervals seem better for mental stability.
newfag questions incominghow long do unopened vials usually last before expiring, so i know how much to stock up on/if i can buy in bulk? ill be stuck with my parents for the next 3-4 years until i leave for grad school so id like to order as few packages as possible just to be safeim on my 3rd injection so far, doing 4mg EEn weekly. how can i know if im hondosing myself if blood tests are not available to me? its definitely impacted my mood, ive been very fatigued yet calm, been getting much better sleep than usual. my nipples are also kind of sore. thinking of moving up to 5mg to be safethis one is kind of a reach but do yearly blood tests tend to check for testosterone/estrogen or no? my mother still manages my appointments
>>42880663>4mg ev every 4 daysNo you are not hondosing yourself or wasting E, kinda the perfect balance between the two recommended dosages of 5mg every 5 days to 3mg every 4 days.
>>42880645>Yah basicallyyeah i lowered it for this week's injection i just don't want to keep having to test my levels blood tests suck>What do you mean before the test?before my blood test i wonder if i took too much estrogen>Also, check to see if you take any multi vitamin or any supplement that has biotin in it, that will mess up the test.i fasted before the test would it still mess it up?
>>42880758>i fasted before the test would it still mess it up?no, wait to clarify when are you taking your blood tests? they should be on the day of your injection.>i just don't want to keep having to test my levels blood tests suckyah, but once you figure out your dose and its at a good level you barely need to recheck. >>42880744if stored properly the unopened vials can last for years, your main worry is the carrier oil going rancid. >how can i know if im hondosing myself if blood tests are not available to me?not definite, but clear seminal fluid is usually a bid identifier, going up to 5mg is fine if it means mental peace. >do yearly blood tests tend to check for testosterone/estrogen or no?no, not if there is something to be concerned about. This is up to you, but over 18 you can "revoke" access from your parents to seeing the medical info, you would still be under their plan and everything its just they cant see the info unless you give them access. Also you can just ask to get your testosterone and or estrogen checked in your yearly physical, unless the doc is actually a bigot and wants to lose their job, again they legally cant say anything to your mom, when you are over 18 assuming your in the USA. And at worst the doc will probably ask why your e is so high but cant do anything other than say you shouldn't be doing whatever you are doing.
>>42880944>your main worry is the carrier oil going rancidwdym by rancid? and how do i prevent this>clear seminal fluid is usually a bid identifierum, i checked around 14 days in and nothing has changed, though ive been told it takes around a month on hrt for seminal production to affected? >you can just ask to get your testosterone and or estrogen checked in your yearly physicali will consider this, thank you
I'm not sure if I should start hrt but I have a couple questionsWhat's the average price for oral e and cypro?Whats the difference between buying it online and getting a prescription?Should go with a psychiatrist and get one?Do they give prescriptions for enbys?How noticable are the changes and how much would they affect my daily life?
>>42880990>wdym by rancid? and how do i prevent thiseach vial as a carrier oil, eventually even if stored properly the oil is going to expire(2-3years), rancid. >it takes around a month on hrtYah, around a month in is when T suppression should be at its maxALSO since you are new, SAVE YOURSELF AND GET THE FUCK OFF THIS BOARD. Good luck!!!
>>42881035>https://diyhrt.info/transfem/intro/I would suggest reading this first, might help answer a bulk of your questions.
>>42880751Ok sweet, did a shit load of research while waiting for it to come in the mail but I like to be certain. Ofc haven’t noticed much of anything yet other than a few symptoms of T suppression.
>>42881035>What's the average price for oral e and cypro?oral e kind of sucks. like it will impartially feminize you due to not reaching necessary levels, and probably stunt breast growth because of estrone (jury still out)cheapest source is probably otokono and anyway where for cypro>Whats the difference between buying it online and getting a prescription?if you have insurrance its often cheaper to get pills/ patches through the system. injections are always better to diy though>Should go with a psychiatrist and get one?psychiatrists dont usually prescribe hrt>Do they give prescriptions for enbys?always lie to doctors>How noticable are the changes and how much would they affect my daily life?if you dose well theyll be profound.
>>42881035HRT doesn't do anything besides give you A-cups and kill your dick. You'll be fine
>>42881254mine are D
>>42881035>Whats the difference between buying it online and getting a prescription?prescription: humiliation ritual, hondoseonline: gotta trust a stranger
>>42881535let’s not pretend prescriptions don’t involve trusting many strangers, especially the more fascist the world powers get, i think it’s riskier and riskier to let the state know that you’re a tranny

>voix celeste closing>girlpotion poofed>astrovials paused until further noticeoh my fucking god. this is what i get for being a poorfag and not stocking up. about 2/3rds left on my shit, so like, ill be fine for another half a year but then what.do i just give up the regular injections and switch to estrapen? well, theyre obviously fucking out of stock too according to market, but they seem motivated to not drop the project.or are there any other new brewers? must be eu, dont want customs flagging our address (bf will be upset if it happens, and also official trans healthcare doesnt do injections here so id be fucked)does anyone know how many ml's are in one vial for the pen? cant find it on their site.
>>42884385I'm sure astrovials will resume orders at some point. Maybe you could get raws and mix gel if it does take longer. I know the feeling from back when I depended on flaky pill vendors, it's awful. Hang in there nona
>>42884450that sounds scary but also interesting. but i have no idea where to get raws and how to dose it etc thank you i will keep on keeping on. things be better, things be less better, but we gotta stick around no matter what
>>42884385astrovials will be back up once la poste stops fucking around and starts delivering parcels again
>>42884470There's a subreddit where you can find all the info called r estrogel
>>42884480good to know, thank you>>42884504oh shit, didnt know about it. ill give it a look, thank you
>>42884385relax for 3 more months, if the situation hasn't normalized panic
>>42884728Even if astrovials comes back soon, only one brewer existing in EU is already reason enough to worry
>>42884747estrapen is eu too, and theyre on market so it should be trustworthy but i never see anyone mention it on here.
>>42884979bought from them and got it. have not injected it, as it is backup.
>>42880944>clear seminal fluid is usually a bid identifiergetting mixed info on clear vs none any clarifications?
i really loathe having to inject every week but undecylate is kind of uncharted territory so i dont want to get on that
>>42885547Why? I think injecting is fun. I look forward to it all week
>>42885569i look forward to it all week too but when the time comes im very neurotic about iti have to get in and out of my thigh several times before mustering up the courage to press the plunger and after the fact i have a panic attack about how im going to die half of the time
>>42885700I was like that at first, but I got used to it after a few months
I know testosterone tends to spike while you're on bica since it doesn't stop production, but when that happens, should you increase the bica dose to prevent absorbtion since there's more testosterone?
>>42874550are their any like autistic tranny optimizations for the butt and hips , like their are for the boobs.
>>42886429if you spam squats you get a nice ass...whats the optimization for boobs
>>42886517well , I am a little bit retarded about the subject matter at the moment. and I don't remenber.I am currently just trying to get sources to then look at when less retarded.
how unstall breast growthno progress since year 1 (small cones, not what my genetics would suggest i'd have), i've been on subl/oral/injections with various levels and tried gaining weight etc it never changed, or the gaining weight thing did make them slightly bigger cones but most of the fat went to not theremaybe going to lower E levels would help? like into the range of 100-200 pg/ml? ...for a a month? Does prog unstall it which is not the same as just making breasts temporarily slightly bigger while you take it in anyone's experience?
ik this is kinda a beginner question but what should my trough levels be for monotherapy, and is it bad if estrogen peaks way higher than that? idk im new.
hi can someone invite meh to the pio server please?@durgtep
>>42886560Usually people just say to keep up with your regimen and don't skimp out on meals. In fact gain extra if you want a bigger rack.>>42886620Starting prog will fill your breasts out past the cone shape if they're stuck in it without prog. Gaining makes them bigger but you might also just have been unlucky with the gene lottery. I've been told cypro can be used to become a cup bigger temporarily.
>>42887137can confirm my tits got smaller after stopping cypro. being on prog makes them the same size again. honestly I don't think size gain from prog should be considered temporary. You should be on it permanently unless it causes you issues
>>42885351both, clear means no sperm just the fluid, and then the obvious for none>>42886776you want 200-300 pg/mL with your T being anywhere from 10-50 ng/dL
>>42887599fuck I messed it up>>42886647you want 200-300 pg/mL with your T being anywhere from 10-50 ng/dL>>42886776@kawat0ra im not sure if its the one you are thinking about, it only has like a handful of people who showed their results, but i can send it to you. >>42886030no the bica you are taking is going to block any small spike of T that the bica caused.
>>42881144>oral e kind of sucks. like it will impartially feminize you due to not reaching necessary levelsWhat should I get then? I was considering it so I could pass it off as minoxidil or some shit if my family finds them>>42881535>prescription: humiliation ritual, hondoseShould I risk it then? I could probably get a prescription but the dosing and time worry me
How will the current global situation impact the medium term availability of diy hrt?
whats a good dosage of dutasteride if still getting masculinization even tho my levels r fine?
>>42887822what kind of masculinization and what are you already on
>>42888266ive noticed my face is gotten more masc i think, like browbone and stuff, im on 8mg oral daily, 200mg prog daily, and abt to start dutasteride
>>42888373are you on an AA and do you have levels?
is this enough for a blood test for a DIYer or should i keep looking?
>>42890820looks pretty perfect. might need LH if you have issues, and free E2% is always nice to have, but that looks good.
>>42880744>blood tests are not available If you want to be sure that t is suppressed without labs, you need to dose way higher. I think lena recommends 11mg/week. What you are on right now is the minumum for mono, which is not what you want without having labs to confirm it works.
>>42880944>when are you taking your blood tests?2 days before injection>they should be on the day of your injection.i couldn't get them done on injection day>yah, but once you figure out your dose and its at a good level you barely need to recheck.at the time of the test my levels were around 500 pg/ml e and 16 ng/dl t even not at trough this is like 2x what is expected at my dosage so i'm wondering if i drew too much by accident that week or there's an error in the testbut even if i'm accidentally drawing 6mg these levels seem highthe smart thing to do is go down to 4mg then retest but having to retest stresses me out
>>42892213>11mg/weekwtf wouldn't your e levels be like 1000 pg/ml or something crazy dangerous
>>42892330Probably < 1000. But without tests, you don't know. Some people may be at 500, some at 900. But even levels in the 1000 range aren't that dangerous. If someone responds very poorly, it could be lower than 500. So the point of dosing like this is mostly about making sure the dose works for everyone, which is what you want without labs. I think 8 mg/week is already pretty safe, but lena says 11.
>>42890995okie dokie, thanks. now to save up $220
>>42892443If price is an issue, you could only test e2, t, LH. These will show you if it is working, the others are nice to have.
>>42892458i believe it was the cheapest option that had e2 and free t, lots of the hormone panels offered specialized to t or e. i could double check ig
>>42892660Go there and tell them exactly what you need. You don't need to take a package deal.
is there a diy hrt server?
>>42893729would be nice(six seven eight)
how bad is it to switch injection site? doing thigh but wanna switch to tummy
>>42895782why would it be bad
>>42896018im just paranoid that it could be
>>42892330>>42892434what would be the risks of high doses? why not just give myself pregnant levels
would heating the balls do anything to T levelsi am trying it but am starting to feel weird
>>42895782No, its literally recommended to switch injection sites
>>42896048What are pregnant levels? Those go from 1.000 to ~40.000pg/ml. Thrombosis risk rises with levels, going super high could be bad. But we don't really know how bad I think. There are a lot of people who are around ~2000 for years and doing fine. The question is, why go there? The people who are doing this just say they feel better at those levels. But nobody goes much higher. And a lot of people say they hate being at those levels too.
