take your HRT, based retard
>>
>>44079222
1) because i might try to start diy soon
2) i forgot to take it off
3) also because i want to


i'd like to start but i don't really knew where and how i should
not sure if i'm a repper really, i'd like to come out but for reasons i can't really and i'm too scared to be honest
>>
i am getting my levels checked thursday, when should i do my shot? i did it monday.
>>
>>44079449
test your levels on the day of injection, but before the injection itself
>>
>>44079313
piggybacking off this
is starting diy as simple as buying some pills ect? or do i need more stuff and blood work first? i want to try it but i have no fucking idea how to start
>>
>>44079600
No silly repper, DIY isn’t something a simple repper mind could ever understand or accomplish sadly.
>>
>>44079313
Okay that's based, I'm still repping as well.
>>
what e range is good for a trans woman
>>
>>44079600
It's good to get a baseline check of your levels beforehand to know what youre working with. I started without blood work tho.
>>
>>44079980
400-600pmol/l trough for mono therapy.
>>
>>44080330

thank you, so im not getting hondosed (if thats a thing for trans women)
>>
>>44079600
>is starting diy as simple as buying some pills ect?
its as simple as buying a vial of estradiol enanthate. thats the diy way. that and injection supplies that you can find in any pharmacy.
pills are suboptimal.
>or do i need more stuff and blood work first?
you dont "need" anything other than the vial, but getting bloodwork is preferable yeah.
>>
>>44079600
You need to mentally prepare yourself for what will happen,
its going to be easier to cry, emotions in general will be more powerful (you might even feel like you can use them ON other people or FOR specific things when you've never felt like that before, you're not evil that's just being a woman, don't use it for bad things)
Your sexual orientation will not change, its proven by science, but if you never felt comfortable liking men then you might suddenly start liking men, that's not the same as making you gay. You were already always attracted to men if this happens
Your butt and legs will expand if you gain weight, be careful not to overeat or you will have to buy new clothes right away. Don't try to buy clothes in advance before you gain weight, just wait for it to happen and then review your wardrobe after like 6 months then again at 1 yr, etc.
After 3 months you will be physically weaker, and after 5 months about the same as a woman so be aware you won't be able to lift and carry as much as before. You can lift weights to counteract it but you have to lift a lot more as a woman for the same gains in strength as a man.

Try new foods, estrogen affects the way you process taste and smell, and also your color vision, try exposing yourself to art or going to a museum or a beautiful place and see the difference in your soul
>>
>>44080750
i know pills ect are worse than injections i just don't like needles
i think i've only had one or two injections for vaccines and stuff before but i still don't like them
injections mean i don't have to take any AA's right?
also vials are kind of expensive, i have some money but not a job yet.
also also i don't want to hide needles in my house from my parents (because i haven't told them about it)

my whole situation's pretty fucked and i need professional help but for now i'm up the creek without a boat nevermind a fucking paddle
i don't know what to do anymore but i think i want this
>>
>>44080690
Hondosing is definitely a thing for MTF, and FTM.
>>
Okay, I have a question! I've recently started HRT (~2 months) but am getting it from the WPATH to hondom, so keep that in mind. I'm worried about my hairline receding or thinning further, because it has a bit over time. It's currently at a state where it's okay but I wouldn't want it to get any worse and would rather have it improve. Anyway, I know that testosterone causes androgenic alopecia to continue. I managed to get injectable estrogen valerate (I'm supposed to do 5 mg per week but I generally do 6), but I was scared away from doing t blockers (spironolactone). My provider said I shouldn't take it unless I don't want proper breast development. I definitely am experiencing symptoms of lowered testosterone from the injections like no more spontaneous erections and I've grown some small cone breasts so far, but is her statement wrong? Am I getting hondosed? Suggestions on what to do?
>>
>>44081365
No you’re not being hondosed unless you have naturally extremely high T production. If you are worried about hair loss, take bical & a DHT blocker like dutasteride. DHT is the primary cause of male pattern baldness, not T, but if you are paranoid adding bicalutamide wouldn’t hurt like spiro might.
>>
Ive been on hrt for 2+ years now and am thinking about starting prog so what should I know before starting it and how much I should be taking at minimum and maximum with different methods? also should I start doing some additional blood tests after starting it?
>>
>>44081613
200mg nightly gel capsules anally is kinda the default. If you don’t like the anal part, there are various pump options which you just rub into your skin some DIYers make these. I’ve heard they’re good and have a lot of the benefits of the anal administration.

If you can, test DHT and ensure it doesn’t increase after starting it. Some people rarely have a P->DHT conversion pathway, which seems to take place only when the medication goes through the liver (anal administration bypasses this). You can take anti DHT drugs if you end up having that to prevent the conversion.
>>
>>44081725
Im fine with boofing or however it's called but what about the dosage orally and can you put it under the tongue as people do with e pills? because I still havent checked if I accidentally bought some hard pills and is there a big difference between 150 and 200 mg taken anally?
>>
>>44081725
>Some people rarely have a P->DHT conversion pathway, which seems to take place only when the medication goes through the liver (anal administration bypasses this)

chiming in bc this is important. we don't actually know where the P->DHT conversion takes place, and dosing prog rectally does not necessarily bypass it. the options for treatment are duta and bica, and if you trust it, spiro.

that or dosing a progestin my hydroxyprog. the differences in progestogenic effects of bioidentical vs progestins are not known atm though.

>>44081365
6mg EV a week could be enough, but it also could not be enough. use established baselines

>>44079980
200-700pg/mL to maximize free E2%

What's the femboy hrt regiment?
>>
>>44084853
No such thing as a "femboy" hrt regimen.
You can take a DHT blocker to prevent balding if that's what you mean. And doing exercises like squats and running will give you a feminine butt.
But with estrogen it essentially boils down to you either properly block T and feminise normally or you don't, "microdosing" is a placebo and a meme, and people who try to get your hopes up about "femboy hrt" are lying to you.
>>
Im on a wait list for starting hrt till like mid august, I dont wanna wait it out but idk what to do now
>>
>>44084853
take raloxifene alongside e
>>
>>44084986
doesn't work
>>
>>44084853
Bical and dutasteride with no E maybe.
>>
>>44084853
High dose Bicalutamide or GnRH agonists plus raloxifene to prevent breast growth and osteoporosis. 5ar inhibitors like dutasteride are also helpful.
>>
>>44085386
Note, to expand on this this has medical risks please look into the risks of having low/blocked T and no E. There are reasons no doctor will prescribe this.
>>
What should I say to a doctor if I want to get a blood test without outing myself?
t. mtf
>>
>>44085715
Uh I got a male hypogonadism diagnosis for free tests. Once the dr reads the tests they’ll probably know though, or be confused and think you have some weird condition. Say you’re concerned about sexual function (can’t get erection, can’t produce cum) and want to get ALL of your sex hormone levels checked.
>>
>>44085715
your doctor will see your lab results. you could posture that you've been feeling weird about your energy level and your sex drive has changed

>>44084853
mono ralox.

>>44084986
if this is done ralox must be dosed far in excess of E, and even then you are gambling

>>44085386
monodosing bica will cause local aromatization and breast growth.

Not if you're taking raloxifene or some other SERM.

>as simple as
yes it really is. i would do injections tho. its like $60 for a vial that lasts a year or two and $20 for a hundred syringes. you dont have to get bloodwork but it can be nice for not wondering after. like i have mild regret that i cant know if i had low t without quitting for a few months which im not gonna do.

if you have a crypto account you could have it in your hands in 3-5 business days. if you dont you have to take a selfie with your id to get passed kyc requirement and it could take like a week to get approved. but you just buy the bitcoin or litecoin on like coinbase send it to your wallet then to the diy sites wallet and then it shows up in your mailbox. i already had an acct so i got it even faster than i was actually ready

>>44080990
would they be supportive tho? it might not be bad to get "caught" it could help them realize you are serious about it
and yeah no AAs which means no shitty side effects

i was scared too but needles really arent so bad and i got totally used to it really fast

>>44080330
that sounds high, but reasonable. i always hear 300-400. any sources or reason for the 600?
>>
>>44080934
>Try new foods, estrogen affects the way you process taste and smell, and also your color vision,
does anyone else feel like they are microdosing mdma constantly? like the colors feel like when you are coming up and everything suddenly is super bright intense clear and "wet" looking like a shine over it after a rain. and sometimes my emotions come in overwhelming waves with tingles down my spine like im rolling. or is that just what its like when you mix cannabis and estrogen and look at the sunset?
>>
>>44087358
Just what’s worked for me tbqh. I had 1200+ levels for a while and it made me feel really shitty, that range feels good to me.
>>
>>44087389
cool. ive been worried my levels are too high or low constantly if i knew 600 was definitely in the not feeling shitty range i would have upped the dose sooner and not been as concerned. i should get tests soon but ive been adding like 0.2mg every couple months when i freak out about it not working from 4mg up to almost 6 now. dont want to make any drastic changes so test results are stable but might shake things up more after
>>
>>44082209
>and is it a good idea to do like 20mg before going off?
it could be. that sounds like a fucking lot tho i would look at the sim and compare it to your bloodwork and guess. maybe even compromise and not try to cover the whole 4 weeks. idk such a big swing might suck more than just going off but i have no idea

I was doing 12mg EEn weekly, but always overdrew and just injected more, so probably got around 14-16 most weeks. This was really shitty feeling and I just thought I was low energy for like half a year. I kinda was lazy and didn’t properly calculate the amount I was using and thought it was the equivalent of 6mg EC.

idk what receptors fried means. is that a thing? are there any science studies on it? are those higher than pregnancy levels?

>>44091442
No, less than pregnancy. I should be fine I guess just kinda panicked seeing it.
>>
>>44087358
300-400pmol is low for monotherapy. if you are hearing this you gotta stop listening to the WPATH. not everyone will see testosterone suppression on this. consult the quickguide.

>>44088632
its fine dont take prog oral.

>>44089649
fuck around on r/estrogel. in whatever solution u make u need a permeation is the big one and more alcohol.

>>44090212
yeah its fine. anima mundi is right there too. us based stuff might be cheaper and is faster because otokonoko only fills orders like once a month

>>44090919
the hell were you dosing and were you taking any supplements?
>>
>>44091490
>you gotta stop listening to the WPATH
WPATH is 100-200 tho
the guides often say 4-6mg een weekly. simulator puts that range at 276-409pm/mol average. 4mg is very standard only going higher after testing shows T isnt suppressed. theres really no reason to go higher if T is below 20. i think WPATH is 50 but people dont like that rec either and i agree but you dont want zero or undetectable.

4mg trough day at 255
yeah that might not be enough for everyone, hence 4-6
6mg trough day estimated at 383
even if you are resistant or fast metabolize that should put 99% of people above 300, which in turn should tank your T

but not above 400, not 600

and the reason is because sbhg shbg sbgg or whatever. if you have to high e it can cause high sbgg and thats supposed to be bad, cause it makes e not work, or it doesnt matter, or just wasteful of e, depending on who you ask. so people dont go high just in case cause theres no conclusive on that

thats my reasoning. from reading everything here what seems reasonable for mono is i think you want like 5-20 T 300-400 e 125 sbgg. those are different units, its whatever the common ones are. if you have a reasoning for 600 please share i am interested

this is factually incorrect, nor do average levels have bearing when determining dosing.

OH. who the fuck uses these units?

i didnt say they do? real people dont take 4 to 6 mg they take the same amount every time. maybe there wouldnt be this misunderstanding if you werent being like this in the first place

idk why i typed this or what i was going for "pm" isnt a thing, by bad

yes obviously. thats why i started leaving units off for the second half of the post. T measurements arent in either one of the above

ok now this is new info. what the fuck is bbg and E2%, and if this is true where are the studies? can you actually show this conclusively or does this go in the honscience folder with shbg being good/bad and cycling and all the other crap with no proof. isnt that the one people say to take pills for to improve ratio? if you can get the same effect from just injecting more then why is reddit science man the one who specifically doesnt do that and says shbg bad?

wait, you can take hrt and guarantee no breast growth? is that raloxfene shit real? why the fuck don't all those stupid reddit "feminine" men just do that instead of aging? wait so i can just get on hrt and hrtrep forever even while living with fucking family? there is no way this is real
>>
>>44092291
nvm just read more in the thread, so i need some other shit too right
although this makes me wonder if they ever did manage to make some kind of E that doesnt cause breast growth if it would be given to cis men just to have them be less aggressive
>>
>>44092291
It's not all it's hyped up to be and usually doesn't work to stop gyno.

>>44092309
i mean why would it stop gyno and why would i care? gyno is a T issue isn't it? i'm just trying to work out if it's possible to take e without tits although i am lateshit so maybe ill be like the other hons who apparently get zero growth somehow even after years idk how they do it but that happens apparently

The only way to guarantee zero breast growth on e is by getting them surgically removed.

you dumbass.

the fuck was i supposed to use this if you only ever used pmol/L

>ok now this is new info. what the fuck is bbg and E2%
bbg is babygirl because ur being a baby rn. and free E2% is percent of estradiol that can freely bind (which is why anyone tests for SHBG to begin with).

>yes, *under 125
if only you said under 125, instead of listing it with your self proclaimed targets that have no units. its nmol/L for shbg if you even care

> isnt that the one people say to take pills for to improve ratio?
that's estrone sulfate this is why cycling oral can unstall breast growth.

Even if I was trans I'd never pass anyway so what's the point, might as well accept my lot in life than chase after an unobtainable goal.

>you dumbass.
im imaginging a comma between these
and i did not, i used "pm" lol, you used pmol!

>free E2% is percent of estradiol that can freely bind (which is why anyone tests for SHBG to begin with).
yeah nevermind its not like it matters if you are recommending even lower than wpath? like admittedly, and i have no idea how i did type "pm/pmol" but how much do you think 600pmol is? for mono? really? 700pmol to "maximize" e2? to maximize e2 you could go much much higher if "maximize" is really your goal, but i dont know why you would do that if sufficient works just fine.

i thought you were recommending 600pg/mL, over 2000pmol to "maximize e2" and was like what the fuck is this?

and im not sure how you are gonna even get 50-190pg/mL on 4mg een injections lmao? maybe with 2mg or maybe 3mg? if you have insanely fast absorption but like you should be able to tell the units from the context

so yeah your recommendation actually is an underdose

you want like 300-400 pg/mL for mono, especially diy, especially if you arent getting constant tests
which is like 1100-1500 pmol/L more than double what you are saying

4mg een weekly, the most common recommended here, 255pg/mL trough on sim, is roughly ~900pmol/L trough, and its recommended you test at 90 days to make sure T is suppressed if not increase by 1 mg and test again in 90 days until it is.

the FAQ linked at the top of the page itt is recommending 4-6mg een btw so its not just me making this up

i legitimately cannot tell if you are a troll, or just need to lurk more. i am leaning toward the former.

>>44092592
you could just not post at all if you arent going to say anything constructive
>>
>>44092597
its best to not waste time on trolls, and instead spend it on people who actually need help
>>
>>44092606
yeah thats why i dont tell people 50pg/mL is good levels for mono

What is the difference between Estradiol hemihydrate and Estradiol valerate Pills?
>>
>>44093293
chemically its a water molecule attached to the estradiol molecule vs a valerate chain.

they absorb virtually identically the same when taken orally and sublingual (bad and ok respectively)
>>
>>44093528
Yeah ok I figured it wasnt much. I dont want to resort to pills but with none of the vendors for Injections having stock I dont really have much choice
>>
>>44093558
hera has EC
mycare has een
calyx labs has een if you want to gamble on a new seller
dragon ordinance and indiamart have stock
theres also lena and anima mundi

I’m going to get SRS and the surgeon wants me to go off E for it, IK it’s stupid but seems like a decent surgeon so whatever. I was just going to dose bica mono for the time I have to be off E in case they test my blood to make sure I listened. That shouldn’t show up right?
>>
>>44093820
bica wont shot up. you'll have very slightly elevated E because of increased aromatization.

additionally, you dont need to go off E for surgery and even the WPATH recommends you don't.

i would additionally like to remind you of the compartmentalization of the medical system. if they have not provided you a list of preoperative blood work to get done, they aren't going to because things you do and take can influence blood results (eating before a CMP, or taking a biotin supplement before a test of sex hormones, because the test results would be meaningless).
>>
>>44093891
*show

jesus christ
>>
>>44093891
Ok, it’s in Thailand IDK how it works there. Do you think they’d actually care if I just stayed on E?
>>
>>44093902
no. the surgery thing is based off an old panic about hrt causing elevated blood clot risk, which is technically true (it raises it to the level of cis women). cis women don't need to take testosterone for surgeries

Anyone have experience inducing lactation? I've heard of domperidone making that happen but I've no idea where to start with dosages or sourcing.

how do you know the "optimal" way to apply gel? like, i'm doing 1 pump (0.75 mg of E2) on each thigh, making sure to always clean and shave the site before applying to enhance absorption, i also began spreading to a smaller surface (200 m2) cuz they say the absorption is better and stuff.

i haven't really tried any place other than inner thighs. scrotal application seems to be popular.

yeah, ik, 2 pumps a day is pretty low, but i can't up the dose rn.
>>
>>44095579
Do they only ship, like, five orders a day or something? Whatever happened with their blog post claiming they hired someone to get orders out on time? And how do you even end up with a four-week backlog in the first place?
>>
I've got my electrum wallet. What now lol
>>
>>44079144
So I think I'm ready to take the plunge and ruin my life my manmoding. The OP has a lot of information but I'm just curious who most of the anons from the US in this thread order from? I know there's vetting and such for quality but I'm also worried about picking someone who often gets their shit seized, especially in this climate.

>on estradiol monotherapy (1mg oral) for a month
>libido is calm, not as angry
>start on spiro (50mg) and up e dose (2mg)
>a week later my libido is out of control and im pissed off at everything again
i dont give a shit about what you think about my doses or why im taking spiro i just want to know if somethings wrong or im going crazy
>>
>>44099451
Placebo level dose
>>
>>44099461
come on this has to be bullshit, its a low dose but it has to be doing SOMETHING, my skin feels genuinely softer
>>
>>44099472
I mean sure you may get some minor effect but it's no where near enough to block testosterone production. Idk why you had that weird reaction to Spiro tho. Either way up your dosage and preferably get a better AA too.
>>
>>44099500
fuck my endo usually takes three weeks to set up an appointment, maybe more. is there a way i can contact them directly through planned parenthood to get this sorted out right now? or am i fucked. dont tell me to do diy this is cheaper through insurance.
>>
>>44099518
Not really sure how the informed consent model works since that doesn't exist where I live, but couldn't you contact the pharmacy and ask for an early refill and take extra? Alternatively they might be able to contact the prescriber from their end. You really should consider diy injections thobeit, it's like 70 bucks for a years supply.
>>
>>44099586
>injections
bitch i faint whenever someone else puts a needle in me i cannot and will not do that to myself. can you people stop with that. i know its more effective already stop it. either way thank you for your help.

I am 33 years old. I am not trans. I want to take HRT because having a feminine body looks like it feels so good. But I am an old man who missed out on life and has virtually no prospects of living how I wanted to live. I get insanely jealous of younger people, especially the trannies with perfect smooth skin who just look so wonderful and youthful. What should I do? Am I just a retard?
>>
>>44097004
you gotta have some kind of way to convert real money to internet money

>>44099741
>I am not trans. I want to take HRT
these statements are incongruent.
im older than u and i did it anyway, but i didnt deny it


>>44098679
depends what you want. not much choice
>anons from the US

>▶ MTF Vendor index: https://valerie.vg

>Ships from: United States of America
>Ships from: US

do you want the one with more reviews or slightly higher star rating? do you want the one that is...out of stock or the one that is... also out of stock?
>>
>>44100703
>depends what you want.
Just the enanthate injections I guess? I want to do the simple thing and think I can handle sticking myself.
>Not much choice
Yeah you're not kidding. When I checked just now only one from/to US is in stock, guess I assumed there'd be a lot more. But by the time I get this crypto crap set up that might not be the case, so I guess I can't really pick and choose between the whopping two options. That really makes supply availability seem scary long-term.
>>
>>44100839
>That really makes supply availability seem scary long-term.
yeah but thats only if your going homebrew diy w injections. people have always been ordering from overseas pharmacies its just theres no point to deal with customs if you dont have to and i havent even really looked into which ones carry vials. unless maybe you really really struggle with crypto? and more might show up over time to fill in gaps
>>
can anyone help me get to the bottom of why my E tests appear so low when I'm smoking weed and spike when I'm not? happened on sublingual and now happening on injections
I've done tons of reading but nothing I've come up with is conclusive
doctors are stumped and say it shouldn't be happening
open to the idea it's something unrelated interfering
>>
>>44094233
domp and pump pump pump baby. there are a lot of subreddits about it for cis women that can help u with regimens. any of the usual sources should have stock. one of the indian ones is probably gonna be cheapest.

>>44094768
it might be but you could be cutting it close

>>44096373
>how do you know the "optimal" way to apply gel?
its scrotum. thighs dont actually absorb all that well.

>>44099451
why are you dosing so low stop doing that

>>44098679
one of the US domestic homebrewers. hera or symphony. if ur broke broke one of the mutual aid ones

>>44099741
probably take your pills

>>44100973
how big is this spike and i assume all your tests are at the same level?
>>
>>44101377
*same time

my facial hair has been extremly bad lately and i told my doc and she has me on 5mg of finasteride a day. it doesnt really feel like its helping, i'm kind of dying here. she said that this would help a lot. I have some diy bica coming that I will start taking alongside this. is the finasteride supposed to help with this?
>>
>>44101464
as a rule of thumb yes bica makes fin redundant. what else are you taking
