do I need to poke a hole in my prog capsules if Im taking them rectallyalso is 100mg a fine dose or should I insist my doctor ups me to 200also also how common is the dht backdoor pathway and how soon would signs of it appear
>>44156782oh also to answer qott:I wouldnt care if it didnt possibly affect srs in the futureas it is though mine hurts constantly and I think I may have mild peyronies or weird dents but it doesnt seem to have gotten any smallerI even tried a low dose t cream but that doesnt seem to help so if anyone has any ideas lmk
Reposting as a PSA, The reason Symphony Labs went on their recent hiatus is because they have been exposing customer information including names and addresses of anyone who left a review on their website. This is despite them claiming to have fixed this issue months ago.>>44151944>Not to mention the customer data leak caused by their review API being tied to publicly discoverable order numbers, which exposed customer PII.I was the person who posted this - https://archived.moe/lgbt/thread/43511532/#43571308 - and I will probably get banned for this but this is still happening unfortunately. Picrel was captured today at the time of me posting this.Order number = https://archive.ph/cVrm1Email address = https://archive.ph/sR5BMOpen up https://symphonylabs.cc/track-order, put in ORD-1783209013197-5440547 as the order number, and put in symphony@crimew.gay as the email address.This order belongs to Maia Arson Crimew.
>>44157051>>44152935 #(self-reply)They also mentioned that they delete orders manually when it's no longer needed but someone's order is still there in the API from mid-June. Picrel is from today too.Order number = https://archive.ph/x6s2DEmail address = https://archive.ph/bA7FmOpen up https://symphonylabs.cc/track-order, put in ORD-1781662896093-C224B52 as the order number, and put in hardingerin24@gmail.com as the email address.
>44151944What frustrates me most about Symphony is that they make promises to the community that never happen, and act as though any criticism is malicious.They always overpromise, underdeliver, and still manage to convince prominent community members that they're a high quality op, despite struggling to meet basic quality standards.They claimed their fiber contamination was caused by PTFE fibers from a single bad batch and bad brewing technique, assuring everyone it was a one time issue that would be quickly fixed. That "one bad batch" explanation became the standard response whenever anyone complained about fibers, yet people are still receiving fiber contaminated vials today.After multiple reports of loose vial caps, they announced they were getting a new crimping machine. A month later, people were still receiving vials with caps that come off completely.They also announced they were hiring a new shipper, but that fell apart almost immediately and resulted in a month long shipping backlog.When people started reporting four week delays, Symphony insisted those claims were just rumors, said that delays were only around two weeks, and even portrayed themselves as victims of misinformation in a blog post. Just days later, a bunch of people reported waiting four weeks or longer.They also promised regular UK restocks, but they accepted UK orders before they actually had inventory in the country. After spending a month failing to move stock to their UK warehouse, only then they contacted customers to offer international reshipments or refunds.Not to mention the customer data leak caused by their review API being tied to publicly discoverable order numbers, which exposed customer PII.They're very good at community outreach and controlling the narrative, which is why they still have a strong reputation in many circles. But if you judge them solely on their product quality, shipping reliability, and overall business practices, they are very poorly run.
>>44157063better report them to the BBB or leave a bad google review, oh that's right you're buying illegal troon hormones on the internet
>>44157051someone should tell maia about this, wth symphony
Is Hera down?
>>44157166They chose to go down temporarily because people online have been incessantly spreading false rumors about them being underdosed or having contamination, and it culminated in someone creating a fake edited janoshik test result and posting it on twitter claiming that Hera vials contained masculinizing steroids. they made a post about it earlier today see picrel
>>44157051>>44157211Symphony shitting the bed by doxxing their customers and Hera going down, at least Aurelia's site is back now but they're claiming to have been DDoSed. What the hell is going on with American homebrewers.
>>44157244with everything going down who should i be buying from if i'm in mexico at this point?
>>44156238>QOTT: I feel good about it, hopefully it'll atrophy enough that it falls off and I can be rid of this useless meatstickAnyway I've been back to DIY due to health insurance bullshit and I'm needing advice on 2 main things:>1: is progesterone most effective when always taken, or when it's cycled? I'm not low on supplies but would prefer to not have to shove a pill up my ass every night if I don't have to.>2: what's the recommended dosage of estradiol valerate injections for someone who was initially taking 8mg orally every day along with 100mg Spiro?
>>44157211Fuck i was literally at checkout, yeah i saw that but didnt expected them to go down. Thanks nona
>>44157051>>44157055Sorry Valerie, but if you were there, Symphony had claimed, IN HRTGEN, that they fixed this exact issue when Sheroman brought it up all that time ago.You are being publicly called out now because you LIED about fixing the problem when it had ALREADY been brought to your attention.If you didn't lie about fixing the data leak, and you actually thought you fixed the problem when you didn't, You are incompetent as a homebrewer and you should be DEEPLY ashamed.What the fuck were we supposed to do when you refused to fix a critical customer information leak after you were already told about it?
>>44157327ProofSymphony said back in May that they both fixed the customer information leak (NOW PROVEN TO BE A LIE)and that they delete customer information (sheroman proved this was a lie in the last hrtgen, see >>44157055
20ml ee, 10mg/ml, 4mg/dose(20*10)/4=50that's 50 weeks right?
>>44157382nvm the guide explains it mb also holy shit this captcha mogs non shape rotators
>>44157051is symphony retarded?
>>44157063the uk warehouse thing was honestly really weird for me, I never understood why they thought shipping 300 vials to the uk at a time was ever going to be sustainable especially when doing preorders for stock they didn't have on hand at the uk warehouse. at least they're offering refunds and reships after a month of stalling people.
>>44157063the part about their ability to make inroads with people and control the narrative is something I've noticed as well, there's always a dozen people that come out of nowhere to defend them whenever symphony makes fuckups, even though they're the most inconsistent and scandal filled brewop of the past year. but their ability to run PR and make connections with prominent people in DIY to always have their back is crazy ngl. you can literally see the ego oozing out of every blog post they make
not even going to engage with retarded homebrew drama>>44156782you don't have to poke a hole and just get your dht tested. it's pretty rare but it can happen>>44156803if you actually have peyronies disease then it can't be treated with topical T, you'd need surgical intervention or scar dissolving injections from a doctor>>44157266take it every day and why are you taking valerate? just buy enanthate like a normal person and inject 4mg a week
>>44157051>>44157055>>44157327hilarious that diyhrt.market's first reaction is not to put out a warning about symphony having a customer PII data breach or lying about deleting customer information, but rather to call out the people exposing them. like >>44157378 said, symphony was already told of the issue in May and they never fixed it so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
>>44157063you forgot about the wikipedia self advertising fiasco when their admin let someone post their vial labels and lab setup to wikipedia for cloutand the shipping delay that was caused by their shipper getting found out because they still lived with their parents kek
>>44157793Kek I saw on Wikipedia a while ago symphony put their vial on the picture for estradiol Enanthate page.
I saw my semen (which is completely clear btw) on my new microscope and there was no sperm kek
>>44157816I need to lower my EEn dose I at least make more semen :) (though still obv no sperm).
>What do you mean the community doesn't appreciate me publicly posting a dox in a call out post!?
>>44157211>>44157271It sucks ass because it seems like someone doesn't want US based brewers to exist and wants everyone to have to deal with customs risks.
>>44157824why not blame symphony for refusing to fix their code for 2 months after lying about the issue being fixed in this very boardthey had 2 months to get their shit together and not spin lies after they were originally called out back in Maythere's one person way more at fault here and it's not some reddit hacker
>>44157834it's insanely suspect that Aurelia, Hera, and Symphony all go down on the same exact day. That's literally every US brewer. Wtf is happening???
>>44157852They’re all the same people lmao
>>44157845>Why not blame...Symphony can be criticized for not fixing their site, YOU can be blamed for personally choosing to publicly post dox.
>>44157852Concentrated effort by some asshole or group of such to fuck us over, obviously.
What is shelf life for transdermal progesterone bottle from Hera HRT unopened?
>>44157855im not sheroman but clearly symphony is at fault here for lying to our faces about customer information not being at risk, sheroman exposed a problem, go message them on reddit if you have a problem with how they did it lol
>>44157863No, you don't seem to get that blame isn't a zero-sum game. If you (rhetorical you, genius) do something fucked up in the pursuit of trying to 'punish' someone who did something wrong, then that doesn't make it okay. That makes you both wrong. Of course nobody appreciates how this was done, anyone who isn't engaging in some weird vigilantism can see that.
>>44157873you're the only one in this thread concern trolling about some random troons dox, go back to bluesky or reddit if you want to complain to people who agree with you
>>44157880I'm actually posting in response to someone whining that other people aren't supporting the public doxing. Do I care about some random person? Not really in any serious way, but don't whine that people are giving you shit on bluesky for your methods if your methods are objectively morally wrong.
>>44157063>>44157793does anyone remember when they were in the transdiy discord self advertising for a week (thanks mods), they had like 1000+ messages before they suddenly just deleted everything and shut their website down for a week. I feel like Symphony has just been trolling us all year
>>44157907(selfreply) and they made a bunch of really stupid opsec leaks that obviously I won't share the worst here but it just shows a pattern of irresponsible behavior you know. like they were bragging about how they operated like a ghost kitchen brewing for other big brewers and stuff like ??? why publicise that
>>44157892NTOP im going to go against the grain of the thread here but yea i agree with u that was obviously fucked up to dox someone just to prove your point, sheroman was also talking about how they were a local brewer in the UK in the last hrtgen so like why are you basically attacking your own?? there's no exuses for doxxing someone to bring another bad thing to lightnot that it exuses symphony's actions at all though, obviously lying about fixing a severe customer information leak and not doing is a huge deal and like someone else said if they thought they fixed it and they didn't it just shows they're incompetent and not cut out for this scene at all
>>44157932I don't know, not to excuse their laziness in not fixing it or anything but it really comes across like a concerted effort to try and deny Americans access to DIY sometimes, which is why they always do these big public bombastic displays trying to completely eliminate a brewer rather than privately applying pressure to shape up like they're supposed to.
>>44157861Would be helpful if someone answered my question instead of raging about stmphonylabs
>>44157932It doesn't matter. Even if it’s unintentional, it means they give zero fucks about their customers’ privacy when they didn't fix the issue for that long. And that’s not even getting into the awful business practices, terrible shipping, and the constant lies. just take a look at >>44157063 for how much they lie directly to customers and the community
>>44157949basically it wont go bad until the plastic starts leeching into the alcohol. so probably 5+ years
>>44157958What about once opened?I know 4 sprays a day is low dose, recommended up to 8 sprays a day. I plan to start on 2 sprays a day then move up to more.
>>44157968oxygen doesn't affect the quality of alcohol based solutions like it does with oil in a vial so it should still last years if you don't accidentally leave it to tryalso can people stfu about symphony, it's hrtgen not expose evil homebrewersgenlike we get it they're lying scumbags, go order from someone else then instead of complaining
>>44157974Thanks
Cis women usually have equal progesterone level to cis men except during their luteal phase. Is there a downside to having progesterone every day or should I have it approximately only 1-2 weeks a month?Is mtf progesterone level even lower than baseline level for men and women without supplement?
>the dutasteride from India arrived.Genuinely amazed it actually came, the package obviously sounded like it had pills lmao.
>>44157063i regret ordering from symphony im never getting my hrt am i
>>44157915they make the vials for other brewers?? which ones
>>44157852Aurelia is back after claiming to be ddossed, Hera is working on their site (another nona said it was over fake posts used to attack them), Symphony is down probably actually working on their site code this time.Someone should really look into who it was that made the tweet trying to psyop Hera, with the timing of Aurelia and Symphony going down at the same time, it really feels like a new American brewop working behind the scenes to ruin the reputation of their competition before coming into the market.
>>44159626I'm going to nip this one in the bud. I know the girl who made the tweet and she's not a homebrewer nor is she looking to be one any time soon. She has some legitimate gripes with Hera but it doesn't excuse making up a fake janoshik chart to try and slander them. Whatever happened with Symphony and Aurelia, she wasn't a part of that either.
I ordered from symphony like a week ago. Am i fucked. I have like, enough estrogen for a month and a half at a quarter dosage at most. Am i fucked. Am i gonna get the rug pulled from under my feet. Am i fucked
>>44158022>Is there a downside to having progesterone every day or should I have it approximately only 1-2 weeks a month?we dont know of any downsides; sometimes people like to cycle to try to get around downregulation. PR reset time is 10 days. some like 2 weeks on 2 off, some like 21 days on.i will also add that the hormonal cycles of women dont necessarily have the most salience in mtf hrt regimen determination.
>>44157051>>44157055if they make a public apology and notify the people who made reviews of a potential PII breach i can see them recovering from this but yeah it's so disappointing seeing their lies whenever something happens.
>>44159626Aurelia is using a crappy host, that's all. There's no grand conspiracy. Their entire host has been down for 3 days, and they're the ones claiming to have been hit with a DDoS attack. It's highly unlikely Aurelia themselves were directly DDoSed. Symphony was using the same one up until 2 days ago, which is why they tweeted they were switching hosts.
>>44160276how do you find out what host someone is using? what are most homebrewers using now
>>44157253well we do have EEn otcand there are apparently some people sourcing vials from Canada and China and selling them privately and on ML
>>44160309I don't know what most are using.I only know that Symphony and Aurelia were both using this specific one because the downtime as well as the locations matched up exactly.

>>44159806i am fucked, am i not
Is there any way to lose the ability to get an erection? I have very high E (>400) and sub 15 T but still can I don’t like it.
Damn, homebrewers really are tweaking rn, huh? I've had nothing but good experiences with them. I ordered from aurelia with inject.onions (before they got their new site), back in october last year, and they gave me 2 vials for the price of one. The prices were a little lower too. And then in february I ordered from symphony, and they gave me 3 vials for the price of 1. Granted, in both cases it was in apology for being late with orders, but it's still strange to see them this way. Also RIP opengatelabs, I ordered from them a year ago and they were the best.(I know, this reads like a humblebrag, and don't ask what I did with my 5 vials)
i ordered from symphony months ago and them messing up i finally got something a long while later. i never did HRT before but so far it looks like it does it job. Chest pain started after only 10 days and stuff like that. others noted them growing too so this is just not wishful thinking and/or imagination. libido and body odor changed too.so how come some vials are allegedly underdosed? i find it hard to believe that its possible to mess up the relatively "simple" process of diluting some powder in a liquid when everything else seems so much more complex.didnt get any blood tests so far as its far to soon but well, so far so good finally, after an excruciating wait..if i should really be concerned i can (finally) order domestically from the EU but if not then i'd rather not waste even more time and money...
>>44162164no one's ever claimed that symphony's vials are underdosed, they get testing pretty often and it's unlikely anything they sell is underdosed. sometimes you can get dust in a vial or a poor crimp but it's a rarity. people who get good vials just don't post about it.people are freaking out over their opsec and business practices in this thread, but rest assured if you recieved a vial without visible contamination, it's going to be fine
>>44161712you're fine, they tweeted that they're going to continue shipping existing orders through their break, and from what I've seen, the backlog is around 4 weeks, so it should arrive before you run out.
>>44162213oh then i need to reconsider listening to a person or two just like that..sorry, not a single step in this has been without insane fear and paranoia so far :(
>>44157063the UK warehousing situation really pissed me off a lot. few days before announcing that UK domestic will never come back, they made a blog post accusing people of lying about symphony taking preordersthen it's revealed that symphony kept allowing uk domestic orders to be placed even though their uk warehouse was never stocked, so people were forced to wait a month before refunds and reships were offered.like i appreciate them refunding and reshipping from the US, but this whole situation could have been avoided if they didn't take preorders for their UK stock, it's the same thing people went mad over astrovials for, it's common knowledge you just don't take preorders for vials that you don't have on hand.
reading this thread makes me so happy I fucked off when I did, even if people still think i'm involved.Maybe a few years from now i make a lil shop and just do basic stuff, don't advert and hopefully have a lot less work I can solo instead of with a team, or at most like one friend.Seems like all these "team" brewers and people trying to be big just get repeatedly dragged into drama.Hell to experience, Kino to watch.
>>44162304notice how it's always the american brewers getting themselves into drama
>>44162362jews
>>44162037>don't ask what I did with my 5 vialsWhat did you do
gock
>>44162796lmao. I gave two to friends and I plan on saving another in case meet any more transfems in need. The last two I'm saving for me.
>>44162362to be fair it seems like there's a lot more attacking them too.Not like I didn't make any mistakes.
>>44164605Americans love to destroy and drag others down, so they leap on shit like this like sharks.
>>44164616Hey hey, some of the best people i've met have been Americans, some of the worst too but yin and yang and all that. Certainly a group of passion!~I do love this "community" (americans and otherwise) even if some are.... malicious.... for monetary, popularity or political reasons.
Is it posssible to give a free vial I don't need to someone random on Reddit or here without doxxing myself
>>44165007you could send it without a return address im pretty sure
>>44164305Good friend.
is there any way to surpress breast growth temporarily while on E and then grow them later? I don't want tits eventually (not even a massive source of dysphoria for me) but it would really make my life complicated if I had zero plausible deniability
>>44166064hiding or ralox
>>44166064Idk about raloxifene, but it's probably better just to hide them. I guess it depends on how long you need to hide them for.
>>44166142if I go on raloxifene is it going to possibly forever stunt breastgrowth? Or is it just until I discontinue it>>44166211I need to hide them for probably 5-7 years desu
symphony will easily recover from this, this drama hasn't hit reddit or twitter yet and probably never will. maybe for the best, we don't need brewers constantly going down even if they fuck up once in a while
>>44166462its crazy how no one on reddit cares.
>>44166472it's not the biggest story if you really break it down. symphony had an API exploit that could be used to expose customer information, they didn't lock it down so some random uk brewer decided to dox some trannies to pwn them. symphony comes out looking more like a victim than anything.even if they knew back in May this is basically a story of a company having a small data breach that only affected people leaving reviews.and all the other accusations of lies or unethical business practices are basically just things any capitalist company would do anyway, or just excused by a small group of trannies having no idea how to run a business properly, which is still forgivable.in the end they can easily spin this in a PR statement or just ignore the whole thing and let it blow over in a week. no one not terminally online will care anyway
>>44166515I'm sorry but leaving customer emails and order numbers in cleartext and having it tied to full names and addresses on your easily scrapable server is absolutely retarded and this was a massive fuckup.These are not people ordering random temu slop, these are vulnerable trans people ordering illegal drugs to their transphobic household, all while feds are always watching. It's not unreasonable at all to expect your data be protected and be pissed the fuck off when it's been exposed for months.And their lies and retarded business tactics (boy, let's ship hundreds of vials at a time into the UK every week, surely nothing can go wrong!!) deserve every bit of criticism. Honest mistakes a fine but constantly running PR by lying about your failure to meet basic standards is indefensible.
>>44157667idk if its even peyronies its just dented? and hurts now
>>44156238AMAB nonbinary here. I just turned 71 years old and wanted to buy Testosterone to maintain princess wand functionality. I am a stealth passoid who girlmodes 24/7 with no estrogen.
i have an old irl friend who apparently now transitioned and somehow has a large audience on social media. we were both autistic and i miss having fun with them. would it be appropriate for me to contact them or trans people generally prefer to avoid old relations?
I did it
>>44166919>illegal drugsyes very concerning! think of the children~ oh no we should all panic!
>>44170860or think of the trans girls that just got their personal information and the fact that they order grey market hormones documented by the feds. obviously illegal drugs isn't the issue, it's the fact that feds had access to symphony's customer list including names and addresses of anyone who ordered and left a review
>>44171273I think it's extremely shitty that symphony had this loophole but it's extra shitty that someone decided to post a random dox from symphony in this thread. Two wrongs don't make a right, the feds may have scraped her info but it didn't need extra publication here.
>>44171273yes that is bad on its own which is why it looks like really out of place concern trolling from someone outside the community when they fear monger about "illegal drugs"
remember when brewops actually had multiple brewers in multiple countries instead of shipping vials in bulk to overseas shipperspepperidge farm remembers
no one has mentioned that Symphony charges up to $58 extra for expedited shipping, which is a total SCAM because they have just been holding onto my vial for weeks and now they're going on break. Are they going to refund me extra I paid????? What's the point of offering expensive fast shipping when you still refuse to ship things out on time
Is it worth it to do a loading dose?
>>44162304are we supposed to know who you are
>>44170860you're being a disingenuous pos. for some reason every homebrewer these days has fucking atrocious opsec. you arent selling hand knitted lgbt flags on etsy or some shit you are providing heavily restricted medication to a social underclass of undesirables that is currently being targeted actively by multiple world governments. start acting like it.
so consequences of stopping 3-4 months in?
>>44176318having someone with business degree as leader of a brewop would lead them to be 10 times more successful than having a mix of autistic loser compsci and chemist trannies who dont know how to run a basic ecommerce company. you have thousands of people across the world selling random shit online at any given time and they all run a tighter ship than all these brewops. ive seen more than one brewop tunnel visioning themselves into having the best product or the best techniques or the best looking website or whatever but they neglect actually running their business properly and they end up with a 7 week backlog and 500 unanswered support emails all while trying to expand at a pace they can never sustain and putting trust in total degen unreliable losers just because they're friends. all because they dont have what any proper business would have: a full-time paid shipper, full-time paid support person. but it's basically an impossible ask because ket addicted degenerate trannies who have 3 discord girlfriends, a gaming addiction and another fullstack sysadmin job can't be trusted to keep their interest in doing the boring part of running a brewop longer than two weeks or however long their adhd ass lets them care about the job but that's just my two cents
>>44173974yes>>44176641nothing, boob growth is permanent though.
>>44173100also never understood this, you either pay for regular shipping and have it arrive in 4 weeks or pay $58 dollars to have it arrive in 4 weeks 5 days, it's just tricking your customer into coughing up more easy cash
>>44177030(selfreply) sorry for the typo, meant to switch the timespay regular shipping for 4 weeks and 5 days shipping or pay $58 expedited shipping just to have it dropped off 3 weeks later anyway
>>44177040>>44177030>>44173100symphony doesn't actually have the stock for anything, everything you order is actually backorder.
>>44176318these are trans people putting themselves in extraordinary risk just to provide hrt to people basically at cost. they're not making much more than to keep their own lab afloat while having to always worry about feds coming down on them. brewers aren't amazon and everyone should cut them some slack especially when they're trying their best to smooth any wrinkles out and provide the best service to us. there's clearly bad faith actors in here and everyone just needs to take a step back and approach the situation with some more empathy
>>44177051yep they've essentially confirmed this themselves with always saying stuff like >we have to wait for our janoshik results back and we can get the pending orders out every time they mention having to wait until janoshik testing to come back, it's a confession they're allowing orders to be placed for stock they don't have on hand
>>44177083kek so I'm not the only one who caught that. Normal people would advertise their janoshik results and list them for sale, Symphony just lists vials for sale and then complain about how long jano testing takes before shutting down due to backlog. Insane behavior honestly.
any chemistry knowers know the best way to store raw micronized (17b)estradiol? need to make it last for as many years as possible as a long term supply. was thinking just vacuum sealing it and putting it in the freezer but not sure if i can anything more or if the fridge is better
Sooo... am I supposed to use my full legal name on these homebrewer sites or...?
>>44178659nah. they don't use theirs, why should you use yours (unless you mistype the address and have to call dead letters like i did)
I want to look like this but no amount of HRT will get me there
I want to take oral e for stalled breast growthI see there is 2 different type of pills : Estradiol Hemihydrate or Estradiol ValerateWhich is good/better in my case ?
>>44156238>penile atrophyNot sure about that, but skin definitely got tighter to the point where it would hurt if i would get an errection and would bleed a bit and hurt subsequently from a small tear in the skin.Also, managed to get into AE because prostate started shrinking and i bled when pissing (and not).
>>44176318>you're being a disingenuous pos.>"illegal drugs"yeah im the disingenuous one lol
>>44178659afiak for burgers yes, usps wont deliver if you dont. if ur postman a dick they will even return mail that has a nickname but same last name. some places let u write ur name on the inside of the box but some dicks just ignore that. its gotta be ur real address too they have been cracking down on houses for sale or abandoned lots for years.
>>44179345>analogI miss those times...
>>44179434Estrogen will estrogen regardless, they both do the same.Can't delay tits but you can prevent them completely using pubertyblockers. But at that point why bother with E? Just take DHT blockers.
homebrewers will never improve because the community will bootlick them at every opportunitythe standard response to someone complaining about their order being stuck on shipping label created for a month with zero support emails answered is>homebrewers aren't amazon! cut them some slack!until we start expecting brewers to act like a company making $20k in profit every month instead of a portabello seller at the farmers market, they're going to keep cucking their customers just because they know they can get away with it.
>>44180982I don't want anyone to act like a fucking corporation if it were possible desu.
>>44181162im not asking them to act like a corporation im asking them to act like someone who is pulling in 20k a month profiting off poor trans women and to treat their customers with more respect than ghosting them for 4 weeks without shipping out an orderyou don't have to be a corporation to treat the people you sell lifesaving medication to with some gracebecause the alternative to treating your op seriously is what we're experiencing right now, brewers who slack off and create 7 week backlogs all while they keep taking money from people
Anyone have any advice for HRT in student accommodation? I know the once a term room inspections probably wont be like a in-depth police investigation but im worried how i would explain the needles and whether unprescribed estradiol vials would count as illegal enough for their definition of 'illegal drugs'. Im on undecylate so i could keep it down to just the vial and ~6 needles but will still need advice on how to hide that without looking like a heroine addict. -brithon
>>44181233The alternative to the hobbyist approach now is probably more likely nobody doing it at all and your ass needing to go through official channels and end up with nothing or having to wait years, frankly. I don't want to excuse fuck ups at all, but it come across like you're expecting behavior like above-board corporate vampires and/or ingrained black market mafiosos without suffering any of the downsides of either and have some pretty unrealistic expectations of that happening. On some level I'm just willing to accept they're amateurs if that's the only way I'm getting this stuff.
>>44181313you can be a hobbyist and still ship things out on time without lying about a 4 week backlog. and let's be real, pulling 20k a month does not make you a hobbyist, it makes you accountable to the people who order from you. being a corporate vampire is not necessary, all that is expected is to not lie to your customera and make sure orders are shipped every week. its the most basic ask ever.
>>44179434just take spiro and rub progesterone cream on your chest everydaythey will blow the fuck up and in a good rounded wayno conical weird tits
Pioglitazone is worth looking into, too.Do all three. Keep your E up.Give it just 1 month, not even 2 or 3 months.
>>44181356Is it really worth swearing a blood feud and complaining literally every single day just because your order got delayed once? Like I hope this is personal, not to say there's no validity in the complaints but this conversation has obviously been you (among others, don't mistake me) saying the same thing all week.
>>44181356voix celeste made sure everything ran smoothly and on time and they didn't turn into soulless vampires, teahrt and ogl were fine, they never turned into soulless vampires. you know what is being a soulless vampire? making six figures in pure profit and lying to your customers and doing preorders for nonexistent stock. that's what brewers are doing now and it's not just symphony
>>44181365what actually causes cone tits?
>>44181409nta but it's basic stalled development, all breasts go through that stage they're just naturally supposed to come out of it. Some people don't.
somehow this is all katie tightpussy's fault
>>44180655you missunderstood, my growth is stalled and I want to trigger growth>>44181365never heard of progesterone cream, will look at itspiro is useless I think cause i'm post srs (8 years hrt, breast stopped growing 6 years ago...)
>>44181373oh,didnt saw your postso you're saying prog cream + spiro + pio ??you had good results with thoses ?
>>44181629>>44181647pio is magicalit even works on CIS men like Dr. Will Powersand yes proggie cream works great it makes my nipples all tender and filled out the upper part of my HRTtitties
I was taking e valerate 0.4 every 5 days but the concentration was at 5ml/100mg I recently got a new concentration vial at 10ml/400mg. How much do I need to take now? Sorry if that's a stupid question
are hrtitties a viable injection side
>>44182227twice as much10ml/400 = 1ml/40mg5ml/100 = 1ml/20mg
>>44182851wait no half im stupid so .2 ml
>>44182754no
>>44181380man i miss ogl, never had a problem with them ever
>>44182227>>44182851>>44182864this is why I will always stay on oralsfuck this math shit it makes my head spinthey should sell it in ez injectors like insulin pens
>>44157211PSA: Hera HRT has been back for a while. Consider ordering from them while Symphony works on fixing some of their issues
>>44157211I know some of what happened, some ppl associated with Symphony used fraudulent/unethical methods to obtain testing reports from Hera batches, found out the concentration was under half of what was advertised. Proceeded to concern troll and psyop Hera online for a while. There's no evidence though that the bad batches ever made it to sale, though. And every time people tried to test Hera vials through anonymous purchase it was always a perfect result.They just couldn't publicize the bad testing results because it would expose the methods they used to obtain it and look terrible for them. Anyway it's also way Symphony has been shilling so hard for Hera in recent blog posts trying to stay on their good side. It's brainrotted tranny drama.
>>44183591Wow I sure do believe this, it's totally not trying to start drama between the brewers to fuck them both over nope.
>>44179345Sorry but you're gonna look like your mom
>>44182227What are your levels? Plugging that into estrannai.se, your levels don't look good enough for full T suppression. >>44183025I wish I bought more vials from them. I am unironically on 8mg/wk Enanthate so I will burn through my OGL vials in less than 3 years.
>>>44181356>all that is expected is to not lie>44181233>4 weeks>7 weekss >300 weeks>9001 weeks>>44181356>20k a month>>44181380>six figures in pure profit????
>>44185827I've had an orchi I think I'd get around 200-250 estrogen. Haven't checked in a bit tho
i'm currently using E gel as HRT along with cypro. i've been applying it scrotally for about a week, 1 pump (0.75 mg of E) every 12 hours, and although i haven't done any exams yet, i've noticed pretty obvious physical signs, so it's working.anyway, i just noticed my penile raphe (the line that goes through the perineum, balls and gock) is very proeminent, like, THICK, to the point my dick is naturally being pulled downwards??? is this supposed to happen, is there a explanation or smth, or am i just freaking out??also, my dick and balls feel smaller in size, but that was expected tbqh.yes, i know injections are better and will give your supertits and stuff, but i can't really afford them rn, and i get my current meds for free so, i'll stay on them for now.
>>44178963i am generally extremely paranoid, but i still used my legal name to buy from a homebrewer because in dnms they always insist that you should use it and i thought that this shouldn't be any different. do these people tend to keep records with pii for a long time? how fucked am i? i guess it's different because in dnms you encrypt everything and here i didn't, but because estrogen is not a controlled substance i let my schizo guard down.
>>44188293>this shouldn't be any differentits not. it has less to do with them and how post works. 40 years ago there were like a million tricks and people were shipping explosive precursors. >keep records with pii for a long timedepends on the person?>how fucked am i?unlikely at all>estrogen is not a controlled substance yeah i wouldnt worry>let my schizo guard down.i just stopped caring. if they are coming for me elon and the palantir dragnet already know everything about and i have more redflags than just troon so ill be in one of the earlier waves to the campsand besides u have to send ur id with a selfie to the bitcoin people anyway AI algos can find u in like 1 secondsecurity doesnt real its about blending in. you dont leave ur phone home when u go to the protest bc then it creates a pattern mismatch in ur behavior and u get picked up. u dont use obscure web browser u use top 2 or 3 etc.they arent gonna come for consumers, but suppliers, not custies, producers, and if they do come for u there are have much bigger problems happen
where do you guys source T Gel. Does it help prevent penile atrophy? How does it not interact with the rest of the body? Also do you guys ever think that novel homebrew SARMs will ever be a thing?
>>44190020>novel homebrew SARMSNot novel, they need to have mass produced raws to be homebrewable. Homebrewers don’t make hormones just mix a powder into an oil in the right ratio and bottle it in a sterile fashion.
what the hell happened in this thread lol
>>44189907for every other step of the way (including getting crypto and using it to make the payment) my opsec has been good so i was just worried that all of it might have been for nothing. but yeah, i guess it doesn't really matter, especially given where i am, and even if it did nothing else can be traced back to me so i can just deny it's mine.
it's wild to me symphony still hasn't shipped out the mutual aid vials from June 1Way to go under prioritizing the most vulnerable!
Do vials lose potency over time? I have an old half used Vannapharma vial opened May '24 that I stopped using due to the MCT oil (I think?) not agreeing with me. There are no visible signs of contamination, but I may need to use it in a pinch while sourcing more estrogen. Will this be okay?And as an aside, are there any suppliers shipping to the UK aside from Astrovials that do non MCT vials? It's a little concerning that there's only one and I never manage to catch them with anything in stock.
>>44192405doesn't celestial ship to the UK? and you can keep using your vanna vial if the oil hasn't changed color
>>44192760EU only. If the old vial should be fine then I'll stick with that until I catch when Astro are in stock.
FUCK SYMPHONY LABSFUCK HERA HRTBRING BACK OGLEVERYONE WHO TRIES TO COPY THEIR SUCCESS HAS SUFFERED TREMENDOUS FAILURE
any shop that carries Pentobarbital? Dont care how illegal, deep or dark.
>>44193103try fent
>>44160909uh how about monero, not really schizo just don't want to have to declare crypto on my fucking taxes
>>44193122>vomitingcan this be supressed by an antiemetic?
>>44193103>Pentobarbitalmaybe drughub
>>44193414had a look. no luck. i guess its way to niche
>>44193614this kind of stuff im afraid you probably need to go to one of those chinese api vendors and hope they make it
>>44157051>Yeah I'm totally not a bad actor that's why I'm posting the vulnerability publicly and doxxing someone on 4chan instead of contacting symphony and then later revealing all this>Yeah I'm totally not a smear campaign that's why I'm posting this when I know symphony is on break and no one can verify my claims Lmfao
>>44193103Suicidal tranny who just read final exit for the first time says what
>>44193625ur way too late bud. you have the brain of an ant. the vuln was working before symphony went on break. the vuln is the reason why symphony went on break
I've been on E + Spiro for like 3 days and I've tried to fap two times since starting. Both times I've had the only experience I can explain as "I'm going to cum and then ???". Is this normal? Like it was the feeling of cumming but nothing came out and it did nothing. It was like an attack missing in Pokemon.
>>44193625Nona, please just stop talking.Symphony was informed of the vulnerability back in May and they never fixed it.They had a long time to correct the security vulnerability, but chose not to. So they got nuked.Sucks for everyone but Symphony deserves most of the blame here for not fixing an exploit that was known to them back in May, it was just a matter of time before someone used it to leak customer info.
>>44194010And like what the other Nona said, Symphony went on break because of the customer data leak, which happened in the previous HRTGen, before Symphony went on break.
>>44194039Someone had shared here proof of Symphony knowing about the exploit back in May >>44157378 Funnily they lied about fixing it and DIDN'T CHANGE THEIR SITE CODE AT ALL out of what I can only imagine was laziness. It's embarassing.
does estrogen actually make your dick softer?
is there any real consensus on monotherapy?like if my t is low already with just my injections is there any real benefit to adding a blocker? just peace of mind maybe?
>>44195664it would not be beneficialthe only possible thing is maybe some bica if your DHT is high but even that's unlikely
what happens if I take finastride every day and bicalutamide once a week
>>44195826how high is high exactly? my dht usually tests at around 11 or 12 ng/dl despite my T being suppressed and I always wonder if I should do something about it
>>44195864btw the dose would be 50mg bica and 1mg finastride
>>44195864>>44195936You get decent results with your hair (visible after about 4-5 months) and very low results in your skin and some fat redistribution after 2+ years. Your cum might get thinner and your erections slightly weaker.I've been doing a similar regimen (except I added gynokadin) for 2 years now. I am considering upping the dosage of bica or getting the estrogen more often tho.
>>44156238how do i get on hrt in germany and what do i get20 btw
>>44197018>how do i get on hrt in germanyAstrovials ships from France.>what do i getbest option: Estradiol valerate injections monotherapy. The whole process costs about 100 euros per year.not ideal but good enough: estradiol pills (sublingual) and bicalutamide
>>44197050where to buy
>>44197128nona...
>>44197160i meant the website link
>>44197173did you even read the threadlook over the OP post it has everything you need
>>44197173astrovials dot com
>>44197188well, noi was just redirected here from another thread i made
>>44197196thanks
>>44197201nona, i get you're new, but please do your own research!DIYing is not hard or dangerous, but you need to know what you're doing in order to have a proper HRT transition>https://pghrt.diyhave a look at this, it's a very straightforward guide on how DIY works
if im lactating does that mean my boobs are done growing?
>>44197233>are you taking any galactagogue (lactation inducers, like domperidone)>stopped hrt abruptly (can sometimes lead to lactation)>did it just happened out of nowhere??the latter shouldn't happen
>>44197233>>44197254and no, lactation does not equal cessation of breast developmentbut i'm more concerned on why tf you're lactating, since you don't seem to know either
>>44197283I actually have no clue, took cypro for the first year of my transition so prolactinoma was a real concern for a bit but after getting a blood test everything seemed normal, ive heard idiopathic lactation does happen so it might be that
it started really soon after I started prog idk if that's just a coincidence
>>44197050>>44197222>40€ but out of stockfuck
>>44196999cool, I used to take bica every day before detrooning and I think I had some weird side effect but I really want to try it again at a lower dose
>2.5y on hrt (0.15mL/week @ 40mg/mL)>1.5y on prog>34a cup size>didn't eat much when starting up until nowdo i still have hope to see any more growth? i really don't want to get BA
I’m 7 years HRT, B cups, on E mono now but started spiro and sublingual. Is it possible to get more breast growth from anything at this point? I’ve heard about some growth hormone peptides, prog (never committed to taking it just tried it a bit), and clobetasol. Would any of these help at this point? Should I just get BA?
>>44197358>>44197384idiopathic galactorrhea fits, considering you just started prog, the higher blood levels most likely caused it to onsetalso, things like:>frequent breast/nipple stimulation>medications such as antipsychotics (especially risperidone) and antidepressants like SRIs (not the same as SSRIs)>underlying conditions like hypothyroidismanyway, if it's not a prolactinoma then it shouldn't be a major concern, go to a doctor if you must
>>44197504take creatine or something. if something is described as just a 'peptide' it's either not as good as something else, contains lead, or both
it's been 10 days since i ordered my vial. I know symphony takes almost a month to ship but the Wait is making me wanna lop my balls off with a rusty knife bc I'm deathly afraid something will go wrong. If it never ships or arrives I'm using these needles to repeatedly stab myself until something interesting happens
>>44197050why would you recommend valerate over enantate
>>44198214i ordered on the 4th and usps finally got my vial, so theyre still sending stuff out. weird that yours wasnt send out first though
what does having a pussy after bottom surgery feel like?on and off I think about it but I'm concerned it'd just feel like a cock except way less sensitive or something, or like it'd be impossible to get aroused anymore from some fuckery going on down there idk
>>44199505>what does having a pussy after bottom surgery feel like?After recovery it just feels like my sex organ. It's not some specific physical feeling.Emotionally, I feel great though. Both when I'm aroused (for obv reasons) but also in general.>feel like a cock except way less sensitive or somethingNo. It does feel vaguely similar to getting hard when I'm aroused though.As for sensitivity, it does depend quite a bit on method and surgeon. I'm sensitive enough and overall higher libido than before.>it'd be impossible to get aroused anymore from some fuckery going on down there idkThis isn't 2005.Hybrid PPT has very low complication rate and haven't had troubles getting aroused and getting naturally wet.Had SRS in 2022.
>>44199695What is hybrid PPT vs normal PPT? Anyone know if Chettawut is any good btw?
>>44199175Just shot them an email. Hope they answer. I'm probably killing myself if this vial doesn't arrive, haha. I had to sell a lot of stuff to gather enough scratch.
>>44201236If your situation is this dire please use one of the mutual aid programs next time.Symphony has one. Aurelia has one. There's atleast 1 or 2 more that I know exist but their name escapes me, they arent listed on valerie.Otherwise there is always someone willing to donate you a vial, please reach out.
>>44198391>>44197222i honestly dont know what im exactly looking for or at eitherthis one said out of stock >>44202070 and there are four total options while this one is the cheapest actually wait how do i even get the needles
is sublingual that much worse than injections? i dont care that its just a tiny half inch needle that goes in my belly needles still scare the shit out of me. i could never do injections, not alone at least. dont tell me about how you "got over it" i know your ass watches characters on tv draw blood or do heroin and you dont skip those scenes or episodes. im not made of sterner stuff like that.
>>44202350It’s a lot more expensive, but all other things considered it isn’t that much worse if you have a good antiandrogen and high dose. Just don’t hondose yourself, get your levels tested if possible it’s a lot easier to accidentally hondose on pills than injections. You could also look into patches.
>>44202372i agree its more expensive but its a more managable expense than like gel or even patches. i read something about being on antiandrogens long term being bad for you, is that just with spiro or the other ones too?
I'm honestly tempted to get in contact with some tranny just to help me get a vial, like meet up irl but idk if that sounds creepy, weird or like I'm the fucking police trying to set them updoes that sound stupid? I feel like it is but getting crypto here genuinely fucking sucks so getting someone else to get me a vial seems preferable (not asking anyone here for it, just wondering how would someone go around doing it? can't get any crypto stuff here because you need id for that shit, fuck this shithole)
>>44202146>actually wait how do i even get the needlesany pharmacy has them. They're over the counter and they don't give af why you buy them.
>>44202393Each has their own risks. Spiro is bad don’t do it. Bicalutamide and Cyproterone Acetate are okay, cypro needs tests for prolactin for safety. GNrH Agonists are also an option, but they come with a T spike at the beginning (can take bical to block it from doing anything) and can be very expensive.
>>44157211>unfounded attacks against homebrewerslmao, what's that?
I'm 10 months on hrt and have a appointment with my Endo next week. Would now be a good time to ask for prog??? I want to start it so bad but I heard it's good to wait a while before starting
