>>44589968>qottval sadlydo any of yall have recommendations for good prog suppliers? I heard it needs to be safe to shove up your butt, and some pills arent capable of that for some reason.
bump
>>44591069I personally make my own suppositories using micronized prog powder and suppository base. The other Sheroman link has a list of pharmacies https://rentry.co/hrtgtemp. Most of them offer some. Make sure it says oral and vaginal capsules.
is bica going to make me depressed? I ordered 50mg pills and low mood is the only possible side effect I'm worried about. I can be pretty sensitive to that sort of thing
>>44591476also I read you can just do bica two times per week instead of every day and it should have the same effect. is that true?for context I also ordered 2mg estradiol pills from brazil which I do plan to take two times per day.

before Symphony makes another blog post playing victim and blaming people for lying about them taking preorders, by definition, selling vials that your shipping partner does not have on hand yet, is by definition, preordering.amazing that it took symphony a whole month to admit their mistake and contact people about hundreds of lost orders.
>>44591487why not do mono injections
>>44591476probably notthat's just an antiandrogen side effect
>>44591548needles are scary ;_;I might at some point but I've never done this before so I want to try something less scary before I stick a needle in me.
When I was 1-2 months in I noticed I had pretty bad ED and very little output but now I have none output at all but the ED is going away and i noticed that I wake up with morning wood more often than before, although that always coincided with lewd dreams which I also lost in the first 1-2 months but are coming back now..Is this to be expected or did I somehow mess up my HRT? I expected that the ED would last which I was sorta happy about. 3 months in soon.
I've been diying for 6 months on 5mg enanthate weekly while lying to my doctor that I've been taking his prescription of 5mg valerate every 2 weeks + 100mg spiro. I got my blood tests back and my e is at 350 and my t is at 20. would I be able to lie that my levels are just from his dose? I wanna continue pretending i've been following his prescription so my blood tests and hopefully surgeries can be covered by insurance.
I inject intramuscularly and a mosquito bit me close to the injection site. Is there a chance that it drank some of the estradiol in the depot and I am now hondosed until the next injection?
>>44592159i was going to say you inadvertently made a mosquito troon out, but then i remembered all the ones that bite are females
Should I split two 2mg E up into four 1mg E to take them across the day? sublingually ofc? Or am I just splitting hairs here over 4mg daily?
Is there anything I can take to make my hair grow faster?
Can you do sublingual monotherapy or do you still need AA when going that route?
yo uhhthread is kinda dead but i just got my spray and i wanna ask some questionsdo i spray it on my arms or legs, whats the recommended dosage (i've not done bloods yet btw) brewer also included some cypro ace, i know you don't need to take AA with sprays but if i do take it will it make it more effective?thanks in advance
>>44589968Should I lower my een dose after an orchi? Or should I keep it the same as when I was on an AA?
is there like a generally ok starting doseive seen anywhere from 4mg - 6mg being recommended with hondosers advocating for like 2mg(pills)What does planned parenthood generally put you onmy trans guy friend keeps talking about planned parenthood this and that but i think im just gonna diy since I dont trust doctors(unlike him, who claimed that .25ml was a good and normal starting dose for T, luckily he started at .5ml or 50mg)
>>44595193theres no such thing as a starting dose if by that you mean a lower dose you take at the beginning to ease into itif anything you'd do a loading dose, meaning a very high dose for your first one or two injectionsotherwise, just take 4 to 6mg of een, it will take months for your levels to be where they're supposed to be, you dont need to go out of your way to fiddle with it
>>44592865eat protein rich food mostlyhair supplements are a thing (biotin is the big one) but i think they mostly affect your hair qualityhair growth rate depends mainly on genetics and whether you're eating enough protein
not related to the question but i want to ask something since i haven't been able to find a clear answer anywherei haven't started hrt yet but will my hypothyroidism have some effect on the process? yeah i could ask my endocrinologist but he'd probably take it as a joke so i think it's better to get an answer here
>>44595601there is some evidence or speculation that HRT could cause hypothyroidism IIRCmight be something to keep in mindbut if you're getting checked for it already its probably alright if anything is wrong you'll know
fucks up w hera i’ve been trying to get a vial of ev for like a month now. is aurelia fine and what’s shipping time like ill do een if i have to. need anything asap is there any place that sells pills and ships fast incase i cant get vial?>>44592063js say u took biotin (makes e2 falsely read higher on labs) on accident and if he makes u redo labs put ur injection day off by like 2 days to drop levels a bit lower for blood test >>44592501idk low ahh dose u should raise if possible. if i was on that id be worried abt not getting a high enough peak with that type of split but atp consistency prob better desu js intuition dose it>>44592881if high dose prob need at least 6mg idk>>44595021not familiar but pulse points generally i thought >>44595193just blast e. official route is good js to get future surg tho for paperwork. u can go official and diy at the same time if u want
My levels with sublingual are 49.2 of/mLI'm guessing this is a hondose?What should I be injecting EEn? That's coming in a few days (hopefully)
>>44589968What can I even do at this point. Prog ?1 year and a half hrt for this shit. Everything is ropefuel. Feels like everyone else gets better results. Een monotherapy.
>>44589968i take 8 mg valerate a week but am kind of curious what 10 might do am i being a dumb bitch
when is symphony going to fire their current shipper because she's not doing a very good job
oh good the thread cane back today. Didn't see it before bed....might as well reply to nonny then.>>44582736You are right. E is nothing more than a supplement, a multivitamin during a fast, a can of Monster before my Sunday shift.I dunno about media portrayals; Cronenberg doesn't usually evoke thoughts of injection, aside from ExistenZ, or...Videodrome with the belly vagina I guess??? I did play Mother Russia Bleeds and Katana Zero, but aside from challenging myself not to use chronos or health jabs for the fun (and the good ending during the last boss in MRB), I didn't think much of it. Hmm....I started Prey yesterday, and applying Neuromods offers some brief "ahhhhh needles" imagery early on. I wish I noticed it more in games.
>>44596559uh become a betiful caterpillar
>>44596360>fucks up w hera i’ve been trying to get a vial of ev for like a month nowShiiiiit I got my cypionate from Hera, I hope this doesn't keep happening in future. I did get a solid five months' supply though to start.
>>44595601What do you mean a joke? That's a completely normal question for an endocrinologist to answer, if not them then who WOULD you ask aside from other people who pushed through similar circumstances? Just say, if I were to begin using (insert hormone here) would it be more effective, less effective, or about the same with my condition? You don't have to confess anything or even come out, just be open ended and hypothetical and if they ask say you might be on some form of hormone supplement for hair growth or fat loss shit sometime and would like to know these things.
>>44597443right literally been temporarily closed for longer than they’ve been open as of recent. thought id be able to get a vial once they opened up fast cus im in the same place they ship from but i stalled and missed the window

Is celestial hrt safe?
quitting spiro after 7 years on it!!!>>44597574i have the same issue and just ordered a silk bonnet to sleep in, hoping it helps
>>44597574it might help if you're lacking it from your diet, trying doesnt hurtkeep in mind that it fucks up your bloodwork though. you have to stop taking it for a few days before.
>>44597604it's on the vendor list so they should be reliable
>>44597485i live in a highly transphobic country and i'm a gorillahon, if i lived in a more accepting country i wouldn't have any problem asking
>>44597537Brutal. I just went with Hera on a whim, set my old voinbase account back up, and bought my vials. You have my sympathy.
>>44597640Well, I'm sorry to hear that. What country is it? Don't have to answer if you don't want to.
>>44597672i'll just say it's in central america thay already says enough
>>44597851Hugs...
>>44598086ay thanks i really needed that
So I tried switching to my thigh, and I still get an itchy lump around the injection site. It's not as itchy as the one on my belly, but it's still annoying as hell. Is this my life now? Nobody sells benzyl-free injections afaik and I'm not autistic enough to make my own bathtub estrogen from raws.
>>44598191is it still there after a few days?
>>44596523Can anyone answer my question?
>>44596523>>44598272is that 49 pg/ml?that is low, you optimally want 200-300 pg/mlfor enanthate you want about 5mg weekly
>>44598203Yeah, I injected 2 days ago though.
>>44598314if you switch legs every week would it go away in between?a small reaction probably isn't a big deal, so long as you rotate injection sites enough
I've been injecting 8 mg/wk Enanthate (0.20ml at 40 mg/ml) for about a year. I also take Progesterone 200mg/day rectal (100 morning, 100 night) and Pioglitazone (30mg morning). Is it worth getting a blood test, I haven't had one yet. What should I test for?
>>44598386unrelated but hows your boob growth?
>>44598369I don't know, this was my first time in the leg.I still have a lump on my belly from the previous injection.
>>44598306Perfect thank you. Hopefully my vial arrives soon!
>>44598404Very good. I also use Clob cycling for breast growth specifically which is a bit scary but it has helped immensely. I am at a B cup and 23.5 BMI. I've considered fatmaxxing once I reach 2 years HRT.
>>44598454what was your starting hrt dose and when did you start prog? damn youre on the whole stack. gz on your results nona
>>44598495I started Prog at 6 months (100 mg/day) and bumped it to 200 mg/day at 9 months. From what I've heard starting prog early can be bad and people recommend waiting for a year. I've always been on 8mg/wk outside of first 3 months where I was at 6 mg/wk.
>>44592063You’re gonna get caught for fraud lol

If I already have misshapen manboobs, how does that affect what HRT does?Are they more or less likely to grow compared to if I had a flat chest? How does it impact the shape?
I'm first trying to learn about all this shit and basically know nothingHow do you all prevent the fact you're on HRT from showing up on blood tests and shit when you go to the doctor if you're not out?
>>44601053>>Are they more or less likely to grow compared to if I had a flat chestprobably, but there's no way of knowing
>>44601149Probably to which?
>>44592159hahaha
>>44591700no seriously please someone answer me..why is this thing starting to work again, i thought it was dead for good :<kinda scared that something is wrong that caused this change
>>44601105you dont need to. they only test what is strictly necessary because it would be a waste of money to screen for everything. going to a mental hospital which draws my blood pretty often and nothing ever showed up. if they were to ever specifically look at hormones then there is no way to avoid that besides refusing the test but outside of that it seems like hrt is pretty stealthy so far, at least for me.
I'm conflicted. I want to try HRT but my bf really doesn't like the idea. He's generally supportive but the moment I mention hormones he shuts down. His biggest issue seems to be breast growth which isn't that important to me anyway. I read about raloxifene and how it can limit breast growth but what if I just took small oral doses of estradiol without suppressing my T? basically hondosing myself. would that work? I know it won't fully feminise me but I think I'd be happy even with limited effects, whatever they might be.
>>44601875Do a blood test. Uncontrollable erections never came back for me
>>44597559Maybe not actually. Still, anyone else only have growth behind the nipple ? I kinda just have very protruding nipples and nothing else.
If I already have a half used vial and I want to buy another, should I make an order with symphony, hoping that when they don't ship my order out, they'll refund me and ship me two vials for free after 2 months of waiting?
>>44602551sure why not
>>44602551better try another place. i dont think that they are outright evil but them being very neglectful has become more than just a pattern...
>>44602397how many months incheck levels
>>44602336you know what fuck it I'll just take a slightly lower than recommended dose and cycle on/off when I start feeling chest pains. he said he'd be okay with microdosing which I know isn't a super reliable way to prevent boobs from growing but he doesn't know that. maybe he won't even notice or maybe it will activate some neurons in his bisexual brain and he'll actually end up liking it we'll see.
>>446026691 year and a half. Levels are good probably. Couldn't do blood works but I got one recently and everything is very very suppressed. And good level E
>>44602723just wait then
>>44602336>>44602711dump him. I mean it, no one is worth letting testosterone rape your body
>>44602765eh I think it'll be fine, I wanted to start slow anyway. He doesn't like the idea of it but I honestly doubt he'll even notice if anything does start growing.
>>44602844you will regret thist. you (more or less)
okay my dysphoria disappeared again see you all next week
>>44603063stop repping!!!!!!
>>44603069it's okay I'm enbycoping and I only get dysphoric when I'm hungover
>>44603178stop repping. there is no escape.
Felicitas whennn? It's awesome that they're back, their E is way better than the garbage I got from Voix Celeste, and they also have prog suppositories, but it means nothing if everything is out of stock..
>>44603240I'm not repping! I'm out to all my friends on discord...

im on monotherapy, is progesterone necessary?
>>44603676Yes. Increases your libido, helps with fat distribution, and protects against breast cancer. No reason not to.
>>44598427i regularly get lumps too i suspect the needle is too long (1/2 inch) so im trying to get 1/4
endo has decided to hondose me with 100 ug patches. after 8 years of hrt. I feel menopausal
>>44604928diy
>>44605034I'm going to supplement with a bit of gel
>>44589968op can you at least link the template page with all the links hrtgen is way worse without it
I've been on hrt for four years and over the last 9 months it has just like stopped working. I get morning erections, my discharge has very white hue to it and im getting stronger and hairier. my levels last came back with 215 e and 20ngdl t at trough but i keep looking more and more grotesque no matter what medications i take or what i do im just like doomed.Im currently on 4mg ev every 5 days and 12.5 cypro daily ive been on higher doses but i recently scaled back because things worked best when i was on a hon dose of 50mg spiro and 4mg e pills.Does anyone have any advice for how i could get things working okay again? Sorry if this isnt the right thread.
>>44605851I tried but there are several links which seems blocked on 4chan by janitors/admins.Valerie links are one of them. I will let someone else create the next /HRTGen/ thread.
>>44589968>qottI switched to undecylate recently-ish (one injection a month? sign me up), but I didn't realize just how thick the castor oil would be compared to mct oil. I did the first injection with my regular 31g needle... it took over an hour and I had to use so much pressure that both of my index fingers had recurrent twitches for weeks. The previous two injections, I used 25g, which was better but still VERY HARD. Each one took like 5 minutes with a needle in my thigh trying not to wiggle it around inside me while pushing down with everything I could. Just terribleI finally caved and bought 22g needles to draw and 23g to inject. It only took a minute to draw and about the same to inject! I barely even pushed on the plunger! It didn't even hurt going in.I guess this is a warning to anyone starting injections. If you have the thin stuff, 31g is great and doesn't hurt, but if you have the thick stuff, it will hurt less to just use the bigger needle from the beginning.>>44591573If you make sure your E is in mct oil, you can use 31g needles! They are TINY. You literally can't feel it go in most of the time.
>>44589968Just started HRT (EEn mono) a few days ago, should I ramp the dosage up slowly? or do I go with a high dose right from the start? Sources give mixed information.I am currently planning on doing 6mg/week which should get me a stable 350.
is a vial i bought last october still good to use? it looks clear, but i have opened it
>>44606661Just do your planned normal dose
>>44606663it shouldn't magically go bad, depending on how well you treated your hygiene around drawing from it it should be fine
how to i get bloodwork done in germany? preferably without my gp seeing all the results. i really want to boymode wherever possible and sorta want to avoid as much talking as possible..
>>44589968how do you actually tell if you have high dht w/o like your hair falling out (the men in my family have quite a bit of hair even into late age so i wouldn't rely on that)my skin seems more oily than usual recently and i haven't seen anything else notably concerning but tests for this shit are too expensive and prog is weird and idk. i've been on 100mg prog for like a month or so.
>>44589968Anybody know how long Hera takes to ship? Bought my first vial a week ago and the tracking hasn't updated at all from label created>>44607122>W/o hair falling outThere's your answer nona, it's not too high.
>>44604756>1/4wtf, that's way too shorteven with a 1/2 needle you have to inject at 90 degrees for a proper subcutaneous injection. too shallow and it will make the irritation even worse. virtually no risk of accidentally giving yourself an intramuscular injection (not that it really matters with estrogen.)
Hi guys,I reported last thread that my E is 42 pg/mLI know that's a low level, but is it enough to keep my breasts?
>>44608226for s.c. leg injections insulin needles are recommended to be 6mm (3/4") if that's any indication
>>44609308>3/4"i meant 1/4 math is hard
>>44608936Can anyone answer my question? I keep freaking out about my boobs shrinking I can't stop worrying about it
>>44609316that's just insulinsubcutaneous needles are usually 1/2 or 5/8
>>44608936>>44609410probably not, unless you lose weight
>>44609308>>44609316Injecting insulin into a muscle is extremely dangerous, hence why insulin pens tend to have a shorter needle. Estradiol, on the other hand, can be injected into muscle or fat, it doesn't matter as long as it's a safe injection site.

Got a weird question, has anyone noticed an uptick in BO on progesterone specifically armpit stank? I went from 100mg to 200 a few months ago and I swear I stink more now
>>44610194progesterone can metabolize into androgens, that's why
>>44610199That's annoying but I assume not a problem considering my levels are fine. Good to know.
>>44610254if your levels are fine, surejust be careful because it could be dht or other weird androgens that don't show up on just a testosterone testpersonally I can tell if my levels are off based on if my skin starts to get rough, it's not a problem unless you're getting side effects that are a problem
>>44610280Hmm noted, well ill see if I cant get my DHT tested and maybe throw some finasteride into my regimen if needed.
>>44610344dutasteride for prog. finasteride doesnt block prog->DHT afaik.
>>44589968got a problem here, so I went to a shitty informed consent clinic, and they are dragging their feet on prescribing me anti androgens for some reason, can I do mono with .2mg/24hr patches twice weekly
>>44589968Can I get a tldr on mono E vs mono AA vs E+AA?
is 130 pg/ml at trough too low? T level is 25 ng/dl.
>>44612304Should mention I inject estradiol cypionate at 4mg
I’m going to lower my EEn dose from 4mg to 3.6mg (not great not terrible) to get horny again
>>44612304Honestly perfect that you can suppress T at such estrogen levels. Those E levels are fine for cis women.
>>44612369just take prog retard
>>44612381I want my dick to still work
>>44612386My balls are also atrophying I can feel myself making less T
>>44606678how sure are you about this? I don't want to fuck things up any more.
>>44589968Should I up my EEn dose from 4mg/7 days to 8mg/10?
>>44612738No>EEn has half life 7 days, ur levels will vary widly>That much estradiol will nuke your libido and shrink ur pp>If you want long term injections get undecylate
>>44612753>That much estradiol will nuke your libido and shrink ur ppis that actually a thing i'd be interested in intentionally having stupid levels if it meant smaller pp
>>44612753I dont see how nuking my libido would be a bad thing. if anything I would be happy for something to happen becasue at the moment it feels like nothing is
Was picrel the packaging of an actual homebrewer at some point? Been seeing this image on twitter and wondering where it came from.
>>44611248>mono Eif your levels are high enough it acts as its own aa cause some gland stops telling your balls to produce it>mono AAdo not>E+AAan aa is needed for pills because pills suck bollocks and don't give you good levels. if you must use pills dissolve em under your tongue to absorb it through the mucous membrane instead of swallowing them

I’ve made a small shrine to Sheroman and have been presenting burnt offerings and prayers every day. I hope she becomes powerful and successful in her pursuits.
wtf is pawsnax and why is it approved on valerie. i thought only reputable shops were allowed on there

I just did my first spray of transdermal progesterone, my head feels funny, like I just took a benzo. Wtf?
>>44621495it can have that effect there's some gaba pathway thing or something probablyprogesterone metabolizes into something that has side effects like that in some people
the half life of transdermal prog is 30 hours? lmaoI got the spray from hera hrt. How much should I be taking? I plan on doing 1 spray at night and one spray in the morning.
the suspense is killing me while i wait for my order to ship
>>44601053Probably helps a bit, but mostly from actually having some body fatThere are some lateshit boomers with really impressive boobs and they were mostly moob equipped fatties beforeAlas I'm not one of them :/

>>44622931I'm not an oldshit but I am a manboob equipped fattyI would much rather start as an underweight anamaxxerMain benefit would be I would have stunted puberty from malnourishment, but also wouldn't have to aggresively pio weight cycle to get feminine fat distribution, could just start e and pig out

>>44622969like what
This is very bad, right? For context I've been on 2mg oral estradiol and 50mg spironolactone for the nine weeks prior to this blood test. I'll be starting 4mg e and 100mg spiro this week. Yes I know about injections I'll do that later I'm just not ready yet. Yes I know spiro is bad but it's all they're giving me.
>>44623918that's the stereotypical hondose. diy asap, if you can't handle injections get gel or something. you don't have to put up with this
>>44623955To be fair I'm not dying of dysphoria I am just a cis man deciding if I want to be a cis man on hrt. Is my latest dose bad as well or will it give me an okay idea of what to expect from HRT so I can quit within 6 months if I want to?
>>44623975If you’re a cis man that dose is kind of high I recommend reducing the E a little to one mg.
>>44623983Okay I'm not dying of dysphoria but I am uncomfortable with masculinization. If possible I want to fully troon or at least see how uncomfortable I am with feminization.
>>44623975yes both the dosages you said are hondoses>>44624021>uncomfortable with masculinizationrefer to >>44623918. I seriously doubt you will be uncomfortable with feminization. if you are you can just detroon and get masto, it's way more reversible than moidening
>>44624092This is a lie it is not more reversible high spiro doses can permanently kill your testicles
>>44624097I'm not saying to take spiro though am I? I'm saying diy mono
Is 6mg initial + 2.5mg / week a good dose when first starting HRTI'm doing EEn IM mono
>>44624092I don't know. My lower libido has felt like a double edged sword. I'm more productive but I feel less in touch with men as a whole. Also boobs are neat but idk if I want my family to see me with them. Still, I might tradey libido for no body hair, male pattern baldness and the calm I've been feeling.>>44624147I know injections are the way to go and will probably be easier I just can't with needles right now. Call me a pussy but I need time to get used to them, I faint half the time I need to get blood drawn.
how high is too high when starting hrt (in pg/ml)? you always hear that you can get stunted development if your e levels are too high early on, but where does one draw the line?
>>44624168libido comes back if you wait long enough and your dose isn't stupidly low. if you aren't fat you can hide boobs for a long time, there was one nona who boymoded for three years and her dad forced her to go shirtless to the beach and no one batted an eye
>>44624168then get gel, then meantime play games in which characters inject themselves frequently, that worked for me
>>44624153that's sort of low from what i see. most people go with 4mg>>44624168dont know if it helps you be not so scared of syringes but it honestly doesnt even hurt if you get a good grip. if anything its more weird than painful because you see something that should probably hurt but you have trouble feeling anything instead. and even if you do it incorrectly and it does hurt it's still not a lot and goes away instantly after the needle made it in.i believe in you nona you can do itmaybe buying some and taking a look at them will help? these insulin ones are tineyyy IRL. look much bigger on pictures
>>44624779even for the first month? I wouldn't want want to overwhelm my body too much right
>>44624185>you can get stunted development if your e levels are too high early onno basis. its important to do a high dose pulse in younger patients>>446241532.5mg een/7 days prolly too low unless you have an AA>>44621646girl we aint even got levels benchmarks just go until you get smn>>44620340aipctshop, indiamart, pct247 ru>>44619617gotta get indian>>44617241dont
>>44616538its symph, no?>>44613676there is a hypothetical method of action; in reality most people get growth>>44613391a lot of countries only like to make capsules>>44606032dht? test for it/ 5alpha reductase maxx / competetive agonist maxx>>44603676can help breast development
>>44624837that's the medium/standard starting dose yeah. doing too little is worse than doing too much, dont overthink it.
>>44624847>aipctshop, indiamart, pct247 ruThanks!
>>44624779Not that anon but do you ever just have issues with your hand and arm resisting you? No matter what the grip is, no matter how little pain you know is coming, no matter how casual you try to act, like it just makes you nauseous and shaky to do it yourself?Everyone's advice either applies mainly to BEING jabbed or just, the basic concept of using needles. I need help MOVING MY ARM. I'm having my friend put her hand over mine so I can't pull away at the last second, which *might* help but not fast enough to make me feel prepared by the time she's gone....
is prog a meme?
>>44625208sorry i never had issues like that..my source of motivation is HRT being so damn important to me that even if it would hurt i would still do it because the alternative is so much worse. heart still raced a bunch the first time but out of happiness and now it actually calms me. Like actually it calms me now. I know what i am doing and what for, i know that this is good and that i am doing something nice for myself and it just happens.maybe remembering yourself of why you are doing could achieve something similar? getting a sense of duty?well then there's the the readiness to do much worse things to myself so a injection seems like nothing in comparison..
>>44625295I spent over ten hours gripping a syringe of E, repeatedly trying to psych myself up for it. That entire day and half of the next was spent naked and trying to jab. I firmly believe in doing this, truly I do, and I have no doubts that I want this. But my hand is fighting me. I can take a needle, and much larger gauge at the dentist (fuck dental syringes holy fucking shit ow), but doing it myself is just, a lot to do. I keep thinking about the bored diabetics with insulin, or the eventuality that this is going to be a non-issue, but I'm still so new to it.I said it last time I talked about this: it's like my muscle memory is against me. Like pushing your hands up in a doorway, then relaxing and walking out of it. Your arms just move, and it takes conscious effort to stop it. That's what my hands do with the needle...
as an easily sidetracked, ADHD-ridden fuck with mediocre executive function, will e make things worse, better, or have no effect
>>44616538she verified pawsnax because they're run by the symphony team. trying to rebrand after too many opsec failures and data leaks kek
>>44625419im sorry i really dont know what else could help. also you only really move your hand when you do it. at least i just put it on my stomach and then only move my hand to do the actual injection. arm stays planted.>>44625440didnt feel any change with that so far. dont think that that will change. some AA is supposed to make it a bit worse though.
are there any brewers who ship to terf island (uk)that arent shitphony kinda desperate
>>44625495wait actually? lmfao
>>44625495>Sites like ours make sure there are months worth of satisfactory feedback from customers before listing anything from themFrom valerie dot vgTell me how any of this applied when she verified pawsnax with no reviews and no sales
>>44625789diymarket is known for verifying brewers quickly after a rebrand. when teahrt went down and ogl came up, they added them the same day. I don't really give a damn if it's the same team making the same quality of product getting added
>>44625608Snow Labs but you have to add their signal
>>44625899hello sorry im retardedwhat do you mean, on valerie/coffee?
>>44625959no like they only sell over signal. I can't share it here obviously but you can ask around
>>44625871symp quality is dogshit tho and there's no evidence pawsnax has any better shipping speeds
Is there such a thing as levels being too high? I take 2mg sublingual every 4 hours for a total of 8mg, taking only my morning 2mg and getting a blood test 6 hours after I had 442 pg/ml, so in reality I'm probably peaking at a much higher level. All the guidelines say 200 is ideal but does it actually matter that much?
