>>44840910I only have access to 2mg E Pills. What should my regiment be?
>>44841369Take them sublingually 3-4 times a day.
>>44841369Monotherapy is difficult if not impossible on pills, even sublingual, so you need to find a way to get cypro or bica
>>44841529Not impossible just a real pain in the ass, you could hypothetically dose 1mg every 3 hours for somewhat stable levels if you don't mind waking up in multiple times per night.
>>44841593>8mg/daySounds expensive.
>>44841496>>44841529>>44841369Good advice. Sublingual the estrogen pills 3-4 times a day and add cyproterone acetate
>>44840910can anyone help me figure out how to safely mail hrt to my house without people seeing (po box isn't an option for me)
>>44841369>I only have access to 2mg E Pills. why?>>44841735do people check your mail? anyone you could mail it to that you would trust? maybe poste restante?
>>44841915nobody to trust, but my mom questions any mail i get
>>44841950you have to be 18+ to post here
>>44841987im 18, i live with my parents
>>44840910did a bloodtest recently and my levels are significantly higher after switching to injecting in my thigh instead of my stomach. does location really effect absorption that much or was I just injecting incorrectly?
>>44842031was the test the same duration from your last injection?
>>44841950the package is quite small, maybe you could lie that its some keychain or whatever, maybe you could get one at a store if she wants to see, unless she would like insist on you opening it infront of her
quick unrelated question: anyone here know what the fuck happened to astro? site been down for a few days and i'm starting to get worried
>>44842085pic isnt related
>>44842085>the package is quite smallYeah nta but I was shocked at how tiny my vial was, I was expecting something way bigger.
>>44842102it will likely still be quite small, maybe it differs from who you order from but every time i received it was a padded letter about the size of my hand that fit through the mailbox
>>44841735If you are American you can do "General Delivery" where the package gets sent to the postal office and you pick it up from there.https://faq.usps.com/s/article/What-is-General-DeliveryOther countries probably also have similar services as well.
>>44842130probably, post office is 30 minutes away but maybe i can do dat
>>44842184i guess i just gotta work out getting a job to buy diy
>>44842210injections are cheap as fuck, a single shift flipping burgers should get you a year's supply, likely even two
>>44842232yea but is scary and job huntin is hard
>>44842238Working sucks so bad but living with nosey parents is so much worse.
>>44842240>>44842232Anon would have to work at least two burger flipping jobs to afford rent in this economy.

>>44842875It really do be like that sometimes
>>44840910does anyone else here get much worse depression and anxiety on (oral) progesterone? i hopped back on it for the first time in a while like a bit less than a month ago and it's lowk been hell honestly. i'm really irritable, the smallest things make me spiral, my dysphoria and social anxiety are way worse. i don't really enjoy boofing that much but maybe i need to? i try taking it with food for better absorption. any help appreciated because it's driving me crazy. utrogest 200mg capsules btw.
What's the go-to seller for eu right now? I need hrt urgently I can't do this shit anymore I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna start I'm going all in
>>44843241Progesterone makes me fucking psychotic, i don't take it anymore
>>44840910whats felicitas label supposed to look like?
>>44843260that sucks. i wonder if it might be worth trying topical prog to get some of the effects without the mental health symptoms.
>>44843249used to be astrovials but their website has been down for a couple days, now maybe felicitas or serapharma but they both dont have stock atm
what is a good starting dose if I don't want to masculinize but I also need to minimize visible changes until I can move out
>>44843241do a reading in allopreg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AllopregnanoloneWomen experiencing moderate to severe postpartum depression when treated with a single dose of intravenous brexanolone display a significant reduction in HAM-D scores which persisted 30 days post-treatment.[19]Side effectsSide effects of brexanolone include dizziness (10–20%), sedation (13–21%), headache (18%), nausea (10%), dry mouth (3–11%), loss of consciousness (3–5%), and flushing (2–5%).[6][10][8][20] It can produce euphoria to a degree similar to that of alprazolam (3–13% at infusion doses of 90–270 μg over a one-hour period).[6] Serious or severe adverse effects are rare but may include altered state of consciousness, syncope, presyncope, fatigue, and insomnia.[20]TL;DR yes, boof it , oral P4 turns into allop
>>44842005Then a PO box is an option for you lol.
>>44843911You actually need proof of residence to get a PO box and they don't accept your mail or anything, you usually need a copy of a deed or lease. So unless anon is on her parents' home's lease or deed she's fucked.
>>44842240i live in a semi expensive area i doubt i can afford to move out even if i work for a few months :(>>44842244ya
>>44843911Literally who are you to tell me what is an option for me and what isn't??>>44844010^^^
>>44844194stay strong and don't fall for the trade meme like me :(
>>44844010>>44844204you dont need proof of residence. just use iPostal1 or something similar
>>44844248no idea what that is but this is the google search result po boxes still arent an option for me so it doesnt matter
>>44844218tyyyy (also what meme..)
>>44844280you are ordering estrogen for a business?
>>44844321ya i run planned parenthood yo
>>44844330yo thats crazy

Is purplepanda a trustworthy vendor? Trying to buy prog raws rn
Is 10mg of cypionate every 10 days a good dose? I'm low on needles and want to inject less frequently.
Does anyone have experience with DIY HRT in Japan?
>>44843529sooo... where do euro trannies currently get hrt from? do they just starve?????
>>44843725yeah i read about allopregnanolone and i have other symptoms that suggest mine is elevated like very vivid dreams etc so that will be it. i guess i'll just boof from now on. i even found threads from cis women on HRT saying oral prog made them crazy and vaginal route was better. i do worry that the type of capsules i have aren't meant for rectal administration and won't break down properly but perhaps i don't need to worry about this, idk.
bump for public interest
>>44845718Yep, I got prog and een raws from them no problem. I believe there's some third party testing floating around somewhere too
bump
>>44848368yup I've been 3 months without e right now
>>44852296Aren't overseas pharmacies still an option?
on 8mg sublingual estradiol daily, 100mg prog oral daily, and 22.5mg triporelin biannually. t is nuked and undetectable. e levels are 200+ how should I improve? I'm still an ogrehon after a year

are prog injectables a thing? im awful at remembering to take pills every day (much less push them up my ass) and it kills me only being able to buy like two month supplies at a time bc u.s. customs is hell
>>44855029They are but from what I've heard they suck
>>44855112like they don't work?
>>44855116There's synthetic progestins like medroxyprogesterone and norethisterone which are injectable but they have some androgenic activity.
>>44855162eughhhwhats the point of an androgenic progesterone
>>44855258I could be wrong but iirc progesterone itself has weak androgenic activity, the synthetic progestins are usually used for hormonal birth control.
>>44855443ive read they can suppress endogenous e production but that shouldnt b a problem if you're taking exogenous e anywayif progesterone has some mild androgenic activity regardless of how you take it, why did you say synthetic progestins suck...?
I just did my first injection and honestly that really didn't hurt very much. I understand the needle fear though, I had a needle phobia myself at one point until I got poked and prodded with them a bunch, constantly. Also I noticed a very small amount of fluid followed the draw needle out of the vial and on top of the stopper, I guess it's because I injected some air before drawing, like some videoguides recommend? Maybe I should've avoided that the first time?
>>44855685I'm not knowledgeable enough so I don't actually know if progesterone itself has mild androgenic activity or if that's due to conversion into dht. But I know that a lot of the synthetic progestins have some androgenic activity and anecdotally I've heard they're better avoided if you're a tranny.
>>44853018>>44854545https://rentry.co/hrtgtemp
>>44853018??it's the same OP as always
>>44855443>>44855766bio identical prog is anti androgenic. synthetic progestins are usually to varying degrees androgenic tho (apart from some like drospirenone, which is anti androgenic)
I can't find a single source for bioidentical sublingual e :(
>>44857980it's missing the links (or barring that because of automatic censoring bullshit) a link to the links like >>44856170
Should an amab enby go on hrt?
>>44858616basically all oral e can be taken sublingual. even if it says only take orally
>>44858706depends what effects you want/don't want/would tolerate
>otk out of stock immediatelylife as a europoor is endless suffering
hai anyone had heras usps shipping be stuck on awaiting item lmk what happens after 3 weeks can they do anything to fix it, do they reship, is there anything i can do? suffering so bad
oh also is 3-4x a day subL e truly better than 2x a day cus i still have my hondose pill script of 6mg i’ve been splitting 4/2 cus the big peak feels rlly stabilizing but idk tho maybe like 2/2/2 would be more effective cus im having horrible temperature regulation and energy and depression and sleep issues i miss my injection so bad i hate how fast pills drop off
>>44852296which country?
do you know anybody who has ever tried HRT for a short time (less than two months), then realized HRT "wasn't for them" in that short span of time and detransitioned immediately? I'm not saying this to blackpill anybody, I just think that if transitioning really wasn't the correct path for you that the immediate effects of estrogen should make alarm bells go off in your head and say "This is not for me."I ask because it seems as though the people who detrans only do it after having been on HRT for a really long time and that tells me that the estrogen itself wasn't making them realize it was a mistake.
>>44859581Stability is the goal 2/2/2 seems better. That was my backup plan when I was having allergic reaction to Valerate worked ok for a few days before I gave up
>>44860218The thing is two months is not long enough for the full effects of hrt, it's just long enough to feel the beginning effects. I can imagine a large sunk cost fallacy pushing people to continue until they feel they've had a full experience of the changes, which takes like 3 years. Plus tons of confounding factors like social transition, etc can keep a person distracted during the whole process; you might not have time to fully reflect on it until a long while into hrt.Also people in that category (hrt for two months then stop) if they genuinely desisted, are probably no longer in contact with trans spaces or people. Sort of an unknowable group.
>>44858768How can you tell apart the bioidentical part though? So many of these European shops only seem to sell synthetics, they're barbarians...
Anybody have a good site for needles that ships to Illinois? The two I usually order from are both not currently taking orders :/
Does anyone have any experience and advice on how how to do all this in eastern eu on a tight budget ?
>>44863022can you afford 80 usd?
>>44863049per month yes I think so
>>44863142and also I forgot to say but I would prefer to get pills and not injections cause I dont have much privacy and pills are easier to hide than needles
>>44863164injections are like 80 usd a year, do they check your room?
>>44842875I can confirm that Symphony vials sometimes still have hair, just received one like a week ago. But they're refunding me and shipping me a free one too so I can't complain.
>>44863671Yeah sometimes sadly, my mother is a bit psychotic even tho Im an adult now she doesnt care at all about privacy
hey yo how we doinggood to see the thread back upcant prove it obviosity but i held the keys to the gen for a little while before i went on state mandated vacation for... uh.... can't remember, oh well!but then it was fine because shero took up the torch, hopefully she's wellshame theres no text in the gen but you gotta do what you gotta doanyway probably ordering a vial soon even tho shipping is gonna take 2 months because im a smelly britbonger and america FUCK YEAHive never used any needles before but i'm going to have to so is there any type/brand that i could start with that anyone could recommend? cheers much>>44865180>mfw shitphony in the big 26 basically a lottery to see if you get a free one or not
>>44865496I LOVE SHEROMAN!
>>44840936prolly
>>44840910>>44840916jfc this is so complicated, I think I'm too retarded to transition
>>44863164pills would be close to 80 a month, you should really figure out a way to do injections instead
>>44859814norway
>>44867476it's really simple, you just take the thing and check the levels at through until it works
>>44867912we suffer
>>44867937yea i am too numb to even care at this point. theres so much resistance and its such a exhausting slog just to get the bare minimum to live. they got me i guess
>>44867993>>44867937you must imagine the jew laughing at you whenever you feel like giving up
caught a bad cold, should i wait until i'm no longer sick as a dog to take my first injection
>>44868061Unless you're too sick to get out of bed I don't see why it would matter all that much.
>>44868026the jew has too much control over me, I'm afraid
>>44840910Hi hrtgenI'm currently questioning still if I want to transition and I feel like I want to take the step towards it.My number one question I guess is, where do I buy it.In the past I shut down the idea of even getting hrt because I just can't imagine giving myself an injection but I think I'm willing to try. I guess my worry was just I'd mess it up somehow but I assume there's a proper safe way to do itI also live with family members that I don't want to know I'm doing this. Most likely, they will see whatever I order in the mail before I do. I'm not necessarily concerned about that, unless the mail is obviously hrt, but if it isn't I think I can get it past them.This might be a dumb question but does ordering hrt come with the needles? Do I have to buy my own? How can I be discreet about those too?I'm guessing I don't need to do anything else but take hrt at a certain dose if I want to transition male to female?Apologies in advance if these are super common questions...
>>44868310I was so nervous regarding needles I passed out several times the first few injections, and I was so nauseous I almost threw up for weeks after. At some point I got over it. It still makes me queasy, but I know how quickly it's over, and that helps a lot.You practically cannot mess up hrt, it's such an insignificant medication even if you screw up the injection at worst you go without a dose for a week, but it can't end up killing or even harming you in any way.You just buy needles from your local pharmacy. It's difficult to be fully "discreet" about ordering them, but buying them online is reception-free and the physical store clerks might ask what medication you're taking with it, but nothing more. Legally, you can't be a suspect of anything just from buying needles.you'll figure it out
>>44868310just don't try to inject it into your veins and you're good
>>44868310>unless the mail is obviously hrtsome vendors offer discreet packaging I think, and label it as 'lavender oil' or something. just don't order from otokonoko they label is 'femboy oil'

>>44869483I am too retarded what does this mean
>>44869920astrovials will be back and didnt just leave
>>44865298i know someone who just gets the needles in small packs of 5 and the vial is very small, i think it wouldnt be much harder than pills and injections are a bit more convenient i think, but idk i just shill vials tbdesu
Could increasing my spironolactone dose slow down facial hair growth or should I just consider lasering it instead?
>>44871611marginally but if you have that much growth to begin with you probably need laser, once hair follicles go terminal you can only slow down the growth
