how are you supposed to dosage prog? I got it without doing much research and now I see some people say that I should take it every day and some that I should only take it for x days and ten stop for a while and I don't know whom to listen to also is it better to take 100 or 200 mg?
>>45055156Read the article on transfemscience, it has graphs which show blood levels over time for each mode of administration. I think there are some related to libido and stuff too.
>>45055087I'd like a pioglitazone discord link please.
Hi, I need some help figuring out my dosages for the next month or two while I wait for my pending endo appointment. idk what info you'll need but here's about everything i think that'd be relevant. I've been taking oral estradiol 6mg/day for about a 10 months, then switched to 4mg/day for the last 2 to ration the remaining pills. I've also been taking 50mg Spiro each day. My estradiol ran out a week ago, and i've just been on Spiro since but will run out of that soon too. I have a 40mg/mL vial of EEn. I don't have any E levels from bloodtests to share. What dosage should I start and maintain with?
>>45055087rest of the OP: https://rentry.co/hrtgtemp
>>45056294start with 4mg (.1mL) every 7 days

is BoiRemovalLabs Silvermaple Labs? They are the only one with 3D printed bottles for prog & pio. because who else would have a 3D printer?
I've been trying to contact symphony labs for like 3 months via email, they have yet to respond and I'm out 100 euros.
>>45057375prog and pio is awesome but GOD WHY would you name yourself that.
GirlRemovalLabs for trans menTitRemovalLabs for non-binary
>>45057375microplastics :c
what does a persistently very low libido mean? almost feel asexual like this
>>45057375they also ship out of the same city as silvermaple did
>>45059287ur a woman
>>45056582good to see people are still posting the rentrythe only thing i can be proud of honestly
>>45056917who is willingly buying from symphony atp
>>45061814my dumbass. got some backup vials from them while I wait for my aurelia order to ship. no hair in these ones surprisingly
Ayyyy lmao how do I make transdermal spray with this?
>>45062151transdermal prog is poo
>>45062227More than 24mg of Prog will make me feel like I took Xanax.
Should I do a line of progesterone?
>>45062151>EXP: 12/01/2027I thought raws last decades, wtf?
>>45062636Probably just safety requirements, but to be honest you’d probably use all of this before it expires.
>>45057892dood they're not amazon doooood
thank you for keeping this alive, worried about what's coming
>>45062151go to r/estrogel and read>>45062527no>>45057892make a post on a reddit or on twitter they only care if you get on their ass
>>45057375didn't OGL say on reddit that silvermaple exit scammed a bunch of people
So... Which places ARE trustworthy? I noticed there are some that sound like they have control issues, scams, or are out of stock. I want to start, but I also am unsure who to trust...
>>45063646IndiaMart
>>45063663India has good quality? Well, I will put faith in your advice anon. Thank you!
>>45063677Depends on the vendor. Check een from Technotronics ( mayaaa ) and EV from Actiza Pharma. Most gel suppliers are hit and miss.
>>45063688I'm looking for injection. Also, are those other sites, or are those suppliers in the website? I'll look for both just in case. Can't be too careful with copy sites that could be scams. I don't trust the internet. It's less safe than the 2000s... At least back then you knew pretty quick through common sense if something was wrong, like pop-ups and more toolbars. Viruses these days are now subtle and boring.
>>45063729Both are suppliers on Indiamart.For Technotronics just message her on Indiamart.For Actiza, their contact number is +91 98989 72449, you can get it from their website: https://www.actizapharma.com/ , you'll get to skip the entire Indiamart process.
I feel like taking prog is thinning my hair and making my facial hair grow faster, fuck my life.
how easy is it to make my own vials from raws?
>>45056917is there any brewop that DOES do batch testing? is this really that big of a deal
where in the seven fucks are you supposed to get enanthate in the EU? literally everywhere i look is unavailable
how long on monotherapy until non-hormone related bloods start changing? i'm getting mine done every few months at a mental health place and im scared of them suddenly fining out because of that
>>45064719Yeah I'm worried about blood tests too for a different reason. Getting outed because your doctor is freaking out about your iron or whatever would be annoying.
I've been on een for ~9 months and ran out. Is it better to go on ev right now or to wait a month until een is back in stock?
>>45064258wake up.check astro. out of stock. cry.check felicitas. out of stock. cry.check proleta. out of stock. cry.go to bed.rinse and repeat daily or hourly until one of them is in stock <3
>>45064180Aurelia does! And they have a published PDF of their compounding protocol :D
>>45066643not going to trust anyone not listed on valerie
how to help reverse or stop hair loss? im on een for 2 months, i take fina, switching to duta in a bit, starting minox foam soon, is there anything else i can do? thx!
>>45066620Saw some astro stock pop up at 00:00 UTC or something. Keep checking around that time I guess.
>>45067352Microneedling is supposed to help too.
>>45067407yeahh i heard about that! is that something thats better to do before or after applying minox, im wondering
>>45067159>trusts valerie>even though they seem to vehemently back symphony..? ok nona
how long can i keep my vial? i ordered one from symphony but it took like, at least 2 months to get shipped to me. unsure how long it spent in shipping. i have my main vial, but when this one runs out, would i be able to use my symphony one? how long is the expiration time?
>>45067159valerie refuses to list aurelia over petty internal politics and manipulation by symphony's people
>>45068078so where do i order from
>>45068086JUST ORDER FROM AURELIA
stopped for 2 months after a year of hrthow long should i be back on it before starting prog?
>>45068696by pure vibes alone I think id do 2 months if that happened.
>>45056623we cant decide that for youat most we can tell you about the risks and whatnot if you're not aware of them so that you can decide for yourselfwhat is it that "ruins" it about your face?
>>45066328>Getting outed because your doctor is freaking out about your iron or whateverHRT doesnt do much of anything for your iron!the reason why women have a higher iron requirement is that they bleed it out during their period, its not hormonal
>>45055087Ok so if I'm injecting 4mg of estradiol enanthate from a 10ml vial that's 40mg/ml I'm doing 0.1ml per injection, so it should last me 100 injections? That seems like a lot, did I do the math wrong somewhere?
>>45067429not who you're replying to but from what ive heard you shouldn't apply minox for a day or two after microneedling
>>45069852Your math is right but youre gonna lose some estradiol inside the syringe with every dose. If you're injecting weekly 100 doses is 2 years worth and your vial will be gross by then.
>>45070489How often should I replace it then? And why does it have so much if I wouldn't even use the whole thing for monotherapy?
>>45070587Keep your vial clean and you should be able to use it for a long time. Try not to core the vial, wipe it with rubbing alcohol before and after. The issue is bacteria getting inside after you plunge the needle in over and over. Vials have an expiration date for that reason but you can use them until theyre gone. I wouldn't personally use the same vial for over a year but I would if I had to. They're meant for hospitals doing injections typically which is why they come in different strengths. Some have more liquid oil per estradiol (more oil volume) and some have less, yours.
have any of you guys tried purple panda? I keep hearing conflicting shit about it and I'm iffy about just going for symphony cause of what happened and everywhere else is out of stock
can anyone tell me whether bank transfers for diy t can get me in any legal trouble in terfisland and can that get me deported
>>45070856I'd never use a bank transfer for hrt, crypto all the way unfortunately.Probably would only get you deported if you're caucasian.
Are mood swings normal after starting hrt?ive noticed my moods been fluctuating more than usual, feeling more depressed than usual during the 2 days before injectiont. 7 weeks in 4/mg Een weekly
>>45071623you can increase your dosage too or do it every 5 days, if it's only noticeable the 5-7 day mark after injection that may mean your levels aren't high enough
started using patches and they keep peeling off before the next day where im supposed to swap them. :(
why is everywhere out of stock.. i had to fight for my life in the refresh war just to catch a restock. dire state of things
>>45072654managed a couple years worth to last me until i get my goverment hondose
>>45072183get a vial
>>45072183use tape or something
Why would symphony put “10 mL Peppermint Oil” on the usps package for my estrogen.When that shit comes from San Francisco people know it’s drugs.
is serapharma already out of stock they were supposed to restock today
>>45074101ive been reloading the site since i woke up if i actually missed the restock ill be livid
>>45074172their twitter-copy site says 10 am cest and now 6 pm cest so we have one more chance nigga
>>45074186holy fucking shitballs actual godsend news, thank you
i got acne after starting prog and i FEEL like more hair has been falling out in the shower... should i get on duta?estradiol is 1680pmol/L and testosterone is at 1.2nmol/L
>>45071623>>45071756If I do 5mg Een weekly to see how I feel, will that give me osteoporosis or blood clots or something?I haven't gotten any blood tests yet, they're on my to-do list but should I wait until I get those done before adjusting my dose or just see what happens when I do?
serapharma site 41%'d of course
serapharma is completely brickedi think it might be over...
>>45074452its gonebots
>>45074502im actually gonna 41% i am completely fucking out and this was my one chance goodbye sisters
>>45074513just diy orchi or something so you can fend off the honnening.
>>45068838Really I'm just throwing it out there, I'm worried about anything they might pick up like creatine or whatever.
Just a friendly reminder everyone>>45075503
can i inject estradiol ethanate subq? its the mct oil kind>>45075537honestley is it that hard to create a sterile clean room and just pump out vials? cause ill just make a living doing that.
>>45075737yeah and imo een is better subq than im
>>45075825thanks fren
>>45074926theres probably nothing that would change to the point where it gets out of range for males besides the hormones themselvesi wouldnt worry about it so much
>>45074260get off prog for 2 weeks and see if the issue persistsyou might just be stressed and haven't noticed that you're eating a ton of oily food
How do you get your bloods done in Canada? all the clinics require a doctors prescription, which I can’t have because I’m on diy. What do I do?

These Onetouch syringes I got from amazon are way too stiff and difficult to self-inject with, at least for me. Very hard to get to a specific line and annoying to be sure you've fully 100% injected. Today I had a visible droplet of waste after I had been extra sure I had pushed all the way down, just from putting extra muscle on the stopper after pulling it out to check (hard to do from a self-inject angle.) Luckily I do 5mg instead of 4 so an itty bitty bit of waste isn't going to have a noticeable effect on me, but I probably won't buy this brand next time if I can find one that's easier to push from a weird angle.
>>45055087wheres the best place to direct a minor who wants to obtain DIY, preferably educated people who know more about it than i do

if ordered from otokonoko im gonna get that cool femboy box??
how do I buy from otokonoko in EU when coinbase asks me to provide the full name of the receipient what do I even do
>>45080949check that youre sending it to yourself, or send it to a seperate wallet that isnt connected to an exchange and send it via there
>>45080967>check that youre sending it to yourselfI can just do that? Will that really work? it would suck a bit to lose that money
>>45080869pube vials! >.< xP
>>45080993it should work, i think its what voixceleste had in their faq too
>>45080949technically u r sending it to urself before sending it to the seller so pick urself

Has symphony been rug pulled? Site is 502
>>45080808wut?
I know people say otokonoko takes a long time, but how much time are we talking at the longest? I placed an order back in early August and it's still stuck at 'processing'. I was struggling with making sense of bitcoin payment and Lilian helped me make sense of that, but I worry that somehow the delay caused by my confusion led the order to slip through the cracks.
>>45082308To clarify I'm asking because I'm worried that I am the one that fucked something up, not an accusation.
>>45081989the only two places i know people discuss diy hrt are here and the diy reddit, but i feel like this place is in general more useful but people probably shouldnt come here considering the mental illness it can cause
Are the expiration dates on vials actual expiration, or just best before? Mine say to only use for 1 year after opening, but my dosing makes them last a year and a half and it's not caused any issue to keep using them. So I'm thinking the expiration for unopened vials is probably also a conservative recommendation? I'd rather not be wrong and give myself sepsis though
>av still unavailable slowly getting kinda nervous where to order my next vial
the 'mones are going away
Today when I was drawing estradiol from my vial I noticed my needle had a little tiny thread stuck on the side of it, presumably from the alcohol swabs I use to clean the vial lid. Is this vial contaminated now? I'm going to go ahead with my injection today since I don't have a spare vial yet.
>>45084327To clarify, I saw the thread attached to the needle inside of the vial when I was drawing it. Wasn't on the needle when I took it out Went ahead with my injection anyways if I die nobody will mourn me and I will be buried under my deadname YOLO

Hopefully Astrovials won't have trouble shipping with all that's going on in France.
okay so ive been sitting on my vial for about a month now because im nervous to start. how do the blood tests work? where do i get them? will they know what its for when i go to do it?? are they expensive??? im sorry.
>>45089494use goodlabs or privatemdlabs or mito!if u have a referral code from someone, it will make it cheaper! i won't give you bc obvs opsec nuke
>>45089520with that said, you want T (total and free), E2, and maybe LH/FSH
>>45082999If anyone has an answer to this, even from just personal experience, I would be very thankful. I stockpiled more vials than I can use before the expiration and I'm trying to decide what to do with them.
>>45089523>>45089523sorry this is very overwhelming for me. i looked at privatemdlabs and there is a place like right around the corner from where i live so thats neat- but do i just build a "custom panel" with what you suggested i test? and which estradiol test do i pick?? free, ultrasensitive, or just "estradiol"? and i dont see lh/fsh anywhere...
>>45082999i think if you store them like not in the sun or really hot, its probably fine, unless its been like really long
Is Serapharma legit? Supposedly they've been around since 2022, but they only have 1 review on Valerie
>>45089673Have you actually injected from an older vial before? With what I currently have, I'm good into the 2030s, but that seems very long. I'm considering giving some away. I don't want to waste it just because I panic hoarded
>>45089762longer than a year yea, but not like 4 years or anything
>>45089636no worries nona <3basically if you order specific tests a la carte, it becomes cheaper than the pre-made health panels. here is a copy-paste within a community discord: "First search "(Women's / Men's) Hormone Light Test" in the "find your next checkup" bar. Select "build custom panel" and remove everything except your required bloods (i.e. Estradiol and Total Testosterone for estradiol monotherapy, or Total Testosterone and FBC for testosterone hrt) and proceed to checkout.Signing up with a referral link will grant you a set of 25$ credits. Upon checkout you can apply one 25$ credit to reduce your costs even further."privatemdlabs is not partnered with many draw places, so you might want to compare prices to other labs so you can avoid the draw fee!
>>45090022you can avoid lh/fsh the first time around and only get that test if it turns out your T isn't getting nuked
>>45059199hi kalista

Does anybody know if boiremovallabs dot com is legit/reputable?Looking for a supplier so i can get an extra vial while calyx is down
>>45090962its legit but wouldnt order from them, this shit shouldnt be rewarded. same with pawsnax
>>45091723yeah im only considering it because calyx is down right now the name in itself is ropefuel
>>45090802aren't regular pill bottles also made out of plastic?
>>450924503d printer plastic isn't food grade (more chipping risk!) but yeah, that's bad too!
it is funny how oil companies convinced people plastic is safe and cheaper than natural materials. it's actually rather intensive to manufacture and to dispose of. were the environmental costs to be factored in, we as a society would realize that traditional materials are actually much less costly
Does anyone have the photo of the OTK pharma box that had infowars branding on it? Same holographic box but it was inforwars supplements for estrogen. Not the loli shit. The original photo seems to have been wiped from the internet.>>45092745There are multiple types of printing filaments which can be food safe.......
>>45092865Same with vegetable oils.
>>45070885the place im buying it from doesn't offer crypto payments and also I've got no clue how to set ts up anyway, am i cooked
>>45090022thank u thank u! where would i find the draw fee?? or mention of it? i'm a bit more confused now x.x i just thought the blood draw was a normally included part of this. i dont see a mention of it anywhere on the checkout screen. i dont mind it for the sake of ease though, the blood testing part has been a major stone wall in all of this for me..
