Has anyone ordered from Otokonoko and had their tracking number stop working? I ordered about a week ago and this tracking number was saying FedEX simply hadn't received the package yet up until today when it started showing this error. Is this something I should worry about or could it clear up once the package actually reaches the U.S.?
>be me, Symphony Labs>never inspect vials before selling>claim that hair in vials was due to "one bad batch",everyone in the community starts replying to anyone complaining about hairy vials with the "one bad batch" explanation and that the issue was already fixed for future batches>tfw current batches still have hair>claim that loose vial caps that fall off was due to manual crimping>still have loose vial caps one month later>self advertise on wikipedia by putting my vial picture on the estradiol enanthate page>put photos of my lab on the wiki page for DIY HRT>join the transdiy discord and brag about opsec sensitive business practices>somehow the mods are ok with this>hire a new shipper even though she lives with her chud parents>packing 50 orders a day in her living room after her family sleeps>chud parents find out and kick her out>not my fault>hire a new shipper to clear backlog>new shipper shits herself and creates a 4 week backlog>claim customers are lying to people about a 4 week backlog>claim customers are lying to people about taking preorders>its the customer's fault for lying about our practice>get exposed that all uk domestic orders were preorders, have to offer refunds for anyone who ordered from the uk>left uk customers waiting over a month before admitting that i let preorders pile up for vials that weren't in the uk warehouse yet>customer data leak exploit was brought to my attention in May>lie about fixing it>tfw customer data was leaked 2 months later because i never fixed the api exploit after someone already notified me>somehow this is everyone else's fault for being mad that i didn't fix the exploit for 2 months>somehow the entire community still has my back because im so good at community outreach and PR>make 20k in earnings every month>everyone still treats me like a small time brewer doing it out of the goodness of my heart>now have 8 week backlog>still taking preorders>tracking still broken>still winning?>tfw
>>45218189>for over a year, constant reports of fibers in my vials>“dood it’s just filter fibers” excuse every single time>never once modify my procedure to prevent filter fiber contamination>“dood i just didn’t wash the vials my supplier sent”>a year of reports about fibers and it’s always the filter or the vial supplier getting blamed instead of actually changing the brewing process>somehow this is supposed to be acceptable>never even consider the obvious solution of using a secondary sintered glass filter to catch stray fibers>average symphony business decision
>>45218189Works on my machine
>decide i'll switch to diy EEn after years on prescription EV>get my first vial>it's in MCT (whereas my old EV was always in castor oil)>apparently i am allergic to MCT>now i'm getting rashes and shitdoes anyone reliably have their stuff available in castor oil or am i fucked
>>45218588It's because you're doing subQ. If you start doing IM you won't get the rashes anymore. Many such cases.
I’ve been on hrtbefore (6 months in 2024) but stopped because my mental health wasn’t ready for transitioning. I’ve just started again, using the same 6mg dose of Een, and am not feeling the same changes. I'm almost a month in and still get frequent nightly erections and haven’t got the same tenderness in my breasts. On my previous stint with hrt the loss of erections and breast tenderness were present after only a week?Is this something to worry about? I am using a vial from hera, and heard there was an issue with concentration a few months ago?
>>45217602Hormones don’t “turn male cells female.” XY cells stay XY. You’re just flooding the system with estrogen and blocking T, so you get fat redistribution, micro man boobs (70% remain less than an A-cup), and softer skin. The skeleton, the chromosomes, the reproductive system. None of that changes. You’re still a male.
>>45218691is that so? would i just need longer needles or does the switch to IM necessitate some changeup in technique as well?
>>45218727ya that's what the trans part means DUMBASS
>>45218762don't interact with the bait
>take three doses of e a day sublingual>two doses of spiro>keep missing last doses of both because i always fall asleep before im supposed to take my last doseim getting on injections soon so i dont have to deal with this but what do i do in the meantime if i miss a dose like this? this has happened like three times in the past week.
>>45218743Mine are half-inch insulin needles. If you're not fat they'll have no problem going into the side of your thigh (vastus lateralis). Just stick 'em in at 90 degrees and you won't get the itchy red lumps anymore
>>45218849ty anon. i'll order some new needles i guess
>>45218863What kind do you have? Half inch is really short and they work fine for IM
>>45218876is 1/2 fine for im? i thought they had to be longer to penetrate deeper or whatever. the ones i have rn are 27g x 1/2 inch so if that is long enough i guess i'll try with these for my next injection lol
>>45218892Yeah try it Nona. If you're normal/skinny there's zero fat at that site but even if you're fat the oil will still go in, it just won't reach the muscle and it'll be the same as subQ in your tummy, there's no negative to trying it. I'd be terrified to stick an inch-long needle in my leg in case I hit bone lol so 1/2 inch works great for me
>>45218916yeah i see. that's what i'll do, then. thanks again!
so how safe exactly is bathtub hrt? no health risks afaik? like it's mostly chemically all there and the risk isn't that high of contaminations but like there still is that risk there right?
>>45217602Would anyone like to pay for my HRT( I was forced to post this don't yell at me :< )
>>45219870There are groups that anonymously buy from homebrewers and lab test their product. Don't buy it from strangers, just buy the stuff that's been independently lab tested and found to be safe.
>>45218080Update: It fixed itself
tried to get appointment with an actual doctor but I literally stopped the appointment midway through it felt like I was being interrogated and I just felt very overwhelmed and anxious. guess I'm sticking with bathtub hrt.
>>45220109what makes you unable to?
>>45218588Lena EEn is castor
>>45221189Doctors can be total gatekeeping dicks. Pharma hrt is like gel, pills, or 20mg/ml valerate at most, and even then only if the great and wise doctor decides that you're worthy enough to receive it. Homebrew is way better.
>>45222468idk just haven't been able to land a job in a while and my household sucks ass
bump
>>45217602How long does a dude need to take estrogen to get a dump truck of an ass and nice thighs? I just want to be able to switch between looking like a dude and looking like a chick lol
>>45225022Drop your expectations by a lot.
>>45217602Does anyone know what the beef is between valerie and aurelia?
I wish I wasn't such a hon
