nothings happened yet wtf! where’s my instantaneous magical girl transformation?
seriously tho, i expected some mental change based on how ppl describe the euphoria of being on E, but ig that takes time just like the physical changes.
i can wait tho, i was so indescribably happy last night after injecting. i was tearing up and cuddling with my gf and had amazing sleep. it feels like a new chapter of my life that im more optimistic and joyful for than ive ever been! been waiting almost two years for this moment 🥹
thank you hexbear! i dont know how much longer it would have taken for me to discover my transness if i wasn’t a part of the site with the best trans community on the internet!
and im moving to a medium sized city in a month so ill be in a good place to transition compared to the rural area where i live
i am DIY and made four vials a couple weeks ago. then yesterday i sterilized them at 130C for 30 minutes, pretty easy in oil if you have a digital probe thermometer (i think ppl call them candy thermometers).
my regimen is 11 mg estradiol enanthate stabbed into my butt every 14 days. im planning on getting a blood test in 3 months and adjusting. p sure ill have to up the dose bc im 6’ and 200 lbs. prob gonna try to add progesterone in 6 months to a year even tho the studies on that haven’t been too promising in it helping transfems. prog can actually be pretty cheap if you DIY and mix a powder with coconut/cocoa oil and take it rectally.
11mg EEn every 14 days is a hell of a dose. I take 3mg every 7 days and am at around 200 pg/ml E2.
the half life of EEn is 6-7 days. this calculator shows ur dose giving a trough of 170 pg/mL and peak of 190 pg/mL so i assume it’s a decently accurate calc. when i plug in my dose it shows a trough of 210 and a peak of 430. this is high but im trying to suppress my T with monotherapy. once my T is low ill lower my dose to give me E2 of 150-320 (prob 8 mg). thanks for looking out for me! ill be keeping up with bloodwork
Hell yeah, comrade!
fuckin congrats! Anticistamines are the best!
Really is probably the best community for trans people on the internet. Bonus points if you’re a Marxist too. I’m not trans myself, but they are my friends and I love my friends.
