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
