I have no idea what happened, I have months left on my vial but I’m trying not to panix

I started 3 months ago and was doing like 7.2 mg/week (injections) cause I didnt wanna risk poor t suppression. Did I stunt anything or will I be okay? From reading old posts it seems like having too high of a dose early on doesnt really do anything bad but I dunno my levels are a bit high.

What type of needle should I use for EEn with castor oil. I ordered from astrovials so it's 40% benzyl benzoate. Preferably would be fixed needle, but I'm ready do change my mind.

What would be the benefits of a shorter or longer needle. What about thickness. And whats your personal experience?

for about the past month my hair has been hypershedding... for no reason. Not just regular shedding but HyperShedding. Every time I look down... hair! hair! hair! Or when I run my hands through my hair, it always comes out with 1 or 2. It makes me suicidal every time I see a hair and I even had an impulse today after seeing a hair to get a covid vaccine so it would make me die suddenly.

My hair is INCREDIBLY important to me. I take estrogen. My T at the last check was <5 which is well below the female range, so it shouldn't be falling out BUT IT IS... for no reason...

I feel like I have to cut it all off to regain control, but I would rather be dead than bald. I'm worried I'll do something impulsive because of the hyperbad feelings from fornoreason constashedding

Next week we are flying to Japan for a month and I would like to take my estrogel with me, for which I don’t have a prescription.
How can I do that best? I have to declare my ADHD medication at customs and I already have an authorization for that. That means I can’t just go in and practically say that I have nothing to declare and accordingly the question is, how do I get my estrogel in that way?
Will Customs search my remaining luggage when I go there for my ADHD medication? Has anyone experience with it?

(Sorry in advance to the mods if this post sounds stupid or breaks rule 3)

I've tried my best to understand crypto buying and stuff but something will always push me away from it; payment methods, trading, needing crypto as a down payment to buy it for fiat, etc.

Being in the UK doesn't help either considering most of the sites I'm recommend are either limited or blocked without a VPN which I don't want to invest in just in case I get stuck again.

Does anyone have a "Crypto for absolute dummies" guide I can have or if someone could at least explain the steps to me like i'm 5 that would be greatly appreciated!

astriovials says its out of stock- does anyone have any idea how often it restocks?

Anyone who knows where to get the HRT pills? Trying to go with DIY

So I’ve been on 8mg sublingual e (well to be exact, 6mg sublingual e and 2mg buccal e at night) and I’ve heard so many people talking about injections being better, however I haven’t heard any specific reasons. Does anyone have any opinions or information? Has anyone switched from sublingual and seen a difference? Thank you!

Not diy-ing btw but was told yall are smart!

I am using 31 gauge insulin needles and injecting 90 degrees which I think is okay.

I did an injection on the right side of my abdomen and the moved to the left the next time. I don’t want to get scar tissue from keeping it to the abdomen so should I be switching to outer thigh (right then left) and then switching back k abdomen to avoid scarring?

I heard some people only inject into the abdomen, but I’m not sure what’s best.

As far as I’m aware Spiro just blocks T from being used. Just like Bica but in far lesser potency.

Do you know if it actually suppresses its levels too?

So for the past week or so I've been having spontaneous nipple discharge from my right nipple. Never from the left nipple, and it comes at random times during the day. The liquid is completely clear and kind of just feels like water but a bit more sticky i guess. I know my prolactin levels is kinda high at 802 10E-3IU/L. Has anyone else experienced this? is it a prolactin issue or something else? I'm extremely worried about breast cancer. I went to the GP and she tried to feel for lumps and she said she couldn't feel any lumps but that she was very unsure because she's not used to checking trans women.

My dose is 4mg gel per day and 12,5mg androcur every three days. I'm stopping androcur for now to see if that will lower my prolactin levels.

If there's anyone, let's get in touch

I am Mariana and I will start hormone therapy, but I cannot contact a doctor for my safety. I would like some helpful advice on how to do this ❤️

currently, im doing IM injections into my thighs, switching legs and moving down the leg every week. my question is essentially how long until i can inject in the same area again? like when ive gone as far down as im willing to go, can i safely inject back in the area where i did my first injection, near the top of the muscle, after around a month?

hey i ordered a month ago from aurelia and my vials seem stuck at US customs (i am in the eu) since 1 week. is this normal? what are they doing with it while inspecting? possibly opening the vials?

thanks for any info

I bought estradiol valerate from OTK and I got a little messy, got air in the syringe, and as I tried to get the air back into the vial some liquid unfortunately dripped out of the vial (I was holding it upside down)

And it was... Like a perfume? It has a smell, I searched and it apparently is supposed to be odorless? Why does it have a smell lol??? They're reputable so I don't think I got scammed or anything, I'm just wondering lolz (I am asking partially to curb the worry though...)

I live in Istanbul, Turkey. and I tried to use options at valarie but I just couldn't finish Paying (The Website asked me to set up a crypto wallet And the Wallet just refuses to set up I can provide more detail if necessary) I couldn't manage to set up a payment method for some reason I have severe social anxiety I don't know what to do.

I've been putting it off for various reasons including crippling anxiety, and my GP refused to help. So it took 2 years to and an ADHD diagnosis/medication to get it done but I did it and everything came back at ideal levels which is so so relieving. I don't really have anyone to share this win with so I thought I'd put it here.

Shout out to SapphicBison in the UK for the work they do

I did some labs before increasing E from 4 to 6mg sublingual pills.
With 4mg of E (2mg every 12 hours) with 150mg Spiro my T seems to be “less than” 0,09 nmol/L.

Can this be the reason I have constant fatigue? To my understanding this is lower than normal for a woman.

hi, so ive been doing im for a little bit over a year now, starting off with valerate and later on switching over to enanthate, with some minor and major hiccups. ive always found the experience somewhat unpleasant but never to the point of ever discarding a needle and postponing the injection, until very recently. for the last two months each injection has been getting more and more difficult, uncomfortable and just straight up painful. for the past month, i have, without a fail, spent over 20 minutes crying over my leg trying to just do it. often i pull out the needle midway because it gets way too painful or feels like a i hit a vessel. sometimes my leg will tense up or ill feel blood pulsing which will scare me off into pulling the needle out. i dont know if its the scar tissue building up, me genuinely just being dogshit or something else. again i have been doing this for over a year, fucking up every now and then but always actually going through with it, and despite this i genuinely just could not do it tonight.
i have been using 22g needles, which i am aware are not the best but the only other option i have is 23g. i dont know how big of a difference itll make but im not so sure it will entirely fix the issue. im also very hesitant on switching to subq, as ive heard?? it can be even more painful than IM, plus it looks way more easier to fuck up and do something wrong.
i cant do the dart thing with the syringe either. ive always been very slowly pushing the needle into my leg, which is probably the whole reason of why im in so much pain but i just cannot do it faster. i thought i wasnt really scared of needles and i still think im not but my hands shake uncontrollably when i have to do my injection so idk.

has anyone else had this?? any advice? anything?

these fucking injections make me so miserable.

Hey I ordered like 25gr of E powder from them around 6 months ago. I live in South America and I’m not really sure why they sent it to the US first… anyhow, it obviously got seized at US customs and made me lose some money. Terrible experience,
I do not recommend them

Hey. I increased my dose from 6mg EEn Weekly to 7 mg 2 weeks ago. Now I often can't sleep through the night/ wake up every other hour. At 6mg my T was at 25 ng/dl with E at 264 pg/ml and before at 5mg it was T at 33 and E around a similar value(279).

Ive been thinking about if this is a sign to adjust my regimen. Should I lower my dose or wait for my levels to settle a bit longer? I also thought about introducing Prog to my regimen to try and mitigate this. I think my breast development up to now should allow for this though I am not sure which tanner Stage I am in.

Please let me know your thoughts. And thanks in advance.

Looking to start progesterone in the near future and I just wanna know if it's better to stay on Cypro while taking prog or take a different t blocker and prog. If it's the latter, which t blocker should I take instead of cypro?

Hello, I am planning to do DIY (MTF), and to do that I need to buy a vial from another country. I live in Indonesia. I am afraid that the shipping could be intercepted and my package could be seized. What is actually the possibility of that? How to avoid that?

My (crude) plan is to buy Estradiol Undecylate vials from Symphony Labs. They have a stealth option that will mark the vial as Castrol Oil (at least in the website it looks like that). Would that be effective enough?

I am sorry for my lack of knowledge in this topic or if I made a mistake in general. And sorry that my English is not that good. Thank you for your attention ^ ^
