I know it's a dumb question and I should know this by now but it's been a while 😔

I ordered this 400mg one from Symphony Labs:

Estradiol Enanthate (10 mL × 40 mg/mL)

I was planning to use this for a long time by injecting 4mg weekly with 30G insulin syringes but someone here told me it is recommended to trash it after 6 months.

Anyone used until the vial is empty like 2 years?

I'm already on Estradiol monotherapy with sublingual pills. My new dealer wanted to start me on 3mg of Estradiol Cypionate per week. I asked instead for 4mg/week of Estradiol Cypionate which accepted. But per https://transfemscience.org/articles/transfem-intro/ it looks like I should have asked for 5mg of Cypionate weekly to start, and fine tune from there.

Has anybody had success for monotherapy on 4mg/week? The calculators on the website show a mid-slope of 225 pg/mL. For 5mg/week it's 275 pg/mL.

Half joking half serious.

We are in war with %99 of this world. They will vote far-right without thinking twice. They don't care about us.

We all must be mining Monero, and sending them to Trans Rescue, and to buy DIY HRT for trans people who need them.

We have DIY HRT which gave us affordable and higher quality HRT than what cissoids gave us.

We even got DIY electrolysis recently.

We even got DIY orchiectomy.

Why don't we have trans plastic surgeons? We need DIY FFS.

Why don't we have trans ENT surgeons? We need DIY VFS.

We just found out how scammy official healthcare is, can you imagine what can we found with FFS/VFS stuff?

Mexico has surgeons who give better results than westoids for lower price for example.

Also keep that in mind, going stealth and distancing yourself from other trans people is selfish. I will keep helping other trans people even if I pass as cis. I remember how lonely I was when I first found out I'm trans, and there was almost nobody online/IRL to tell me what to do. I had to find out everything by myself by dig deeping for months/years.

If you don't help other trans people, nobody else will.

Imagine leaving new trans people stupid reddit communities as only option...

i think is pretty yummy for dumb ELISA lab(inaccurate at low concentrations) method and progesterone

edit: its 14.37 ng/dL(fck units)

Unrelated to being trans but I thought I'm lonely because I'm trans (can be a factor why not?) but I realized once the high school is over and I moved to a different country, being lonely is normal.

Even during school's summer holidays, I was lonely until school reopens.

Your only real friends are your pets. Thanks capitalism.

Having a pet is a luxury BTW considering everyone is living in poverty even if you have a job LMFAO.

I have borderline and I gave up from dating for my mental health so having a partner is even not an option for me. Dating pool is garbage too like it's either chasers who see you as a femboy/sextoy or simply eggs who don't know they're attracted to the idea of "man turning into a woman" instead of really loving you. Then they realize they're trans then bOOm.

Pffffff... I wish I was a cis woman... :/

Posted a while ago regarding possibilities of starting HRT with the gel I got my hands on. Decided to try it for 3-4 weeks to see how I'd feel or if I'd even feel anything at all. Im doing this via scrotum application since that seemed to have the highest chance of giving any effect during this time period.

I've been on it for a week now and have been trying to tell myself that how unreasonably good Ive felt this week is not necessarily due to HRT. However the last two days my nipples have been oddly sore. Not in the way Ive experienced before.

I understand nipple soreness is normal when breast growth occurs but it seems very early. Not that it is entirely unheard of as I understand. Has anyone here experienced this kind of soreness this early or am I just going crazy?

I am aware of their conservative government but I hear mixed things about their society.

Some say they're even more conservative than the USA, and some say they're kinda open minded and just vote conservative for the gas/petrol.

I'm 22, and I got my orchiectomy (they may restrict HRT so yeah). I just wondered how is living in Edmonton/Calgary, and visiting other places in the province?

Many people asked me if I was Russian in Canada so I can say that I have a white privilege?

I won't move there but I really wonder as it's the richest province (GDP per capita).

I never considered myself trans back in Türkiye because on media, we only saw non-passing ones or hyperfem ones.

Bülent Ersoy, Gaga Bulut, crossdressers being shown as trans women on TV series, and the one I saw in my city (they transitioned at age 30+ and I clocked her when I was a kid even though I didn't know much about trans stuff back then)

I just wanted to be like a cis girl with female voice and appearance, and I thought this is impossible. I also searched online but due lack of my English back at age 15, I couldn't find anything and I had to give up. I had a sui attempt, and after recovery I got traumatized and I promised myself to just ignore all of my issues.

I stopped studying, I stopped everything that I cared about, just watched TV shows (16-18 was covid), was planning to join French foreign legion so I did gymmaxxing, my social anxiety and everything got worse but I was repping so hard, I was even copying and pasting other men's behaviours to myself to prevent being seen as fem. I was idolising some men I liked. It made me miserable asf.

(French Foreign Legion is extremely conservative, anti-science, and strictly anti-LGBT.)

If I didn't move to Canada, and talked to a trans woman online, I would be dead due "depression".

I repped with sertraline until age 18, and I thought it was just "OCD"... Erdoğan fucked my body and life and now I'm the one who has to pay for the damage?!

My family is shit. They're also the reason why I transitioned too late. I kinda knew they were assholes since my childhood but after realizing trans, and seeing their reactions, I took what I saw on raisedbynarcs subreddit more seriously and I wish I realized gaslighting earlier too...

They were violent, humiliating, bullying, swearing, making fun of me, neglecting, extremely controlling, threatening, narcissistic, bigoted, EXTREMELY ignorant, and never taught me anything to become an independent person as they wanted to keep controlling me forever.

Now I'm stuck with them for a while until paperwork is done but sometimes I can't stand them anymore. Most shelters in Toronto are extremely disgusting and dangerous. I'm unemployed with zero skills.

I don't want to apply college with my deadname so I have to wait until the docs but it's depressing.

I will also apply for ODSP soon but I'm so depressed. There isn't even 1 good thing in my life...

I miss 2022 when I was hopeful for this country and had dreams...

Stupid me

I'm 22, and I want my sharp nose from age 13-14 back. I can't afford anything now, trvke but I at least want to have a realistic goal.

I need:

1. Aggressive full forehead reduction
2. Sharp nose
3. Lip lift
4. Chin feminization (but I have a recessed jawline so IDK wtf I'm gonna do for that :(, will be complicated and expensive and makes me wanna die)

Any recommendations? Canada is simply sCamada, USA is just a larger version of Anatolia already, getting a FFS in Mexico sounds like a dark humour, and Argentina has good surgeons from what I heard.

Websites like realself can be helpful I know but I just want to know and hear from the experience.

I want to look sharp and elegant again. Make Sidal sharp and elegant again!

I'm looking like an Indian Ringneck parrot :(

Thanks. <3

how to actually possible archive """stable""" levels, sublingual pills? idk they more expensive, i hate estrogel pump dosator, some bottles are worse, and fck eyeballing is worst........., does by eyeballing, less than 0.75 one pump is okay? idk

if i had high enough levels on one pump morning, up to next morning, fck kill those who put hormones into pump dosators, okay but one pump morning was insane spikes and it didnt give me good suppression and i got lg like 2.20, despire being on prog i dont wanna risk more so eyeballing half-pumps better

dumb nurse didnt put effort to find vein in my right hand, but instead took from left where i apply estrogel(yeah is faking result too)
also me dumbass, saved money for fact-check SHBG

fckkkk the estradiol is faked probably in my new bloodwork, but lh is zero, t is 0.9 nmol

I'm living in Canada but I just wondered if we have anyone from Türkiye?

If so, how is life there? I know economy and everything got worse but I just wondered if there is hope for Erdoğan-free Türkiye with EU membership?

I moved to Canada at age 18, and I realized I'm trans here (fuck me sideways for not doing any research until moving to Canada like I could do something at age 15...) and I started HRT at age 18,5. I'm 22 now, and I don't really see a future in Canada for myself.

Rents are crazy, no jobs anywhere, here is not really accepting imo anyways like not dystopia, and FFS costs 124k CAD like what the fuck?! I would rather get it in Türkiye.

I barely passed B2 English in Türkiye, and English is harder than I expected. I got accepted to a college but it was hard asf and I left. Education is really overrated like it's not better than Türkiye imo. Everyone is so cold and fake here. I wish I figured out everything earlier but idk which option would be best for me.

I'm feeling hopeless and down...

I hated the trans community on Reddit like probably you folks also hated them like:

"OMG DIY HRT IS DANGEROUS STAY AWAY!"

"ARE YOU GETTING ADVICE FROM STRANGERS INSTEAD OF YOUR DOCTOR?!"

"ARE YOU GETTING ADVICE FROM WIKIPEDIA? SERIOUSLY?"

"I TRUST WPATH."

But after lurking here I found out that we folks think the same, and I think I can stop lurking depressing spaces like 4tran and 4chan since you folks are realistic.

4tran is like:

"GET ALL THE SURGERIES DOESN'T MATTER IF THEY'RE EXPERIMENTAL, OR WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE. GET VAGINOPLASTY GO STEALTH!"

Like wtf? Orchiectomy was even depressing for me, not everyone is strong.

I was depressed like "damn isn't there any common sense community out there?!"

Reading posts like this on a local trans community hurts so bad :(

https://www.reddit.com/r/transontario/comments/1uzz3bp/just_found_out_my_doctors_been_under_dosing_my/

Comments are even worse.

I ordered EEn which will last for 2 years for $97 CAD including delivery. I got injection supplies for FREE in this province too!

And... This woman will pay $50 for only shitty valerate every month and she will pay extra for needles and shit too.

They're also anti-DIY like wtf is wrong with these people? They ruin each other's lives...

We should groom them into switching to Lemmy or something. That person could be you too! Not everyone was born to be a nerd.

Let's say I joined Canadian military, or something.

Is it safe to say "I use EEn which I ordered online."?

It's not even illegal so why to hide?

But OTOH in case of deployment they would only source meds from their own official federal sources which means I would end up with shitty valerate.

Switching from .8ml of cypionate once a week and wondering what the equivalent dose in enanthate is?

Is it safe?

I know estradiol pills fuck liver so I can fix this problem by switching to injections but I wonder if this is the case with progesterone?

I can't do the buffing stuff every night, sorry lol.

I was busy all day and missed the excitement! This selfie is a little old, but it'll do for short notice. I hope I am still allowed to post a selfie even though it's after midnight here 😜

i realize this might be a controversial question. i just had this experience a few weeks ago watching a random youtube video and it keeps popping into my head. im not going to link it or even describe the content because i really dont want to be perceived as even tangentially shaming anyone. i was watching this video and at a certain point i just couldn't continue watching because a man in the video was giving me serious gender dysphoria.

its hard to tell what exactly was even making me feel that way. i think it was maybe the clothes he was wearing and just his overall presentation reminded me of when i was an egg doing my best impersonation of a man but feeling so incredibly horrible the whole time. ive never really felt that way about someone before but it kinda makes sense as like the opposite of gender envy maybe?

idk maybe this wont make sense to anyone. curious about peoples thoughts.

I've been having fun with simple eye makeup like this since doing it right always ends up making me not want to do it. Lol.

And yeah, my nose is always a bit red, but my sunscreen had partially failed me the day before, so it's extra red.

posting this instead of using it right now lol. making progress but its hard to get myself to sit down and do it.

woke up but went back to sleep again. so sleepy,,..., :P

feel like I've been posting a lot more recently... the HRT is just really, really sculpting me and I love it :3 (heehherehe I gotta big butt now... a little shy to post an angle like that so it stays private... tho maybe... >/////<)

I have taken so many photos of myself huhrhhehehhrhhhh Ilovmeyselfsomuch eevrery angle is perfect.,..
