Hello again! It depends on how concentrated the ester is
Most homebrew vials are 40mg/ml which means 4mg is conveniently 0.1ml! (4 divided by 40, as in 4mg divided by 40mg/ml)
You can double check for sanity here: https://transfemscience.org/misc/injectable-dose-vol-conc-conv/ that always gives me peace of mind
Fuck cars? 🏎
No matter what you figure out about yourself, be it that you're cis, gender non-conforming, trans, or something else entirely it's all valid as fuck. Even if you take baby steps exploring who you are or you change your mind later on, it's still valid.
There's no need to apologize. This space exists for you and sometimes people need to vent or crash out a bit.
I don't know the details of your situation but I would like to echo what jessica is saying, but I understand that sometimes economically and logistically it is difficult to get away from our abusers :(
wildly off topic so im censoring

but a friend on blåhaj lemmy recently started a kinky leatherworking community. dunno if that's the sort of leatherworking do, but might be interesting to you nonetheless
Really? Maybe you're in a country where catbox is DNS blocked
I've not seen them available on the sites I've looked at but my understanding is it's fairly common in latin america as a form of birth control for cis women. The prog might not be bioidentical in the injections, but even then the side effects shouldn't be paralysis.
No. It's a very common injection in some parts of the world. Bioidentical prog and e won't paralyze anyone
Dang, I only got regexed
Hello! I keep a comprehensive list of resources on DIY here: https://lem.lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/19393848
This includes guides on HRT that describe dosages for gel with and without a blocker. Since you only have gel there are some things to know. Gel may or may not be sufficient to block testosterone and you will need a higher dosage than normal. You might have to apply the gel to your scrotum to get more out of the gel, but this can give you a big spike in E which can be uncomfortable for some. Your gel might be an ideal strength for this usage actually.
I urge you to read this guide at the very least: https://diyhrt.info/ and then read these articles:
- Scrotal application: https://transfemscience.org/articles/genital-e2-application/
- Nice table for dosage, you will want high to very high to suppress T with no blocker : https://transfemscience.org/articles/e2-equivalent-doses/
Some tips for gel:
- Dont get gel on other people or animals. Especially not on children or animals.
- Wash the area you apply to beforehand.
Edit: As someone mentioned you have a rather limited supply, so while this is a neat little test it will only achieve so much. In any case, this is a great opportunity to read up on and experience HRT. After reading about what specifically HRT does I was fairly certain it was for me, but to finally remove all doubt I realized I needed to try it, so thats what I did. I can say in my case I did not regret it. However you end up feeling about HRT I wish you the best of luck :3
We will be here if you need any assistance or support <3
I'm happy for you!
Please read up on HRT so that you have an understanding of what you should be prescribed and how much. It's good to be informed. Also, if you ever feel like the wait time for HRT is too long then know that we've got you.
just don't buy any official harry potter stuff like books or movies or merch. she uses the money to directly fund anti trans lobbying
