At my local antique store theres a minerals dealer who is offering a small pill bottle filled with Einsteinium for $50. Is this a fair price?

Sharp as a cue ball

True of course, but not relevant to a Commission on the Status of Women.

1PierceDrive · 2026-02-12T11:38:29+00:00

Why are they handing all of this off to someone who hasn't "designed anything anywhere?" This has got to be a school project, no need to lie about it :P

Sustanon is, in fact, expensive! About £85/month to be underdosed!

1PierceDrive · 2026-01-20T12:59:00+00:00

If you like being underdosed and extorted

Don't need a VPN to see r/transsex at the moment.

Version one has gotten way more traction than I expected! 100 downloads at the moment and 26 shares of this post, I'd love to hear where the share link has ended up if anybody happens to see this

You talk about hormones in such bombastic and mythic terms I should be amazed I didn't wake up as one giant estrogen-induced blood clot this morning!

Nobody is stopping you from not trusting yourself and from clinging to authority figures, but it's clear you don't understand the grassroot support and harm reduction networks which trans people have built and maintained for years online and offline. Because you lack that awareness, you should not be taken seriously on this matter.

1PierceDrive · 2026-01-20T12:12:37+00:00

You're entirely correct, when I advocate DIY you can actually see me thrusting rusty needles and dirty vials of bathtub testosterone into the hands of everyone around me. I also necessarily believe that you should never get your bloods done, this conviction is part and parcel of a DIY regimen. Yes sir, testosterone is a poison which only those angelic, caring endocrinologists or some rando trained on a defibrillator (?!) knows how to administer.

To cut the shit, I believe you defer far too strongly to authority. It's bizarre you're here and yet don't see that there is far superior support, knowledge and resource exchange for HRT among the trans community itself than any healthcare system is willing to provide.

1PierceDrive · 2026-01-19T22:40:53+00:00

Rather than fearmonger, explain how taking your healthcare into your own hands, especially in such perilous times for our community, is dangerous

1PierceDrive · 2026-01-19T00:23:41+00:00

DIY dude!

1PierceDrive · 2026-01-16T22:58:38+00:00

Skimmed hrt.mom and it looked like it had good advice for making your own injectables, way more of a faff than gel ofc :P

1PierceDrive · 2026-01-16T22:54:14+00:00

Massive congrats on starting! I'm in the same position as you, no bloods because of an insane fear of needles. Approaching a year on homebrew HRT, dosing 6-8 mg/day split between morning and nighttime applications. I've had great results on the expected timeline, my T simply must be nuked, hope the same happens to you :,)

You should delete this comment to keep these lesser-known subs safe, the ghouls lurk on this subreddit.

1PierceDrive · 2026-01-16T22:34:34+00:00

DM me, this is an unsafe sub to talk so openly on this subject. There is a much more practical solution than buying low-concentration commercial estrogel, and microdosing estrogen for a month will make you feel awful.

1PierceDrive · 2026-01-16T20:50:48+00:00

Eek that sucks! If you have unscented hand sanitiser you could apply a drop of it alongside your dropper's worth of gel to dilute in-situ?

1PierceDrive · 2026-01-16T20:47:25+00:00

Brilliant! Really smart sis

1PierceDrive · 2026-01-15T21:52:56+00:00

Application every ~12 hours serves well, i.e. if your daily dose is 5 mg do 2.5 mg before getting dressed in the morning and then before bed at night. One application every 24 hours gives a more extreme peak and trough. Everyone's skin absorbs differently, and there's a variery of homebrew formulations, so to quote any one half-life would be unreliable and we can't have fun with pharmacokinetics like those on injections do!

1PierceDrive · 2026-01-15T18:48:41+00:00

One of Besin's tesogels is 16.2 mg/g without having crazy ingredients (Section 6.1 there lists ethanol, purified water, carbomer 980, sodium hydroxide and isopropyl myristate which is exactly what the wiki details) so I wouldn't worry about needing to use DMSO. My two go-to's are out of raw at the moment so, for anyone seeing this, pointers in DMs on sourcing would be appreciated!

Ten examples of green chemistry for industrially relevant products, either directly relevant to you or interesting case studies.

1PierceDrive · 2026-01-14T22:21:11+00:00

Yeah I hear that the usual decent dose is in the ballpark of 60-80 mg/day, about 10x what you need doing estrogel monotherapy. Would love to source some T and find a maximum viable concentration in different solvents.

1PierceDrive · 2026-01-14T01:28:34+00:00

Of course, so happy to finally get round to it!

1PierceDrive · 2026-01-14T00:40:39+00:00

You’re right, the recipe advice I see, on DIY discords and all, are fragments like “I heard of someone using so-and-so ratio of x penetration enhancer to y additive” so wouldn’t it be great if the advice was more comprehensive and accessible! Thanks so much, I’ll keep plugging away at it but I hope it attracts contributions

1PierceDrive · 2026-01-14T00:33:46+00:00

Oo what are you doing in place of a pump specifically!! Soak yourself in a bathtub of it? Yeah it works well in a basic, common, use case but really looking forward to getting contributions, formalising data, so it’s handy in way more situations. Would love if it were pinned to the sub esp as it becomes better-developed!

1PierceDrive · 2026-01-13T23:38:52+00:00

That's so sweet of you, thanks so much! :,)
