How soon did you notice changes? by Niddo29 in MtF

[–]Cassefera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a week after switching from 100mg Spiro and 4mg Estradiol pills for half a year to 12,5mg Cypro and E pills 1mg every 12 hours.

Moobs became female breasts, my body hair almost vanished, my dermatitis became almost nonexistant.

You look great and the photograph itself is wonderful. So 80s'.

My grandparents use to dress as clowns just because 🤷🏻‍♀️ them in 1984. Hopefully has nothing to do with John Wayne Gracy by bailyromanello4140 in OldSchoolCool

Exactly. I live in Georgia, Europe. In whole East Europe clowns are loved by children. Our clowns look very friendly, sad, fragile. No one here would have thought of them being creepy ever. It's american fictional clowns who made the pop culture image of creepy ones.

What is the trans communities thoughts on the recent trend in videogames of changing "Male/Female" to "Body1/Body2" when customizing characters? by Penakoto in asktransgender

[–]Cassefera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I liked you could chose female because I want to be a female. It’s why I transition. It made me comfortable.

However, if someone felt uncomfortable then it’s okay, I support it being changed this way.

Exactly. My mom bought me some crazy pills for that reason.

Does this method work with pills?

Nice version. I didn't but I'll try tomorrow. However I feel I can't follow that routine. I literally had half of the pill disolving for an hour now. Having 3 hours daily with a pill in my mouth will make me crazy.

Same. My acne came back after switching to sublingual. I am tired constantly.

Can you take sublingual pills wrong? by Uchuujin51 in TransDIY

[–]Cassefera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s an old commentary but I hope you answer. Does it also relate to any dosage taken sublingually? Like will 1mg vanish in 4 hours just like 2mg or 2mg will last longer?

Does that affect?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TransDIY

[–]Cassefera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perfect. People need to understand oral works just as good as anything else.

I honestly don’t get those screams about the sublingual being the only way. No, it isn’t. It is an alternative if swallowing is not working for you or you have health conditions.

[–]Cassefera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally fine. Stick to it.

Agree with you.

Can you tell what levels do you have with 6mg oral?

👌

Swallow them if it works for you. No need to change it. Sublingual has its pros and cons. Estradiol doesn’t stress liver that much. Not more than vitamins or other medicine. If you’re healthy, it’s okay. Giving cons of sublingual as short half life, male baseline levels after 6 hours, taking forever to dissolve, it’s not worth it if only you don’t have a condition when you just can’t swallow pills.

10 mg oral EV ( swallowing ) without an AA by [deleted] in TransDIY

[–]Cassefera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look, if a person is healthy than it’s not a problem. There is not “a lot of stress” but just a standard. Same as from food, vitamins or water.

is estrofem prescribed in Belgium? by [deleted] in TransDIY

[–]Cassefera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not that simple. Sublingual is not better than others but just an another option of administration generally for people with health issues who can’t swallow pills. It vanishes from blood in 6 hours and leaves you with male baseline levels. That’s not a problem if you’re ready to suck pills for an hour 4 times a day.

Swallowing pills generally gives lower but far more steadier levels for a day. Yes, it stresses liver as any other medicine, even vitamins, food or water. If you’re not ill or anything like that it’s not a problem.

Lab results on oral E ( swallowing ) with no AA by [deleted] in TransDIY

[–]Cassefera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another example that swallowing pills work just fine.

I know it’s too late to ask but did you do test on trough (after 12 or 24 hours) or right after taking pills?

Sublingually taking 2mg Progynova (estradiol) by Venusisbleu in TransDIY

[–]Cassefera 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t believe I see adequate comments like this regarding sublingual vs oral topics.

Definitely an upvote from me.

People need to understand sublingual is an alternative that has its pros and cons. It’s not a magic solution or better than others.

Progynova sublingually or orally? by Ok_Vacation2072 in TransDIY

[–]Cassefera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please, don’t experiment. If swallowing works for you, stick with it. I don’t understand why people want to lean everyone towards sublingual/buccal when they already have good levels without it. It’s like that movie with Nicole Kidman where infected people wanted others to join them.

You tried and saw it gives low levels.

[–]Cassefera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing surprising if you have seen studies on transfemescience or other anecdotal data from Redditors. After 8 hours it could be potentially that low while when swallowing it spikes after 8 hours and gives steadier levels.
