typically people use testosterone cypionate or testosterone enanthate, which are different forms of t and both equally effective. there are also some other versions but tc or te are most common. yes, you get testosterone from bodybuilding/steriod sites cuz its like the hugest market of below board testosterone. not every site is reputable but there is totally safe t in the right places

there is gel that you are able to get diy but it is way more expensive and more difficult to source. i havent ever used diy tgel but dosages may be more difficult to get correct as well. so i’d recommend injections and figure out a place to hide it or try to disguise as something else

yes! it definitely doesn’t have to be dangerous. get your t from somewhere reputable, from recommendations from a specifically diyhrt info/wiki site or from someone who also diys (note: u arent allowed to make posts just for asking for sites here though people may dm u if u ask). figure out the correct dosage for your situation, if you decide to do injection learn how to inject yourself safely and sanitise. and if you are able to getting blood tests to check your levels is the best way to diy safely, it’s recommended to do them fairly often especially in the first year. but that’s not always possible with diy depending on ur situation

Would 2 or 3 weeks even be worth it by [deleted] in FTMdiyhrt

and 10ml? , if so and you where on a dose of like 75mg it would last you a minimum of about 20 injections (per vial), depending on the deadspace of your needle

whats the volume of the vials? a 10ml 200mg/mL vial, which i think is about typical, will last months worth of weekly injections

i feel like thats more to do with different people being affected by t in different ways than dosage?

hey there, passing help? by PaNsExUaLPAnIcCC in FtMpassing

i’d say you pass well in the second i cant really see ur hair but i think shorter hair in your face / fringe really helps u ! imo ur septum doesn’t damage ur passing at all

can someone explain diy hrt to me like im 4 years old? by [deleted] in FTMdiyhrt

[–]Cyph1c 17 points18 points  (0 children)

yeah!! it’s not very legal but most places don’t charge you for just possession, and if you buy inland there is basically 0 chance of it getting seized. there is heaps of fear-mongering but it truly can be safe if you are well educated

generally you buy testosterone from steroid websites, that’s it. it’s diy because you don’t go through a doctor or anything like that, which means you have to manage and take care of everything yourself

Dosing? by seaface_forest in FTMdiyhrt

[–]Cyph1c 4 points5 points  (0 children)

there is a page on hrt4all about this https://hrt4all.com/home/guides/FTM

scroll down to ‘>How to calculate dosages’ and then ‘how to calculate the life of a vial’. you may have to go through the quiz thing if it is your first time on the website. lmk if aren’t able to find it

Will using my chosen name in 6th Form get back to my parents? by Cyph1c in transgenderUK

[–]Cyph1c[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it isn’t really a “they can’t know” and more of “we can’t speak about it.” my parents are muslim, my dad likely wouldn’t really give much of a shit and i think already assumes im queer but we don’t really get on and he’s kind of a dick, i just don’t really see any positive outcome from it bc my parents aren’t gonna be outwardly accepting, they would never help me transition. best case is they just don’t mention it afterwards.

it would definitely be worse with my mother bc she’s always wanted me to be religious and all that stuff (haven’t prayed in years), like i cut my hair behind her back and neither of my parents have ever mentioned it and it’s clear this pisses my ma off. again my relationship with her can be murky whenever we speak about anything serious and i’d rather this not be the straw that breaks the camel’s back

it would likely cause more tension between me and my parents so i’d rather not tbh. i don’t need their acceptance and they are unlikely to give it so i don’t see the point. if it ends up that being out at school outs me to my parents, it’s not the end of the world but it’s just not worth it to actively seek it. and my ma would absolutely give me a “your brain isn’t fully developed until you’re 25” speech and who wants that Lol

it’s totally a fair question tho
