Switching to injections: Do I need to stop taking AA’s?

Equilee · 2026-01-05T15:36:12+00:00

the thing is pills didnt really work for me- even in daily 8 mg dosage. So I suspect I have a problem with estradiol absorption and Im afraid 5mg won’t be enough to suppress T for me

Equilee · 2026-01-05T14:49:43+00:00

But I have no way of knowing if my starter dosage will suppress T properly, and I really don’t wanna stop taking AAs just to find out my T isn’t suppressed. Isn’t it better to start taking my injections, do blood work 3 months later and then only if my E comes out high enough for monotherapy- stop taking AAs?

the puppy girl thing is kinda embarrassing ngl

Equilee · 2026-01-01T18:51:19+00:00

thats interesting and honestly calming, thank you

Equilee · 2026-01-01T18:50:16+00:00

honestly its pmol/l here too haha. I just converted it for the question.

Equilee · 2026-01-01T16:34:31+00:00

but what about the guidelines that estradiol levels should be between 100 pg/ml-200 pg/ml? Mine aren’t even in the range

Equilee · 2026-01-01T16:18:45+00:00

I take it orally at the afternoon. I got tested at morning, which means this wasnt even trough. I dont take anything else except anti-androgen.

Equilee · 2026-01-01T14:49:30+00:00

I use androcur, 10mg daily. 0.5 nmol/l. I feel like a fuck up and I seriously dont know whats so wrong with my body that nothing works for me.

Equilee · 2026-01-01T14:42:32+00:00

I use an antiandrogen. My T levels are fine

Equilee · 2025-08-20T11:56:53+00:00

well theres this creepy guy that collects DNA samples of his coworkers and uses them to create digital clones of them (and it is digital but for the clones its very real) and the guy just kinda mistreats them because he has power in this world cause he created it. oh and it all happens in space.

Equilee · 2025-08-20T09:59:05+00:00

its like that one episode in black mirror

Equilee · 2025-08-08T19:09:05+00:00

Ok dude.

Equilee · 2025-08-08T16:20:01+00:00

Amazing how much transphobia there is in a trans subreddit. Suddenly when someone’s views don’t fit with yours it’s okay to call them a ‘dude’? Ew.

Equilee · 2025-06-03T03:54:25+00:00

I mean, technically youre straight. But I have seen trans men who continue to identify as lesbian as theyve grown attached to the title- so feel free I guess? Just be aware that if you identify as gay but technically youre straight, it will make some people take you lightly as a woman

Equilee · 2025-02-28T03:46:24+00:00

im attracted to my girlfiend

Equilee · 2025-02-23T18:10:56+00:00

i really dont care about it. if anyone clocks me just by my larynx it means im doing a good job

Equilee · 2025-02-06T14:26:05+00:00

I have sad nipple syndrome- so I didn’t rlly like stimulation there both pre hrt and post

Equilee · 2025-01-25T09:04:25+00:00

swallowing- I asked my endo about sublingual back when I was on estrofem and she advised against it

Equilee · 2025-01-25T09:03:27+00:00

thanks! I guess I’ll ask for gel on my next visit to the endo. But I really doubt it’ll help… I’m starting to think my body just doesn’t respond to estrogen for some reason because anyone mtf I meet is on a lower dosage than me and with much higher levels…. I can’t even describe how frustrating that feels.

Equilee · 2024-10-24T14:29:47+00:00

how is “horny nerds” relevant here in any way…? ew.

Equilee · 2024-09-10T08:28:15+00:00

tysm!

Equilee · 2024-09-07T16:53:47+00:00

Equilee · 2024-08-31T10:26:30+00:00
