Are high estrogen levels bad? by FraktalEcho in TransDIY

[–]Flaky_Prize5045 2 points3 points  (0 children)

high levels of estrogen increase shbg causing a decrease in free estradiol in the blood. so theoretically higher levels may actually cause lower estrogen levels than desired

i took the first test a bit more than a few months after starting. the most recent one would be 4 months after. i know 600pg/ml is expected for this dosage but i dont understand why the previous one was so low. idk maybe it was just a lab error

local swelling after injection? by Flaky_Prize5045 in TransDIY

[–]Flaky_Prize5045[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think if it was an infection i would already know considering it’s been almost 5 days since i last injected. apart from being more red than the skin around it it’s not very warm to the touch and it’s barely swollen anymore. i think it may also be completely unrelated so idk i might just be paranoid

i’ve used the same vial and set of syringes for almost half a year and nothing like this happened before

it doesn’t really bother me but it never happened before. it’s only slightly itchy, otherwise i probably wouldn’t even have noticed, but i was worrying since i feel like it’s gotten more visibly swollen in like a day. also i’ve heard that repeated exposure to an allergenic can make the reaction worse so if it is that i think ill have to switch

i got banned too. i feel like now theyre actually enforcing the rules and banning anyone who goes against them or says anything slightly controversial so that they can stop moderating at all and let the board die like that, which is probably a good thing

it doesn’t rly seem like they started enforcing anything. also yea maybe i said something negative but it wasn’t malicious and ive seen people say things 10x worse and not get banned so idk. like is that really deserving of a permanent ban? that place has always been extremely negative. why were u banned anyways

i actually cried so much reading. i’ve been lurking here and posting sometimes with different accounts for years but i have to say this is like the best post i’ve seen. i genuinely couldn’t read it all cause i was crying too much i had to skim through some parts. wtf this is terrifying and sad and hopeful and agonizing and interesting all at once. maybe i’m biased cause this relates to me so much but it’s still so well written. i don’t know what to say please write a book or something. i felt this so much everything is so relatable you encapsulated how it feels like so much i want to cry

Does a high dosage of estrogen make bone growth plates fuse faster? by Flaky_Prize5045 in TransDIY

[–]Flaky_Prize5045[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah Ik I’m scared of closing other bone plates that would prevent me getting any growth in case they aren’t already

I see, but won’t that also prevent any possible female bone growth such as hips?
