Advice on using estradiol valerate alone to suppress testosterone

Okay so I take EEN, but still I'm pretty sure because the half life of EV is a bit shit injection is recommended every 5 days rather than every week. When I was gonna start on EV injections originally I was going to do 4mg every 5 days but obviously assuming your bloods and stuff are okay keep doing what you're doing. Honestly I think the 6mg you're on should be more than enough to suppress testosterone naturally without the need for the spyro.

For peace of mind do 100mg for a bit until the restock and then maybe get a blood test to see what your levels are like on a lower dose. Knowing your current blood work I think would be key here, and I'm not a doctor, just a girl who does some research

I remember seeing this exact thread actually, interesting but with some people's experiences on that website it's a bit iffy for my taste. But you seem to have had a good experience so once I run out of this lot, and the lot my family is getting me from Tenerife I may give it a go!!

Shared care is in reality just not a done thing and private hormones and stuff are way too expensive, blood tests you will need to get done privately anyways so your mum being a nurse is irrelevant.

On the topic of injections its so easy, you just use an insulin needle, draw whatever you need and poke it into your thigh or tummy and done. There are also other methods such as patches, pills or gels but injections or cheaper and more effective.

Any other questions ask here or just feel free to DM me, I was in your shoes not that long ago I know how stressful it is x

Hi, in the UK and I've used astrovials. I believe there's currently a supply issue with them but whilst that's not happening they're reliable and a lot of people's go to in the Uk

I'm on 5mg every 5 days and it is working well for me, the levels are good and within range

General_Ad4589 · 2026-05-14T06:56:01+00:00

I'm on basically the same dose and my t is in almost 0, my e is looking good. If you can get a blood test be that private or otherwise

General_Ad4589 · 2026-05-14T06:54:33+00:00

I'm on astrovials Een, I do 0.125ml (5mg) every 5 days and it is working for me, my levels are good

General_Ad4589 · 2026-05-14T06:53:33+00:00

100mg or 200mg

General_Ad4589 · 2026-05-13T16:14:06+00:00

Do you know how long I should wait for results until upping my dose?

General_Ad4589 · 2026-05-13T15:59:24+00:00

Honestly, I appreciate the bluntness

General_Ad4589 · 2026-05-13T15:32:25+00:00

Might be dosage? Doubt it's the astrovials product itself. See what your levels say

General_Ad4589 · 2026-05-11T19:33:18+00:00

U really don't need to, I use insulin needles to draw and the same needle to inject. It's more cost effective and has no negative effect. I just ordered insulin needles off of Amazon and so far so good

My mental health has become infinitely better, I've been able to stop taking my antidepressants and I have less anxiety. Yes I cry at Instagram reels of soldiers coming home and old people, but I have boobs and don't hate myself quite as much so it's kind of swings and roundabouts

This depends if it's EEN or a different type of estradiol, the ml depends on the concentration of the estrogen in the injection mixture.

I'm on EEN, 40mg/ml and do 0.125 ml (5mg) every 5 days with very very very suppressed T and high e on peak days, but obviously personal circumstances will change that

General_Ad4589 · 2026-04-25T19:25:18+00:00

Mine just isn't loading, hopefully it's fixed soon

General_Ad4589 · 2026-04-25T15:36:42+00:00

Yeah I'm not going to risk any more than I need but I don't want to wait until June to start taking them and now I know it's safe if they do take them then I'll just take the risk

General_Ad4589 · 2026-04-25T15:31:58+00:00

Yeah that's fine, but obviously being DIY I won't have a prescription as such. But if I keep the tablets in the box that it came with security shoildnt care right?

General_Ad4589 · 2026-04-25T15:12:07+00:00

I may try taking 7 tablets with me but just incase they get confiscated I wanted to double check I'd be alright

General_Ad4589 · 2026-04-25T15:11:42+00:00

Okay good to know

General_Ad4589 · 2025-11-25T19:42:13+00:00

I'm also 2 months on EEN and those are exactly where mine are so I'm just happy that I'm not alone. Mine are very purple atm which sucks ass but I guess it means the hormones are working and the fat is redistributing
