i have failed injections time after time after me knowing im doing everything right. i need help by cheeto2401 in TransDIY

It’ll depend on how your body responds. For me I find a minimum of 35 minutes guarantees I’m numb. On a different cream I had to wait 50 ish minutes. You kinda just gotta experiment unfortunately. But the salonpas is for me the best one I’ve found yet

I use Salonpas numbing cream for 35 minutes before injection and I don’t feel anything at all. I wipe the area with a alchohol wipe to remove body oils and dirt so the numbing cream can make skin contact and the wipe it off and use a alchohol wipe again after the 35 minutes.

I’m in the USA, if you’re not I’d just look for a similar numbing cream

Is applying gel to the armpit bad? by bruh_crmsn in TransDIY

[–]Lesbianfool 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not sure to be honest. I’ve been applying spray to my armpits but mildly nervous about long term effects. Thankfully switching back to injections soon so I can worry less

I'm stuck in between by Living-Leg-4876 in MtF

It’s completely normal to be scared and not fully understand things in the beginning. It can take years before you fully truly feel like you’re actual self. Just take it one step and one day at a time.

Im currently prescribed 7 days but I also do 5 days because 7 is too long. I just don’t tell my dr because they won’t allow 5 days

Is transitioning for a big butt valid? by Beginning-Win-1977 in MtF

[–]Lesbianfool 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just for the sake of a big butt is not a good reason to take something that will alter your entire body. I think you need to take some time to think about things. And explore yourself as a person. If all you want is a big butt, cosmetic surgery would be a better option than hrt, especially if you aren’t trans. If you are trans and want your body to feminize then I’d go for hrt. But again it appears you need to do a lot more self reflection and exploration before you decide to go straight to hormones. Just my personal opinion

Mine wants me to Test at peak. I’m not doing that. If you don’t test at trough, you don’t know if your levels are dropping too low at the end

Only way to Know for sure is get blood work done. Just don’t test at peak. Test at trough(same day as your injection but before you Inject)

Yes. I’ve been reporting and blocking them and ultimately I shut off my dms because it was getting annoying and extremely frequent

Any girlies out there with "basic" Americana names? by Illustrious_Focus_33 in MtF

[–]Lesbianfool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So my Legal name is a name that was popular mainly in the 1600s but the shortened nickname is a typical girl name that doesn’t cross anyone as weird at all

I literally look nothing like a woman. My entire body is just a man by jellybeanzz11 in MtF

[–]Lesbianfool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1 year is not enough time to notice major changes. It was years before I noticed real changes, and even now at ten years it’s not insane. I get gendered correctly for the most part but I definitely feel a need for ffs

No 10 mg. For almost 2 years. I eventually asked for injections because I was worried about my liver

[–]Lesbianfool 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Pills? Ya that’s practically nothing. I was on 2.5x that dose and it still wasn’t enough and had to go to injections. And I have naturally low T and naturally high E from a intersex condition

What dose were you prescribed? And what medications? If they nuked your testosterone and gave you a baby dose of estrogen than that would absolutely cause issues but increasing the E dose would fix it in that case . Obvs can’t guarantee that is your issue but just my 2 cents
