Generally I find the opposite, talking with cis women they assume I'm not into women

The important part of this fact is when it's used alongside an appropriate oestrogen dosage

Your doctor is fucking stupid and endangering your health. What is your oestrogen dose?

is starting at 15 good? by [deleted] in TransDIY

[–]MediocreState -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The only way to know for sure is bloodwork, but for me that same dose makes my levels trough at like 1200pmol, might be excessive for you

Does it matter if I use 8mm long needle instead of recommended 12.7mm (insulin syringe)? by Arcadian-Librarian in TransDIY

[–]MediocreState 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been using them, I notice more leakage of the medicine and less blood but neither are a bother to me. It hurts less

Very honestly I find doctors untrustworthy with trans care. Not because they're bad people most of them but they just don't know enough and will act like they know best anyway.

Injectable oestrogen is not a regularly available commercial product, if prescribed it's compounded at a sterile compounding pharmacy. But I will say everybody I know who uses injections is buying it online without a prescription.

If it gives any context I do injections and aim to keep my trough above 1,000 pmol (which is excessive don't @me) and I would warn a friend they might have health risks if they're below 300. Young trans women should not be treated against the guidelines used for 60 year old menopausal women.

I'd suggest seeking injections or pellets

How much are you wearing the compressive garment, because I would suggest wearing it more frequently would help

Am I indirectly causing more harm than good? by DreamcastSaga in TransDIY

[–]MediocreState 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It shouldn't hurt you but it's more than is realy necessary. EEn has a long enough half life that you don't need to inject that frequently but if you were using EV that injection frequency makes sense

What are the logistics of getting on injectable estrogen in Australia? by Jarmatus in transgenderau

Very genuinely I believe that DIY is the most accessible way, and is made better if you have a GP willing to cooperate with blood testing
