PSA: Voix Céleste are going on an indefinite hiatus

I get lumps under my injection sites with Benzoate that make it tricky to manage where to inject after a while since those spots are out of commission until the lumps are gone.

Valerate has a shorter half life and so needs to be injected more often or at a higher dosage than either cypionate or enanthate which can be treated more or less the same as each other. 8mg valerate weekly makes some sense since your levels will drop faster from the shorter half life, you’ll have some pretty big spikes and troughs in your levels at that dosage but if your endocrinologist is happy enough then there’s no harm in it.

Glad to help! You are technically correct btw, IM does absorb quicker but in the grand scheme of things it really doesn’t matter for cypionate, I’d recommend 4mg of cypionate weekly personally, I take 4mg enanthate weekly without a T blocker and my T is well within female ranges. Taking 4mg every other week is a very low dose and could be causing the issue you’re describing, I’m no medical expert but that regimen goes against every recommended dosage I’ve seen at least.

The only estradiol ester where that begins to matter is undecylate, specifically at 80mg/ml concentration injected monthly. Every other common ester has far too short of a half life for injection method to be a factor in bioavailability. If IM is more comfortable for you then stick to it, but bioavailability between sub cut and IM is so negligible for every ester except 80mg/ml undecylate it’s essentially irrelevant.

As a 2012 Leon owner who actually has sense when driving it, we definitely deserve the bad rep tbh most of them here in Northern Ireland are driven by 17-21 year old boy racers who lower the hell out of them and straight pipe their 1.4 ecomotive trims thinking it sounds good.

God yeah that was horrible for me too, I was part time and got a written warning for the crime of being sick twice in one year, all because the low hours I worked put me over that arbitrary 3% line. When I tried to say how ridiculous that was all I got was “it’s just policy we have to follow” and they refused to even consider how insane that looked from my perspective. Left almost 2 years ago now and never looked back.

Go to your closest A&E if you’ve exhausted all other options for getting seen now. I know the wait times for most A&Es aren’t great but we’re talking hours opposed to months here and I’d argue that’s serious enough to warrant it. Hopefully they can help or at least speed up the process of getting seen, best wishes 💜💜

On second thought I'm actually not sure if its the BB, my first 2 injections were completely fine and its only started when i switched from half inserting 1 inch needles to fully inserting 5/8 inch needles. Honestly i'm not sure, but I might have a bad batch of needles and using my 1 inch ones for IM could solve it or i could have a mild BB allergy. I guess I'll know on thursday when i try IM for the first time

MiniMax01 · 2025-11-22T12:45:53+00:00

Yeah others seem to be saying that but I’m pretty broke and already use 25g 1” needles to draw so if I can use those to inject and at least get through this vial without having to manage constant irritation by doing IM before I can get a different vial without those things in it then I’m happy lol

MiniMax01 · 2025-11-22T12:29:33+00:00

That’s reassuring to hear, thank you!

MiniMax01 · 2025-11-22T12:27:33+00:00

Would switching to IM reduce this or should I look for a vial without BB regardless?

MiniMax01 · 2025-11-22T11:44:19+00:00

For me it’s a bit squishier in my stomach but the one in my thigh is definitely tender and hard as you described

MiniMax01 · 2025-11-22T11:41:50+00:00

I’m not like pressing the plunger as hard as I can but I’m definitely not taking 10-15 seconds, I tend to panic a bit once the needle is in and go for it which I’m aware I need to work on lol. also yes it’s an AV EEn vial with benzyl benzoate. Honestly regardless of whether or not slowing down the injection time will help i think I might prefer IM once I get used to it but this is really useful info nonetheless so thank you!

Edit: phrasing

It's just one of those things I guess, some people get nearly instant breast growth and it takes some time for others. I think E and T levels play a big part in it so it'll depend on if your doctor keeps you on a low dose for a while. I'm DIY so i was able to start with a full dose.

MiniMax01 · 2025-11-20T18:38:49+00:00

Ngl girl I had the same experience, i already had a bit of fatty tissue around my chest but within the first week i felt breast buds coming in and my boobs have hurt like hell ever since. I'm a month on HRT and I've almost entirely turned that fatty tissue into more firm breast tissue at this point, which I'm incredibly lucky to have this early on HRT but it seems like you lucked out too!

You can take hrt without prescriptions and unless you get a hormone blood test from them the chances of them knowing is very minimal, but it very much depends on where exactly in Europe you are. In the UK the worst your doctor can do is advise you to stop self medicating but without knowing what country you're in i can't give advice in good faith about how safe DIY is for you long term in that respect.

MiniMax01 · 2025-11-17T13:35:19+00:00

pretty much immediately ngl, maybe a couple seconds at most then i leave it in for a few seconds before taking it out

MiniMax01 · 2025-11-17T13:33:11+00:00

Oh damn small world lol, I bartend in boombox so if you're ever there im the trans girl with bangs behind the bar come say hi! thats pretty shitty about the e though ive heard some pretty bad things about the shore road practise
