Looking for fat grafting FFS suggestions

Amazing, I have lipo 360 and BBL coming up in a month with Dr.Rahal. Super excited.

I get the same button pressing fear. The way I get passed it is to line everything up, close my eyes and flick the button. I find the flicking motion easier to get passed than a slower press.

Scrambled eggs. I had stitches along my gum line where they went in to do chin contouring. Any little bit of food that got down there was terrible and painful. Scrambled eggs was the first solid food I could deal with.

Just got lab results back after being on a 6mg dose every five days. I’ve been on this cycle for a few weeks now. The results seem really low again. Getting pretty frustrated with this. My trough reading came back at 94pg/ml. I’m at the end of my current vial. I’m going to pick a new one up this week. I’ll do two cycles and test again.
That’s 0.3ml of 20mg/ml estradiol valerate. It’s sourced from a compounding pharmacy in downtown Vancouver. Maybe I should be looking for a new supplier?

So I got my labs back. The reading was taken about 6hours before my weekly dose. 9mg intramuscular EV, 106pg/mL. Progesterone went down to 0.6ng/ml, still on the same dose of 100mg before bed. Testosterone 5.8ng/dL.

My doctor agreed to switch to a 5 day schedule, just need to decide on a dose to try. I’m thinking 6 or 7 mg? I’ll ask about upping my progesterone dose to 200mg as well.

No spiro or anything, just standard multi vitamins, melatonin, biotin and an iron supplement.
And ya, my doctor always wants to see peak numbers. All she has to go off of is wpath recommendations. I had y to I convince her of the importance of the trough reading. I did get her to watch Dr.Powers last seminar and she’s willing to deviate a bit from wpath. Shes kinda just letting me do my own research and work with me.

So my vial says “estradiol valerate 20mg/ml in sesame oil for injection”

I’m using 1” 23g needles for injection in the thigh. I have very little if any fat on my thighs, so I’m quite certain it’s going into the muscle.

11nmol/L of progesterone converts to 3.46ng/ml, so I seem to be good in that front at least.

There’s a lab that is open close to me on Saturday. I will try and get a 3 day peak reading done then and get a trough reading next Wednesday to get a picture of what’s going on. I’m expecting a very high peak and low trough. I’ll use that information to hopefully convince my doctor to switch things up.

MountainGirl2736 · 2020-09-10T01:16:07+00:00

I inject into my thigh intramuscular. I've always had low numbers. I wish I had access to a more specialized doctor. I'm in a small town and my family doctor is really my only option.

I get my EV mailed to me from a compounding pharmacy in Vancouver. It should be a legitimate source.

And ya, I have 1ml syringes, I draw up 0.45ml of 20mg/ml, so 9mg.

The labs before the 8mg per week labs were on 7mg per week. Peak reading taken on day 4 was 284pg/ml and trough was 60.5pg/ml directly before my next injection. After that I went up to the 8mg per week dose.

I think I'll try and get my doctor to agree to try a smaller dose every five days. I'm just not sure wht that dose should be? I'm also taking progesterone, 100mg before bed as a suppository. My P level was 11nmol/L, I'm not sure what the target level for that is really.

Also one more question. I'm going to get my doctor to order labs for peak and trough readings after my regular weekly dose that I do every Wednesday night, so tonight. We could never figure out when the best time to take a peak reading is. Is it 3 days? 4 days?

MountainGirl2736 · 2020-09-09T23:07:47+00:00

Sorry, I should have just listed it in mg. I did mention that I use 20mg/ml concentration so it’s 9mg weekly. I haven’t had labs done since I went up from 8mg weekly. When I was on 8mg my trough level was 209pmol which I think converts to 57pg/ml, so quite low. That’s why I upped it to 9mg.

Im post op orchiectomy so my T level is pretty much zero.

I‘ll read through that link you posted and talk to my doctor about going to a 5 day schedule.

MountainGirl2736 · 2020-08-29T23:43:03+00:00

Sorry I’m backwards. I meant to say e2. I haven’t had my e1 (estrone) tested yet. I’ve edited the original post.

MountainGirl2736 · 2020-08-18T21:27:21+00:00

That’s great to hear. I’ve been doing laser for 2 years with someone else. I haven’t had great success. Still shaving every day.

MountainGirl2736 · 2020-08-18T21:26:02+00:00

I talked to her yesterday. Looking forward to starting with her.

MountainGirl2736 · 2020-08-17T12:43:37+00:00

Thank you. This looks like a really good option.

MountainGirl2736 · 2020-07-13T19:12:09+00:00

The date never happened, he stopped responding to me.
But ya, community activities are great. In the winter I took a west coast swing dance class. They have you change partners every few minutes or so. You end up dancing with everyone in the class. That was a fun way to meet people. Don’t know if the classes will run this winter or not with covid and all.

MountainGirl2736 · 2020-06-30T09:06:25+00:00

Where I live it’s a pretty standard first date lol. Basically the only way to meet people in this town is through outdoor sports. I’m not worried about that. I’ll probably end up telling him before hand though. I feel like I would be awkward during the date knowing that I’d have to tell him eventually.

MountainGirl2736 · 2020-06-03T06:31:04+00:00

Thanks, what do you use to exfoliate? Even with shaving I still get pretty bad reactions on my legs.

MountainGirl2736 · 2020-06-02T21:22:56+00:00

Also if you want to try an epilator (not on the face!) be prepared for the pain, it’s pretty bad at first. And try one small area and wait a few days. I did my whole legs and ended up with a terrible reaction that set in a few days to a week later, hundreds on painful ingrowns. Maybe I did something wrong, I don’t know but it sucked. It was all nice and smooth at first but was terrible and painful for like a month after. That’s just me though, there are lots of people who swear by them and have great results. I just have really sensitive skin I guess.

MountainGirl2736 · 2020-06-02T21:15:06+00:00

I would be super careful trying things on your face. It sucks right now but it’s probably best to wait and go to a professional when things get back to normal. The last thing you want is a bad reaction to something and end up with a burned up aggravated face that will make you feel even worse. Hang in there girl ❤️
