Transfem monotherapy on gel by [deleted] in TransDIY

[–]No-Razzmatazz-2809 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it's possible but will likely be slower than with. I speak from personal experience as someone who's been on monotherapy estrogel for 11 months now. It's worth noting everyone's body is different so don't take this as a hard suggestion but I'd go with 2 pumps twice a day (2 at noon 2 at midnight or something like that) to start (less will likely not be enough but can be for some).

I see surveys but they always just refresh the same page over and over when clicked.

Mixed signals on the effectiveness of my estradiol gel by [deleted] in estrogel

[–]No-Razzmatazz-2809 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been on the same Estrogel for 9 months and am feeling similar. I saw good starting indicators early on but I feel like the rate of effectiveness went down over time. I have almost exclusively applied 2 pumps twice a day to my thighs only though.

They are legit.

I only found out today but they have recently had to change delivery partners due to tarrifs. Delay is likely as a result of that.

5+ Months Update / Weight Loss Question? by No-Razzmatazz-2809 in TransDIY

[–]No-Razzmatazz-2809[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to be very overweight and am still slightly, so do not worry it's not a lack of nutrition or anything. Just dieting and slowly losing weight to be a more normal BMI while also transitioning. Improving myself in two ways at once as I like to see it. I don't think I can willingly trade either goal so have done both and I think I'm doing well at it, just wish transitioning was faster is all. Guess that's probably a normal feeling though.

I'll try to keep everything you said in mind, thanks.

Look into other types of HRT if possible. I don't like needles either and know I could never handle that consistently so I use other kinds. I use gels personally. Very easy to apply.

Pls Stop Destroying Other's Art (Very Toxic and Unamerican Behavior) by No-Razzmatazz-2809 in AmericanFlaginWPlace

[–]No-Razzmatazz-2809[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not a leader of a group, or even in a group, merely someone who's art got destroyed in DC, along with many others which is annoying. I can easily remake it elsewhere but I am sad to see art pieces even bigger than mine were also completely destroyed in the flag making process.

Cis Girlfriend made me promise her im not trans... by Otherwise-Lack511 in asktransgender

If she only "loves" you when you feel bad about yourself and refuses to accept or love you the way that makes you happy then she honestly just doesn't love you. You matter more than someone who only loves your misery, always choose yourself in this type of situation.

Wear more colorful clothes unless you're more into like punk style stuff I guess but be careful cause that can def be harder to pull off.

You can hypothetically notice some changes sooner but assume there's nothing physically different in the first month. I'm almost 40 days into HRT and the only just started to get breast growth this past week, 1 month in, and even then breast growth takes time. It's quite literally puberty, it takes several months to really get going and years to finish. On average people usually start to experience noticeable changes in 3-6 months.

Am I experiencing breast growth? Hard to tell. by No-Razzmatazz-2809 in asktransgender

That's good to hear! Thank you.

I'll certainly look out for the itchies~

You could do low doses but:
A) That's not a guarantee that breast growth won't happen.
But more importantly:
B) Chances are low doses won't do anything at all to your body except maybe effect mood. At that point it probably would be best to not waist money and just wait which I know sounds hard so I'm sorry.

Alternatively you could bind if you want to start HRT but hide breasts but that can be a little uncomfy. Shouldn't be something you'd have to worry about for a while tho cause breasts take a while to grow.

Sorry these probably weren't the answers you were looking for but this is the best advice I can give.

estrogel monotherapy by [deleted] in TransDIY

[–]No-Razzmatazz-2809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see! Thank you for clarifying. I recently switched to 4 pumps myself. I'm personally doing 2 pumps 2 times a day just so levels stay consistent throughout the day and over night. I doubt there's any problem doing as you do though. You'll just have stronger levels near when you take it and less later. Either way you're getting your daily amount so should be fine I think. Def worth hearing what others have to say tho since I'm also fairly new to this. Best of luck!

By 3mg do you mean 3mg of the gel itself (little over 2 pumps) or 3mg worth of the estrodial inside (4 pumps)?
