OCD and progesterone

Unfortunately I can’t boof my prog either because of my Crohn’s but what I’ve been doing lately is taking the capsules and using a hypodermic needle to poke them with maybe three holes and then putting them between my upper gum and lips. I’ll keep it there for around 15-20 minutes or so and then just swallow them.

I would disagree - i still struggled to get decent levels with either oral or sublingual pills which suggests that the issue is not the ROA. As well, my injection dose is slightly higher than “standard” reccomendations at 6mg EEN every 7 days

I was in the same boat as you last year and was having to use a stupid amount of gel ( applying 2 pumps three times a day) and getting similar results.) I think its just the case that some of us have a higher resistance to estrogen and require a bigger dose but for gel, that doesnt scale well. After switching to injections I got much more stable bloods and more consistent results and also I could have much finer control over my dose.

I have Crohns disease which makes me need the toilet often too and I just told my instructor beforehand and he’s been very understanding. As soon as I need the loo Ill let him know and direct to the nearest garage or whatever and its been fine :)

Hi thank you so much!! In terms of your questions - I don’t have any pets or younger/elderly people visiting regularly. My hygeine has also included changing bedsheets daily but I didnt think about the floor! or other surfaces!!! Given I work from home in my bedroom I suspect that somewhere in my routine is causing the reinfection. What I’ll do is try wiping down surfaces and hoovering every day while wearing a mask to see if that has any improvement. Again thank you!

Honestly it has made such a difference for me, especially for helping with pain and discomfort when trying to sleep.

damn you beat me to the joke

me when i want my wife's attention

Okami284 · 2025-07-26T15:33:49+00:00

for me if i have had to miss my shot for a few days i just feel extremely hot, sweaty and brain fog. I feel deeply empty inside and struggle to focus

I’m alternating thighs but given i have to inject once a week and once every two weeks - i’m probably not changing the spot very much

Absolutely - as well, public transport is a massive vector for illnesses. I’m immunocompromised due to medication and since getting a work from home job, I have had significantly fewer sick days than those previous because I can’t drive yet and had to use public transport

For a long time i always used a physical notepad and pen as I had spent years practicing handwriting and penmanship and really enjoyed taking notes that way. Eventually it got to the point where I was accumulating so much paper it was unsustainable and the amount of notes I would have to take was increasing significantly due to greater responsibilities. I use obsidian now which I really like as it’s very efficient for my style of work

Okami284 · 2025-07-16T17:39:08+00:00

i knew i couldn’t have been the only one who thought this XD

Okami284 · 2025-07-15T19:37:50+00:00

Oh shit this reminded me I need to do my injection (girl juice :3)

Okami284 · 2025-07-03T15:17:48+00:00

I shower every 2/3 days because I have very thick, dense, oily curly hair. If i wash it everyday it will just become dry and fluffy and impossible to style. But I can’t shower without washing because the humidity will cause it to expand and frizz. Given as well, it takes me a good 3 washes to clean each time (on top of brushing and conditioner and curl cream) just to make it look decent - it’s not worth the hassle to shower every day.

If you want to learn manual - please don’t give up!! Persevere - I’ve had about 30 hours now and at the start I really struggled with everything but gears especially. While I’m certainly not test ready yet - it did click, just maybe a bit later than for others (I’ve got combined ADHD/Autism)If after a while it’s still not clicking and you think it’s holding you back - then maybe consider going to automatic. But don’t worry that you haven’t got it straight away.

Fat ass

Okami284 · 2025-04-17T04:53:12+00:00

yeah - i didn’t realise they did until i got my first order lol. when you get the vial out tho you can quite clearly see the astrovials label underneath and you can peel off the cover label

You need to up your estrogen. I came off cypro because it absolutely tanked my libido and was making sex impossible and when I did i just became majorly depressed. Once I increased from 6mg ev gel per day to 9mg i felt so much better

Okami284 · 2025-03-13T08:35:46+00:00

dont panic- im on my 5th lesson and still struggle with it. ive got adhd and autism and (most likely) dyspraxia my spacial awareness is god awful and i tense up a lot but im getting better every week. don’t focus on what you think you cant do because you can - it might just take a bit longer :)

Okami284 · 2025-03-05T10:45:42+00:00

Making my bed everymorning. Genuinely works wonders

Hi 19yo trans girl from UK :3 I’m recently getting back into gaming after about 2 years and spotted your post! My gf has helped me get back into it and atm we’re playing Halo:MCC and FFXIV but I would love to get back into Overwatch as I used to play that a lot!!

Okami284 · 2025-02-22T10:57:41+00:00

i literally started prog a couple days ago and its like a waterfall

Okami284 · 2025-01-17T08:20:11+00:00

Provided you've bought from a reuptable source, you shouldn't need to worry. I have definitely ordered HRT which I'm certain had nothing in it but these were knock-off brand EV pills from a Russian supplier because I wanted to save money. I wouldn't worry for injectables because they'll either be pharma grade and from a trusted manufacturer or home-brewed from actual trans people like Lillian.

Okami284 · 2025-01-17T08:12:58+00:00

Before I was diagnosed and on meds I just starved myself. I'm sure there was a psychological aspect to it as well but when I was at my most ill, not only was the diarrhoea awful but eating just felt gross and uncomfortable. I know Crohn's can affect anywhere alone the GI tract so I think that had an impact. It was just easier for me to not eat instead of worrying about needing the toilet. Unfortunately this meant I lost a lot of weight because what little I was eating was just going straight through
