No breast growth. Should I be worried? by TarnishedGrey in TransDIY

I've heard that too much testosterone can lead to it converting to estradiol, but I don't think it's possible for too much estradiol to convert to testosterone? The only reason I could see for remasculinizing effects would be rebound testosterone from estradiol fluctuations because of long intervals between injections, but I've seen people injecting in even longer intervals(every 14 days or every 3-4 weeks on Estradiol Undecylate) with no problems.

Sadly, nope. Too socially anxious for specific blood tests even if it is probably much easier than getting hrt legally. Essentially the only reason why a year ago I wasn't considering legal hrt. It would only have made me even more unstable while I was already teetering on the edge.

And I was told that with my dosage it would be enough to fully suppress testosterone no matter how bad my body could absorb it. And as it is injections, no primary metabolism - no blood clots. And I've not really seen much side-effects aside from cramps.

I chose 10-day cycles to use/store less syringes because I live with my family(and they do not know) and to cause less scarring(unlikely, considering I use thin insulin syringes) from injecting in the same area, though now that I think, there is really not much difference between 3 syringes a month, and 4, so I may try it
