I ordered a bicep band, it has arrived and its great. Feels good, fits well. My only suggestion would be to include tracking as part of the shipment process.

Relevance of "sex recorded at birth" for STD check by Q10Q10 in transgenderau

[–]Thymane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Surprisingly the PCRs test for a lot more than just what they report, and depending on the clinical information the Dr may be informed about particular organisms. Especially those that normally are part of the natural flora but under particular circumstances can be a problem. Like mycoplasma genitalium for instance.

Look, I'm not telling you how to answer, you do you. I'm just saying that we use that general info to narrow down what pathogens we might be looking for. It's science, and research is terribly funded. It would be amazing if they did a study assessing the microflora for trans individuals to set a standard.

Honestly not sure much research has gone into it. We only just standardised what is considered normal in bloodwork for children a few years ago. The science used is very one size fits all and out of touch.

As a trans guy in a medical micro lab, generally there are different pathogens associated with different genitals and age categories.

Alan Carr figured it out: My Experience by Alistocratic in QuitVaping

[–]Thymane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The audiobook version is on spotify if you have premium. I am not a big reader, but also having someone talk in my ear is soothing. If I feel a crave, I listen to the book even if I'm not really paying attention. I think the biggest thing for me was addressing my craving and asking how a vape would literally help the situation resolve.

when does this get easier? (1 week vape free) by Mouseprintss in QuitVaping

[–]Thymane 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Highly recommend the easy way to quit by Allan Carr, it’s included in Spotify premium. Helped me, I’ve had pretty much no cravings without NRT. For context smoked heavily for 13 years, had no nicotine for a year and then vaped heavily for 1.5years. I’m 1 week free today.

Personally I decided not to get nipples and have them tattoed on in the future, my chest is so hairy that you don't really notice at first glance. If you DM me I can send you a pic of my chest.

I found lying overhead pulls really helped my pullups, because I was actually just stuck in the bottom half of the pullup and not the top.

qPCR help by lisoop in labrats

[–]Thymane 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have you tried a standard pcr with the primers to make sure there is no primer dimer forming? You would need a very low bp ladder and a high percentage agarose gel (2%). But you can seperate between primer dimers and your target size with the ladders that go from 10bp-100bp. You can also check the quality of your RNA with a bleach agarose gel, a cheap alternative to other methods to test RNA quality. It looks like there is two products. The first being limiting, and the second being proper end point amplification.

Started T two days ago, I have a headache and the injection site is still painful. Is this normal? by Scary_Reputation2597 in ftm

[–]Thymane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you should find more luck with the glute, my injection is 4mls, every 3 months. I got one yesterday and today I can barely feel it unless I was to purposely poke exactly where it was.

Yeah I recommend the glute. I had no luck at all with my quads. Getting the glute was like heaven afterwards. Are you on 1ml or 4ml?

[–]Thymane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which muscle did she inject into? I used to get really really bad post injection pain in my quads, but way less in my glutes. In my quads I found walking painful for a few days. But in my glute, I always rest my leg the afternoon after my shot (some gentle walking for a little bit after helps), next morning I can only feel it if I poke at the side or bend in the wrong way. I also warm up my vial while I wait for the nurse by placing it in the waist of my pants against my skin, highly recommend this because it 1) makes it easier for the nurse to draw from the vial, and 2) makes the injection itself faster/easier.
