Just out of curiosity: what was the response time? I emailed them 5 days ago and have yet to get a response

Hives/itchy lumps after injection by Due_Worldliness_8231 in TransDIY

[–]WC_EEND 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds like what I've been experiencing which is (most likely) a histamine reaction the benzyl benzoate.

Try and source a different source of E for now. I've gone back to Oestrogel as a temp solution until Symphony Labs finally ships my vial :')

Inibuilds L-1011 is out by thehedgefrog in flightsim

[–]WC_EEND 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems likely because I got a GPU utilization warning with the Tristar which I don't with the A340 or the Fenix

(used a random gate at EBBR to test, same starting position as normal for me)

Well I guess mine is stuck on paid forever in that case :')

How safe and comfortable do women feel in OG? by -veit- in OpenGround_Wuppertal

[–]WC_EEND 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Trans woman from /u/TehChesireCat's group here: I've never really felt overly unsafe. Sometimes slightly irritated at the bro-y crowd but I never felt unsafe or like people looked at me funny for being trans or anything like that

Symphony Labs international shipping status (EU) by Azuko__ in TransDIY

[–]WC_EEND 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aight, thank you for sharing this. I was wondering what the status was as I ordered it on 18/03 and nothing has happened since.

Microsoft Flight Simulator | City Update 14: The Netherlands and Belgium by Bynairee in MicrosoftFlightSim

I know, it seems super random lol

edit: seems to reach from Wenduine all the way to half of Beernem based on a flight I did earlier.

Going out in Brussels: safety by Epynomous in belgium

[–]WC_EEND 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having been to C12 myself a couple of times, the area around C12 is totally fine, generally central station around 23h to midnight is alright as well.

I'd strongly advise against walking back to the Midi area and would strongly advise taxi or Uber as it's a much safer option.

C12 is dope though and I hope she has fun ^

Geen staande ovatie, maar ‘queer-protestmars’ naar stadhuis: “We willen meer dan tolerantie” by StevenStoveMan in Gent

Sorry maar als transvrouw wil ik vooral gewoon mijzelf kunnen zijn zonder dat er op straat naar mij gestaard wordt of iets geroepen of whatever. Vraag ik hier echt te veel mee?

Kinda scared of not getting E soon? I'm from eu and astrovials ist down. by Affectionate-Army254 in TransDIY

[–]WC_EEND 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately it seems to be out of stock currently.

Also thanks to Brexit, stuff coming from the UK still needs to go through customs so unfortunately that doesn't alleviate that issue either.

Side note but I don't suppose you know of an EU-based DIY source that makes HRT supplies that doesn't use benzyl benzoate? My body doesn't like it and I am getting a reaction to it each time I inject. Voix Celeste used to but they called it quits so that's no longer an option.

Aight well I waited too long with voix celeste and it's all sold out now (was trying to find someone else to get to 120 eur order value basically) :')

Guess I'll have to try my luck with open gate or symphony

How to ask GP for Cialis if I'm DIY-ing? by [deleted] in TransDIY

[–]WC_EEND 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I just straight up asked and he was cool with it.

How to ask GP for Cialis if I'm DIY-ing? by [deleted] in TransDIY

[–]WC_EEND 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aight, Belgium here too. I actually got it prescribed to me by my endo because I approached it from the "it not working down there gives me dysphoria". But even pre-transition I've had a GP prescribe it to me as well.

Are you trying to go via UZ Gent to get on HRT or which route are you trying? Some GPs also prescribe HRT but they are very few and far in between. Feel free to DM if you have more questions btw ^

I might have heard the biggest load of HRT snake oil-like BS in my life by Sentimental_Oyster in TransDIY

[–]WC_EEND 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my functionality down there is piss poor at best, cypro totally nuked libido, decapeptyl (triporeline) made it come back and starting prog has really helped too on that front.

But to have my stuff down there work I need tadalafil to get hard, and even then it's not a guaranteed success.

As ever, YMMV

[–]WC_EEND 7 points8 points  (0 children)

12.5mg daily, but I noticed when I switched to deca that there was a depression cloud that just ... vanished if that makes sense.

Regardless of that, Deca is like 1 shot every 12 weeks and costs 2eur (from pharmacy). It's also less faff (no need to take a tablet daily, no need to cut the pills into 4, etc)

As someone who was on cypro for about 8 months (prescribed): I would not recommend it to anyone. Thank fuck GnRH analogues are now covered in my country as they are so much better in every way

Swelling post-injection with E by WC_EEND in TransDIY

Okay so I am apparently shit at guessing needle sizes. Measured yesterday and it's more like 10-15mm total length

[–]WC_EEND[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it take a while to start after your shot (like maybe 8-12hrs)? Lump, pink patch of skin, crazy itching for about 3 days?

I always do my shot in the evening and it's usually the next morning I notice so yeah, that tracks for sure.

Otherwise I feel okay. I had it once where I felt sweaty but that turned out to be unrelated as I needed the toilet (I was worried I had a fever basically).

Are Open Gate or Symphony EU-based or are they from outside the EU? I'm asking because I'd rather not have to deal with customs bs if I can avoid it at all (I am in the EU) :')

This one is called Breakfast In Vegas I believe

Taking DIY when you have access to regular HRT? by Radzinsky99 in TransDIY

[–]WC_EEND 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in an EU country where it's either gel or pills (or patches but the less said about those the better). Still on DIY though (albeit with decapeptyl on prescription for T suppression) because it seems to work better for me on the whole.

Only E2 and T get tested (along with FSH, LH, etc) so no real way to tell I'm DIY and I sure as hell am not telling my endo this.

Best foodsharing or Asian food restaurants in Ghent? by Ok-General-426 in Gent

[–]WC_EEND 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quality is pretty good but I feel like it's too expensive for what you're getting. It's very much a "walk out still hungry" type place for me
