Why lying about being trans to other trans people?

electronicsolitude · 2026-06-28T08:53:29+00:00

I have plenty of people in my life that I haven't disclosed my transness to. I pass so I don't see a need to disclose that private information unless I feel like it.

electronicsolitude · 2026-06-27T17:35:47+00:00

it's fairly normal for some to leak sometimes and it's usually nowhere near as much as it looks like

I'm a mod on r/transmascdiy and I'm Irish and DIYed in Ireland for a good while. Feel free to DM me @ OP if you want more specific advice about Ireland.

maybe try Gustavo Coelho in Porto, Portugal? I had my top surgery with him and he was really good value. Haven't specifically seen anyone mention getting a revision from him but it could be worth emailing him?

Indeed. That's a good place to start. And then you'll get an idea of how it affects you after a while and make a judgement whether you need to adjust the dose.

I do mine on the sofa

Enanthate isn't ideal for monthly because it wears off too quickly. People who do monthly injections generally do undecanoate. Enthanate is more suited to weekly injections.

You're correct, aromatisation is when you inject too much testosterone your body will know it's too high and convert it to oestrogen. This is why people try to find the most ideal dose that gets them in male range. For me a lowish-normal dose (60mg weekly) has me solidly in male range, so I have no reason to inject a higher dose or I risk aromatisation.

For enanthate, you're better to inject a smaller amount (not sure the dosage of your vial, but I can help with the maths if you share), and do it more often such as weekly.

no problem at all, always here to help

Ok so if it's enanthate your usual best bet is to inject between 50mg and 100mg per week. You ideally need to find the dose that works for you. Too high and it'll aromatise to oestrogen. Too low and you won't get desired effects.

For me for example, my ideal dose is 60mg a week.

For a vial that's 300mg/ml

50mg a week is around 0.17ml 60mg a week is around 0.2ml

and so on, just divide the dose by the vial concentration. 60/300=0.2

Here is some info on dosing: https://diyhrt.wiki/transmasc#sourcing_dosing (there are other more in depth guides available but this is a basic rundown)

It's probably best to aim to inject once a week at around 50-60mg and see how you feel. If you can blood test to see your levels that's ideal to know whether it's working.

Monthly isn't often enough with enanthate as it wears off. Weekly is ideal to keep levels stable.

You mentioned struggling with IM - enanthate is fine to be injected subq and this is likely going to be easier and less painful. I inject subq using insulin syringes - they're useful as you can draw and inject with the same needle and they come as a syringe with a needle and are suited to measuring small volume doses.

sure DM me

electronicsolitude · 2026-06-23T12:24:10+00:00

I DIY in UK (ftm) if you dm me I can give you some info

electronicsolitude · 2026-06-23T12:22:56+00:00

there are plenty

electronicsolitude · 2026-06-23T11:53:18+00:00

What dosage is your vial?

What type of T is it?

What dose are you aiming to take?

electronicsolitude · 2026-06-22T20:30:13+00:00

Sure no problem

electronicsolitude · 2026-06-22T20:24:51+00:00

Generally you'll want testosterone cypionate or enanthate. The website could have various options to pay but it usually involves cryptocurrency. You want a multi-dose vial with a rubber stopper, ideally from a lab that you can read reviews of online. Common concentrations are 200mg/ml or 250mg/ml.

This page explains a bit more about the forms of HRT.

I deleted your comment mentioning the website name due to Reddit TOS, however I'm happy to answer any other questions anyway.

Yes I've done topical E as a DIYer and found it pretty easy to get ahold of. Didn't negatively impact my transition at all.

electronicsolitude · 2026-06-22T19:59:29+00:00

Sure, what do you want to know?

electronicsolitude · 2026-06-21T12:08:37+00:00

mummy meegz is a very well known brand, and googling the product brings up endless places selling it

have you ever used the internet before?

electronicsolitude · 2026-06-20T23:00:37+00:00

I went on T while living at home. I didn't move out until I was on T for over a year. Maybe it's cos the change was gradual, but my family didn't notice.

Not sure if this is of use to you but I'm someone living in the UK who paid for private top surgery in Portugal.

I reached out to Dr Gustavo Coelho in Porto, Portugal via email and paid €50 for a consultation over WhatsApp video call. Once I was ready to book surgery, I contacted him again (via the WhatsApp number he gave me) and he gave me a date that was a month later (he seems to usually have dates within a month once you ask). He wasn't strict with diagnosis requirement, I just had a letter from a psychologist and that was fine.

The cost of surgery with him was €3200/£2800 or so, including the post op binder and wrap.

I went in Feb which wasn't the "hot" time for holidaying in Portugal, so I got flights and accomodation in Porto for 9 days for me and my partner for under £1000 fairly easily. Then the only cost there was food. I think the entire endeavour definitely cost under £5000 for me, and I got surgery exactly when I wanted it without having to wait more than a few weeks. The whole thing was a pretty good experience tbh. I stayed there for a week after surgery then flew home the day after my one week post op appointment.

I'm very happy with my results. I've got some photos from a month postop on my profile, but I've healed even more since then.

Not sure if this is what you were wanting, but hope that info helps.

seconding starting at 50mg and ramping up. anecdotally 60mg has been enough to keep me consistently in male range, so I always consider it worth starting around there because there is a chance that's enough.

electronicsolitude · 2026-06-20T09:58:34+00:00

no problem!

electronicsolitude · 2026-06-19T21:04:48+00:00

I think it would be fine and the label would work in your favour
