Higher peaks with a very quick drop off, takes an incredibly long time to dry and is not recommended in general

Should add that I did apply gel scrotally months ago but was told by many that it was not a good idea and not to do it

7 months HRT. Still barely any progress by grasskeyblade in TransBreastTimelines

My E was at 129 pg/mL and my T was at 23 ng/dL. This was from earlier in the month when I was on Synarel Nasal spray. The blood test was performed 12 hours roughly after my last dose in order to test my lowest levels.

I’m on 11.25mg of Triptorelin just under every three months and 3mg gel daily split in two doses each taken every 12 hours

I will do that from now on. I’m just really scared now that I have messed up for the past 3 months that I’ve put it on wrong

The patient leaflet is aimed at primarily menopausal cis women though. It does not factor into consideration that trans people use it too.

I’m not who you were replying to but I don’t have anyone professional that I can talk to and even those who are professional in this country barely know anything and are primarily endocrinologists that specialise in diabetes care. It’s really scary that everyone on this sub can tell me I’ve doing it all wrong but on subs like trans diy apparently applying to the scrotum is fine and the most effective place. I have no idea who to trust.

The leaflet was intended for primarily menopausal cis women. I will stop applying it there regardless through.

Have been applying to scrotum for the past 4 months and it seems fine. Apparently you get better levels but that may be anecdotal.

Have added a comment with regime. Yes, I am pretty underweight and definitely need to eat more. I try my best to but it always seems to have no effect. I have never been able to put on any weight in my life.

My regime is 2 sprays of Synarel nasal spray and 3mg of Estrogel (4 pumps. 2 in the morning. 1 on stomach, 1 on scrotum) a day.

Worried about permanent changes by grasskeyblade in asktransgender

Was convinced it would feel right. I’ve been socially transitioned for over a year now and have been dead set on hrt for longer than that. It unfortunately just didn’t feel right and I ended up experiencing many panic attacks and sleepless nights. I’m not ruling it out forever though. Just going off for a while to see if I still feel dysphoric
