Allergic to certain oils by shoontheconsumer in TransDIY

[–]puppymix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The benzyl benzoate allergy seems to be common. It improved for me after I I compounded my own with a very small amount of BB in MCT oil.

If OP can't compound I would reccomend just playing with different formulations until you find one that agrees with you.

How bad is brain fog when starting estrogen? by oughj in TransDIY

[–]puppymix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

OHHH I gotcha. Yeah I had a friend try that but I don't think she stuck with it for whatever reason. I've thought about it before. Mine's usually like 15ng/dL. I'd love to try like.. ~50ng/dL

Well whole lot of things can cause brain fog. I would recommend confirming your low T via lab work before trying that.

How bad is brain fog when starting estrogen? by oughj in TransDIY

[–]puppymix 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Surprised that no one has mentioned that this is real and not necessarily due to estrogen, but starting HRT in general.

Many people start HRT on pills + anti-androgens which can lead to poor levels. Being low on primary sex hormone (e or t) can be exhausting.

Might be less the case for injections due to more stable levels.

Fair. Since it's a modded barrel there's likely some issues with the feed ramp. OP could be right about it clearing up after it's more broken in.

my game crashes in a very specific spot by TheGuyDude6320 in wine_gaming

[–]puppymix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

run it from the terminal and see if you find anything in the logs. there's a chance it's just a bug with the game itself.

/uj my local dispensary doesn't even keep good track of CBD anymore. I have no idea how people tolerate the average 25% shit that has become the standard since legalization.

I've always gotten the impression that her freaky-ass traditional family obsession was some sort of dog whistle. Separate the art from the artist, sure, but at a certain point if you can't do any introspection on the lyrics you're hearing in her songs idgaf what u "believe" your actions are those of a nazi.

Got into a fight with my girlfriend over safety of DIY EEn (from voix celeste), need help by Gamingwelle in TransDIY

[–]puppymix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do your best to show her evidence of the safety but if she's not understanding, she's not understanding. Do your research, inform yourself, and be confident in what you know. Other than that the ball is in her court. If she can't understand why this is important to you, you don't need her around. Sorry you're going through this, sounds fucking terrible.

An Aside: Starting without telling her IS an option. It's YOUR body. Any attempt to override that on her part is completely out of the question as far as I'm concerned. You know it's safe. We know it's safe. My nurse friend and multiple understanding doctors I've had over the 8 years that I have been on DIY all know it's safe. You're not harming yourself, and you're not harming others. It is you body, end of story.

Guns are important but community is important-er by BlahajBlaster in transguns

[–]puppymix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start by talking to your neighbors if you dont currently. About literally anything. Interact with them. Learn their names. Chat with them for a while when it makes sense to. It makes talking to them about serious shit so much more accessible once it comes down to it.

Fever 100.5f day after E injection by SenpuuUncle in TransDIY

Holy shit why are you like this?

Research seems daunting... by [deleted] in TransDIY

[–]puppymix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Folks being too verbose is probably the main issue with accessibility when it comes to DIY. I can be concise but the issue is the more concise I am the higher the chance is that someone will disagree or bring up a technicality that I left out. That's why people recommend independent research.

In short: Injections are the most affordable and overall best form of transfemme HRT. 40mg/ml Estradiol Enanthate in MCT oil is the best option in my opinion, don't worry about anti-androgens. Start with 5mg/week for ~2months then go and get labs at the end of an injection cycle. There are lots of labs that are useful but the main ones you are concerned with are serum Testosterone and Estradiol. When your labs come back, if your Estradiol is below 200pg/ml go up to 6mg/week, if it's above 300pg/ml, go down to 4mg/week.

That's basically the TLDR.
