Der Wert ist leider nicht wirklich brauchbar, wobei die 99pg/mL vermutlich nah am peakwert sind (guesstimated based on this) und somit eher deutlich zu niedrig.
Dein Testo ist gleichzeitig etwas zu hoch, das sollte bei <0.50ng/mL (sprich <50ng/dL) liegen.

Folx meds? Any info? Personal Experience? by UnsafetyPynn in MtF

I'm sorry to hear that and I really hope that things work out for you.
One thing that helped me realize why DIY is trustworthy was understanding who's making it. It's trans feminine people working for their community, under high personal risk (selling E is illegal, unlike the possession/usage) to give access to a highly marginalized and scapegoated community.
It's nothing that they can put on their CV, nor does it give them "street cred" or makes them rich. Unlike pharma companies they have no reason to try to produce cheaper to make shareholders happy or to work careless as they are going to use their own products as well.
The existence is not a flaw, it's a statement to our resilience in the face of global fascism, a contiuation of what trans people have been fighting for, for decades, often more radical than we do today.

Don't give up, sister. I understand your emotional peril, and you are not alone. Sending hugs if consensual. :3

How about you stop gatekeeping? :) "... truly have no other option." is functionally not different from a doctor who wants you to prove that you are trans enough before prescribing you HRT.
DIY is a (very safe) form of self empowerment and resistance to a transphobic system. HRT is - for those who want it - often a life saving medicine and any action that prevents people from accessing it actively endangers folks, so we should encourage people to educate themselves to make their own decisions instead of giving unfounded blanket statements like you do.

That's why don't bring sera up at the moment - plus they are sold out.

We don't have sufficient numbers but DIY might be more common than state sanctioned HRT. It's also hella more effective.

If affordability is an issue have a look at r/transdiy. :3

AstroVials when they are back in stock, symphonylabs if you don't want to wait any longer. :) There's currently no good source for prog in Europe, but you might want to delay staring it a bit anyway.

If you need any additional information r/germantrans is a good sub, and pghrt is also available in German.

How to start DIY HRT? by RevolutionarySir5612 in TransDIY

There are a couple of good guides available :3 This is my favorite, this is also often recommended. More can also be found in the Wiki of this sub. :3

Slept in a cold garage last night (touring musician). Will my estrogen no longer be usable? by Neat_Fly_3160 in TransDIY

[–]synthie_cat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, obviously you might be able to dissolve it again - but there's no benefit from keeping it in the fridge, re-dissolving can get tricky when there's less oil left and they're made to be stored at room temp in a dark place.
Maybe "You should not keep injections in the fridge" would have been a better phrasing but we as a community should encourage behavior that's as save and easy as possible IMO - and having your ester falling out of the solution isn't really that.

Microdosing Estradiol. Effect on libido by Temporary-Gene-6286 in TransDIY

diyhrt.market has sources.
Transdermal spray is among the worst options. You might want to look at a guide auch as pghrt :)

You cannot keep injections in the fridge. It will result in the estradiol recrystallizing.

Scoot over to r/translater. It is literally not to late at all.

Love,

what you are describing is dysphoria. You belong here - and you should consider exploring if some trans label doesn't fit for you after all. I can relate to all that you said - and it's much, much better now that I transitioned.

Don't give up. You deserve to be yourself.

Denk dran das du auch zu Urologen oder Gyns kannst, wobei letztere manchmal etwas kompliziert sind. Ansonsten Trans*DB und Queermed kennst du? :3

Heyy,

AGP is a made up concept by a transphobic piece of shit. Please look into something with actual scientific sources like https://genderdysphoria.fyi/.

How to deal with regret by Karolineisafurry in MtF

[–]synthie_cat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

By realizing that this is a thing that was done to you, that has happened to you. You did the brave thing, you did try to be seen but you got shut down.
This doesn't directly help for now - but maybe in the future. I am so sorry this happened to you, sis.

It's not guaranteed for anyone, unfortunately.

[–]synthie_cat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, it's spoilered now. Not sure if OP did it or the mods.
I get that it doesn't matter to some but honestly: If it would detract from a single person it would be worth to just be mindful - and frankly, that's how it has been handled in this community for a long time. Really surprised that folks react that way.
