nothings happened yet wtf! where’s my instantaneous magical girl transformation?
seriously tho, i expected some mental change based on how ppl describe the euphoria of being on E, but ig that takes time just like the physical changes.
i can wait tho, i was so indescribably happy last night after injecting. i was tearing up and cuddling with my gf and had amazing sleep. it feels like a new chapter of my life that im more optimistic and joyful for than ive ever been! been waiting almost two years for this moment 🥹
thank you hexbear! i dont know how much longer it would have taken for me to discover my transness if i wasn’t a part of the site with the best trans community on the internet!
and im moving to a medium sized city in a month so ill be in a good place to transition compared to the rural area where i live
i am DIY and made four vials a couple weeks ago. then yesterday i sterilized them at 130C for 30 minutes, pretty easy in oil if you have a digital probe thermometer (i think ppl call them candy thermometers).
my regimen is 11 mg estradiol enanthate stabbed into my butt every 14 days. im planning on getting a blood test in 3 months and adjusting. p sure ill have to up the dose bc im 6’ and 200 lbs. prob gonna try to add progesterone in 6 months to a year even tho the studies on that haven’t been too promising in it helping transfems. prog can actually be pretty cheap if you DIY and mix a powder with coconut/cocoa oil and take it rectally.
Do know that the intensity of the mental changes vary between different people. I know some people who did have big changes, and some who didn’t. I don’t have a concrete explanation for this.
I remember seeing recommendations of other places for injections, explained by the risk of damaging a nerve that runs in the glutes. But I also remember that there’s a safe zone? Take care.
hmmmmm…
Anyway, unlimited feminisation upon [she/her, they/them]'s of the Hexbear.
edit: added they/them
if you inject in the upper, outer quadrant you avoid the sciatic nerve
yeah, that place is supposed to be safe
(where is the emote for estradiol to pair with
to send estradiol to the comrades)
Is there a gender therapist for a minute community here? Why am I sad that I wasn’t included here…?!
I guess I have to change my pronouns now… how is Hexbear the only thing that ever moved me down the pipeline?
Oh, sorry! I should have included they/them from the start, my bad
I get why you didn’t because not all they/them people would want that (especially AFAB enbies) but it just gave a push to experiment that I hadn’t been willing to take before
