@vagina_museum My, the sith do love hoods, don’t they?

Hi, Masto! ‘Member me? 👉👈🥺

I’ve got a hormone levels question. I’m on injectable E (weekly subQ) and my mid-week level is 572 pg/mL. (Endo insists on testing midweek 🤷♀️)

Endo says this is too high/risky, wants to lower dose. I say “bah! I feel great and like what’s happening!” I had upped my dose slightly to stop feeling like unaliving myself and it worked.

Can anyone back me up? @Impossible_PhD @siege perhaps?

Thanks in advance! 💖

Sure thing, and thank you!

Weekly jab on Sunday, labs done on Thursday. 0.3ml of 100 mg/5ml EV. SubQ. This comes out to 7mg/week, up from 5mg originally Rx’d.

(Btw, have loved your segments on Tilly’s podcast)

Nope, I quit the biotin MV a good while back. Only other thing I take is a nightly oral 200mg prog tab. I quit my anti androgen 6 weeks ago per my endo cos I’d been on it 2 years. (My T was a mere 7 during this same test.)

(And thanks for the math adjust, I’m notoriously bad at it, lol)

@siege

I think the most disheartening thing ever is seeing well-meaning supporters place their faith in the same do-nothing institutions and parties that let fascism get such a foothold in this country.

Sharing memes and talking tough is so goddamn useless.

This is a lot like me as well. I had very strong emotions that just became a swirling storm inside me I couldn’t release, and everything I was “supposed to do” felt foreign, while I just fit so intuitively with women friends and feminine things. I transitioned later as well, and it’s been an enormous relief.

@Tattie @ria This is a vital part of the self-discovery process, imo. Once I became more “settled” in my identity, I revisited some things I’d shunned and found how they could still fit the “new” me.

@LunaCeleste @ArcanaMorgana DIY HRT is always an option. @Natasha_Jay might have some info on that.

@Oliviawerth Yes, girl. And if it wasn’t for online shopping… and masks that allowed me to get by on just my eyes…

@ria Illegal girls stand together. Lots of us in the Deep South.
