it is so fucking awesome to get a whiff of myself and not hate it

Preach sister, preach 🙏

not to mention girl smell from other girls

I noticed that. Once I was at a crosswalk and there was a girl sitting about 10m away from me. The wind was blowing from her direction towards me. And I could smell her, a lot.
It surprised me, because I smelled something and I was like: "Wait a minute...that smells like me when I don't shower for too long 😆"
And it wasn't as strong as boysmell, but I was still like girl, shower 😭

I notice how people smell now, all the time. Mainly boys 🤣. It's such a strong smell and tbh, when it's not coming from me (finally, thank god), it's actually really attractive 😆

It was a great day, honestly. I'm still grateful (and a bit surprised 😆) that my bf administered my prog for me. I was definitely in no state to do it myself 🤣

Such a euphoric day and experience 💜

You're right...I'll get a proper sharps container. Even though I'm very careful with everything glass, it's best to be really careful with this kind of stuff.
Also, a proper sharps container can probably hold way more than a little glass jar.

It’ll also take forever to completely fill it but once i do the lid “permanently” closes (not if you break into it but like why??)

Huh, that's a nice little bit of extra safety. I like that a lot!

Thank you Brooke. I'll make a trip to the pharmacy 🩷

This is super informative. Thanks so much girl 🩷

I'll have to do some exploring on my own then 😆
Thanks again!

i sometimes post a lot of dumb stuff too

Hey, your posts aren't dumb at all! Moar memes and leg pics 😆

it surely helps to understand better what's actually happening in other people's lifes. is very interesting.

Awww 🥺
Thanks a lot! It helps a bunch to write down my thoughts, feelings and experiences. Even when other people can read them. In fact, even more so 😂

better than netflix

Come on now 🤣

keep posting!

I probably will. Thanks so much for the kindness ♥️

Also, equally as important but i dont see anyone else that showed theirs, a sharps container!

Yes! Totally forgot.
To be honest, I use a glass jar for used ampules, needled and syringes...I'm just slowly collecting waste and planning to bring it to a pharmacy, to dispose of it safely...

I keep a sharpie in there too to mark the amount of shots ive taken from one vial

Omg, that is a great idea! This could help people using vials a lot! Thanks for the tip, I'll pass it along ❤️

hopefully will need nothing more than EEn and paraphernalia in the future :3

Rooting for you! Monotherapy is great, I just like the peace of mind I get with cypro.

If I may, how's prog treating you?

It's treating me quite well I'd say :3

How long have you been on E when you started with it?

My endo prescribed it to me at 3 months HRT. i may be lying, but I'm pretty sure that starting prog "too early" is a myth. You should see what E does by itself and then try prog, to see which effects it's responsible for, but I personally don't believe that prog early can mess up breast development.

Asking because I'm still wondering if I want to add it in... Would need to get some from unofficial sources, though

Oof. I know how expensive DIY prog can get (I checked some sites because I wanted a stash of prog specifically for the oral drunk feeling. It's freaking expensive 😭)
I'd send you some, since I have it so cheap, but I have a very limited supply due to my prescription...I'm sorry 😢

Oh, just saw your other post, so I guess sex life part is answered :3

Don't know with certainty if it's the prog, but my sex life has improved dramatically in the past couple of days. My bf can't keep up with me and he's sleeping while I type this 😛

Do you feel other effects from prog?

I think my mood is improving slightly. Just after starting prog (again), I went through some stuff...now it's getting a lot better. Probably not the prog tho
Also, today I just can't stop admiring my chest in the mirror 😆. I've heard prog can help with that, but I'm not completely convinced it's because of it. They're growing so well tho 😭
They've been sore the past couple of days...

Sorry for the long answer, but prog is freaking interesting. It may just be my new favorite drug (hormone)

It's so true tho 😭

Good that you're keeping it away from the kids! Glass vials...yeah.

Also, glad that you're doing subcutaneous (insulin needles)! It's definitely less of a hassle than intramuscular.

Good hiding spot! ♥️

Yes. In my country, the doctors go crazy with CPA...
I'm planning on switching to 12.5mg soon. With my E levels, I could probably even drop it.

I am on Matrix! I'll check the 196 space out, thanks :3

That's good! Good kitty :3

rubs

Huh, that's a good and organized way to do it. I'm not very organized 😆

isopropyl

Aha! Fellow isopropyl user 🤣
I know you're probably not supposed to, but I just use a tissue doused in isopropyl before the injection and also after, to disinfect post-injection? Idk, I'm kinda dumb honestly :3

I kinda actually enjoy grabbing a piece of everything I need to get ready tho. It's my ritual.
Also, we use 1ml glass ampules in my country and the pop every time is just...mwah!

I'm doing it again tomorrow (every 3 days) and already looking forward to it 😆

I get it. Not judging at all, sorry if it sounded that way.

Best of luck girl!

Oh 🥺
I'm sorry that you have to hide your meds...

But, wishing you the best! Injections are awesome 💉🏳️‍⚧️

Not sure, I wasn't exactly excited for sex, and masturbated mostly because the evil hormones told me too

I get that 🫂
The evil hormones sucked, but we're on the right track now, sister 🩷

Mostly gives me the desire to hug someone!?

Yesss, the desire for physical closeness! It's so nice tho. I enjoy it a lot. Not weird at all!
Please don't be lonely. I'm sure you'll find the right person one day. This is selfish, arrogant and also cliché, but if I could do it...I believe anyone can

I mostly need more friends who understand

I feel you 🥺
Umm. We both need more friends 👉👈
do you have Matrix by any chance? 😅

Anyway, little ramble over lol

Girl, ramble away, absolutely nothing wrong with that. Some of us already do (I'm guilty, lol)

I just wanted to say, at 2.5 months, you're still early. Your orgasms and libido will definitely change with more time on HRT. And hopefully, your dysphoria fucks off...
I'm rooting for you girlie ♥️

rubber stopper

I've always wondered what using multi-use vials was like...
But I love the pop ampules make so much 😆

disinfecting again after the injection is new to me

Yeah, it's probably excessive, but I do it mostly to wipe away some of the blood and it feels wrong to just do it with a not sterile tissue - so I put isopropyl on it and disinfect the site also. I'm just weird like that

minus the desire for pregnancy, and the boyfriend :P

I'm sorry 😭

I'm glad it's coming back for you too tho! Having no libido is weird

I'm so sorry girl 🫂
That's rough. And stupid. Legislators are stupid 😭

if order it from outside - prison up to 20 yr

For bupropion tho?! That's actually insane

but hormones(e, prog, aa) are without prescribtion

At least there's that 😄

Jesus Christ girl, I'm so, so sorry...
I hope you get to move to a better country someday. I'm so sorry Erin...

Sending you at least virtual hugs 🫂

It is high indeed, and that's my trough.
I had a trough of 110pg/ml with 5mg EV every 4 days, so now I do every 3.

I must say, I'm feeling the best I have so far.
More energetic than ever, happy most of the time, libido is good, as I mentioned.

If this was Premarin, I'd probably be dead by now. But this is estradiol valerate, which is bioidentical, so I'm still here and doing well. I have an amazing endo taking care of me too ❤️
