It’s usually best to moderate with a local account from my experience

It increases the risk of breast cancer

Orally I typically see people take 100mg to 200mg. I’ve also seen 300mg, but that’s less common. Advice on transdermal prog is purely a DIY thing and what I’ve heard about dosing there is 6mg-12mg.

Mostly people take these doses once everyday, usually right before they go to bed. Some people “cycle” progesterone which means they have breaks. Some people might do two weeks of prog and then then two weeks of no prog, and I’ve heard cis women who take five days of prog and then two days of no prog.

Prog does not have any fancy guidelines for us to follow so a lot of the advice around it is anecdotal.

Edit: Oh yeah I should mention I do transdermal prog, 12 mg once a day before going to bed. With transdermal be sure to apply to the breasts, unlike with estradiol which should never be applied to the breasts.

Edit edit: Also, it’s generally recommended to take it rectally rather than orally. Most oral prog pills can be taken rectally.

Værsågod! Og se der ja, nord.pub konto!

360ish to 740ish+. 360+ with blockers and then often you need 740+ to block testosterone without a blocker

Det er ikke laget noen communities der, men adminen føler ikke det er nødvendig med tanke på at det finnes fra før. De ønsket ikke å splitte ting opp.

Your endos instructions aren’t good unless you’re also taking pills every four hours. You should be taking the blood tests when your levels are at their lowest, right before your next test. Maybe less important on blockers, but still

Edit: To elaborate it might be perfectly fine if your endo is good and they take it into account that it’s not at trough, so definitively do as they say

That sounds good! Twice a day would be a big upgrade. I think the half life is such that once a day is never sufficient unless you take sky high doses which would be uncomfortable for other reasons. I don’t remember the half life at the top of my head but it’s two digit and measured in hours, and not days like with injections

Then your blood test was higher than trough

Were you applying all the spray doses at the same time each day? Ideally you space each spritz across the day. F.ex you might do one spritz at 7 in the morning and then one at 7 at night, or three spritzes with 8ish hours between them.

With things like gel and sprays hours do matter because of the half life, but isn’t late evening after midday? Blood tests are ideally at your lowest usual levels, right before your next dose. We call this trough.

Let me refer you to a friend of mine: https://tube.blahaj.zone/w/1PcND2ahHpQC51HMGr7RLD

Basically if you want a smaller less scary looking needle pick subcutaneous, but pick intramuscular to lessen the odds that you’ll experience any allergic reactions. It’s not uncommon for the outer skin to react a bit to some of the ingredients in injections. I picked subq and it has worked really well for me, so maybe try that first and then go for intra if you do experience a reaction. If you’re very comfortable with needles just go for intramuscular from the get go.

Also I will say, for DIY, it’s very freeing to be able to adjust your own dosages. I have to question why they’ve allowed you to have such low estradiol levels for an entire year.

That sucks, may your E rise high and your boobs grow large 🙏

Jeg lurer på om jeg hørte veldig feil. Hva tror du han sier på 1:05? er der jeg trodde han kanskje sa noe homofobisk

Haha, har vært lenge siden jeg har hørt på disse. Synd med den tilfeldige homofobiske kommentaren midt i der da. Badekaret til Pelle er en av favorittene mine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4dGW0jHbuo

It’s perfectly valid to not wanna tell anyone, and it’s also good to be proud of who you are and where you’ve gotten. I don’t really know that there’s a right answer here, it’s probably one of those things that you need to feel out, kinda like him with your cervix.

And my partner is awesome and did the actual shot for me

Aww, that’s sweet! Congratulations!
