~6 mg (~0.12 mL; 50 mg/mL concentration) estradiol enanthate injected intramuscularly into the vastus lateralis in our left thigh using our Union Medico auto-stabber and a 25 mm 25G TotalDose low dead space needle 💉

Overly tired, overstimulated / overloaded, and struggling this evening, and doing the injection with 2 layers of hand supports (compression gloves and thumb splints), so it's little wonder it took us even longer to do and that our leg didn't want to let us pull the bleeping needle out! No blood when we finally managed it though, and no pain... though that may also be due to other meds we're on 😅

Why 6 mg instead of 5? Because we needed more estradiol for the coming week and fuck our gatekeeping NHS gender clinic 🖕

Didn't even feel the needle go in, or when we pushed down the syringe, or pulled it out. Did a triple check to make sure we'd actually injected. Teeniest dot of blood came out. Couldn't have asked for an easier or better injection 🩹

~5 mg (~0.10 mL; 50 mg/mL concentration) estradiol enanthate injected intramuscularly into the vastus lateralis in our left thigh using our Union Medico auto-stabber and a 25 mm 25G TotalDose low dead space needle 💉

Felt it go in, but wouldn't describe it as pain really: more like a mild moment of pressure. Teensiest amount of blood leakage, but very easy injection, especially for a left leg 🩹

Late one tonight, as lots of other tiring stuff took priority, but it was an easy and painless injection at least

Only the teeniest dot of blood after. Not even a blob. Painless injection (insertion and removal) too.

Small bleed after. No pain or discomfort though, but that's the norm for us now.

Didn't feel anything at all...

A few hours later than planned 😅

We did the injection just before midnight, so it still just about counts as being done on the correct day  

It was actually a pretty decent injection, considering we've been up since 0630 UTC, which was, erm, about, counts on fingers, fails, uses calculator, about 17.5 hours ago.

That may not sound like a long time ago for younger folks, but it's worth remembering that we're a burnt-out, 42-year-old, AuDHD mess, so the fact that we can type this right now is impressive...

... and entirely due to some choice medication choices earlier on 😅

No injection pain, but did seemingly hit a small capillary again, probably because we're so beyond tired, so had a bit of a slow bleed, but nothing a fabric plaster couldn't stop 🩹

Almost falling asleep (like barely staying awake, but worse), but need to keep going, so caffeine and sugar it is!!!
