~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 💉

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!!!

Pretty sure we hit near a nerve on the way in, but that's why we have the auto-stabber: it doesn't care and doesn't stop 😅

Tiny bit of blood on the way out, even after releasing the Z-track hold with the other hand, but definitely not a bleeder like last week.

Taking a 'pam a few hours back certainly definitely helped 😏🤭

Had a perfect stab with no pain or even discomfort. However, the moment we pulled the needle out, whooooooooooosh with the blood!

This is a really good reminder that even when you've been literally doing injections for years, you can and will sometimes get a bleeder.

It's why it's recommended to always have something on hand to stop the bleeding, as it'll quickly stop (barring you having issues with clotting or taking certain meds).

And always have your medical plaster (aka bandaid) ready to go 🩹

Now we're thinking of the Republica song of that name lol 🤭

Das macht mir absolut Angst. Ich stelle mir zugegeben die Frage, wie lang es dauert, bis sie den GAC-Ban als Erfolg werten und es auf alle trans Personen ausweiten? Ebenso frage ich mich, wie lang es wohl dauern wird, bis diese Stufe der Diskriminierung bzw. Misshandlung von trans Personen in andere Länder überschwappt?

Per usual, used the IM method we learnt from the Plume guide. Got a perfect spot tonight: no pain going in or out, despite us being emotionally and mentally exhausted. Teeny spot o' blood, but quickly wiped and covered with a medical plaster.

Did it to this EP by Mekaloton.

No joy out of doing the injection tonight though. No euphoria. Just... nothing.
