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

It should have been done sometime yesterday, but other stuff took priority. On the plus side, it was a simple, painless injection, despite our thumb-splint-wrist-supports reducing our hand dexterity in certain tasks (in exchange for support and strength in others).

Nearing the end of our final estradiol enanthate vial now. Really need to get a wiggle on about finding an ideal way to switch from weekly enanthate to fortnightly undecylate. It would really help if any of the simulators online were based on recent-ish data from trans+ fem folx across the world, and/or had a good option for crosstapering from one ester to another. (Technically estrannai.se does have the latter, but the simulation data seems wrong and the way it autoformats is pretty shite.)

Due to the number of other tasks that needed doing before the end of the evening on 29/05/2026, as well as desperately needing a nap, the injection for 29/05/2026 has been postponed until 30/05/2026.

We apologise for the interruption to the regular injection posts.

About to enter my guinea pig era:

With doctor's approval, I'm gonna try to see if taking 800mg cimetidine will do anything on the lactation front. I can't get my hands on domperidone in the states; and even if I could, both it and metoclopramide (which was my doc's first suggestion) are problematic for "reasons".

Uneventful, which was great, as we're exhausted and far too warm 🩷

Managed to do it early for once (!!!) about an hour ago or so without any major issues: just general tiredness, lack of focus, executive dysfunction etc. Must have picked a near-ideal site.

On a tangent, for reasons we won't go into right now, we're not sure whether we're going to keep doing these weekly injection posts any more, or at least for much longer. We know we've been doing them for a couple of years now, but... yeah...

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 🩹
