SleepyCatten (referred for ME/CFS, but it's probably P-HSD arc)3d ago

~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 😅

Since we've been asked about EUn a few times(including by someone w/ an email we can't reply to):
Future plans include Undecylate injections, but we're focusing on getting our EEn right for now. The next batch will be EEn only, with some smaller EUn batches coming afterwards.

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 🩹

SleepyCatten (referred for ME/CFS, but it's probably P-HSD arc)Apr 24

~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

Need help injecting your estradiol? We now have a guide with detailed instructions and pictures on our site.
The guide teaches you how to do SubQ injections into your thigh, a method that's safe, simple and (from our own experience) works well with a fear of needles.

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.

My understanding is that monotherapy requires a larger dose of injectables. Like physically more liquid.

I've heard of people doing it in their thighs. However from what i know. Doing it in the Gluteus Maximus (butt muscle) should be better.
The more muscle mass should help absorb the larger amount of liquid.
And work well with the release time of the ester.

That's how trans men's monotherapy works here.

Now there's some complications for DIY:
- You'll need a much larger and longer needle.
- There's some important nerves here you really don't want to hit.
- Harder to do on your own.
- Butt soreness might be worse for you.
- Getting a longer release ester might be difficult to find.

Ideally our monotherapy should be a once-a-month thing. Like how trans men have it here.

It would fit neatly into the ovulation stuff, i talked about before too.

Been thinking about monotherapy more and more.

Trans men get testosterone monotherapy.

There's different risk to high estrogen levels compared to testosterone. Estrogen in by itself usually isn't enough on prescribed doses to suppress testosterone production. That's why we get antiandrogens.

There's already risks and side effects of taking antiandrogens. I'm wondering if i would feel better on monotherapy and ditch the antiandrogens for good.

Have you been on estrogen+antiandrogens and are now on monotherapy. Felt any differences?
