~5 mg (~0.10 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 💉

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

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 😅

just had to fire my psychiatrist before we even really got started.

found out he misgendered me during a call with my psychologist. when she corrected him, he didn't apologize. he got defensive and said he "never talked about pronouns" with me, like that somehow makes it ok?? also, I clearly stated to him during our first appointment that I am a trans woman, and have gender dysphoria.

that's not a miscommunication. thats a provider who isn't safe for trans patients. and im not gonna spend my limited energy educating someone who should already know better.

finding affirming mental healthcare is hard enough. we shouldn't also have to fight just to be seen correctly by the people that are supposed to help us.

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!!!
