Cigarettes and alcohol are both carcinogenic.
And can both lead to breast cancer.

Something one needs to be aware of when on HRT and growing out your breasts. That you're increasing your risk of this type of cancer, besides the ones they already cause.

Of course, growing out your breasts increases your risk of breast cancer to begin with by virtue of having larger breasts.

Cigarettes or the nicotine in them, can mess with your estrogen intake.
Nicotine reduces hunger, which can be an issue if you're trying to feminize and your body isn't getting the nutrients to work with.

While alcohol can mess with your liver's ability to metabolize the estrogen in your body, skewing your hormone levels. As it's focusing on the alcohol.
Alcohol can increase enzymes that convert your testosterone to estrogen.
It might be tempting to booze up, to get your estrogen up but it's not going to give you enough estrogen to do anything with and you'll still have testosterone-dominance in your body without proper medications.

Some trans-specific things to consider with these drugs.
Generally avoiding these is best for best results with your HRT.

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.

Ovulation and the menstrual cycle not being consider for transgender women is strange.

Your knee-jerk reaction might be something like: "What? I don't have any eggs inside of me!"

It's not about the egg cells.
We're interested in the hormonal changes, that come with the menstrual cycle.

Right now it seems everyone got their own idea of where your hormone levels should be at.
Some use the numbers from menopausal cis women, others get them from the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, some might even take an average of the entire menstrual cycle and say that's good enough.

It makes everything very confusing and hard to digest.
Which numbers are right? Might be tricky to answer.

One could assume that taking a single large monotherapy dose, once a month would be enough.
But if one doesn't have ovaries or a uterus, would this make sense?
Simulating a menstrual cycle when one cannot menstruate.

There are cis women without ovaries and uterus, maybe they have the right levels for us? However, they too would be subject to similar issues, regarding where hormone levels should be at.

Women's bodies aren't this hyper complicated thing but women's health is often an afterthought and more research would be appreciated.

The unfortunate reality for DIY is that you'll need crypto to buy it.
You're lucky if you can get it without but for our purposes, we'll assume you want to order online and require it.

To get crypto, you'll need to convert your FIAT(real money) to crypto(fake money
​​).

I haven't gone through setting up a crypto wallet for myself yet.
If that's of interest, i could share here.

If you live in the EU, services for exchanging FIAT-to-Crypto are required to
Know Your Customer, which means you'll need to send them a valid ID of yours, before you can exchange.
I don't know if this is true for other parts of the world.

Prefer crypto wallets you have control over, there's a lot of scams happening with wallet websites and well... crypto in general.
​​

Get Bitcoin over other cryptos, as it's accepted everywhere.
Add enough for your current orders. Crypto is still at that perpetual stage of
only have as much as you're comfortable losing.

The transfer of crypto is slow and can take a while, hours to multiple days(depending on the site).
Paying with crypto is usually a lot faster.

Remember to take screenshots of the crypto transfer receipt when you're paying for HRT.
If something goes wrong, you have an easy way to confirm that the crypto was sent.

A small introduction to the unfortunate world of crypto.
