After 4 years I'm back in the UK for a month. Here is a photo of me after 27 hours of travel.

@0 Experimenting can be good, try and check in with your body and how you are feeling after you change things.

You can try:
* Twice a day oral instead
* One oral, one boofed at night
* Both boofed at night
* Cycling every 15 days

Cycling can give you more dosing options or allow you to stockpile as well.

@sam No problem, I'm always happy for feedback if something isn't clear too

@nicolewd If you want higher levels of progesterone, yeah other methods will achieve that much better than oral dosing.

But because of the effects of progesterone's metabolites are desirable in their own right, you can make use of the first pass effects to generate higher levels of them to get a stronger effect.

And yeah Medroxyprogesterone Acetate is a progestin, and not the one you want to be taking.

@0 Do you feel you are getting any effect out of it?

Because if not it's probably worth trying other ways of taking it and seeing how they make you feel.

@categorille @ralismark Yeah, I've experimented with this and I'm going to try and get enough on a prescription to do 100mg twice a day oral and 100mg boofing at night.

I'm seeing a new doctor within a week and I've heard good things about her, but we will see.

@TheSunnyOne Its a standing offer that will always be open! 

@MxAlba I feel that non-binary identities are going to be even harder to have reflected back at you, because of the lack of cultural reference points for most people to grab on to and use.

I hope this gets better for you, friend 

The 12th annual international Gender Census 2025 is now open until at least 30th August 2025!

https://survey.gendercensus.com

It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.

So making the changes to the way you present and having people see that, is important to move this process forward and solidify a new identity. If you are stuck cis-moding, you are having a different identity reflected back at you, and it will hold back progress on solidifying a new identity, even making other identities seem off, or not real, etc. If making this change by yourself seems too much, then find a local trans group and hang out in person with them, inhabit the new you, or who you think the new you is, you may find that it changes as you construct it with others.

You've got this, and the community can help you as well!
