To add, they're like b cup apparently but it don't look like b cups at all.

I'm already a retard, I don't want to be a fat retard.

I've tried weight cycling before but I didn't notice any results from it. Gained and lost 12kg over half a year

I’ve been doing Bica tablets and EEn injections for two years now, and am pretty happy with it. But Bica is getting kind of expensive, so I’m considering switching to EEn monotherapy. Is two years enough time to switch over, or will I get worse results from switching too early?

No you can't do mono with that. How's your progress been so far tho?

What's your bmi, are you a skinny twinklet? Also, unironically, change something in your routine, people always seem to get growth spurts after mixing things up, eg. ester, dosage, frequency, diet, job, etc. I had one when I quit E for a couple of weeks, and am having one now after quitting heavy squats a few weeks ago. After 3+ years I'd say ya gotta change something sis. Good luck.

What dosage are you Eening at, because a normal dosage is already monotherapy. Also 2 years is not too early for anything, most people start with full-dose mono from the beginning.

someone once told on here a few months ago that spiro doesn't lower testosterone YES IT DOES I HAVE PROOF IT LOWERED MINE I TOLD YOU YOU WERE WRONG!!!

Some

BODY ONCE TOLD ME

how do i get a female hormone panel done privately if i'm in the uk. feel like most places will just tell me to fuck off if i'm a hopeless case manmoder

1200 pmol/L a few hours before injection, maybe I should do them less than once per week, maybe

Not much besides nipples swelling a bit and sensitive to the touch

2mg per week. I’d probably bump that up a little if I dump the bica, I’m terrified of getting T back.
Just book it and show up. If they tell you to fuck off you’re getting your money back anyway, but I’ve no idea why they’d do that because it’s extremely unprofessional. I’m in Sweden and just get estradiol tests by booking them, nobody says anything.

I've been taking 4 quarters of a 2mg pill of estradiol valerate 4 times per day buccally. Do you think it would be worth it for fat redistribution purposes to only eat meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) right after taking the estrogen, or is it too short of a time scale to matter?

probably won’t make a difference, how long on hrt? what are your levels? those will be the biggest influence desu

Okay, thanks. Not long on HRT, haven't had a blood test yet. I'm just too impatient, I guess.

Shouldn’t eat or drink for thirty minutes after taking a pill, or it might not absorb properly.

fat “redistribution” is really fat reprogramming. so what you need are good consistent levels over years to reprogram the new fat cells to put new fat in the places you want. the old fat you have won’t “move” you’ll need to lose it now and then regain new fat. that’s why people do weight cycling. lose the old and gain the new over and over

2mg Een per week is a certified hondose. A good weekly dose for mono would be more like 5mg, and then you wouldn't need the AA and you'd finally be getting a correct amount of E.

im dumb. are you taking in total 2mg of e sublingual? or 8mg?
also yes it's not recommended to eat for at least 15min before and after taking your pills

In total, 2mg per day. A quarter of a 2mg pill is 0.5 mg, so I take 0.5 mg 4 times per day.
Good point. I was already doing that, so I forgot to mention it, but thanks for clarifying in case I actually wasn't doing it.
Yeah, that makes sense. I was thinking that food takes an hour before it's being turned into calories, and fat is constantly being burned and added, so I thought maybe if you took the pill and ate at close times, the fat gained from that meal might fit into more feminine fat patterns. But I don't know much about anatomy or physiology so this is probably pseudoscience or based on misconceptions.

it takes 7+ years for fat cells to change. it’s a long process, just don’t go ana mode or binge mode and you’ll be okay. stay consistent

2mg seems fine when combined with bica. I’ve had good results. If I go mono I’ll probably bump it up to 5mg though.
When I get tested I’m pretty consistently around 380 pmol/L, which is pretty average for cis woman. So since bica takes care of basically all my T, I think the dose is not a hondose.

Got it, thanks.

I've read that sublingual administration is the fastest absorbed method, then buccal (between the cheeks and the gums), then sublabial (between the lower lip and the gums) is the slowest method. People here say it doesn't really matter which one you use, but wouldn't slower absorption imply that levels are steadier but with lower peaks and higher troughs? Is that wrong, or is it just that that doesn't really matter either?
Picrel is just an example of a generic timeline taken from an information page on pharmacokinetics. It's not meant for estradiol specifically.
boomer.org/c/p4/c07/c0703.php

And, to expand on that, would the effect not be more pronounced if you administered multiple small doses per day instead? Because maybe if the absorption is slow enough, maybe the levels from the previous administration haven't completely tapered off yet, so the next administration would lead to slightly higher levels, even.

Serious question

I've been on hrt for 1.5 Years + and currently using Astrovials 7mg een every 10 days since august. Overall I am happy with the gains BUT do I just up my dose to 10mg een + prog and then get fatter to get INSANE gains like a pregnant woman?

Also I didn't clarify but I don't intend to do this for the rest of my life. Maybe for 3-6 months?

bumping again
