Concentration: 6.67mg/ml, estradiol hemihydrate

Hi, i received my blood test results after approximately one month of HRT via gel applied scrotally, 4mg per day (2mg every 12 or so hours). This was taken on 9th october right after my first morning dose of the day, and i started hrt on 12th of september. Should I increase my dosage? Because these levels don't look good.

Value Unit Min Max

E 241 pmol/L 43.3 146

T 7.5 nmol/L 5.72 26.1

hello, I'm gonna be starting estrogen soon and I wanted to avoid penile atrophy, I've decided that administration of testosterone gel is something I want to do. Buying it raw is way to expensive so I want to make my own, I am looking for recipes and specifically wanted to ask what kind of Testosterone Powered to use?? (cypionate enanthate....???)

thank you

Sup!

Made a second batch of gel.

Same ingredients,

better instructions.

Concentration comes out to about 4.6mg per pump of my dispenser, but that dose isn't quite enough for me.

Part of that for sure is me always needing higher estradiol dosages to sleep/feel ok etc, no matter the method of intake.

But just know if you try this recipe, lacking alcohol or traditional penetration enhancers, that you ***might*** need a bit more estradiol powder to achieve the same results.

(*No bloodtests to verify levels*)

(Planning to try upping this batch to 1.5g total E2 instead of just 1g and see.)

sTEPS

*see table below for exact quantities used*

*use a more sensitive scale for smaller quantities for better accuracy*

`Summary:` 1) added 50g Propylene Glycol 2) Added 10g Polysorbate 80 (Tween 80) 3) Added 1g Estradiol 4) Mixed with electric mixer (wisk), full dissolution, white ish liquid 5) Added 120ml MCT Oil, mixed, no precipitation 6) Added 120ml water (boiled, cooled to slightly warm by the time i got to it) Weak cloudy white "emulsion", seems to separate slowly, like vinaigrette 7) Added 3g citric acid 8) added 5g xanthan gum

### Table

Concentration

1000mg Estradiol / 311.2g = 3.21mg/g

*1 pump ~ 1.45g

1.45g * 3.21mg/g = ~4.6mg of E2/pump

This batch is more oily and slightly more "runny" rhan last one.

Last one had more water than mct oil and more xanthan gum.

Gonna tweak water to oil ratio again in 3rd batch down the line.

Gonna add 1g xanthan gum and 0.5g Estradiol to current batch.

That's about it, later!

Hi everyone, keeping it simple I want a little bit of breast growth and that is all . Herbal and supplements apparently are a complete waste of time and estrogen seems hard to get hold of at the moment and do not want it delivering anything to my home address. Is there anything I can get delivered to a drop off point? Or anything like that and I don't mind making gel from raw . Not sure what the best option are if any. Thanks all

I’ve been on the HRT estrogen gel for 2.5 months now, just one pump each night. I’m in peri post hysterectomy, so my hormones are out of whack anyway. Last night I skipped my dose and I feel a bit calmer today, but also quieter emotionally. I’ve also noticed my body shape has changed since I started the HRT. My hips and thighs are fatter. I need the HRT as it helps, but I’m not quite feeling myself when I’m on it either. It def changes my personality. I’ve also started getting my old acne back. it’s been so good in other ways. it’s removed my brainfog, fixed night sweats, gave me back my energy and my skin is smoother, no more dryness down below.

What changes did you ladies notice when you’re on it, vs off it, vs before you started? I’m not even sure which version of me I want to be at this point. The fatter hips and thighs is new for me. I’ve not read anywhere about fat thighs from this stuff.

I came here because hrt has become much harder for me to acsess and im running out of time. Im a trans woman, pre orchiectomy who is currently on EEN injections, monotherapy. I wanna learn how to make estrodial at home because i dont see any other options at the moment. Where do i start? How do i do it? What do i need to do this?

Hi I have been doing DIY for a long time on injectables but can't continue doing so because of a developed allergy. So now looking into starting to make my own transdermal gel/sprays.

I would appreciate any tips on where to source ingredients in sweden since our alcohol laws can make things a bit more annoying. Also any DMs on trustable sources for raws for be a great help!

listen man. the butt way doesn’t work for me. orally doesnt do shit. is a gel an alright alternative??? im not a trans woman anyway im not looking to be ultra super duper massive honkers feminine, but i just think my transition is missing prog at the moment. is gel more effective than orally? is it something widely available from homebrewers? im based in the uk. thank u gang

(edit; worded this very poorly it would seem. i just dont like putting things up there ya feel. not something i can commit to day to day. maybe done like 1-3 month stints on 100mg and 200mg respectively, but that was orally, so i don’t really know if i’ve seen its full potential yet. obviously yes i do want my breast growth to be the best it can, and to look as fem as possible, but im also VERY realistic about transition goals, so i try not to give myself expectations)

Has anyone in the UK/EU ordered off purple panda labs and have it successfully delivered to you?

I'm going to buy 180g of progesterone off there and would like to know peoples' experience with Purple Panda before I actually buy it.

Thank you. :))

I've been on hormones for nearly a year now and I'm hoping to give progesterone a go. I've heard suppositories are the way to go, but I'm having trouble finding anywhere that sells them. Anyone have any leads?

Long story short, my wife (mtf) was in America with me and was transitioning with Folx. Unfortunately our case for her citizenship got denied, she is originally from Vietnam and was forced to go back. She was unable to continue with Folx outside of America. She has since found medication, both estradiol and spiro, from small pharmacies. However, she was unable to find estradiol hemihydrate, only valerate. And the brand she got specifies to take orally, she used to take her old medication sublingually. Her levels were good at 6mg a day, and we wondering if with valerate she should increase/decrease dosage and whether or not to go oral or sublingual.

Additionally the options in Vietnam for HRT seem to be abysmal, atleast in the north. She has called every place online to no avail. Are there other options you would recommend? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, what are Some good quality spray bottles? Or what spray bottles have any of u used? Preferably one that doesnt need much maintenance

Some info first i have an adenoma(whichis supposed to be inactive but it had some growth, growth maybe due to the fact that it was taken with non contrast mri we will take it again next month, my prolactin around 27 pg/ml so its prolly not prolactinoma)
Anyways i made some estrogel at home 0.2%. Ive ben using 6 mg a day. It cost me like 70 dollars for a year of gel.
My doctor told me today that estrogel is back in stock in my country(its 1.5 mg per pump. 32 pumps per bottle 0.06%. Its also 25$ per bottle.)
Doctor talkin about some “its not reliable if u make it at home blablabla” what should i do? Buying and making estro is not against the law, selling it is and i dont sell.
My levels are 1000-1400 pg/ml at like 2 hours after applying and round 150 pg/ml after 12 hours.
I also take 12 cypro every 36hrs. I was on mono but my testesterone went up to around 76 pg/ml and i started having morning erections so i started using again
What should i do?

Note: Asking for my gf as she doesn't use reddit regularly.

Title.

Gf started prog at about 1 year on hrt for 100 days then stopped as she ran out and didn't have any money to buy more.

Planning on diy-ing prog using cocoa butter based suppositories soon and was wondering if there would be any significant breast growth after starting prog again at 2 years hrt.

Im planning on starting monotherapy with gel, and I want to maximize my chances of it working. I already know that scrotal aplication is better, and that taking a bath before also helps, but besides that I got nothing

Also im planning on applying 2 pumps (1g each) every 12h, applying one, and right after it dries applying the other, could this harm absorption? If yes, what's a good way to apply it?

Hi there,

I'm shopping around for supplies currently and I was wanting to know if there are readily available and relatively inexpensive options for specific volume pumps. I understand that airless bottles are going to be a bit more expensive, however I am looking at whatever options are currently available

i am staying in a major Central Asian city until mid-January. unfortunately, i've realized that my vial of estradiol will run empty before i depart. by any chance, does anyone here have experience with receiving shipments in a city such as Almaty, Bishkek, or Tashkent?

(she’s not the primary vendor!!) she deleted her account and i forgot to save the email she sent me of her local homebrewer she was going to help start me onto HRT and get me Estrogel!! i am really disappointed, i was prepared to buy off her and then randomly her account disappears and she deletes all her msgs so i cant even go back and find the info i need! i know she sold to other ppl in this sub before as i asked her for references to know if she was legit! but i didn’t save those either ugh, so if you know who she is or have bought from her or KNOW her supplier please contact me because i would LOVE to get in touch with the homebrewer and buy some gel! she did send me the supplier’s email but i’m so stupid i of course DIDN’T screenshot the actual essential info i needed… I’m desperate to begin HRT as i am 21 and really don’t want to waste any more time :( please don’t take this down! i’m not asking for people to comment any non-allowed info, just asking anyone to please DM me if you have details on this matter! thank you so much <3

I might be really stupid, but I often see people saying 4mg, or 5mg or however much is a good dose, but what does that actually mean? I thought at first it would mean 4mg of estradiol, but that seems like way too small a dose, when a 1% gel of 1 litre would make that 2.5ml of gel. Obviously its not 4mg of gel in general, right? What does the dosage actually mean, and what is a reasonable dose, as in how much of a litre of 1% gel should I be applying every day?

All

I’m now really struggling to find DHT cream in the UK.

Any advice? I have about 2 weeks worth left and running out of ideas fast :(

18NB, based in the uk rn. bought 4mg estradiol spray from a local vendor (not planning to use AAs). I've been on e for a little bit over a week now. when should I be doing a test for my levels? I've heard that they become stable after 2-3 months on injections but idk if it's the same for transdermal. should I do tests sooner?
