I know this probably isn’t how the human body works, but I still find this super funny

      i keep selecting “male” on the form every time i get my blood work done, because the results include a column which shows the “reference value”, and it will never stop being funny to me that both my values are approximately an order of magnitude outside of their expected range

      • yes a lot, then lowered, estrogen overdoseee

        recently i have result 2151 pg but it was because i just touched gel with left hand i give nurse right hand but she did not find vein, so well… left hand got wrong results but i used chosen name this time

          Aha. I’ve heard of that problem with gel. That’s why I like injections so much, they’re actually really hard to fuck up…
          Whatever works best for you tho!

          Good that you got to use your chosen name. Proud of ya Erin 🩷

          That reminds me that I need to do my injection today…

              Yeah, needles can be scary, especially at first…
              But, as you get more practice using them, you can eventually become a needlemancer and then they listen to you :3

                  there also vendor who do estradiol enanthate in insulin pens

                  Huh, I’ve heard of people filling insulin syringes from an EEn vial for SubQ injection…
                  No idea they made pre-filled ones too!

                  overall diy injectables is very hard to get

                  Really? I thought injectables would actually be the easiest to get DIY, because you don’t need a lot and it’s just a small vial…but I guess gel/patches could also work DIY.

                  Aha. I see…
                  I’m sorry to hear that Erin 🫂. I’m sorry you have to live in such a place, especially right now…
