I was talking to my hairdresser last week and she loves injections. Guess she forgets enough that pills everyday are too much for her. I’m taking mine in the morning, evening and then progesterone right before bed. So, three times a day I have to take pills. Guess I’m curious what your thoughts about the differences are and if it’s just about convenience, as the injections are only once a week, or are there any other benefits one way or the other.
I heard if you take too much estrogen your body reverts it back into testosterone and you go backwards. Arg all this is so frustrating sometimes. Sorry. I’m glad to hear this, now I want to know more cause I really dislike spiro. i asked my plume provider about injections but they only gave me onfo on how to inject and how needles work. Not really what I was looking for from them.
I haven’t heard anything about that, but so far my T seems very well suppressed. Random erections are gone, ejaculate is thinner and clear, breast soreness, nipples have started changing, etc.
Ya it’s very possible that info is old, outdated, and wrong. Now I’m really interested. Like I said I really don’t like spiro. And ya I didn’t start progesterone until after 18 months. I was on super low does though so I didn’t even get to an a cup. When I switched to plume a month ago they put me on 100mg prog before bed. I sleep great now it’s nice. Feels like I’m felling out a bunch now too.
I’m in Florida, wait times are long, prescriptions are expensive, and they can refuse to fill it anyway, so I have had to educate myself with resources such as diyhrt.wiki. My knowledge isn’t necessarily comprehensive.
Ya all my knowledge comes second hand as well. So, I’m always asking others that have real world experience with it. Plume was super easy and nice to get my prescription from but I haven’t gotten any info from there that was not just surface level. You know?
Testosterone can convert to estradiol via aromatase, however there’s no metabolic pathway in the other direction.
