de-electrochemistry — Ooh, yeah, baby! This right here is gonna make the last three days worth it. A fat syringe full of clear, medical-grade, Federally-backed estrogen. Aqueous estradiol valerate, to be precise.

dubois-depressed — What happens when I inject myself with estrogen?

de-electrochemistry — Oh, no. No, no, no. Don't tell me you forgot what estrogen does. Estrogen. Remember? Uh...anticistamines? Feminephrine?

de-encyclopedia [Hard: Success] — You haven't forgotten. Generally speaking, patients undergoing hormone replacement treatments will experience a variety of physiological and mental changes. Drier skin, growth of breast tissue, weight redistribution, decrease of body hair growth, shifts in facial fat and musculature. Emotional changes vary wildly between individuals, but are often reported to be "intense".

de-electrochemistryBzzt. Wrong. Estrogen is like junk, baby. A calm, soothing, smooth-like-butter body high. A referral letter from two medical professionals and a couple of shed tears in a therapist's chair are the only things keeping every sucker on the street from turning into an E-junkie. Getting it is hard; stopping after you've had your first sweet shot is even harder. This is serious shit. And now it's all yours. Shoot it up!

anticistamines

holy shit lmao

Unironically, recreational estrogen should be legal.

If I want to keep twink death at bay for a few more years, then by all means let me.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago

Yes!!!!! Boys should have access to estrogen so they can feel pretty!

Lmao no actual medical knowledge on what elevated estrogen levels do in men but it sounds cute!

Hey, at least this version of complete denial is positive and fun unlike transmaxxxers

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

transmaxxers are negative and bad, but sometimes very funny

[–] [email protected] 53 points 1 year ago

Yeah I drop E

[–] [email protected] 48 points 1 year ago

there's enough trans-egg energy to power us through climate change in this comment

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I remember seeing some old copypasta of Joe Rogan in thigh highs and cat ears talking about microdosing estrogen but I can't be bothered to find it rn

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That sounds incredible

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Try getting cross-faded on spironolactone and estrogen, that shit's bomb.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

The US government's war on drugs is trying to keep this from you, but once you've tried cyproterone acetate, you'll never want to go back

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

i got crossfaded in the normal sense and apparently someone said that i had the voice of an angel while doing so 🤔

so unironically yes

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 year ago

Then we could also like recreationally paint our nails too 💅

Genuinely. Like for real real. Ive been on HRT for 4 years and it still feels like getting high. When I did the bi weekly shots I was so effected by the estrogen that it impeded my ability to drive. I feel so good after my injections yall dont even know

Shooting estrogen and immediately forgetting how to parallel park.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm just really sensitive to it. When I get below ~100 on my levels I get pretty bad depression symptoms. I lose awareness and comfort in my body. When I take the shot it gives me that comfort back. So I go from being separate from my body to in touch with it. That sudden awareness was jarring and took time to acclimate to. Its not the estrogen itself but my bodies reaction to it. Didn't consider the woman driving memes when I wrote this.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Probably entirely a placebo, but hell yeah

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

When my levels get below 100 I get depression symptoms. When I take the shot they go away. Generally the higher my estrogen is the better I feel but the difference between 100 and 400, current peak and trough, is really noticeable.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

This reminded me of that Onion article that was basically "Ladies, it's time we admit to men that we just love how abortions feel" and went on to describe it as essentially inducing orgasm.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Serious question: Recreational estrogen when taken like that would probably fuck with your body's natural hormone production, right? That sounds really unhealthy

[–] [email protected] 50 points 1 year ago

There are many, many reasons why the OP is a bad idea. It's not worth trying to analyse it through a serious lens.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

yeah if you take it in small doses it actually can increase your T and even cause balding. you need to talk to a doc and make a plan if youre trying to do anything beyond typical mtf or ftm hrt. i know plenty of enbies for example that went on full E to get tits then stopped once development was done and hormones went back to normal. but always try to get in with a doc before trying any of this, you need to be monitored, its important.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

but always try to get in with a doc before trying any of this

Bold of you to assume doctors know fuck shit about regular transitioning, let alone what should happen for unusual amounts and timings. I have had to educate my doctor and endocrinologist every time I start seeing a new one. It is infurating.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

yeah you should be going to ones that have a lot of experience with this. i personally drove like 7 hours back and forth to get my first appointment, though telehealth is way more common now and afaik there are some good options.

Crushing up all my estradiol pills with a little pestle and snorting them

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I read pestle as pesto and now I can't get the image of the world's dustiest caprese salad out of my head

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

They’re trying to turn you into a woman with ~~Impossible whopper~~ caprese salad!! alex-aware

Don't knock it unless you've tried it, I guess.

My girl who is on pellets, I got her to snatch a cheeky sublingual as a bit.
