I'm glad to know the injection itself isn't dangerous. I don't know if you've read the other comments on this account, but this is a vial I brewed myself, so I think it does have quite a bit of potential to go wrong. I'm mostly worried that I'm injecting something I shouldn't be.

cause the hormones to not work or something

TBH this is a bigger fear than infection for me. But if anything, I'm probably injecting too much estrogen.

Thank you. I think I'll be fine next time, I just needed to be more prepared to ignore how it felt. Counting would probably help

I finally did an injection for the first time. I did it through the stomach - I got most of it in there, but I chickened out at the last second because it started feeling tingly and I panicked. In hindsight, it was probably the alcohol causing a reaction, which is probably fine.

You can probably tell by reading my other posts that I'm very paranoid about something going wrong, which didn't help, because I got so nervous after doing it that it got harder to breathe, which made me think something went wrong... But after a few hours, I'm pretty sure it went well. Now I just have to hope it works, because it's really out of my hands now.

I've just finished sterilizing my first vial. It looks completely clear when still. I'm pretty sure the little specks I see when I shake it now are just tiny bubbles. (I really hope so, anyway...)

I should probably wait until tomorrow to inject, since injecting something that was just in 240°F temperatures doesn't sound wise.

It's like the girliest snowglobe...

I did the water test, and the bottles were labeled correctly. So nothing wrong on that front, at least. The EEn has dissolved to the point where I can only see little specks when I shake up the bottle. Hoping it finishes over the weekend.

That makes way more sense than what I was thinking... I was imagining dropping water into a cup of oil and a cup of alcohol, but I suppose the reverse would be way easier. I might try that later just to make sure I got it right.

Assuming I did it right, then yes. Getting things into the vial was a bit finicky, but the steps were rather straightforward. I think I had more trouble with the metal cap than anything else. I had to use a flat screwdriver to pry it off in several places over the course of a few minutes. If you're not gentle enough, you might not be able to crimp it back on.

Thanks for answering my first comment a few weeks ago, by the way. I was worried someone else would see the package and get suspicious, but it just had FedEx info on it.

Well, I put everything in the vial and sealed it. If it dissolves properly by Monday, I'll sterilize it in a pressure cooker because I'm too lazy to do it properly.

I've never taken any medicine by injection before, let alone something I've made myself. And I honestly have no idea what happens if it goes wrong.

Actually, the caps are labeled 51 and 53. Looking at the website, these seem to be MCT and Benzyl respectively.

I'm just really paranoid about somehow mixing them up and injecting a bunch of alcohol. But I guess I'll risk my life trusting the stickers, lol

How do I tell the MCT Oil and Benzyl Alcohol apart? I was planning on just using smell, but both of the bottles smell like alcohol.

I saw people talking about using a drop of water, but I'm not sure how to go about doing that.

How do I remove the metal cap from an empty vial? This feels like it should be the easy part.
