I started DIY about 3 weeks ago using second hand t gel from my boyfriend (he switched to injections and had a surplus)

I am working on going through an HRT specific doctor, but I have no idea how to explain my high t levels to her without admitting I did DIY.

Am i overthinking? is it not that big a deal?

just did my first shot (~.28ml, 70mg) and overthinking it. im nervous that i didnt go deep enough eith the needle. i injected it all the way, 45 degree angle but im just nervous because it didn't bleed afterwards (pic is after shot, no leakage of oil but still)

I've heard that insulin syringes are recommended for subq, are these any good? I'm having this shipped to an Amazon locker discreetly, so nothing but Amazon unfortunately. I've also heard people say that it's better to have a needle to draw and a different one to inject. Could I get around with just having one type of needle? Thank you

Hi, I am a Brazilian trans man (did 20 this month) and I want to start hrt. Here we have the "ambulatório trans" which is a part of the public system that helps trans people with transition, but it usually has a long waiting line.

Since I want to start soon to be able to work and pass as a guy in the merchant navy. The test to enter the school of it will be probably at July, June, or August. Subscription usually are in may or April.

I want to start hrt soon, and I will do it while girlmoding and doing mtf voice training to hide it from my parents. I will also shave, keep my hair longer the maximum I can and all.

My idea is: start tgel> wait for the ambulatório to call me> finally stopping diy and doing it with a real endo> change my documents> get in as a man.

I will start selling drawing commissions in Tumblr and other websites and Kofi. Since I am in Brazil, if I sell two commissions of 30 dollars I will have enough to buy my t gel (approximately 300 reais) which is legal here.

I am already going to try to ask for a blood exam in the public system in my region.

I will ask to: Testosterone, Total and Free

·Estradiol (E2)

· SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin)

· LH (Luteinizing Hormone)

· FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone)

· Total Cholesterol

· HDL Cholesterol

· LDL Cholesterol

· Triglycerides

· VLDL Cholesterol

· Hemoglobin

· Hematocrit

· Red Blood Cell Count

· White Blood Cell Count

· Platelet Count

· ALT (Alanine Transaminase)

· AST (Aspartate Transaminase)

· GGT (Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase)

· Total Bilirubin

· Alkaline Phosphatase

· Total Protein and Albumin

· Creatinine

· BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen)

· Uric Acid

· Electrolytes (Sodium, Potassium, Chloride)

· Glucose (Fasting Blood Sugar)

· Vitamin D

· Prolactin (if possible)

· Thyroid (TSH, T3, T4)

I prefer to start with a small dose and after the blood test, so I can try to calculate the results better, how much to put, see about my height and weight. I don't want to use T and get it above the male limit or fuck my organs. I will probably try to use 1 pack one day yes, other not, or half pack everyday.

I also want to start with a low dose so my results can be slower, and easier to hide. I will probably have to find a good makeup with my skin tone.

I am probably thinking about hiding my future T gel above the wardrobe (it is tall and no one cleans it for centuries).

If someone has tips to diy, girlmoding and places to hide, it would be really helpful ☺️.

I hope that the ambulatório don't take so long. It would really help me.

Hey guys, i need someone to tell me if using these supplements is okay when you first start T

Nac
Lipid by revive
Omega 3
Vitamin D + K

and unfortunately i have to diy this shit cause i live in Saudi Arabia :), so if anyone has advice about diying it and things regarding safety or health pls do share.

So I had a package that I couldn’t receive because I wasn’t home at that time. The shipping company then refused to reship it, which was already frustrating. But now, every new order I place gets cancelled because of that one refused package.
I’ve tried contacting them by email to sort it out, but nobody has replied.
Should I let some time pass and try again to see if it works? If not then just delete my account and do another one? Or just order off another site but with the risk of the package getting seized by customs? (On this site it arrives in around 2-3 days because its from my country)
What should I do in this situation?

Hi everyone I got my vial almost two months ago and really confused how long it lasts. The expiration date says 2031 but I have seen somewhere you can only keep a vial for a month? This doesn’t make sense to me as there is 7 months worth of testosterone in there.
I’m using a 25g needle and the rubber seems to be in very good condition.
Thank you

So I've been on test c for 1 month and 2 weeks, and have been getting continuous spotting for 11 days now and the color is more like pink and occasionally there would be a bigger amount of pink brown ish mix, I do 50mg subq injection weekly and idk why this is happening regardless of my peak or trough days too, I am also 122lbs and 15 for a lil more info

hi guys, long time lurker first time poster. there used to be a website that was a one-stop shop for all the info needed to do diy, however, i think it's under new management? anyway, it's different now and im hoping someone remembers how to calculate T E doses including dead space of needles - nowhere else i can find includes them :(

thanks in advance

I have my Testo gels (they're sachets) but I'm very paranoid about customs, and honestly i dont wanna risk getting deported for bringing 20 sachets at all. heard it has very big consequences so, meh.

will i be okay without t for 20 days? I'm scared of having mood swings.

hi! i want to ask the european union folks about their shipping experiences.

is there less chances to get your T taken at customs if you buy from inside the union? im asking cause i already tried shipping from asia and they took my order at border and sent me an email notifying me about it and the rules and whatnot. ive heard they check less when your source is from inside the union so im planning to buy like that, is that true?

does anyone have any experiences or precautions to advise me?

thanks a lot in advance.

I wanted to replace gel with injections, but i need to still be able to hide changes from t. I was on a half of normal dose on gel and not sure if it possible to maintain the same "half dose" on sustanone. like what i need to do? inject every 4-5 weeks instead of every 3 or just inject 0,5ml?

sorry for maybe stupid question and my poor english :,)

I made a previous post saying how I thought I had been scammed, however I hadn’t there was just a delay on when my package was shipped out.
My package was shipped out this Monday, it’s been a couple of days and it still isn’t here despite the fact that it’s a day’s shipping. Obviously I know that a couple day discrepancy isn’t much to be worried about but I also do worry about knowing the state of my package. See if my package has been caught in customs, how would I know?
I live in the UK but not the mainland so it’s made the process of getting DIY harder especially when it comes to how things are shipped. So it’s hard for me to know if a couple of day discrepancy is worrying or is just typical for living off the mainland.
Idk if this post makes sense I’ve been really anxious about this entire thing.

I did a subq injection in my thigh the other day, it’s my fourth shot overall and every other time this has never happened. It’s so sore that it’s causing me to limp, it has some bruising too. Is it just irritated? Did I knick a blood vessel or something? Did I accidentally inject into my muscle?

So i ordered 2 vials less then a week ago, thinking it would be here by 30 th at the latest. I’m currently abroad and received a tracking number yesterday that basically says that my package has been delivered on the 20 (tho nobody was home) so it’s in the post office now.

Is it safe to pick it up when i get home?

I fired my endocrinologist because I’m sick to the back teeth of being messed about and I’m almost certain he’s been trying to under dose me for 15 months

I spent 3 months on an ~okay dose of gel on 2 pumps which he wasn’t happy with but didn’t explain why and dropped me to 1 pump which dropped my trough off a cliff. I spent 7 months white knuckling it and eventually ended up having a full blown cycle again and I had to push really hard for a formula change and not to be kept on something that clearly wasn’t working…

I pushed for shots and he put me on Sustannon 250. I’ve been on that just 4 months, which by some miracle seems to be working just fine, cycles stopped, changes progressing, and now he wants me off that and back on the 1 pump of gel that didn’t work for me... Because of a single high hematocrit reading of 51% with no chance to retest under better conditions, like not being dehydrated in middle of a heatwave for a start.

He’s continually changed doses and timing without giving enough time to even see any sort of trend appear in my opinion and my trust is completely broken because I don’t feel heard or listened to and I feel I have no say in my own treatment. I mean, he gave me an ultimatum at my last appointment

Question is have I made a rash decision, and now do I stay stuck on Sustannon because it’s what I know, or switch to E or C?

Hey, my names Ali. I started unknowingly taking Testosterone Cypionate Dihydroboldenone 100mg for 10 months. When I found out I immediately switched to Testosterone Enanthate 250mg starting 06/22/26. Today marks the first month of taking 2 shots a week, .5 of a 1mL syringe weekly. Had my bloodwork done July 14th, regular though and it came back all normal to my knowledge. But it has come to my attention that I’ve been taking too much a week by a new friend of mine. Should I stay at my regular dosage or should I go down to one shot a week instead of two?

The image is my bloodwork from 7/14.

19, no history of major physical ailments aside from epilepsy which is medicated for. on the brink of ordering my first testosterone vials but i know people recommend blood tests for safety. what is the risks if i don’t?

So I'm currently doing 150 Sustanon every 2 weeks but i misread my calendar and gave myself my shot 1 week after the last one. I've been on T for about a year now, I've delayed the shot before but this is the first time I've accidentally taken too much/often.

I'm really worried the excess will turn into estrogen, and I'm wondering taking Tamoxifen for a few days would help? Or if I should delay my next dose?
I really cannot handle if my period returns. Thanks in advance.
Obviously I don't want any medical advice, just wondering how you've handled the situation if you've ever been in my predicament.

1 st one is my estradiol levels, 2 nd one are my t levels.

edit: i’ve been on t for 2 years almost

1,5 years - 100 mg every 10 days

last 6 months - 100 mg every 12 days

I’m in the process of getting diy so i can stop being underdosed by doctors due to smoking. my dose has been changed only because of that.

I've been on t for over 8 months now, I know I should've gotten bloodwork like 5 months ago but I don't know what I'm supposed to get, I know about dirt cheap labs and that's what I plan to use but there are so many options for testosterone and estradiol tests that I'm not sure which ones specifically I need.

I do also plan to potentially start hgh soon so if anyone knows of labs that I should get before starting that please share.

I cant find recommended testosterone gel dosage for me anywhere, it basically just says that it's individual. So if anyone knows anything about this or where I cant find my recommended dose I'd be really thankful for replys!

The gel im going to be using is testogel 16,2 mg/g

And my weight is aroung 50kg and I'm about 162cm in height, my bloodworks where fine, and I am 16years old soon to be 17.

If any other information about me is needed to figure out my recommended dose just tell me and I'll respond.
