[CW: Assumes Viewer is Transmasc][CW: Assumes Viewer is Transfem][CW: Assumes Viewer is Nonbinary][CW: Transphobia][CW: Violence][CW: Weapons/Firearms][CW: Disturbing Imagery]
- Mods can be arbitrary.
Because it apparently has to be said, this community is supportive of all forms of DIY HRT.

MODERATORS
The reference levels of estrodial for males is 10-50 pg/mL.
4mg daily of oral estrodial got me from (presumably) that range to around 95 pg/mL. Let's round this to an estimate of a 50 pg/mL, or an increase of 12.5 pg/mL per mg of oral estrodial.
A gallon of milk, would have 0.000492mg of estrodial, which would translate to a 0.00615 pg/mL increase. That is about 0.0015% the reference range for cis men.
Interestingly, high testosterone levels actually increase men's estrogen levels, as testosterone gets metabolized into estrogen.
