started on 4mg/wk injections and spiro ~3 months ago and Wednesday my bloodwork showed <3ng/dL for T and 485pg/mL estradiol, probably bc it's my peak since I inject on Monday. but YAY!!!!! NO MORE T!!!!
I'm not sure why I thought starting at 18 might be too late for the effects I wanted, but I was so wrong. I love everything...
the mental clarity, and subsequent end of my disassociation was the best.
the fat distribution. I was a healthy weight to begin with (leaning on the lighter side, 136lbs) but holy shit. my hips. my thighs. my butt. mmmmmghhhh.....,, AND IT'S SUPPOSED TO GET BETTER FROM HERE??!
my skin and hair. are so soft. but probably in part because I actually take care of them now!! I love sugar scrub :3
my smell!?? that one I DIDN'T know about!! my clothes, my towel, my bedsheets, they all smell like... girl....., that means... I smell like a girl...,.,
and my chest is... apparent now... which also isn't something I expected so early but I'm not complaining :3
in life, I'm just out and about as a girl all the time. I already pass pretty well with a face mask on, so why bother boymoding when there's no point? hehe :3
there's more I still have to do, mainly figuring out what I'm doing to get rid of my facial hair. but I just love myself so much..., and yet it's still supposed to get BETTER from here! maybe not exponentially, but I'm soooo looking forward to it.
and to end the night I'll eat up my own spicy savory meat pasta!
and yes I did type this up last night, but I fell asleep šš that is something that happens quite often now. but gm!!!!! (for me at least)
still a little bit eepy sleepy but I'm gonna head out soon :3
hurrah! also the tip I was given was to get blood work before you inject, so like day before shot day or on shot day before you do it.
My doc recommended that I do my bloodwork like 3 days after injecting? Iām hardly the expert, but the way she explained it was that it would be lowest the day before injecting and highest after, so I get my bloodwork on Saturdays and inject on Wednesdays. š¤·āāļø
Your doctor's explanation matches what I've heard from others. Measuring at the lowest point tends to help make sure your E levels aren't dipping too low. Also depending on who is prescribing they may prescribe too low a dose and measuring at trough helps make sure they don't cut the dose.
yeah this time I wanted to see what my peaks were getting at, next time I'll do one day before to make sure my levels aren't getting too low!
