The EE is also what I use. It is the current diy hrt gold standard, because of it’s long half life and flat curve. So good choice. I would recommend 4mg every 7 days, that should make certain your levels are high enough, and avoid needing any anti-androgens. If you wanna be funky, you can also inject 8mg every 14 days, should also work(but is generally not recommended, cause of steep curve in E in blood). The injection needle should be 25G upwards imo. Make sure to vary the injection site to prevent internal scarring.
I got 30G needles, do you think that would be okay for drawing and injecting? the homebrewer I ordered from suggests 29G since it’s in MCT oil, which I understand is less viscous than other types of oil used for medications
I also use 30G insulin syringes for drawing and injecting(SubQ) and am having no problems. Drawing takes a bit, but it’s fine. I once met a girl who injected using 18G, which is way too big.
What dosage and method are you currently using?
100mcg/day transdermal patches. the DIY I bought is two vial of estradiol enanthate from a homebrewer and some needles and syringes off ebay
