FIVE MONTHS?!

You're gorgeous lol. Keep in mind that you're always your own worst critic and keep slaying!

(is it rude to ask your dosage?)

[โ€“] blaze@programming.dev 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Lol no it's not rude at all. 6mg of Estradiol and 200mg of Spiro per day <3

Is that DIY? I'm a year in and slowly worked my way to 50mg bicalutimide and 6mg Estradiol, sublingually per day.

No, I've been getting it through Planned Parenthood in the US.

This might be an interesting read since you take yours sublingually: Sublingual vs Oral Estradiol

Thanks for the info! I switched to taking my pills sublingually out of concerns for my liver (no issues, just don't want to damage if I can help it). I may just use another method, like the patch.

How do you adminster? Seems like your results came quick!
