@JoscelynTransient Does your micronised #progesterone not come in foil packaging like this? :PleadingFace:
So, what except for the possibility of breaking the disinfection chain makes squeezing the oily substance out of a couple of #progesterone soft capsules into a syringe and administering it to oneself as an intramuscular injection, because I just did?
Who wants to guess what my hormone levels will be when my test results come back next week?
My last results in October 2022 were:
• Estradiol - 3178 pmol/L
• Testosterone - 2.4 nmol/L
This was back when I was doing ~0.15 mL (6 mg) of estradiol enanthate weekly alongside a 12-weekly triptorelin injection.
I'm now doing 0.125 mL (5 mg) of estradiol enanthate weekly & boofing a 100 mg progesterone capsule daily.
What do you reckon?

@CharlotteEowyn Here is some compiled useful information on progesterone by the ever-amazing CJ :TransFemHeart:

@annecoombes If you're okay to pay via crypto (urgh, I know, I know!), you can get 100 or 200 mg capsules cheaply from Turkey.

Had a #progesterone dream about being on progesterone.

Also Taissa from Yellowjackets was apparently a family relation and the car was instead packed with her stuff that I was supposed to dispose of for her, and she was very upset about seeing it again.
Sure was glad to wake up in my own bed.
I haven't taken my #progesterone in a long time because I felt like it wasn't doing anything for me, and I took it last night. It felt like I was sleeping at 300mph, and I woke up exhausted from that sleep!
This better give me so many boobs!

Really sensitive skin today. Like, I'll be putting on my shirt and just the feel of cotton against my arms almost makes me shiver. Wonder if it's #progesterone related.
Turns out I can think with my mouth open. All these years I'd just had a hormone deficiency
Now I can think through constant conversation, I don't have to listen think and write

#menopause is something that just about all people born with a #uterus/ #ovaries will go through at some point if they live that long, yet #doctors don't tell us much about it ahead of time or even at the time. #podcast about this and #hormoneReplacement.

Happy #PharmPhriday!
#Hormones can be confusing, so let’s break down some of their functions, starting with progesterone. One important role is maintaining a pregnancy (hence why #mifepristone, a progesterone blocker, is an #abortion drug).
#Progesterone can be administered intramuscularly (in oil, PIO) or vaginally; oral has been shown to be less effective.
If you don’t want a daily 💉🍑 through 1st trimester, talk to your doc about vaginal progesterone! #OBGynodon #Fertility #Infertility #IVF

I recently tested whether one can boof (take rectally) a progesterone capsule into a stoma.
The short answer was that you can, but it really doesn't work well, as the stoma ejects it before it sufficiently dissolves.
For science, I tried boofing into my remaining rectal stump resulting from my "Hartmann's procedure" surgery.
With a little bit of lube, it worked surprising well 😌💊☝

Since the NHS doesn’t prescribe #progesterone for women like me, my doctor has suggested taking a low dose of #testosterone instead.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
