I’m looking into starting DIY, I really just can’t wait any longer. However, I am absolutely terrified of needles. I won’t be able to shoot myself up with it. I’m looking into the forms of estrogen, and it appears that I can buy the form used for estradiol pills. But I’m finding very little information on DIY that isn’t focused on injections. I’m thinking about making a water solution and just taking it out of a dropper, but I know I’d need a preservative to keep it safe for a long time.
Thank you, this had a lot of info I needed. The reason I’m not going for pills is just because they’re expensive. My current plan is to buy pure Estrogen Valerate, put it in a solution with alcohol to preserve it, and take the liquid either orally or at this point probably sublingually. There’s a lot I need to figure out, how to keep everything sanitary, how concentrated I should have it while still maintaining accuracy in dosage, how to preserve it, ect. I’m not really seeing a lot of resources on this specific method, so I’ll probably end up writing about what I do.
Yeah that’s a pretty interesting way of doing it. I haven’t heard of anyone trying that before but looking at it now apparently it’s a thing. I remember the issue with making diy pills was something about pressing them into actual pills so it makes sense that a dropper would work. One thing I forgot to mention in my post is that there’s no difference between pills for oral and pills for sublingual estradiol; most estradiol pills are marketed for oral (swallowing them) but they can all be taken sublingually, so a solution for oral estradiol should also work for sublingual. Just remember to be careful since something that’s safe for topical administration or injections might not be safe for sublingual/oral
