  • My daily driver is a PowerEdge T620 with 48 Ivy Bridge cores (2x E5-2969 v2) and 384 GiB of DDR3-1333. It’s a bit of a power hog yes, but it’s still cheaper than upgrading to a more modern system with at least that much DDR4/5, and the only things where performance has been an obstacle has been a few more recent games (most recently Clair Obscur, which was bottlenecked by my GPU with the CPUs at pretty low utilization).




  • Thanks so much for the reply! I seem to have forgotten about the decimal point, I meant to write 0.1ml (the syringes I use have markings in 10ths of a milliliter, so I just fill it up to the “1” mark and forget what unit I’m working with…). I’m injecting Ev @ 40mg/mL using ½inch, 26 gauge subq insulin needles, and yes I’m doing DIY monotherapy. I’ve tried releasing the pinch both before and after depressing the plunger, to no avail.

    I haven’t tried injecting at a 90° angle, I’ll give that a try for my next injection tomorrow and see how it goes! (assuming I can find enough fat on my body to do that… I am very underweight)

    The Blåhaj DIY community is new to me, I will definitely try asking there if my experiment tomorrow fails. Thanks again!


  • I know this is old, but I remembered this comment today and figured I’d ask since you seem to have some idea what you’re doing. How exactly do you prevent medication from leaking out after injection? I’m injecting (or trying to inject) 1ml estradiol valerate, and I’ve tried leaving the needle in for up to 30s, holding the skin pinched the entire time the needle is inserted, injecting faster or slower, but seemingly every combination I try results in multiple large drops leaking back out within a few seconds of removing the needle. Like, enough that it looks like nearly half of the fluid is coming back out. Is this something you’ve ever experienced?




  • Selective Estrogen Reuptake Modulators can control which parts of the body are affected by estrogen, they’re sometimes used for non-binary feminizing HRT regimens to prevent breast growth while getting the other effects. AFAIK there isn’t really much in the way of real medical research on them with regards to transgender HRT specifically (the medications typically used are intended for breast cancer treatment) so they’re mostly limited to a few enbys doing DIY who don’t mind living on the edge.
