    Got my blood test back; no problems and trough estradiol is 150 somethings (units, people!). I assume from the given reference ranges they mean pg/mL. They didn’t check testosterone for some reason so I’ll need to ask for that next time. Anyway, I’m fairly happy with that result – should be spending most of the week comfortably above 200. I’m also getting a referral tomorrow to a new clinic that offers self-injections. Yay!

    Mentally, though, rather worn down by non-trans stuff which seems to have given the dysphoria and brain worms a chance to take hold again. Time for some self-care.

      Update: new doctor put me on patches instead, and I got a more complete blood test. Fine by me, so long as I can do it at home. It was a surprise to see them using the transfeminine science injection simulator though!

      It’s part of a gynecology clinic, and I felt a bit of an imposter in the waiting room 🫤
