I made a math error and I realised I am overdosing. Or at least, burning through my supplies faster than needed.

This will go down as one of the most shameful mistakes of my entire life. I have brought dishonor upon the whole of Asia.

I was supposed to take 0.13 ml per 10 days (lower end of recomended supply). I wanted to do weekly injections. So I decided to multiply by 10/7 to adjust and get a weekly dose, yielding about 0.18 ml per week.

Except to get a weekly dose I should have multiplied by 7/10. In hindsight, I can't believe I made a mistake this dumb and potentially risky.

So, uh, I guess I'll just take 0.18 ml per 10 days (upper end of recomended supply). This will save me supplies, and also I hate giving myself injections. I definitely want to make sure all my testosterone is suppressed cause otherwise I will feel like shit. So I'll still remain at the upper level.

But then again, I am not sure if slightly lowering my dose like this will cause mood swings. I'm not actually even that sure that I really am overdosing because I weigh more than average. I'll just try a 10 day schedule for a while and see what happens.

For anyone who followed my previous post about hair, this isn't related to that (it's just a coincidence). I am not lowering my dose to appease my mom or anything.

Are you injecting valerate? Estradiol valerate has a pretty short halflife in the body, and 10 days is a bit long. You might end up with very low levels by the last day, which would cause mood swings. It's just something to be aware of though, it you feel bad you can switch back to weekly.

this dumb and potentially risky.

The risk is very low, don't worry about it.

I'm using enanthate

The risk is very low, don't worry about it.

Yes

[โ€“] SuperZutsuki@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Shouldn't enanthate be every 7 days, though?

[โ€“] sodium_nitride@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I thought enanthate has a longer half life than valarate

[โ€“] SuperZutsuki@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago

It does. I've seen valerate recommended to redose every 5 days and enanthate every 7. As long as you test and everything's good, you'll be fine.

[โ€“] awth13@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

10 days is fine, just make sure to do blood tests to verify!

What type of estrogen are you taking? I'm on 20mg/mL estradiol valerate, and I inject .25mL subcutaneously every week. So that means I inject 5mg per week. On injection day before injection, most recently I had about 175pg/mL of estradiol on my blood test.

Anyway, I don't know what type of estrogen you're on, maybe it's 30mg/mL or a different type. But in any case, I really don't think you should be worried.

[โ€“] sodium_nitride@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You're currently doing 5 mg per week I'm doing about 7-8 mg per week

That's a lot! But I'm glad you are getting it sorted out
