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.

    I’m assuming because accurate scales are very expensive?

    A high concentration grain alcohol like everclear might be an option

      Accurate scales are expensive, and I don’t trust myself to accurately weigh in single milligrams from an entire gram of powder. Volumetric liquid dosing seems like the simplest way to do it.

      Yeah I’m definitely thinking about everclear for now, buying bulk is so much cheaper than buying the pills
