I have fallen into the rabbit hole that is DIY estradiol. oh no.
anyway, a thread of my findings and plans so far
so on a certain website (idk about mentioning these things by URI but you can find them), I found several labs offering EEn and EU for reasonable prices
color me intrigued
thing is, however, this is the internet
and so I would treat any DIY deal as if it were any other drug deal (sorry, but I'm not stupid enough to skip my homework on this)
anywho: UW has a mass spec facility, and they will, presumably for a fee, mass spec anything you want
so my thinking is, assuming the fee is reasonable (maybe a grand or two tops) I would order some of this DIY stuff and see how legit it is or isn't
and so if I do that, I'll update this thread. depending on how steep the fee is, it might take a little while to do though
so I switched to EV (e. valerate) and I feel great on day 5, but going into it I knew EV was the shittiest possible solution to my problem
that EEn (e. enthanate) was the best option, and that EU (e. undecylate) was also a promising one
and that I should try to get on EC (e. cypionate) instead of EV, because it's somewhat better than EV on pharmacokinetics
but this is America and we have medical insurance (lol) so EV is what I was getting (you can get EC but on Regence it's $120 vs $10 and you're probably going to have to fight for it)
