<h1><a name="Without-gatekeepers"></a>Without gatekeepers</h1>
<p>Endocrinologists usually require a letter/referral from gatekeepers: psychotherapists, psychologists, sexologists or psychiatrists. Not because endocrinologists care for you, but because they care for themselves: they fear that you regret and sue them for causing you bodily harm. There isn&#39;t a medical examination, blood or psychological test able to prove or disprove presence or absence of transsexualism in each separate person. Statistics is meaningless when the question is whether you&#39;ll regret social transition or not. So, gatekeepers make appearances of &#34;examination&#34; and stall you for long time while milking you (or insurance/taxpayers) for money.</p>
<p>Medical professionals routinely make mistakes in both directions: approve crazy people and unnecessarily delay transsexuals who&#39;ll not regret.</p>

<h2><a name="Buy-estradiol-enanthate-powder"></a>Buy estradiol enanthate powder</h2>
<p>Don&#39;t buy estradiol valerate because it&#39;s inferior: requires injections every 5 days and either lower concentration (more oil to inject) or addition of a solvent (benzyl benzoate) which costs money and sometimes causes allergy. Both estradiol valerate and estradiol enanthate are converted to the same estradiol in blood, <a href="https://doi.org/10.1097/00008571-200307000-00008" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">spleen</a> and lymph nodes (in leukocytes: by carboxylesterase 1 <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/jcp.2010.084657" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">in</a> monocytes and macrophages and carboxylesterase 2 <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27149931/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">in</a> plasma cells). Estradiol enanthate is absorbed into blood slower, that gives more stable blood estradiol level and allows longer time between injections.</p>
<p>Most of substances used by Western pharmaceutical manufacturers comes from chemical factories in China. There are vendors in China selling the same substances to anybody (private persons too), no questions asked. Testosterone is a controlled substance, estradiol isn&#39;t.</p>

<p>There are other vendors there, but it&#39;s a gamble: some sellers send unrelated white powder (not a hormone at all).

<p>Salespeople on made-in-china use nicknames or European-sounding aliases, same was on Alibaba. You&#39;ll see a real Chinese name only if you pay via Western Union.</p>
<p>Such vendors are not manufacturers of estradiol powder, just resellers/traders/retail. You&#39;ll never know who was the manufacturer (perhaps <a href="http://www.xianle.com/template/producten.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">1</a> or <a href="http://www.xypharm.com/product_en/typeid/2.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">2</a>). Vendors&#39; pages are full of mistakes and lies, including photos of manufacturing plants (they manufacture few substances if any but sell hundreds), numbers, prices and minimal order (MOQ). Register (type zeros instead of phone number and &#34;private person&#34; instead of company name) and use the &#34;Get Latest Price&#34; link, tell them your requirement &#34;Estradiol Enanthate (Estradiol Heptanoate) CAS 4956-37-0, I prefer powder with large particle size (not micronized)&#34; and ask for price for quantity 20 g with the cheapest shipping. If the vendor answers with &#34;FOB&#34; price then that means not including shipping, ask again for cheapest shipping fee. Don&#39;t ask for CoA (certificate of analysis), it&#39;d be fake. Really you&#39;ll get slightly better than 98% purity according to USP and <a href="https://digicollections.net/phint/pdf/b/6.1.144.Estradiol-valerate-(Estradioli-valeras).pdf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">similar</a> standards for pharmaceuticals for humans, there isn&#39;t estradiol powder with any worse purity (manufacturers of veterinarian pharmaceuticals get the same purity); better purity (&#34;reference standard&#34;) is used only for calibration of measuring equipment and costs for example €353 for 100 mg. Cheapest shipping gives also least chances of problems with Customs. The (separate) &#34;forwarding&#34; company they use knows what to lie on the Customs declaration; you may find also papers about an unrelated benign substance like vitamin C - also to fool Customs.

<p>Vendors offer several payment options, some vendors take payment via Alibaba (allows to pay with card and takes 3% fee). &#34;Aoksbio&#34; accepts Western Union, Bitcoin and SWIFT (wire/bank transfer), same total price for 10 and 20 g, so order 20 g. If you pay with bank transfer then &#34;Aoksbio&#34; may ask for your ID with the same name as in your bank account (if other payment options then ID is not required). If Western Union (WU) then you tell &#34;Aoksbio&#34; the 10-digit number WU gives you and sender name you gave to WU.</p>
<p>If the vendor ignores your requirement and sends you micronized powder then it&#39;s suitable but more difficult to work with because clings to everything.</p>

<h3><a name="Oil"></a>Oil</h3>
<p>MCT oil (liquid, not powder, not in capsules, without flavor added) - cheapest bottle you can find, in a local sports nutrition store or mail-order. It&#39;s the only ingredient with somewhat limited shelf life: roughly 5 years as rumored though bottles are usually marked with arbitrary shelf life 2 years. You&#39;ll use up 10 ml per year. In USA you can mail-order a 2 oz (60 ml) sample bottle <a href="https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=mct+oil&amp;_sacat=0&amp;LH_BIN=1&amp;_sop=15&amp;_fcid=1&amp;_blrs=recall_filtering&amp;_ipg=240" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">on eBay</a> for $6 including shipping. Check prices also on Amazon. In local stores smallest bottle can be 400 ml, roughly $13. MCT oil is marketed as a food supplement to be taken 15 ml/day, taken orally is rapidly absorbed. You&#39;ll inject 500 times less, so any purity is okay (it&#39;s really all the same purity despite some dishonest sellers&#39; claims).</p>

<p>Measure MCT oil with a 10 ml (or 5 ml) syringe. If you can find an all-plastic syringe without (usually black) rubber at the inner end of the plunger then one syringe will last you forever. Else likely you&#39;ll have to take a new disposable syringe every time you cook a few vials (up to 5 years apart) because the oil very slowly spoils that rubber. Vial stoppers are made from resistant rubber.</p>
<p>If you add a preservative then use one of syringes you bought for injections (see below) to measure 0.2 ml.</p>
<h2><a name="Mix"></a>Mix</h2>
<p>(See below for an alternate way without a funnel).</p>
<p>Make a small funnel from a piece of foil (the thicker foil the better; shinier side inside), hold it folded with a small piece of sticky tape. If you have only thin foil then perhaps strengthen it by wide sticky tape on another side (or try to strip the outer paint from a few different beer or soft drink aluminium cans with nail polish remover, then cut a clean can with scissors). May be use something conical to wrap the foil around before cutting off unneeded parts. The hole at the pointy end of the funnel must be slightly (not much) smaller than the opening in the vial. Use this funnel to weigh up estradiol enanthate powder and to pour the powder into a vial. The funnel I&#39;m using at the center, unfolded piece of foil from my previous funnel at the left, a funnel in a vial at the right:</p>
<p><img src="https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/groupsiowikiimages/4415/13910/cone.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAJECNKOVMCCU3ATNQ&Expires=1766537695&Signature=LNVNhJSZ6GMJLD7T4z0Y9WfaZGQ%3D" loading="lazy" class="myimg-responsive"/></p>
<p><img src="https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/groupsiowikiimages/4415/13910/cone.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAJECNKOVMCCU3ATNQ&Expires=1767142583&Signature=Pg3QkmM5ZkuVlDJ4BixPVJLND5w%3D" loading="lazy" class="myimg-responsive"/></p>
<p>Two recipes I can recommend:</p>
<p>1) 500 mg = 0.5 g of estradiol enanthate (density 1.1 g/cm<sup><small>3</small></sup>),<br/>benzyl alcohol (preservative - antibacterial) 0.2 ml,<br/>MCT oil 10-0.2-0.5/1.1= 9.35 ml.</p>
<p>2) 0.5 g of estradiol enanthate,<br/>MCT oil 10-0.5/1.1= 9.55 ml.</p>
<p>Sit comfortably at a table, put the scales onto the center of a sheet of blank paper (&#34;landscape&#34; orientation: width more than height). Put the funnel onto the circle on the scales, pointy side to the left (as at the center of the photo above). Turn the scales on, wait for 0.000<br/>Pour estradiol enanthate powder onto the funnel over the center of the circle on the scales until the scales show any number between 0.501 and 0.503<br/>If you poured too much, take excess powder off with a knife tip. Don&#39;t fuss over part of powder which may fall off through the pointy end of the funnel or elsewhere, it&#39;s what the paper sheet is for.</p>
<p>If you see that this amount of the mix doesn&#39;t fit entirely in the wide part of the vial and goes into narrower vial neck then these Chinese vials are too small, then after complete dissolution use an insulin syringe to throw out 1 ml of the solution, and make next vials with 8 ml, recipes:<br/>1) 0.4 g of estradiol enanthate,<br/>benzyl alcohol 0.16 ml,<br/>MCT oil 8-0.16-0.4/1.1= 7.5 ml;<br/>2) 0.4 g of estradiol enanthate,<br/>MCT oil 8-0.4/1.1= 7.65 ml.</p>
<p>Sit comfortably at a table, put the scales onto the center of a sheet of blank paper (&#34;landscape&#34; orientation: width more than height). Put the funnel onto the circle on the scales, pointy side to the left (as at the center of the photo above). Turn the scales on, wait for 0.000<br/>Take estradiol enanthate powder from the bag on the tip of a small knife, pour onto the funnel over the center of the circle on the scales until the scales show any number between 0.501 and 0.503<br/>If you poured too much, take excess powder off with the knife tip. Don&#39;t fuss over part of powder which may fall off through the pointy end of the funnel or elsewhere, it&#39;s what the paper sheet is for.</p>
<p>Take an empty vial with fingers of left hand, put the vial hole to the pointy end of the funnel. Lightly press the funnel into the vial with left index finger (it&#39;s the most tricky part: you must prevent the funnel from falling off the vial and spilling the powder, but you must press lightly to not crumple the foil). Carefully rotate the vial upright together with the funnel over the paper sheet while continuing holding the funnel in the vial with the left index finger. Take a plastic pen or wooden pencil with right hand, tap lightly multiple times on the glass vial you hold in left hand fingers to shake the funnel until all the powder pours from the funnel into the vial.</p>
<p>If some powder fell off, use knife tip to put most of it back into the bag.</p>
<p>An alternate way without a funnel: take a roll of usual kitchen foil (any thickness), with scissors cut a square about 5 cm (2&#34;) on a side. Touch only corners of the square (because powder can stick to fingerprints). The square should be pristine, without creases. Put the square on the scales, turn the scales on. Take some estradiol enanthate powder from the bag with knife tip, pour onto the square. Then more, until the scales show any number between 0.501 and 0.503 . If you poured too much, take the excess back with knife tip. Put an empty vial onto the paper sheet near the scales. Put two fingers under centers of two opposite sides of the square, bend the square until those two sides come together. Then clench these two sides together with fingers of another hand, take the square with powder off the scales. Pour the powder from the square into a vial. When you mix next vial, perhaps cut a new pristine square.</p>
<p>Now you may optionally draw 0.2 ml of benzyl alcohol into a syringe, pour it into the vial over the powder and watch as the powder sags a little and partially dissolves.</p>
<p>Measure the MCT oil with a syringe and pour into the vial.</p>
<p>Close the vial with the rubber stopper, put the cap onto the stopper. While pressing the cap onto the vial, put the vial upside down (cap down) onto a book. While pressing the vial down, bend the rim of the cap in several (8-10) places with a spoon handle so that the cap holds the stopper at place. Don&#39;t press too strongly to not shatter the glass.</p>

<h1><a name="Without-gatekeepers"></a>Without gatekeepers</h1>
<p>Endocrinologists usually require a letter/referral from gatekeepers: psychotherapists, psychologists, sexologists or psychiatrists. Not because endocrinologists care for you, but because they care for themselves: they fear that you regret and sue them for causing you bodily harm. There isn&#39;t a medical examination, blood or psychological test able to prove or disprove presence or absence of transsexualism in each separate person. Statistics is meaningless when the question is whether you&#39;ll regret social transition or not. So, gatekeepers make appearances of &#34;examination&#34; and stall you for long time while milking you (or insurance/taxpayers) for money.</p>
<p>Medical professionals routinely make mistakes in both directions: approve crazy people and unnecessarily delay transsexuals who&#39;ll not regret.</p>

<p>MtF HRT with an estrogen without antiandrogens is called &#34;monotherapy&#34;. Oral estradiol 20 mg/day (10 mg twice a day) suppresses testosterone production by testicles completely, so antiandrogens are unnecessary. You can mail-order estradiol pills from abroad, though expensive:<br/><a href="https://www.inhousepharmacy.vu/p-166-estrofem-2mg.aspx" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.inhousepharmacy.vu/p-166-estrofem-2mg.aspx</a><br/><a href="https://www.inhousepharmacy.vu/p-2073-estradiol-2mg.aspx" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.inhousepharmacy.vu/p-2073-estradiol-2mg.aspx</a><br/><a href="https://www.inhousepharmacy.vu/p-1866-estrofem-tablets-2mg.aspx" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.inhousepharmacy.vu/p-1866-estrofem-tablets-2mg.asp</a></p>
<p>Only 5% of swallowed estradiol reaches blood. Sublingually (under the tongue) or subbuccally (between a lip and a gum) gives better absorption, but I don&#39;t believe that more than in 1.5 times, can cause mood swings and soon becomes too inconvenient. Transdermal patches and gels with estradiol are even more expensive than pills. One more way to deliver estradiol is injections, 100% absorption. If the solution is concentrated then you can use insulin syringes. Estradiol valerate (EV) 40 mg/ml 0.18 ml every 5 days or estradiol enanthate (EEn) 50 mg/ml 0.22 ml weekly is as effective as oral estradiol 20 mg/day, but is cheaper. Factory-made injectable EV is available without prescription <a href="https://www.inhousepharmacy.vu/p-99900888-ar-estradiol-valerate-40mgml.aspx" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.inhousepharmacy.vu/p-99900888-ar-estradiol-valerate-40mgml.aspx</a> (though often out of stock, &#34;expected&#34; date is a lie: they just increase it). I make a copy 15 times cheaper than that, and I make EEn suitable for injections every 7 or 10 days:<a href="http://lena.kiev.ua/EV/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> http://lena.kiev.ua/EV/</a> Below I explain how you can cook injectable estradiol by yourself.</p>
<p>If you had male pattern baldness then add finasteride 0.05 - 0.1 mg (<a href="https://groups.io/g/MTFHRT/message/26" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">1/100 - 1/50</a> of a 5 mg pill) once a day, available in <a href="https://www.inhousepharmacy.vu/search.aspx?searchterm=finasteride" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">InHousePharmacy</a> or <a href="https://www.alldaychemist.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=finasteride" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">AllDayChemist</a> or from me as an addition to ready-to-use injectable EV or EEn. Don&#39;t take dutasteride because of possible mental side effects (also, dutasteride accumulates in blood and continues to give side effects for months after stopping it). Finasteride is necessary despite complete suppression of testosterone production by testicles by injectable estradiol or/and surgical removal of testicles because of DHEA production by adrenals. Finasteride blocks DHEA-&gt;T-&gt;DHT conversion inside hair follicle cells which is unnoticed by blood tests.</p>

<p>It really is that simple after you throw out all the bullshit about &#34;physiological&#34; or &#34;target&#34; levels and learn all the details which side effects are real and which aren&#39;t.</p>
<p>Why I chose this dosage to advise for monotherapy: with it I can be sure that it&#39;s enough for any MtF without blood tests. Different people on the same dosage get blood estradiol level differing in up to 10 times. Sensitivity of different people for the same level of the same hormone differs in times. Sensitivity is as important as levels. There isn&#39;t a test for sensitivity. In USA a blood test without prescription costs $76 (<a href="https://www.privatemdlabs.com/lab_tests.php?view=category_result&amp;show=1032&amp;category=6&amp;ven=&amp;search=#1032" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">1</a> <a href="https://www.labsmd.com/tests.php?view=search_results&amp;show=2222&amp;search=estradiol#2222" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">2</a> <a href="https://newcenturylabs.com/product/estradiol" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">3a</a>+<a href="https://newcenturylabs.com/product/testosterone-total-females" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">3b</a>) and is available not everywhere.

In many countries only with prescription, and doctors refuse to prescribe tests for meds they didn&#39;t prescribe. My or DIY injectables without blood tests are cheaper than lower dosage with several blood tests. And no time wasted on determining barely enough dosage.</p>
<p>I don&#39;t believe that beginning from lower estradiol dosage (possible safely only with addition of bicalutamide) gives better results. Doctors love to begin from low estrogen dosage with lots of blood tests because this keeps them busy and paid. So they claim that it&#39;s allegedly better. Doctors in other countries parrot that. There isn&#39;t any evidence. People repeat doctors&#39; claims.</p>

<p>Don&#39;t buy estradiol valerate because it&#39;s inferior: requires injections every 5 days and either lower concentration (more oil to inject) or addition of a solvent (benzyl benzoate) which costs money and sometimes causes allergy. Both estradiol valerate and estradiol enanthate are converted to the same estradiol in blood. Estradiol enanthate is absorbed into blood slower, that gives more stable blood estradiol level and allows longer time between injections.</p>

<p>The vials are designed to be sealed with rubber stoppers and aluminium caps using a tool (crimper, $36). But you can crimp a cap without a crimper: by hand using a piece of metal like a spoon handle.</p>
<p>You can buy a 129°C autoclave for $170, but it&#39;s not really necessary as you make vials for yourself only. 121°C was necessary for obsolete reusable syringes with fresh blood of another patient because hepatitis B virus can survive 100°C for short time if in blood. You are not dealing with fresh blood, so 100°C (water boiling in a pot) is enough. I use an autoclave just for customers&#39; peace of mind. At first I sold kits with EV powder, solvent, preservative and instructions how to mix and sterilize in a pot, multiple people including myself sterilized at 100°C, never a problem. If you live at significant altitude (like in Denver &#34;mile high city&#34;) then likely you already have a pressure cooker. I advise against dry heat sterilizers and ovens because of too uneven temperature, too much can burst a vial. Bead sterilizers not suitable.</p>
<p>American &#34;homebrewing&#34; bodybuilders were afraid that their anabolics would be &#34;inactivated&#34; during heat sterilization, so they started the filtering fad: they assumed (wrong) that 0.2 μm filtering sterilizes. Filtering is <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2896367/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><strong>not</strong></a> a reliable sterilization. I can understand filtering for intravenous infusions liters per day (in ICU), but for our subcutaneous injections 1 ml/month filtering doesn&#39;t make sense. There were multiple complaints that some EV ampules made by pharmaceutical factories in India are fake. I think not deliberately fake but just incompetent technologists and managers: they mixed in a tank in an air-conditioned cold (to limit bacteria) room without solvent for not enough time, then undissolved powder got stuck in a filter. If you are paranoid and insist on following the filtering fad then wait several days until every last clump of powder finishes dissolving in a vial, then use a PVDF or PTFE 0.22 μm syringe filter (not hydrophilic, better 25 or 33 mm), a 10 ml Luer Lock syringe and optionally a homemade filtering rig, I made mine (for paranoid customers, I don&#39;t filter what I inject into myself) from 4 stacks of books, a piece of plywood/MDF with a hole for the syringe, a wide wooden plank/board, a 6 l (1.5 gallon) plastic bottle with water as a weight, the plank slightly tilted and leaning on a wall for stability. And anyway sterilize the sealed vial you filtered into at 100°C <strong>after</strong> filtering!</p>

<h3><a name="Unnecessary"></a>Unnecessary</h3>
<p>Unnecessary: beaker, mixer/stirrer, room with controlled airflow, depyrogenation. My technology: terminal heat sterilization (after the vials are sealed); measure and mix in each vial separately, so no glassware to wash with water  or collecting dust (skin flakes and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_dust_mite" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mites</a>) if never washed. Water - bacteria - pyrogens. Don&#39;t try to improve this technology: it protects you from mistakes and unexpected problems.</p>

<h3><a name="Oil"></a>Oil</h3>
<p>MCT oil (liquid, not powder, not in capsules, without flavor added) - cheapest bottle you can find, in a local sports nutrition store or mail-order. It&#39;s the only ingredient with somewhat limited shelf life: roughly 5 years as rumored though bottles are usually marked with arbitrary shelf life 2 years. You&#39;ll use up 10 ml per year. In USA you can mail-order a 2 oz (60 ml) sample bottle <a href="https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=mct+oil&amp;_sacat=0&amp;LH_BIN=1&amp;_sop=15&amp;_fcid=1&amp;_blrs=recall_filtering&amp;_ipg=240" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">on eBay</a> for $6 including shipping. Check prices also on Amazon. In local stores smallest bottle can be 400 ml, roughly $13. MCT oil is marketed as a food supplement to be taken 15 ml/day, taken orally is rapidly absorbed. You&#39;ll inject 500 times less, so any purity is okay (it&#39;s really all the same purity despite some dishonest sellers&#39; claims).</p>
<h3><a name="Preservative-28optional29"></a>Preservative (optional)</h3>
<p>If you can, add a preservative (antibacterial): benzyl alcohol. You&#39;ll use up 7 ml for 30 years. If you are in USA then smallest bottle (20 ml) is $7 <a href="https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=%22benzyl+alcohol%22&amp;_sacat=0&amp;LH_TitleDesc=0&amp;_blrs=recall_filtering&amp;LH_BIN=1&amp;_sop=15&amp;_fcid=1&amp;_oac=1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">on eBay</a>.

<h3><a name="Syringes-for-mixing"></a>Syringes for mixing</h3>
<p>Measure MCT oil with a 10 ml (or 5 ml) syringe. If you can find an all-plastic syringe without (usually black) rubber at the inner end of the plunger then one syringe will last you forever. Else likely you&#39;ll have to take a new disposable syringe every time you cook a few vials (up to 5 years apart) because the oil very slowly spoils that rubber. Vial stoppers are made from resistant rubber.</p>
<p>If you add a preservative then use one of syringes you bought for injections (see below) to measure 0.2 ml.</p>
<h2><a name="Mix"></a>Mix</h2>
<p>(See below for an alternate way without a funnel).</p>
<p>Make a small funnel from a piece of foil (the thicker foil the better; shinier side inside), hold it folded with a small piece of sticky tape. If you have only thin foil then perhaps strengthen it by wide sticky tape on another side (or try to strip the outer paint from a few different beer or soft drink aluminium cans with nail polish remover, then cut a clean can with scissors). May be use something conical to wrap the foil around before cutting off unneeded parts. The hole at the pointy end of the funnel must be slightly (not much) smaller than the opening in the vial. Use this funnel to weigh up estradiol enanthate powder and to pour the powder into a vial. The funnel I&#39;m using at the center, unfolded piece of foil from my previous funnel at the left, a funnel in a vial at the right:</p>
<p><img src="https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/groupsiowikiimages/4415/13910/cone.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAJECNKOVMCCU3ATNQ&Expires=1766537695&Signature=LNVNhJSZ6GMJLD7T4z0Y9WfaZGQ%3D" loading="lazy" class="myimg-responsive"/></p>

<p>Two recipes I can recommend:</p>
<p>1) 500 mg = 0.5 g of estradiol enanthate (density 1.1 g/cm<sup><small>3</small></sup>),<br/>benzyl alcohol (preservative - antibacterial) 0.2 ml,<br/>MCT oil 10-0.2-0.5/1.1= 9.35 ml.</p>
<p>2) 0.5 g of estradiol enanthate,<br/>MCT oil 10-0.5/1.1= 9.55 ml.</p>
<p>Sit comfortably at a table, put the scales onto the center of a sheet of blank paper (&#34;landscape&#34; orientation: width more than height). Put the funnel onto the circle on the scales, pointy side to the left (as at the center of the photo above). Turn the scales on, wait for 0.000<br/>Pour estradiol enanthate powder onto the funnel over the center of the circle on the scales until the scales show any number between 0.500 and 0.503<br/>If you poured too much, take excess powder off with a knife tip. Don&#39;t fuss over part of powder which may fall off through the pointy end of the funnel or elsewhere, it&#39;s what the paper sheet is for.</p>
<p>If you see that this amount of the mix doesn&#39;t fit entirely in the wide part of the vial and goes into narrower vial neck then these Chinese vials are too small, then after complete dissolution use an insulin syringe to throw out 1 ml of the solution, and make next vials with 8 ml, recipes:<br/>1) 0.4 g of estradiol enanthate,<br/>benzyl alcohol 0.16 ml,<br/>MCT oil 8-0.16-0.4/1.1= 7.5 ml;<br/>2) 0.4 g of estradiol enanthate,<br/>MCT oil 8-0.4/1.1= 7.65 ml.</p>
<p>Sit comfortably at a table, put the scales onto the center of a sheet of blank paper (&#34;landscape&#34; orientation: width more than height). Put the funnel onto the circle on the scales, pointy side to the left (as at the center of the photo above). Turn the scales on, wait for 0.000<br/>Take estradiol enanthate powder from the bag on the tip of a small knife, pour onto the funnel over the center of the circle on the scales until the scales show any number between 0.501 and 0.503<br/>If you poured too much, take excess powder off with the knife tip. Don&#39;t fuss over part of powder which may fall off through the pointy end of the funnel or elsewhere, it&#39;s what the paper sheet is for.</p>
<p>Take an empty vial with fingers of left hand, put the vial hole to the pointy end of the funnel. Lightly press the funnel into the vial with left index finger (it&#39;s the most tricky part: you must prevent the funnel from falling off the vial and spilling the powder, but you must press lightly to not crumple the foil). Carefully rotate the vial upright together with the funnel over the paper sheet while continuing holding the funnel in the vial with the left index finger. Take a plastic pen or wooden pencil with right hand, tap lightly multiple times on the glass vial you hold in left hand fingers to shake the funnel until all the powder pours from the funnel into the vial.</p>
<p>If some powder fell off, use knife tip to put most of it back into the bag.</p>
<p>An alternate way without a funnel: take a roll of usual kitchen foil (any thickness), with scissors cut a square about 5 cm (2&#34;) on a side. Touch only corners of the square (because powder can stick to fingerprints). The square should be pristine, without creases. Put the square on the scales, turn the scales on. Take some estradiol enanthate powder from the bag with knife tip, pour onto the square. Then more, until the scales show any number between 0.501 and 0.503 . If you poured too much, take the excess back with knife tip. Put an empty vial onto the paper sheet near the scales. Put two fingers under centers of two opposite sides of the square, bend the square until those two sides come together. Then clench these two sides together with fingers of another hand, take the square with powder off the scales. Pour the powder from the square into a vial. When you mix next vial, perhaps cut a new pristine square.</p>
<p>Now you may optionally draw 0.2 ml of benzyl alcohol into a syringe, pour it into the vial over the powder and watch as the powder sags a little and partially dissolves.</p>
<p>Measure the MCT oil with a syringe and pour into the vial.</p>
<p>Close the vial with the rubber stopper, put the cap onto the stopper. While pressing the cap onto the vial, put the vial upside down (cap down) onto a book. While pressing the vial down, bend the rim of the cap in several (8-10) places with a spoon handle so that the cap holds the stopper at place. Don&#39;t press too strongly to not shatter the glass.</p>

<p>If your caps are with plastic tops then stick a flat screwdriver or a knife under the top, the top should detach with the central part of the cap. If you accidentally pulled entire cap off and the rubber stopper came out of the vial then fix the cap back and repeat sterilization.</p>
<p>The very center of the rubber stopper is marked with smaller circle - it&#39;s where needles should be inserted.</p>
<h2><a name="Keep"></a>Keep</h2>
<p>Keep the powder sealed airtight in a vial or in a bag with as little air as possible. Keep the powder, mixed but yet unused vials, benzyl alcohol and oil wrapped in foil to protect from light. Keep the vial you are using in a box, drawer or cupboard. Not in a fridge. Keep at room temperature (whatever it is), in standing position. Before use, look at the bottom of a vial: if it became white instead of transparent then put the vial at a warm place, and EEn will dissolve back, the warmer the faster.

<p>20 g of estradiol enanthate powder will be enough to cook 39 vials which will last you 39*10/0.223*7/365= 33 years.</p>
<p>Initial expenses 180*1.03+14.26+4.45+5.99+6.75+2.66+14.94= $235</p>
<p>Total expenses during 33 years (180*1.03+14.26+4*4.45+7*5.99+6.75+2.66+18*14.94)/(33.5*12)= $1.34 per month. A hundred times cheaper for safer and much more effective HRT than doctor-prescribed. And you don&#39;t depend on doctors&#39; whims and meds shortages.</p>

<p>Myth: <span style="background-color: #ff99cc">discard a vial 30 days after you began it</span>. Bureaucrats get their salaries for inventing new rules, no matter how unreasonable. This rule was invented for hospitals with multiple patients (some with infectious diseases), not for your home.</p>
<p>Fallacy: <span style="background-color: #ff99cc">use separate needles for drawing and injection</span>. It&#39;s easy to bend needle tip on hard glass ampule bottom while drawing from an all-glass single-dose ampule, it&#39;s where the myth of &#34;needle blunting&#34; originates. Insulin syringes with non-detachable needles are designed for insulin vials also with rubber stoppers.</p>
<p>If an average doctor prescribes injectable estradiol, he says nothing about needles, he says &#34;<span style="background-color: #ff99cc">inject into muscle</span>&#34; because the gospel (instructions sold with injectable estradiol) says so (without explanation why - really it&#39;s because the solvent used with EV sometimes causes allergy, then IM helps). You go to a pharmacy and ask for intramuscular injections. An average pharmacist asks you for injection volume (less than 1 ml) and sells you 2 ml syringes, each syringe comes with a needle in the same pack. Manufacturers put long needles with 10 ml syringes and shorter needles with 2 ml syringes. Why? Aesthetics. :-/ You get syringes with dead space and needles 25 mm long, you inject into buttock. You, pharmacist, nurse and doctor think that you inject into muscle. Really fat layer in buttocks is thicker even in very skinny people. You in fact inject into fat. And... it works. Gospels are full of fallacies.</p>
<p>Fallacy: after sticking the needle in your skin, <span style="background-color: #ff99cc">you must aspirate to check whether you hit a blood vessel</span>. There aren&#39;t significant blood vessels in buttocks at 13 mm (1/2&#34;) depth. If you aspirate, you wound yourself because of inevitable needle movements sideways.</p>
<p>Don&#39;t give a vial into the hands of a doctor, he&#39;d destroy it. Doctors are jealous.</p>
<p>Don&#39;t use an emulator (calculator of blood levels). It uses average statistical data, but <strong>you</strong> are not a statistically average person.</p>
<p>Myth: <span style="background-color: #ff99cc">begin from pills (low dosage), then after some time switch to injections</span>. Doctors love to begin from low dosage because that keeps them busy and paid. So they invent explanations why it&#39;s allegedly better. People repeat doctor claims.</p>

<p>MCT oil (liquid, not powder, not in capsules, without flavor added) - cheapest bottle you can find, in a local sports nutrition store or mail-order. It&#39;s the only ingredient with somewhat limited shelf life: roughly 5 years as rumored though bottles are usually marked with arbitrary shelf life 2 years. You&#39;ll use up 10 ml per year. In USA you can mail-order a 2 oz (60 ml) sample bottle <a href="https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=mct+oil&amp;_sacat=0&amp;LH_BIN=1&amp;_sop=15&amp;_fcid=1&amp;_blrs=recall_filtering&amp;_ipg=240" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">on eBay</a> for $6 including shipping. Check prices also on Amazon. In local stores smallest bottle can be 400 ml, roughly $13. MCT oil is marketed as a food supplement to be taken 15 ml/day, taken orally is rapidly absorbed. You&#39;ll inject 500 times less, so any purity is okay (it&#39;s really all the same purity despite some dishonest sellers&#39; claims).</p>

<p>(See below for an alternate way without a funnel).</p>
<p>Make a small funnel from a piece of foil (the thicker foil the better; shinier side inside), hold it folded with a small piece of sticky tape. If you have only thin foil then perhaps strengthen it by wide sticky tape on another side (or try to strip the outer paint from a few different beer or soft drink aluminium cans with nail polish remover, then cut a clean can with scissors). May be use something conical to wrap the foil around before cutting off unneeded parts. The hole at the pointy end of the funnel must be slightly (not much) smaller than the opening in the vial. Use this funnel to weigh up estradiol enanthate powder and to pour the powder into a vial. The funnel I&#39;m using at the center, unfolded piece of foil from my previous funnel at the left, a funnel in a vial at the right:</p>

<h1><a name="Without-gatekeepers"></a>Without gatekeepers</h1>
<p>Endocrinologists usually require a letter/referral from gatekeepers: psychotherapists, psychologists, sexologists or psychiatrists. Not because endocrinologists care for you, but because they care for themselves: they fear that you regret and sue them for causing you bodily harm. There isn&#39;t a medical examination, blood or psychological test able to prove or disprove presence or absence of transsexualism in each separate person. Statistics is meaningless when the question is whether you&#39;ll regret social transition or not. So, gatekeepers make appearances of &#34;examination&#34; and stall you for long time while milking you (or insurance/taxpayers) for money.</p>
<p>Medical professionals routinely make mistakes in both directions: approve crazy people and unnecessarily delay transsexuals who&#39;ll not regret.</p>

<p>MtF HRT with an estrogen without antiandrogens is called &#34;monotherapy&#34;. Oral estradiol 20 mg/day (10 mg twice a day) suppresses testosterone production by testicles completely, so antiandrogens are unnecessary. You can mail-order estradiol pills from abroad, though expensive:<br/><a href="https://www.inhousepharmacy.vu/p-166-estrofem-2mg.aspx" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.inhousepharmacy.vu/p-166-estrofem-2mg.aspx</a><br/><a href="https://www.inhousepharmacy.vu/p-2073-estradiol-2mg.aspx" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.inhousepharmacy.vu/p-2073-estradiol-2mg.aspx</a><br/><a href="https://www.inhousepharmacy.vu/p-1866-estrofem-tablets-2mg.aspx" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.inhousepharmacy.vu/p-1866-estrofem-tablets-2mg.asp</a></p>
<p>Only 5% of swallowed estradiol reaches blood. Sublingually (under the tongue) or subbuccally (between a lip and a gum) gives better absorption, but I don&#39;t believe that more than in 1.5 times, can cause mood swings and soon becomes too inconvenient. Transdermal patches and gels with estradiol are even more expensive than pills. One more way to deliver estradiol is injections, 100% absorption. If the solution is concentrated then you can use insulin syringes. Estradiol valerate (EV) 40 mg/ml 0.18 ml every 5 days or estradiol enanthate (EEn) 50 mg/ml 0.22 ml weekly is as effective as oral estradiol 20 mg/day, but is cheaper. Factory-made injectable EV is available without prescription <a href="https://www.inhousepharmacy.vu/p-99900888-ar-estradiol-valerate-40mgml.aspx" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.inhousepharmacy.vu/p-99900888-ar-estradiol-valerate-40mgml.aspx</a> (though often out of stock, &#34;expected&#34; date is a lie: they just increase it). I make a copy 15 times cheaper than that, and I make EEn suitable for injections every 7 or 10 days:<a href="http://lena.kiev.ua/EV/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> http://lena.kiev.ua/EV/</a> Below I explain how you can cook injectable estradiol by yourself.</p>
<p>If you had male pattern baldness then add finasteride 0.05 - 0.1 mg (<a href="https://groups.io/g/MTFHRT/message/26" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">1/100 - 1/50</a> of a 5 mg pill) once a day, available in <a href="https://www.inhousepharmacy.vu/search.aspx?searchterm=finasteride" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">InHousePharmacy</a> or <a href="https://www.alldaychemist.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=finasteride" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">AllDayChemist</a> or from me as an addition to ready-to-use injectable EV or EEn. Don&#39;t take dutasteride because of possible mental side effects (also, dutasteride accumulates in blood and continues to give side effects for months after stopping it). Finasteride is necessary despite complete suppression of testosterone production by testicles by injectable estradiol or/and surgical removal of testicles because of DHEA production by adrenals. Finasteride blocks DHEA-&gt;T-&gt;DHT conversion inside hair follicle cells which is unnoticed by blood tests.</p>

<p>It really is that simple after you throw out all the bullshit about &#34;physiological&#34; or &#34;target&#34; levels and learn all the details which side effects are real and which aren&#39;t.</p>
<p>Why I chose this dosage to advise for monotherapy: with it I can be sure that it&#39;s enough for any MtF without blood tests. Different people on the same dosage get blood estradiol level differing in up to 10 times. Sensitivity of different people for the same level of the same hormone differs in times. Sensitivity is as important as levels. There isn&#39;t a test for sensitivity. In USA a blood test without prescription costs $76 (<a href="https://www.privatemdlabs.com/lab_tests.php?view=category_result&amp;show=1032&amp;category=6&amp;ven=&amp;search=#1032" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">1</a> <a href="https://www.labsmd.com/tests.php?view=search_results&amp;show=2222&amp;search=estradiol#2222" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">2</a> <a href="https://newcenturylabs.com/product/estradiol" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">3a</a>+<a href="https://newcenturylabs.com/product/testosterone-total-females" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">3b</a>) and is available not everywhere.

In many countries only with prescription, and doctors refuse to prescribe tests for meds they didn&#39;t prescribe. My or DIY injectables without blood tests are cheaper than lower dosage with several blood tests. And no time wasted on determining barely enough dosage.</p>
<p>I don&#39;t believe that beginning from lower estradiol dosage (possible safely only with addition of bicalutamide) gives better results. Doctors love to begin from low estrogen dosage with lots of blood tests because this keeps them busy and paid. So they claim that it&#39;s allegedly better. Doctors in other countries parrot that. There isn&#39;t any evidence. People repeat doctors&#39; claims.</p>

Ignore offers/requests to communicate via Whatsapp or other messengers (never give them your number/nickname), don&#39;t reply to emails, reply to the vendor <strong>only</strong> via <a href="https://membercenter.made-in-china.com/message/index.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://membercenter.made-in-china.com/message/index.html</a></p>
<p>Vendors offer several payment options, some vendors take payment via Alibaba (allows to pay with card and takes 3% fee). &#34;Aoksbio&#34; accepts Western Union, Bitcoin and SWIFT (wire/bank transfer), same total price for 10 and 20 g, so order 20 g. If you pay with bank transfer then &#34;Aoksbio&#34; may ask for your ID with the same name as in your bank account (if other payment options then ID is not required). If Western Union (WU) then you tell &#34;Aoksbio&#34; the 10-digit number WU gives you and sender name you gave to WU.</p>
<p>If the vendor ignores your requirement and sends you micronized powder then it&#39;s suitable but more difficult to work with because clings to everything.</p>

<p>If the scales have slots for 4 batteries then insert only 2 at any one side.</p>

<p>The vials are designed to be sealed with rubber stoppers and aluminium caps using a tool (crimper, $36). But you can crimp a cap without a crimper: by hand using a piece of metal like a spoon handle.</p>
<p>You can buy a 129°C autoclave for $130, but it&#39;s not really necessary as you make vials for yourself only. 121°C was necessary for obsolete reusable syringes with fresh blood of another patient because hepatitis B virus can survive 100°C for short time if in blood. You are not dealing with fresh blood, so 100°C (water boiling in a pot) is enough. I use an autoclave just for customers&#39; peace of mind. At first I sold kits with EV powder, solvent, preservative and instructions how to mix and sterilize in a pot, multiple people including myself sterilized at 100°C, never a problem. If you live at significant altitude (like in Denver &#34;mile high city&#34;) then likely you already have a pressure cooker. I advise against dry heat sterilizers and ovens because of too uneven temperature, too much can burst a vial. Bead sterilizers not suitable.</p>
<p>American &#34;homebrewing&#34; bodybuilders were afraid that their anabolics would be &#34;inactivated&#34; during heat sterilization, so they started the filtering fad: they assumed (wrong) that 0.2 μm filtering sterilizes. Filtering is <strong>not</strong> a reliable sterilization. I can understand filtering for intravenous infusions liters per day (in ICU), but for our subcutaneous injections 1 ml/month filtering doesn&#39;t make sense. There were multiple complaints that some EV ampules made by pharmaceutical factories in India are fake. I think not deliberately fake but just incompetent technologists and managers: they mixed in a tank in an air-conditioned cold (to limit bacteria) room without solvent for not enough time, then undissolved powder got stuck in a filter. If you are paranoid and insist on following the filtering fad then wait several days until every last clump of powder finishes dissolving in a vial, then use a PTFE hydrophobic 0.22 μm 25 mm syringe filter and a homemade filtering rig, I made mine (for paranoid customers, I don&#39;t filter what I inject into myself) from 4 stacks of books, a piece of plywood/MDF with a hole for a 10 ml Luer Lock syringe, a wide wooden plank/board, a 6 l (1.5 gallon) plastic bottle with water as a weight, the plank slightly tilted and leaning on a wall for stability. And anyway sterilize the sealed vial you filtered into at 100°C <strong>after</strong> filtering!</p>

<h3><a name="Oil"></a>Oil</h3>
<p>MCT oil (liquid, not powder, not in capsules, without flavor added) - cheapest bottle you can find, in a local sports nutrition store or mail-order. It&#39;s the only ingredient with somewhat limited shelf life: roughly 5 years as rumored though bottles are usually marked with arbitrary shelf life 2 years. You&#39;ll use up 10 ml per year. In USA you can mail-order a 2 oz (60 ml) sample bottle <a href="https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=mct+oil&amp;_sacat=0&amp;LH_BIN=1&amp;_sop=15&amp;_fcid=1&amp;_blrs=recall_filtering&amp;_ipg=240" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">on eBay</a> for $6 including shipping. Check prices also on Amazon. In local stores smallest bottle can be 400 ml, roughly $13. MCT oil is marketed as a food supplement to be taken 15 ml/day, taken orally is rapidly absorbed. You&#39;ll inject 500 times less, so any purity is okay (it&#39;s really all the same purity despite some dishonest sellers&#39; claims).</p>
<h3><a name="Preservative-28optional29"></a>Preservative (optional)</h3>
<p>Optionally you can add a preservative (antibacterial): benzyl alcohol. You&#39;ll use up 7 ml for 30 years. If you are in USA then smallest bottle (20 ml) is $7 <a href="https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=%22benzyl+alcohol%22&amp;_sacat=0&amp;LH_TitleDesc=0&amp;_blrs=recall_filtering&amp;LH_BIN=1&amp;_sop=15&amp;_fcid=1&amp;_oac=1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">on eBay</a>. If you don&#39;t add the preservative then make sure that each time you draw from a sterilized vial, you take a new syringe. I inject myself with estradiol enanthate in MCT oil without preservative because of my allergy.</p>

<h3><a name="Syringes-for-mixing"></a>Syringes for mixing</h3>
<p>Measure MCT oil with a 10 ml (or 5 ml) syringe. If you can find an all-plastic syringe without (usually black) rubber at the inner end of the plunger then one syringe will last you forever. Else likely you&#39;ll have to take a new disposable syringe every time you cook a few vials (up to 5 years apart) because the oil very slowly spoils that rubber. Vial stoppers are made from resistant rubber.</p>
<p>If you add a preservative then use one of syringes you bought for injections (see below) to measure 0.2 ml.</p>
<h2><a name="Mix"></a>Mix</h2>
<p>(See below for an alternate way without a funnel).</p>
<p>Make a small funnel from a piece of foil (the thicker foil the better; shinier side inside), hold it folded with a small piece of sticky tape. If you have only thin foil then perhaps strengthen it by wide sticky tape on another side (or try to strip the outer paint from a few different beer or soft drink aluminium cans with nail polish remover, then cut a clean can with scissors). May be use something conical to wrap the foil around before cutting off unneeded parts. The hole at the pointy end of the funnel must be slightly (not much) smaller than the opening in the vial. Use this funnel to weigh up estradiol enanthate powder and to pour the powder into a vial. The funnel I&#39;m using at the center, unfolded piece of foil from my previous funnel at the left, a funnel in a vial at the right:</p>
<p><img src="https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/groupsiowikiimages/4415/13910/cone.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAJECNKOVMCCU3ATNQ&Expires=1766537696&Signature=CE94FYeu9RpKwYrA1k7irCiMUNs%3D" loading="lazy" class="myimg-responsive"/></p>

<p>Two recipes I can recommend:</p>
<p>1) 500 mg = 0.5 g of estradiol enanthate (density 1.1 g/cm<sup><small>3</small></sup>),<br/>benzyl alcohol (preservative - antibacterial) 0.2 ml,<br/>MCT oil 10-0.2-0.5/1.1= 9.35 ml.</p>
<p>2) 0.5 g of estradiol enanthate,<br/>MCT oil 10-0.5/1.1= 9.55 ml.</p>
<p>Sit comfortably at a table, put the scales onto the center of a sheet of blank paper (&#34;landscape&#34; orientation: width more than height). Put the funnel onto the circle on the scales, pointy side to the left (as at the center of the photo above). Turn the scales on, wait for 0.000<br/>Pour estradiol enanthate powder onto the funnel over the center of the circle on the scales until the scales show any number between 0.500 and 0.503<br/>If you poured too much, take excess powder off with a knife tip. Don&#39;t fuss over part of powder which may fall off through the pointy end of the funnel or elsewhere, it&#39;s what the paper sheet is for.</p>
<p>If you see that this amount of the mix doesn&#39;t fit entirely in the wide part of the vial and goes into narrower vial neck then these Chinese vials are too small, then after complete dissolution use an insulin syringe to throw out 1 ml of the solution, and make next vials with 8 ml, recipes:<br/>1) 0.4 g of estradiol enanthate,<br/>benzyl alcohol 0.16 ml,<br/>MCT oil 8-0.16-0.4/1.1= 7.5 ml;<br/>2) 0.4 g of estradiol enanthate,<br/>MCT oil 8-0.4/1.1= 7.65 ml.</p>
<p>Sit comfortably at a table, put the scales onto the center of a sheet of blank paper (&#34;landscape&#34; orientation: width more than height). Put the funnel onto the circle on the scales, pointy side to the left (as at the center of the photo above). Turn the scales on, wait for 0.000<br/>Take estradiol enanthate powder from the bag on the tip of a small knife, pour onto the funnel over the center of the circle on the scales until the scales show any number between 0.501 and 0.503<br/>If you poured too much, take excess powder off with the knife tip. Don&#39;t fuss over part of powder which may fall off through the pointy end of the funnel or elsewhere, it&#39;s what the paper sheet is for.</p>
<p>Take an empty vial with fingers of left hand, put the vial hole to the pointy end of the funnel. Lightly press the funnel into the vial with left index finger (it&#39;s the most tricky part: you must prevent the funnel from falling off the vial and spilling the powder, but you must press lightly to not crumple the foil). Carefully rotate the vial upright together with the funnel over the paper sheet while continuing holding the funnel in the vial with the left index finger. Take a plastic pen or wooden pencil with right hand, tap lightly multiple times on the glass vial you hold in left hand fingers to shake the funnel until all the powder pours from the funnel into the vial.</p>
<p>If some powder fell off, use knife tip to put most of it back into the bag.</p>
<p>An alternate way without a funnel: take a roll of usual kitchen foil (any thickness), with scissors cut a square about 5 cm (2&#34;) on a side. Touch only corners of the square (because powder can stick to fingerprints). The square should be pristine, without creases. Put the square on the scales, turn the scales on. Take some estradiol enanthate powder from the bag with knife tip, pour onto the square. Then more, until the scales show any number between 0.501 and 0.503 . If you poured too much, take the excess back with knife tip. Put an empty vial onto the paper sheet near the scales. Put two fingers under centers of two opposite sides of the square, bend the square until those two sides come together. Then clench these two sides together with fingers of another hand, take the square with powder off the scales. Pour the powder from the square into a vial. When you mix next vial, perhaps cut a new pristine square.</p>
<p>Now you may optionally draw 0.2 ml of benzyl alcohol into a syringe, pour it into the vial over the powder and watch as the powder sags a little and partially dissolves.</p>
<p>Measure the MCT oil with a syringe and pour into the vial.</p>
<p>Close the vial with the rubber stopper, put the cap onto the stopper. While pressing the cap onto the vial, put the vial upside down (cap down) onto a book. While pressing the vial down, bend the rim of the cap in several (8-10) places with a spoon handle so that the cap holds the stopper at place. Don&#39;t press too strongly to not shatter the glass.</p>

<p>Wait several days, shake up the first vial few times each day. The warmer in the room, the faster dissolving. If the powder dissolved completely to clear solution then you were sold the real thing and enough pure. For next vials don&#39;t wait.</p>
<p>Another way to make sure that you got really estradiol enanthate is checking melting point of the powder: it may be slightly less or slightly more than 100°C. Measure/pour 500 mg more powder into another vial, don&#39;t pour liquids yet, close the vial, but bend the cap rim in only 3 places. Put the vial into a pot with tap water, boil the water (while watching the powder in it), turn the heat off, wait for the water to cool off, take the vial out of the water. If the powder partly solidified and doesn&#39;t all move completely freely in the vial then it&#39;s the real thing. Few oil-soluble substances have such relatively low melting point. But if melting point of the powder you got happens to be slightly more than 100°C then this test is inconclusive: you&#39;d need a pressure cooker or an autoclave to heat the vial to slightly more than 100°C. After the test unbend the cap, open the vial, pour liquid[s], seal, and now you&#39;ll have to wait for much longer time (up to a month) until the solidified part of the powder dissolves.</p>

<p>For sterilization put the sealed vial into a pot with tap water, boil the water, keep the water boiling for 30 min, turn off the heat, wait until the water cools off. The cap darkens - that doesn&#39;t matter. If you already have any pressure cooker then use it instead of a pot, else a pot is enough!</p>

<p>If you begin your HRT from injectable estradiol as I describe here then likely in a few weeks you&#39;ll experience pain in breast buds (in many cases only at one side at first) like many cis-girls experience at puberty. The pain is not a sign of a problem and will last not forever.</p>
<p>Dosage I advise stops testosterone production by testicles as completely as surgical removal of testicles, but that will not rid you of the grey shade from shaven mustache and beard - a dead giveaway: you&#39;ll not pass until you <strong>complete</strong> needle electrolysis. Despite false advertising, laser and other hair removal methods using intense light in most cases remove facial hair temporarily, no matter how many sessions. Ignore this wisdom at your peril.</p>
<p>Any estradiol level between 300 and 5000 pg/ml (1100 - 18000 pmol/l) is okay for both pre-ops and post-ops. Estrone level doesn&#39;t matter. All doctors&#39; assertions &#34;too much&#34; are bullshit meant to control us and extort money under guise of &#34;care&#34;. The only reasonable cause to do a blood test for estradiol (once, at least a month after first injection, only on a day of next injection before it) is your peace of mind that you got indeed estradiol enanthate. But above I described two other ways to check that, and likely you&#39;ll experience pain in breast buds. I tested a new batch of estradiol enanthate powder on myself, my blood estradiol level was 1272 pg/ml = 4670 pmol/l 5 days after an injection. I had SRS in 1999, I needn&#39;t to suppress testosterone. Nevertheless, I don&#39;t intend to decrease my dosage. It slows down aging, on it I look and feel better.</p>

<h1><a name="Myths-and-what-not-to-do"></a>Myths and what not to do</h1>
<p>Above I explained about some myths and fallacies. Some more:</p>
<p>Myth: <span style="background-color: #ff99cc">discard a vial 30 days after you began it</span>. Bureaucrats get their salaries for inventing new rules, no matter how unreasonable. This rule was invented for hospitals with multiple patients (some with infectious diseases), not for your home.</p>
<p>Fallacy: <span style="background-color: #ff99cc">use separate needles for drawing and injection</span>. It&#39;s easy to bend needle tip on hard glass ampule bottom while drawing from an all-glass single-dose ampule, it&#39;s where the myth of &#34;needle blunting&#34; originates. Insulin syringes with non-detachable needles are designed for insulin vials also with rubber stoppers.</p>
<p>If an average doctor prescribes injectable estradiol, he says nothing about needles, he says &#34;<span style="background-color: #ff99cc">inject into muscle</span>&#34; because the gospel (instructions sold with injectable estradiol) says so (without explanation why - really it&#39;s because the solvent used with EV sometimes causes allergy, then IM helps). You go to a pharmacy and ask for intramuscular injections. An average pharmacist asks you for injection volume (less than 1 ml) and sells you 2 ml syringes, each syringe comes with a needle in the same pack. Manufacturers put long needles with 10 ml syringes and shorter needles with 2 ml syringes. Why? Aesthetics. :-/ You get syringes with dead space and needles 25 mm long, you inject into buttock. You, pharmacist, nurse and doctor think that you inject into muscle. Really fat layer in buttocks is thicker even in very skinny people. You in fact inject into fat. And... it works. Gospels are full of fallacies.</p>
<p>Fallacy: after sticking the needle in your skin, <span style="background-color: #ff99cc">you must aspirate to check whether you hit a blood vessel</span>. There aren&#39;t significant blood vessels in buttocks at 13 mm (1/2&#34;) depth. If you aspirate, you wound yourself because of inevitable needle movements sideways.</p>
<p>Don&#39;t give a vial into the hands of a doctor, he&#39;d destroy it. Doctors are jealous.</p>
<p>Don&#39;t use an emulator (calculator of blood levels). It uses average statistical data, but <strong>you</strong> are not a statistically average person.</p>
<p>Myth: <span style="background-color: #ff99cc">begin from pills (low dosage), then after some time switch to injections</span>. Doctors love to begin from low dosage because that keeps them busy and paid. So they invent explanations why it&#39;s allegedly better. People repeat doctor claims.</p>

<h1><a name="Without-gatekeepers"></a>Without gatekeepers</h1>
<p>Endocrinologists usually require a letter/referral from gatekeepers: psychotherapists, psychologists, sexologists or psychiatrists. Not because endocrinologists care for you, but because they care for themselves: they fear that you regret and sue them for causing you bodily harm. There isn&#39;t a medical examination, blood or psychological test able to prove or disprove presence or absence of transsexualism in each separate person. Statistics is meaningless when the question is whether you&#39;ll regret social transition or not. So, gatekeepers make appearances of &#34;examination&#34; and stall you for long time while milking you (or insurance/taxpayers) for money.</p>
<p>Medical professionals routinely make mistakes in both directions: approve crazy people and unnecessarily delay transsexuals who&#39;ll not regret.</p>

<p>MtF HRT with an estrogen without antiandrogens is called &#34;monotherapy&#34;. Oral estradiol 20 mg/day (10 mg twice a day) suppresses testosterone production by testicles completely, so antiandrogens are unnecessary.

<p>Only 5% of swallowed estradiol reaches blood. Sublingually (under the tongue) or subbuccally (between a lip and a gum) gives better absorption, but I don&#39;t believe that more than in 1.5 times, can cause mood swings and soon becomes too inconvenient. Transdermal patches and gels with estradiol are even more expensive than pills. One more way to deliver estradiol is injections, 100% absorption. If the solution is concentrated then you can use insulin syringes. Estradiol valerate (EV) 40 mg/ml 0.18 ml every 5 days or estradiol enanthate (EEn) 50 mg/ml 0.22 ml weekly is as effective as oral estradiol 20 mg/day, but is cheaper.

Finasteride is necessary despite complete suppression of testosterone production by testicles by injectable estradiol or/and surgical removal of testicles because of DHEA production by adrenals. Finasteride blocks DHEA-&gt;T-&gt;DHT conversion inside hair follicle cells which is unnoticed by blood tests.</p>

<p>It really is that simple after you throw out all the bullshit about &#34;physiological&#34; or &#34;target&#34; levels and learn all the details which side effects are real and which aren&#39;t.</p>
<p>Why I chose this dosage to advise for monotherapy: with it I can be sure that it&#39;s enough for any MtF without blood tests. Different people on the same dosage get blood estradiol level differing in up to 10 times. Sensitivity of different people for the same level of the same hormone differs in times. Sensitivity is as important as levels. There isn&#39;t a test for sensitivity. In USA a blood test without prescription costs $76 (<a href="https://www.privatemdlabs.com/lab_tests.php?view=category_result&amp;show=1032&amp;category=6&amp;ven=&amp;search=#1032" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">1</a> <a href="https://www.labsmd.com/tests.php?view=search_results&amp;show=2222&amp;search=estradiol#2222" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">2</a> <a href="https://newcenturylabs.com/product/estradiol" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">3a</a>+<a href="https://newcenturylabs.com/product/testosterone-total-females" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">3b</a>) and is available not everywhere. In UK <a href="https://medichecks.com/products/testosterone-and-oestradiol-blood-test" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">£89</a>. In Australia <a href="https://imedical.com.au/order/blood-tests/hormone-testing-australia/testosterone-blood-test" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">$69</a>. In many countries only with prescription, and doctors refuse to prescribe tests for meds they didn&#39;t prescribe. My or DIY injectables without blood tests are cheaper than lower dosage with several blood tests. And no time wasted on determining barely enough dosage.</p>
<p>I don&#39;t believe that beginning from lower estradiol dosage (possible safely only with addition of bicalutamide) gives better results. Doctors love to begin from low estrogen dosage with lots of blood tests because this keeps them busy and paid. So they claim that it&#39;s allegedly better. Doctors in other countries parrot that. There isn&#39;t any evidence. People repeat doctors&#39; claims.</p>

<p>Don&#39;t buy estradiol valerate because it&#39;s inferior: requires injections every 5 days and either lower concentration (more oil to inject) or addition of a solvent (benzyl benzoate) which costs money and sometimes causes allergy. Both estradiol valerate and estradiol enanthate are converted to the same estradiol in blood. Estradiol enanthate is absorbed into blood slower, that gives more stable blood estradiol level and allows longer time between injections.</p>

<p>Vendors offer several payment options, some vendors take payment via Alibaba (allows to pay with card and takes 3% fee). &#34;Aoksbio&#34; accepts Western Union, Bitcoin and SWIFT (wire/bank transfer), same total price for 10 and 20 g, so order 20 g. If you pay with bank transfer then &#34;Aoksbio&#34; may ask for your ID with the same name as in your bank account (if other payment options then ID is not required).

<p>If the vendor ignores your requirement and sends you micronized powder then it&#39;s suitable but more difficult to work with because clings to everything.</p>

<p>You can buy a 129°C autoclave for $130, but it&#39;s not really necessary as you make vials for yourself only. 121°C was necessary for obsolete reusable syringes with fresh blood of another patient because hepatitis B virus can survive 100°C for short time if in blood. You are not dealing with fresh blood, so 100°C (water boiling in a pot) is enough. I use an autoclave just for customers&#39; peace of mind. At first I sold kits with EV powder, solvent, preservative and instructions how to mix and sterilize in a pot, multiple people including myself sterilized at 100°C, never a problem. If you live at significant altitude (like in Denver &#34;mile high city&#34;) then likely you already have a pressure cooker.

<p>American &#34;homebrewing&#34; bodybuilders were afraid that their anabolics would be &#34;inactivated&#34; during heat sterilization, so they started the filtering fad: they assumed (wrong) that 0.2 μm filtering sterilizes. Filtering is <strong>not</strong> a reliable sterilization. I can understand filtering for intravenous infusions liters per day (in ICU), but for our subcutaneous injections 1 ml/month filtering doesn&#39;t make sense. There were multiple complaints that some EV ampules made by pharmaceutical factories in India are fake. I think not deliberately fake but just incompetent technologists and managers: they mixed in a tank in an air-conditioned cold (to limit bacteria) room without solvent for not enough time, then undissolved powder got stuck in a filter. If you are paranoid and insist on following the filtering fad then wait several days until every last clump of powder finishes dissolving in a vial, then use a PTFE hydrophobic 0.22 μm 25 mm syringe filter and a homemade filtering rig, I made mine (for paranoid customers, I don&#39;t filter what I inject into myself) from 4 stacks of books, a piece of plywood/MDF with a hole for a 10 ml Luer Lock syringe, a wide wooden plank/board, a 6 l (1.5 gallon) plastic bottle with water as a weight, the plank slightly tilted and leaning on a wall for stability.

<h3><a name="Oil"></a>Oil</h3>
<p>MCT oil (liquid, not powder, not in capsules, without flavor added) - cheapest bottle you can find, in a local sports nutrition store or mail-order. It&#39;s the only ingredient with somewhat limited shelf life: roughly 5 years as rumored though bottles are usually marked with arbitrary shelf life 2 years. You&#39;ll use up 10 ml per year. In USA you can mail-order a 2 oz (60 ml) sample bottle <a href="https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=mct+oil&amp;_sacat=0&amp;LH_BIN=1&amp;_sop=15&amp;_fcid=1&amp;_blrs=recall_filtering&amp;_ipg=240" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">on eBay</a> for $6 including shipping. Check prices also on Amazon. In local stores smallest bottle can be 400 ml, roughly $13. MCT oil is marketed as a food supplement to be taken 15 ml/day, taken orally is rapidly absorbed. You&#39;ll inject 500 times less, so any purity is okay (it&#39;s really all the same purity despite some dishonest sellers&#39; claims).</p>
<h3><a name="Preservative-28optional29"></a>Preservative (optional)</h3>
<p>Optionally you can add a preservative (antibacterial): benzyl alcohol. You&#39;ll use up 7 ml for 30 years. If you are in USA then smallest bottle (20 ml) is $7 <a href="https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=%22benzyl+alcohol%22&amp;_sacat=0&amp;LH_TitleDesc=0&amp;_blrs=recall_filtering&amp;LH_BIN=1&amp;_sop=15&amp;_fcid=1&amp;_oac=1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">on eBay</a>.

<h3><a name="Syringes-for-mixing"></a>Syringes for mixing</h3>
<p>Measure MCT oil with a 10 ml (or 5 ml) syringe. If you can find an all-plastic syringe without (usually black) rubber at the inner end of the plunger then one syringe will last you forever. Else likely you&#39;ll have to take a new disposable syringe every time you cook a few vials (up to 5 years apart) because the oil very slowly spoils that rubber. Vial stoppers are made from resistant rubber.</p>
<p>If you add a preservative then use one of syringes you bought for injections (see below) to measure 0.2 ml.</p>
<h2><a name="Mix"></a>Mix</h2>
<p>Make a small funnel from a piece of foil (the thicker foil the better; shinier side inside), hold it folded with a small piece of sticky tape. If you have only thin foil then perhaps strengthen it by wide sticky tape on another side (or strip the outer paint from an aluminium can from beer or a soft drink with nail polish remover, then cut the can with scissors). May be use something conical to wrap the foil around before cutting off unneeded parts. The hole at the pointy end of the funnel must be slightly (not much) smaller than the opening in the vial. Use this funnel to weigh up estradiol enanthate powder and to pour the powder into a vial. The funnel I&#39;m using at the center, unfolded piece of foil from my previous funnel at the left, a funnel in a vial at the right:</p>

<p>Two recipes I can recommend:</p>
<p>1) 500 mg = 0.5 g of estradiol enanthate (density 1.1 g/cm<sup><small>3</small></sup>),<br/>benzyl alcohol (preservative - antibacterial) 0.2 ml,<br/>MCT oil 10-0.2-0.5/1.1= 9.35 ml.</p>
<p>2) 0.5 g of estradiol enanthate,<br/>MCT oil 10-0.5/1.1= 9.55 ml.</p>
<p>Sit comfortably at a table, put the scales onto the center of a sheet of blank paper (&#34;landscape&#34; orientation: width more than height). Put the funnel onto the circle on the scales, pointy side to the left (as at the center of the photo above). Turn the scales on, wait for 0.000<br/>Pour estradiol enanthate powder onto the funnel over the center of the circle on the scales until the scales show any number between 0.500 and 0.503<br/>If you poured too much, take excess powder off with a knife tip. Don&#39;t fuss over part of powder which may fall off through the pointy end of the funnel or elsewhere, it&#39;s what the paper sheet is for.</p>
<p>If you see that this amount of the mix doesn&#39;t fit entirely in the wide part of the vial and goes into narrower vial neck then these Chinese vials are too small, then after complete dissolution use an insulin syringe to throw out 1 ml of the solution, and make next vials with 8 ml, recipes:<br/>1) 0.4 g of estradiol enanthate,<br/>benzyl alcohol 0.16 ml,<br/>MCT oil 8-0.16-0.4/1.1= 7.5 ml;<br/>2) 0.4 g of estradiol enanthate,<br/>MCT oil 8-0.4/1.1= 7.65 ml.</p>
<p>Sit comfortably at a table, put the scales onto the center of a sheet of blank paper (&#34;landscape&#34; orientation: width more than height). Put the funnel onto the circle on the scales, pointy side to the left (as at the center of the photo above). Turn the scales on, wait for 0.000<br/>Take estradiol enanthate powder from the bag on the tip of a small knife, pour onto the funnel over the center of the circle on the scales until the scales show any number between 0.501 and 0.503<br/>If you poured too much, take excess powder off with the knife tip. Don&#39;t fuss over part of powder which may fall off through the pointy end of the funnel or elsewhere, it&#39;s what the paper sheet is for.</p>
<p>Take an empty vial with fingers of left hand, put the vial hole to the pointy end of the funnel. Lightly press the funnel into the vial with left index finger (it&#39;s the most tricky part: you must prevent the funnel from falling off the vial and spilling the powder, but you must press lightly to not crumple the foil). Carefully rotate the vial upright together with the funnel over the paper sheet while continuing holding the funnel in the vial with the left index finger. Take a plastic pen or wooden pencil with right hand, tap lightly multiple times on the glass vial you hold in left hand fingers to shake the funnel until all the powder pours from the funnel into the vial.</p>
<p>If some powder fell off, use knife tip to put most of it back into the bag.</p>
<p>An alternate way without a funnel: take a roll of usual kitchen foil (any thickness), with scissors cut a square about 5 cm (2&#34;) on a side. Touch only corners of the square (because powder can stick to fingerprints). The square should be pristine, without creases. Put the square on the scales, turn the scales on. Take some estradiol enanthate powder from the bag with knife tip, pour onto the square. Then more, until the scales show any number between 0.501 and 0.503 . If you poured too much, take the excess back with knife tip. Put an empty vial onto the paper sheet near the scales. Put two fingers under centers of two opposite sides of the square, bend the square until those two sides come together. Then clench these two sides together with fingers of another hand, take the square with powder off the scales. Pour the powder from the square into a vial. When you mix next vial, perhaps cut a new pristine square.</p>
<p>Now you may optionally draw 0.2 ml of benzyl alcohol into a syringe, pour it into the vial over the powder and watch as the powder sags a little and partially dissolves.</p>
<p>Measure the MCT oil with a syringe and pour into the vial.</p>
<p>Close the vial with the rubber stopper, put the cap onto the stopper. While pressing the cap onto the vial, put the vial upside down (cap down) onto a book. While pressing the vial down, bend the rim of the cap in several (8-10) places with a spoon handle so that the cap holds the stopper at place. Don&#39;t press too strongly to not shatter the glass.</p>

<p>Wait several days, shake up the first vial few times each day. The warmer in the room, the faster dissolving. If the powder dissolved completely to clear solution then you were sold the real thing and enough pure. For next vials don&#39;t wait.</p>
<p>Another way to make sure that you got really estradiol enanthate is checking melting point of the powder: it may be slightly less or slightly more than 100°C. Measure/pour 500 mg more powder into another vial, don&#39;t pour liquids yet, close the vial, but bend the cap rim in only 3 places. Put the vial into a pot with tap water, boil the water (while watching the powder in it), turn the heat off, wait for the water to cool off, take the vial out of the water. If the powder partly solidified and doesn&#39;t all move completely freely in the vial then it&#39;s the real thing. Few oil-soluble substances have such relatively low melting point. But if melting point of the powder you got happens to be slightly more than 100°C then this test is inconclusive: you&#39;d need a pressure cooker or an autoclave to heat the vial to slightly more than 100°C. After the test unbend the cap, open the vial, pour liquid[s], seal, and now you&#39;ll have to wait for much longer time (up to a month) until the solidified part of the powder dissolves.</p>

<p>Myth: <span style="background-color: #ff99cc">discard a vial 30 days after you began it</span>. Bureaucrats get their salaries for inventing new rules, no matter how unreasonable. This rule was invented for hospitals with multiple patients (some with infectious diseases), not for your home.</p>
<p>Fallacy: <span style="background-color: #ff99cc">use separate needles for drawing and injection</span>. It&#39;s easy to bend needle tip on hard glass ampule bottom while drawing from an all-glass single-dose ampule, it&#39;s where the myth of &#34;needle blunting&#34; originates. Insulin syringes with non-detachable needles are designed for insulin vials also with rubber stoppers.</p>
<p>If an average doctor prescribes injectable estradiol, he says nothing about needles, he says &#34;<span style="background-color: #ff99cc">inject into muscle</span>&#34; because the gospel (instructions sold with injectable estradiol) says so (without explanation why - really it&#39;s because the solvent used with EV sometimes causes allergy, then IM helps). You go to a pharmacy and ask for intramuscular injections. An average pharmacist asks you for injection volume (less than 1 ml) and sells you 2 ml syringes, each syringe comes with a needle in the same pack. Manufacturers put long needles with 10 ml syringes and shorter needles with 2 ml syringes. Why? Aesthetics. :-/ You get syringes with dead space and needles 25 mm long, you inject into buttock. You, pharmacist, nurse and doctor think that you inject into muscle. Really fat layer in buttocks is thicker even in very skinny people. You in fact inject into fat. And... it works. Gospels are full of fallacies.</p>
<p>Fallacy: after sticking the needle in your skin, <span style="background-color: #ff99cc">you must aspirate to check whether you hit a blood vessel</span>. There aren&#39;t significant blood vessels in buttocks at 13 mm (1/2&#34;) depth. If you aspirate, you wound yourself because of inevitable needle movements sideways.</p>
<p>Don&#39;t give a vial into the hands of a doctor, he&#39;d destroy it. Doctors are jealous.</p>
<p>Don&#39;t use an emulator (calculator of blood levels). It uses average statistical data, but <strong>you</strong> are not a statistically average person.</p>
<p>Myth: <span style="background-color: #ff99cc">begin from pills (low dosage), then after some time switch to injections</span>. Doctors love to begin from low dosage because that keeps them busy and paid. So they invent explanations why it&#39;s allegedly better. People repeat doctor claims.</p>

<p>3) Estradiol develops ducts in milk glands, progesterone develops alveoles. Most of breast volume is ducts and connective tissue between them. If an alveole formed (at the end of a duct), that duct will not grow in length anymore. So, progesterone can stunt breast growth. Cyproterone acetate too, it&#39;s a strong progestogen.</p>
<p>I advise <strong>not</strong> to add progesterone for at least 3 years since starting estradiol injections at least 40 mg/month (<strong>not</strong> since the very beginning of HRT). Or never add progesterone. Though progesterone is a female hormone, that doesn&#39;t mean that it&#39;s beneficial for MtF (no uterus).</p>
<p>Myth: an article linked from Wikipedia <span style="background-color: #ff99cc">claimed a case of prolactinoma as a side effect of estradiol enanthate</span>. Actually factory-made injections with estradiol enanthate always contain also high dosage of a progestin. Cyproterone acetate is a strong progestin and is known to cause prolactinoma. One more reason to never add progesterone if you haven&#39;t an uterus.</p>
<p>Myth: <span style="background-color: #ff99cc">compounding pharmacies make superior products</span>. If you get exceptionally lucky and find a doctor willing to prescribe as high injectable estradiol dosage as I advise who doesn&#39;t freak out at blood test results (you&#39;d have to pay to gatekeeprs, doctor, pharmacy and labs), compounding pharmacies in few countries can cook injectable estradiol with prescription. No compounding pharmacy would have estradiol enanthate powder, and I doubt that they can make estradiol cypionate (EC) 50 mg/ml because factory-made EC is 5 mg/ml max. They cannot make more than 10 mg/ml without solvent (benzyl benzoate) which can cause allergy. They use other oils which also cause allergy more often than MCT oil. But the main their problem is that they never mix in each vial separately and often repeat Indian factories&#39; mistake I described above: undissolved powder gets stuck in a filter, so you get much less estradiol than prescribed (often happens in Canada). Another example of their stupidity: a compounding (&#34;Galenic&#34;) pharmacy in Italy <a href="https://imgur.com/a/pmOmypJ" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">used</a> ethoxylated Castor oil (essentially a soap) instead of plain Castor oil, so of course injections hurt immensely and were ineffective. If you want it to be done right, Do It Yourself.</p>

<p>MCT oil (liquid, not powder, not in capsules, without flavor added) - cheapest bottle you can find, in a local sports nutrition store or mail-order. It&#39;s the only ingredient with somewhat limited shelf life: roughly 5 years as rumored though bottles are usually marked with arbitrary shelf life 2 years. You&#39;ll use up 10 ml per year. In USA you can mail-order a 2 oz (60 ml) sample bottle <a href="https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=mct+oil&amp;_sacat=0&amp;LH_BIN=1&amp;_sop=15&amp;_fcid=1&amp;_blrs=recall_filtering&amp;_ipg=240" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">on eBay</a> for $6 including shipping. Check prices also on Amazon. In local stores smallest bottle can be 400 ml, roughly $13. MCT oil is marketed as a food supplement to be taken 15 ml/day, taken orally is rapidly absorbed. You&#39;ll inject 500 times less, so any purity is okay (it&#39;s really all the same purity despite some dishonest sellers&#39; claims).</p>

<p>Make a small funnel from a piece of foil (the thicker foil the better; shinier side inside), hold it folded with a small piece of sticky tape. If you have only thin foil then perhaps strengthen it by wide sticky tape on another side (or try to strip the outer paint from a few different beer or soft drink aluminium cans with nail polish remover, then cut a clean can with scissors). May be use something conical to wrap the foil around before cutting off unneeded parts. The hole at the pointy end of the funnel must be slightly (not much) smaller than the opening in the vial. Use this funnel to weigh up estradiol enanthate powder and to pour the powder into a vial.

<p>MCT oil (liquid, not powder, not in capsules, without flavor added) - cheapest bottle you can find, in a local sports nutrition store or mail-order. It&#39;s the only ingredient with somewhat limited shelf life: roughly 5 years as rumored though bottles are usually marked with arbitrary shelf life 2 years. You&#39;ll use up 10 ml per year. In USA you can mail-order a 2 oz (60 ml) sample bottle <a href="https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=mct+oil&amp;_sacat=0&amp;LH_BIN=1&amp;_sop=15&amp;_fcid=1&amp;_blrs=recall_filtering&amp;_ipg=240" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">on eBay</a> for $6 including shipping. Check prices also on Amazon. In local stores smallest bottle can be 400 ml, roughly $13. MCT oil is marketed as a food supplement to be taken 15 ml/day, taken orally is rapidly absorbed. You&#39;ll inject 500 times less, so any purity is okay (it&#39;s really all the same purity despite some dishonest sellers&#39; claims).</p>

<p>Make a small funnel from a piece of foil (the thicker foil the better; shinier side inside), hold it folded with a small piece of sticky tape. If you have only thin foil then perhaps strengthen it by wide sticky tape on another side (or try to strip the outer paint from a few different beer or soft drink aluminium cans with nail polish remover, then cut a clean can with scissors). May be use something conical to wrap the foil around before cutting off unneeded parts. The hole at the pointy end of the funnel must be slightly (not much) smaller than the opening in the vial. Use this funnel to weigh up estradiol enanthate powder and to pour the powder into a vial. The funnel I&#39;m using at the center, unfolded piece of foil from my previous funnel at the left, a funnel in a vial at the right:</p>
