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.
Right now my idea is to buy raw estradiol valerate powder, dissolve it in PG/everclear and use volumetric liquid dosing for accurate dosing. Buying the powder raw is A LOT cheaper from what I’m seeing, and the source I found has something non-hrt related I also really want.
I’m definitely tempted to check out gel. It would be more expensive, but I do want the most efficient ROA without injections. From my research, there’s also a chance that the valerate I buy is micronized and isn’t suitable for sublingual, so topical is probably a safer bet with the supply available
