I Love You Jean Vicquemare

I was allergic to my carrier oils too and it was BAD, I was so confused because i went to a teach appointment and did injections with saline myself to practice, and it was fine; but as soon as I started T I was having full body allergic reactions and massive sores where I was doing my injections.

Anyway alternatives exist and now im on gel, thank GOD I have an uncle who’s on T injections (he’s cis but has a hormone imbalance) who I could ask advice.

PSA for trans people, trans mascs and fems, and enbies & intersex folks on T or E injections (or injections in general):

Your injections should AT WORST feel like a hard pinch if you hit a vein on accident. It should NOT sting the whole time, itch, be tender for more than a day, and should not cause significant bruising. (Edit!: This is the weekly injections, the monthly or longer lasting injections are sore for a while because the liquid is THICC.)

I was not told this when I started, and missed that I was allergic to my shots for the first 2 months I was on T. There is more than one type of carrier oil, and the type of T they prescribe most often is more likely to have allergic reactions (cypionate with cottonseed oil). You should not have to suffer more just to get your gender juice. You can also gain allergies over time, so if you start experiencing these symptoms, check in with your doctor!

(Another Edit: PLEASE talk to your doctor before assuming stuff, I'm just a guy on the internet trying to make sure that y'all have more info.)

Tips for less painful/irritated injections I've gotten from people (all anecdotal, again, check with your doc):

-Intramuscular injections are usually less likely to be irritated than subcutaneous ones.

-Lightly wiping down the needle you are going to inject with with some rubbing alcohol before injecting. (Make sure it dries)

-Rub VERY hard with your alcohol wipe before injecting to numb up the skin a little bit.

-Make sure to rub the vial between your hands to warm it before using the draw up needle. It makes the fluid less thick, so it’s less painful to inject.

(I'll add more if people share)

i could smell your boytoy coming from down the road. Wretched little rotted morsel of a thing, may he fall to time and become carrion

FART I was supposed to be drawing but I got sucked into the tumblr vortex. How did I get here what happened

Bayverse tranformers when they're transforming is erotic to me

platonic third base: when you get to know someone well enough that they start making mortifyingly specific observations about you
