When I was working in a chemistry lab and a bio student, I had no clue what it was. Was using it to improve aeration of a liquid. I assumed it was some small molecule with two -OH groups and maybe thought it was funny its name was similar to estrogen, but didn’t think someone would consider using estrogen for such a weird thing.
From experience, almost no one knows what those two medications are. Only some people do; They just assume I’m on birth control and that’s not often.
i figured “estradiol” was so similar to “estrogen” that most people could figure it out, but i guess not.
god i feel fucking AWFUL today because of that
I understand why you do, but you shouldn’t. It’s an understable fear and I’ve ditched more important things for less valid reasons.
