        Biweekly. I’ve been doing it for almost a year, but it feels like my body spins the roulette wheel every time. Sometimes I’m so nervous my hands shake. Sometimes it feels like the needle (21 gauge) doesn’t want to go in, even though I feel like I’m applying the same amount of force and coming straight down. Sometimes the estradiol will seep out of the injection site after leaving the needle in for a few seconds after I inject and I slowly remove the needle. Sometimes it’s absolutely fine and I feel amazing afterwards.

      Took me an hour and a half to muster the courage to do my first injection. Now I look forward to it when it comes up.

      injections aren’t bad! i had a panic attack doing my first one but after that it’s been fine

      don’t freak out if you bleed like a stuck pig btw, just make a reminder not to stab that area again

      i recommend looking up YouTube videos on the injection BUT ALSO the drawing up process if you haven’t already. there’s a specific technique to getting the needle into the bottle without shooting chunks of rubber into it
