I made a math error and I realised I am overdosing. Or at least, burning through my supplies faster than needed.

This will go down as one of the most shameful mistakes of my entire life. I have brought dishonor upon the whole of Asia.

I was supposed to take 0.13 ml per 10 days (lower end of recomended supply). I wanted to do weekly injections. So I decided to multiply by 10/7 to adjust and get a weekly dose, yielding about 0.18 ml per week.

Except to get a weekly dose I should have multiplied by 7/10. In hindsight, I can’t believe I made a mistake this dumb and potentially risky.

So, uh, I guess I’ll just take 0.18 ml per 10 days (upper end of recomended supply). This will save me supplies, and also I hate giving myself injections. I definitely want to make sure all my testosterone is suppressed cause otherwise I will feel like shit. So I’ll still remain at the upper level.

But then again, I am not sure if slightly lowering my dose like this will cause mood swings. I’m not actually even that sure that I really am overdosing because I weigh more than average. I’ll just try a 10 day schedule for a while and see what happens.

For anyone who followed my previous post about hair, this isn’t related to that (it’s just a coincidence). I am not lowering my dose to appease my mom or anything.

    What type of estrogen are you taking? I’m on 20mg/mL estradiol valerate, and I inject .25mL subcutaneously every week. So that means I inject 5mg per week. On injection day before injection, most recently I had about 175pg/mL of estradiol on my blood test.

    Anyway, I don’t know what type of estrogen you’re on, maybe it’s 30mg/mL or a different type. But in any case, I really don’t think you should be worried.
