Abt switch
The Abt switch is a kind of railway switch used on funiculars (inclined cable railways) that doesn't have any moving parts. It allows two cars to pass each other going uphill/downhill while sharing the same tracks. While most train switches rely on physically moving a section of track so the train goes one way or the other, the abt switch doesn't move at all. Instead each carriage has a grooved wheel which makes it turn left or right at a junction by sticking to the track on one side.

yea these levels are good and whats normally recommended by the diy community (ie big homebrewers n such) and are also levels typically found in female puberty and have given many a many a trans girl good results
the most common diy dose is 4mg EEn and it sits at ~130pg/mL on that simulator (tho we recommend https://estrannai.se/ as its found to be generally more accurate) which is in the range specified
doctors often recommend levels lower than that, which is the problem (among many things)
moreover, doctors are liars and thieves, and not to be trusted. do your own research, advocate for yourself, dont assume they know what theyre doing or that they will give you the correct treatment. this goes for basically everything, but especially for trans people, especially for women, especially for those who are disabled or think they might be, etc.
4mg/week though, right? That's what I've seen homebrew recommend, or more for every 10 days. 4mg/week is like 250~300.
I haven't seen papers but I have seen people rec 200-300 pg/ml, inline with what both homebrewers I'm looking at recommend their doses at (4mg/week and 7mg/10 days).
edit: https://hexbear.net/post/6373414/6570932 Yea, you're doing 4mg/week same as me. That's like 250-300 on the calculator? Not trying to argue or gotcha or anything I'm just trying to understand because it sounds like you're recommending kinda low levels? But ik you're knowledgeable so its just confusing me
sorry im like hella tired and didnt change the time thing. its been a long day/days
anyway the 100-200 is just a general guideline you can go higher than that if u wants :p my levels were like 220 or 230 something and im pretty happy with that
im just giving what ive heard the general sentiment in diy spaces has been, also those are recommended levels at trough not at peak so itll change slightly (but a lot more with EV) but if u wanna be higher go for it
No you're good
I hope you get some rest soon.
Okay I see, thank you
