Hi everybody!

I'd originally planned on having a big effort post, but I've had some Bad Brain^TM^ the last couple weeks so that'll just have to wait until next time.

In the meantime, it's my 2 year HRT Anniversary! These past couple years have also been the first time I've really been in community with other trans folx; I've had so many breakthroughs and discoveries of myself that I don't think would have been possible without that and I can't be thankful enough.

I hope everybody has a lovely week!

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

I think my syringes also waste a lot, I'll probably buy some different ones

It is less complicated to just get low deadspace syringes (with a fixed needle, like insulin syringes), but there is also an airlock technique which can also be used to reduce the deadspace waste. I can explain more if you want. @BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net

I was going to buy fixed needle insulin syringes, because I don't even like the ones I have too so...

I never use an airlock at work when Im giving injections, just cause I dont want to risk sq emphysema but I guess the small bubbles even if you did manage to inject the air past the hub is very small and would be absorbed without issue. For me, my pharmacy gives us around 5%-10% more than prescribed and by the end of my vial theres still a teensy tiny bit extra - but not every pharmacy is trans owned and independent...
