Seriously? Taking the advice from my doctor, im supposed to trash after 4th shot. He says there will be a bit left, but because of contamination(???) he wants me to switch vials every 4th shot.

Like, is that the real reason? Because it physically hurts to throw this away, knowing how much i and others have worked to get this stuff in the first place, and how many sisters cant access it ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Also really seems like a waste of time and resources. Like people had to make this, and that required time effort and money. Are we cool with throwing away the results of so much progress and effort?

Idk, its hitting me now that i have to toss one, these are all questions i have that my doctor will probly hear next time i go in ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

PS. My nails look bad, its been a really rough month, dont talk about it ๐Ÿ˜‚

Thats interesting, idk the similarities or differences in our meds and obviously im not a doctor but you are the first person to mention this breakiing down problem. Maybe its more likely for valerate??

But cypionate (what im on) seems to be shelf stable for years. The consensus ive been hearing is when its open its good for about 6 months safely. Ive heard mention of people going longer, but those are outliers and most agree 6 months is a good rule. I believe at my dose 6 months would make an empty vial.

You have the same concerns i have. I see stories every so often on here of people struggling to get doctors, clinics, pharmacist, psychs etc etc to believe in their transness. Some people it takes years! So i does hurt to throw it away.

Which is why ultimately i wont be doing that. Might use till gone and build a backstock, might donate. Idk yet.

Like i said, not a doctor, but if youre feeling and thinking the same as me then i say its worth doing research into it and seeing if there is something you can do. โค๏ธโค๏ธ
