I'm looking into starting DIY, I really just can't wait any longer. However, I am absolutely terrified of needles. I won't be able to shoot myself up with it. I'm looking into the forms of estrogen, and it appears that I can buy the form used for estradiol pills. But I'm finding very little information on DIY that isn't focused on injections. I'm thinking about making a water solution and just taking it out of a dropper, but I know I'd need a preservative to keep it safe for a long time.

Do not swallow the pills, put them under your tongue or inside your cheek, that way it gets into the bloodstream quicker and actually mostly makes into it. I started off with doing 2mg in morning and in the evening, along with bica 150mg every third day. This is woefully too small, in the long term, but it started to move my fat and smoothed my skin along with getting rid of a lot of T bullshit, and was somewhat affordable
