DIY HRT
!diyhrt@lemmy.blahaj.zone
Welcome!
This community exists for trans people and others to give each other advice and support regarding HRT.
Keep in mind that none of us are doctors. Read up on how to do things properly and double check any advice you are given.
Rules
- Follow the instance rules.
- Be accurate.
- Don’t make others worry unnecessarily.
- Sources are appreciated.
Quick Facts
- Different routes (oral vs injections vs trans-dermal etc) have the same results. Pick whichever option you are most comfortable with.
- If you’re doing feminizing hrt your boobs will randomly grow in bursts. Chest pain going away is perfectly normal.
- It’s unreliable to estimate your hormone levels based on signs. Take blood tests if they are available to you.
- Remember to eat well and exercise! This will help you grow properly and look more masculine on testosterone or more feminine on estradiol.

Injection Guide
The diyhrt.info link has some more information on injections. This pdf is a guide for injections when using prescribed HRT, and the needle sizes may not be optimal for DIY. It is otherwise a great guide. https://0x2640.estrogen.productions/ic33b9es.pdf

Blåhaj Lemmy
Blåhaj Lemmy is brought to you by the kind folk at Blåhaj Zone, and while anyone is free to register for an account here, please bear in mind that this is a server that is very protective of our minority members and bigotry of any variety will be squashed with great prejudice.
We have three alternative lemmy frontends
We have a public matrix channel for all Blahaj users at #blahaj:chat.blahaj.zone
We also have a matrix channel for gender diverse folk and our allies! If you’re already a matrix user, you can head straight to our application room https://matrix.to/#/#gv-apply:chat.blahaj.zone, or by searching for #gv-apply:chat.blahaj.zone from within your matrix client.
If you’re new to matrix, you can find some more details and an instruction video on how to get up and running here https://chat.blahaj.zone/c/genderverse/
Community Guidelines
Blåhaj Lemmy is a space where everyone should feel able to participate safely, and to that end, our community is built on the guiding philosophies of empathy, inclusion and acceptance.
Empathy
We want our community members to be guided by compassion and empathy for others.
Examples of behaviour that are contrary to this philosophy are personal attacks, insults, doxing etc. If your comment is designed to hurt someone, this isn’t the space for it.
Inclusion and Acceptance
Embracing inclusion and acceptance means listening when people tell you who they are and what their needs are. It means not telling people that you know their experiences better than they do. It means not gatekeeping experiences of identities of others. It means no bigotry such as racism, sexism, anti LGBT commentary, ableism etc. It means doing your best to ensure that you don’t over-talk the voices of folk who don’t share your privileges.
Supporting Blåhaj Lemmy
After much hesitation, we have a Ko Fi to enable people to help with supporting some of the running costs associated with our instances.
Providing a safe space for our community is the goal, so please only consider donating if you are in a position to do so without any financial stress.
Mascot and logo
