ugh, I hate erections - how long have you been on EEn, how frequently are you injecting, and how much? AFAIK it can take a minute for the blood E levels to rise and stay sustained on EEn, I had a much better time suppressing T immediately with estradiol valerate (EV) than what I’ve heard from girls on EEn, but overall I think EEn is probably a better time once you have stabilized levels.
I’m sorry your date flaked and your friend hasn’t been available, but I wouldn’t read too much into that - you don’t know why the date fell through, it may have nothing to do with you and everything to do with their life. And sorta same for the friend.
Just hang in there and try not to take it personally, it usually gets better 💜
Yeah, I don’t mind them too much when they’re intentional (i.e. during sex/masturbation) but at any other time they’re awful, I use gaffs to tuck and the result of an erection in a gaff is both dysphoric and painful 😔
I’ve been on EEn for 8 months, currently at a dose of 5.5mg every 7 days (I started at 5mg and upped it after the first 3 months) which felt like it was working decently well for T suppression up until the last couple of weeks, but my mood’s been all over the place (and not in the inconvenient-but-affirming way of bursts of happy or sad tears I was getting for a while) on top of the physical symptoms.
And I know you’re right about the date and my friend, the logical part of my brain agrees, but I’m a chronic overthinker when it comes to these things and it’s tough to silence the anxiety/depression thoughts 😥
Thanks so much for the thoughtful response, I really appreciate it 💜
