Just curious if anyone who has gotten depressed on daily prog has had success without stopping the medication. I’m boofing 200mg every night and noticing some positive effects but crying a lot and suffering passive ideation. My mood didn’t really dip until week 3 on this go around so wondering if it’s worth trying a 2 week cycle or if anyone has tried every other night with any success. I only have 200mg capsules at this time so taking a half dose isn’t really possible to my knowledge. Any thoughts are appreciated, I’d like to stay on it for the positives (better sleep, glowing skin, perceived benefits to weight gain and fat deposits) but if I can’t mitigate the negatives I’ll have to stop. Thanks

I have a decent-sized bump at the injection site on my thigh like 5 days after injecting. But aside from the swelling it has no signs of infection, no redness, wound or skin irritation, I have no symptoms other than it being a little sore to press on. It feels like it’s down in the muscle rather than in the skin, and I think that I may have accidentally poked the muscle with my injection because I don’t have much body fat. Does this sound plausible? This has actually happened once or twice before but idk the bump feels bigger than those times and I’m feeling more anxious about it

Is there literally any downside besides using more injection materials? I just take 70% of my old 5 day dose, right? Was doing about 5mg every 5 days so I’m going to go for 3.5 every 3.5.

I thought I’d switch to get on a more regular schedule (fixed days of the week) and just to try to get the most out of my estradiol. I stopped taking prog recently so I want to make sure I’m sufficiently blocking T for my whole injection cycle. I was getting a pretty bad crash near the end of the cycle on a slightly lower dose but it isn’t really happening anymore. I still thought I’d try more frequently though unless there is any significant downside.

It’s almost time to crack open a new one, and I have 2 20mg/ml vials with listed expiration in April 2027 and 3 40mg/ml vials with listed expiration June 2027.

This manufacturer puts the expiration 2 years from date of manufacture. I believe that they will probably last 3-5 years though, because I’m storing them in a cool, dark place.

But in the hypothetical case they start to go bad before I get around to using all of them, I feel like it would make sense to use the 3 stronger concentration ones first even though they don’t expire first. I’d have a harder time throwing away a 40mg/ml vial. Is that sound logic? I realize they all say they expire around the same time, but the fact that the printed date is only a year away now is making me anxious.

Hi, I have a hopefully simple question: at USDA agencies, can one take FMLA as LWOP even with a positive sick leave balance? For example, someone needs 12 weeks off to attend to health concerns, and even though they have 480+ hours of sick leave they would prefer to take the time unpaid and keep the sick leave - is that permissible? Thank you
