No worries! I always take questions lol
Prog is short for progesterone, a drug that is useful in hormone therapy ❤️
Ok, thank you! so as an afab I'm familiar with progesterone, is there a reason it gets boofed? (Anal insertion, as it sounds like from the post, or is this a shot to the glutes and I’m misreading it?)
As i understand it (sorry couldnt quickly find a good source soo take with salt grains) prog generally works better with the boof method(didnt think id type that today 😂) and there is oral doses but theyre far more ineffective. As i recall there isnt a shot you can take of prog.
(Someone please correct me if im wrong lol)
I could see that being the case I suppose. The anus is full of blood vessels, and boofing gets it straight to the blood stream instead of breaking down into metabolites in the digestive system. Just very different than any hormone therapy I’ve heard of, for like menopause and stuff. Tho that could just be that old rich white women won’t stick fingers up the bum..
Now I wonder if ftm have something similar that gets vaginally inserted (only non-oral hole with more blood vessels than the anus is the vagina!)
Thanks for the info, I feel more informed :)
Your welcome! Anytime ❤️
Better to have more informed people, thats how we all get along (ideally)
There's prog that's designed to be taken vaginally
Take this with a huge grain of salt again, but iirc, trans men lose some internal vaginal vascularity and gain it back in (mostly the external portion of) the clitoris, so that might become less effective the longer the HRT continues.
Apparently, there is, but it has some downsides...
Apparently, in my country, there is Agolutin. But, I mean, boofing is working just fine...I do NOT need more injections 😆
Agolutin
Also seems to be 60mg/2ml in an ampule. That's just a large injection volume...
Yeah no. I'll take boofing prog
For sure! Thats a yikes from me on daily injects lol
