Happy 4/20 everyone! I recently started drinking coffee in the last year after never really liking it. Growing up I would try my mom's coffee every once in a while but it always tasted burnt and bitter. Looking back I realize that I didn't like that coffee due to my mom usually steeping it in a French press for 15-20 minutes.
I got into coffee in the last year due to my roommate who worked as a barista making me some and it being actually flavorful. But we were using a drip coffee machine and it wasn't strong enough for my liking. Before I actually started drinking coffee I liked to watch coffee gadget reviews cause I thought they were interesting? Which is how I found out about the aeropress which is my way I make my coffee in the morning.
The aeropress is kind of a three one thing cause it's a pour over, French press and manual espresso machine all in one, in addition I use a hand crank burr grinder to grind my beans and typically only add a bit of creamer as I want to taste the coffee as much as possible I also usually use medium roast beans.
How do you take your coffee/tea?
Oh there are several people here (myself included) who can interpret test results for you, that's no problem.
What I'll say about injections is that they are not difficult, so unless you are terrified of needles you are capable of learning to do your own injections.
Ye, I'm terrified of needles. And the parents I live with would be unwilling to help me, and my sibling I think is also afraid of needles and is moving out soon anyway. I have to get an injection for some of my psych meds, and I can't even watch them do it. I might take y'all up on the offer of reading the results, if that's okay.
Sure.
And just to make sure you know, you can diy oral hrt by buying it from online pharmacies, although it's more expensive and you'll need to use an antiandrogen.
I'll add on to the other comments to say that I was also pretty nervous the first few times, since I was used to anything needle-related being really painful for hours after (from the thick needles used for drawing blood, or vaccines). That went away pretty quickly - the 30-gauge needles I use are so thin (and only poking through a little bit of tummy fat) that it's pretty much painless. I still freak out when getting blood tests, but E injections are no problem anymore :)
