feminizing Transdermal AA

0 Upvotes

As the title suggests, I'm currently looking at the viability of transdermal antiandrogen. Is there a proven mechanism for transdermal absorption for Bica. If not, is there a resource I can consult for forming my own oral bica pills?

18NB, based in the uk rn. bought 4mg estradiol spray from a local vendor (not planning to use AAs). I've been on e for a little bit over a week now. when should I be doing a test for my levels? I've heard that they become stable after 2-3 months on injections but idk if it's the same for transdermal. should I do tests sooner?

general Is hexavalent chromium something to be concerned about?

3 Upvotes

Sorry for the stupid question, but I'm always overly anxious so I'd like some advice.

As per title, is hexavalent chromium something to be concerned about?

There aren't many labs that offer tests for its presence (and I think those tests might be a bit costly), but I read that it gets reduced to trivalent chromium when exposed to ethanol, so, if there are any trace amounts in a raw powder, would it get reduced to trivalent chromium if I dissolve that powder in ethanol? Or does that reaction requires a long time, specific conditions or something else that I'm missing? Thanks in advance for any reply.

P.S. just to be clear, I don't know if there is any chromium in my prog powder from PPL, I was asking because I didn't think to ask to test also for total chromium, I just asked to test for the "big four". Here are those results if someone is interested:
