\subsection{What types of injectable estrogen are DIY only?}
Chiefly, \textit{estradiol enanthate}. Pharmaceutical sources will almost always prescribe you \textit{estradiol valerate}, but not always at a 40 mg/ml concentration. \textit{Estradiol cypionate} may occasionally be prescribed, but rarely above 5 mg/ml or 10 mg/ml concentrations, which are annoying to dose. The benefits provided by \textit{estradiol enanthate} alone are very good reasons to consider DIY, but you can get any ester at 40 mg/ml from DIY sources.

\subsection{Should I hold different DIY sources to different standards?}
Likely, yes. Commercial brewers should also be held to a high standard if you are giving them money in exchange for product because they can afford to do it right. A mutual aid product on the other hand that is distributing vials for free might not be something that you can afford to be picky about, although that is not to say that the product is likely to be better or worse. As for a friend or yourself, only you can decide that!

\subsection{There was some air in my syringe. Will I die?}\label{7-7}
No. While you obviously do not want to inject just air and it can affect dosage if there is too much in the syringe, a small amount of air under 0.1ml is almost certainly not going to cause issue for you. It might actually be recommended in some cases. For instance, the \textit{air lock technique} (a standard technique for injecting fluids that are irritating or can stain, not crucial knowledge for HRT) generally involves injecting 0.1-0.3ml of air, so you have nothing to be worried about. You aren’t doing intravenous injections.

\subsection{Can progesterone convert into \textit{dihydrotestosterone} (DHT)?}
No. Well, strictly speaking yes, but also no. It is largely a myth, although \href{https://whsah.co/posts/rethinking-progesterone-and-androgens/}{as outlined in detail by alix in this article}, for cases of people with \textit{nonclassical congenital adrenal hyperplasia} (ncCAH) progesterone can cause some negative side effects of increased androgenic activity. In those cases, discontinuing progesterone is recommended along with seeking out a formal diagnosis/treatment for potential adrenal disorders.
