These are the meds and supplies part of my HRT.

  1. Needles (syringes are behind them)
  2. Progesterone
  3. Cyproterone acetate
  4. A spare box of estradiol pills
  5. Vials of estradiol valerate
  6. My auto injector
  7. (not part of HRT) Bupropion, still important.

Honestly, quite a mess, but I can find everything and I like it this way 😄
Does anyone else have a messy/crazy med cabinet for their HRT?

    Haha, what, I was just gonna thank you for being so elaborate <3

    I’m so verbose tho 😭
    (thankfully) Not as much as my dad, lol. I’m going to see him today…
    (I may be wrong, but I think I take more after my mom than my dad. Her eyes, nose, a bit of her facial features, I think? I have a book, “my first book” where my parents wrote stuff about me when I was a newborn. It’s written there that I’m more similar to my mom, which makes me euphoric 😄. Mom is freaking beautiful, had I been cis, i could have legit been a model. Damn it 😭. Thanks for the amazing genes tho, mom ❤️)

    and often depressed on it

    Uh huh…maybe cypro has an effect on my mental state. I’ll talk to my endo about lowering further, my T is GONE.

    got to 750 pg/ml, if not contaminated

    Wow. I’ve heard of people getting crazy levels from gel. Well, if it works for you, I’m happy 🩷

    it’s not that bad, my gyne will prescribe it to me at a later point, but not in year 1 of HRT

    That’s good 👍
    It is bad tho. I saw a box of 45 caps, 100mg each for like 27$. That’s insane! 45 caps, 200mg each cost me less than half a dollar 😭
    I wish I could supply other girlies with prog, since I have it for so cheap…but they won’t prescribe me more, unfortunately.
    In the future tho, I’m totally gonna open a DIY hormone lab and have the lowest prices on the market (not profit-oriented, I just want people to get the correct hormones they need…). And it’ll include prog, of course! 😆

    Well, if I’m being honest, that’s like the main bit that makes me interested in prog, especially if it improves form 🤗

    Listen, this is gonna sound made up, I swear…but today I woke up, was groping one of my breasts (just checking) and it felt bigger. Still does. And in the mirror…they just look so lovely, omg 😭. I love them so much. I’ve waited for breasts for a LOOOONG time. Even pre egg-crack, I’ve wanted breasts (very eggy of me, I know 😭)
    Also, they’re sore. Not too much, but it’s a constant, dull ache I feel. They haven’t been for a while, so I have a good feeling about this

    The growth I see make me real euphoric, too. Also got a bit of fat in the right places there :3

    Yes, girl, yes 💜
    It’s amazing to see your body changing for the better, isn’t it? Changing to align more with how you feel. I still think this is the biggest gift life has given me.

    Thanks so much for talking to me, sorry for typing so much 😭
    Take care of yourself ❤️

      I may be wrong, but I think I take more after my mom than my day.

      He, probably even more the more HRT works. Saw a post recently that went like “Sorry to break it to you, but you’ll just look like your moms!” :')

      Uh huh…maybe cypro has an effect on my mental state. I’ll talk to my endo about lowering further, my T is GONE.

      Please do, does sound like your dosage is really high. Probably no issue in the short term, but long term, yeah, what Domi said over there 😳. But I totally get the euphoria from losing T… Goddamn, it felt like finally leaving a cage I’ve been forced into as a child.

      Wow. I’ve heard of people getting crazy levels from gel. Well, if it works for you, I’m happy 🩷

      I mean, there may be some chance of contaminated blood work, but I also used parts of the gel on my scrotum, which may have up to 5x absorption rate apparently. So, not sure how reliable that level was. But my mood was wild, not in a good way, sadly, so maybe that was actually due to too high E. That’s why I switched to EEn two weeks ago, hopefully that gives me more stable levels.

      In the future tho, I’m totally gonna open a DIY hormone lab and have the lowest prices on the market (not profit-oriented, I just want people to get the correct hormones they need…). And it’ll include prog, of course! 😆

      He, that would be real nice. Actually getting my EEn from a couple with similar spirit, it’s really nice :). I was so anxious about it at first, like where’s the catch, that’s just too good to be true. I was sooo into the idea of my body self regulating T to woman levels, but where I’m from it’s hardly possible to get injections from PHS.

      Listen, this is gonna sound made up, I swear…but today I woke up, was groping one of my breasts (just checking) and it felt bigger. Still does. And in the mirror…they just look so lovely, omg 😭. I love them so much. I’ve waited for breasts for a LOOOONG time. Even pre egg-crack, I’ve wanted breasts (very eggy of me, I know 😭)

      Awww, I love this :3. I got so euphoric when I first realized that they’re starting to do something. Was just obsessed with them as soon as they started to be more sensitive, can’t wait for them to mature. Funnily enough, I read a thread on reddit today about how the whole HRT timeline of growing breasts is apparently bullshit and how they actually grow/change throughout life, though, to a lesser extent with getting older.

      It’s amazing to see your body changing for the better, isn’t it? Changing to align more with how you feel. I still think this is the biggest gift life has given me.

      Life taketh, life giveth, I guess :). So happy that it’s such a euphoric experience for you, cis folk will never experience this, huh?

      Thanks so much for talking to me, sorry for typing so much 😭
      Take care of yourself ❤️

      No worries sis, it’s so nice to not feel like I’m not the one imposing and oversharing for once, I always feel like I gotta tone it down <3

      You too :3

        Saw a post recently that went like “Sorry to break it to you, but you’ll just look like your moms!” :')

        I saw a similar post that went something like “People may not know this, but taking 4-6mg of estradiol daily will make you look like your mother in 3 years”
        Honestly, hell yeah :D

        Please do, does sound like your dosage is really high

        Definitely will, but I should ask my endo for 25mg tablets instead of 50mg ones. I’d like to halve my intake and quartering a 50mg tablet is gonna suck 😭

        cage I’ve been forced into as a child

        A cage that twists and deforms your body…
        Yeah, I know it all too well 😢

        up to 5x absorption rate

        👀
        Waow…I’m sorry to hear about your mood. I hope EEn treats you well, I’ve heard only good things about it

        cis folk will never experience this, huh?

        No, they won’t 😄

        Thank you 🩷

          <3… Yeah, so far I feel pretty good about the change, but still early, will need another two weeks to get on the proper level.

          Maybe your pharmacy does have pill cutters? Got mine for a few euros, works pretty good for quartering. You could also try to dose every other day, which works fine with cypro, cause of its long half-life. My dose was a quarter every two days. Dosed one last time today… am a bit scared of T coming back, but will test in 2 or 3 weeks…

            OwO
            Pill cutters exist? 😭
            That would’ve come in so handy! Halving the tablets is already a pain…I definitely have to get one. Thanks so much ❤️

            That could also work…yeah, you’re right.

            Girl 💜. Hope mono treats you well. Best of luck!
