NSFW just in case.
I started estrogen and anti-androgen about 6 years ago, and it’s worked well. Changes have been slow since I take a low dose to prevent overdosing since I don’t get any blood tests on account of not doing it officially, since I was denied on account of refusing to dress in drag for my disgusting doctor (he saw me as a man), who denied me on account of not proving I’m really a woman. Though at this point I’m pretty far along and mostly pass, if not for my voice (I still sound like a man 😭). Even though it’s largely gone well, I would’ve really preferred to do it officially. Apparently it’s not an option though for me. Anyone else have any experiences with DIY they’d like to share?
Yeah ofc. I started on 50mg cypro and 6mg estrofem daily about 9 years ago at 17, ordering it to a Christian boarding school I was attending in north england in secret from everyone, especially my conservative russian parents back in my country of origin. Got diagnosed just before COVID, told the shrink-glowie what she wanted to hear and still wanted to deny me but guess she realised not like I was gonna stop. Went legit about two years ago to get SRS on the NHS, switched to patches now, got that srussy, got electro, now been fucking around trying to sort them out as they’re trying to discharge me to the GP meanwhile hitting menopause.
My levels DIY were always 0.7nmol/L T and 300+ pmol/L E as god meant it but these doctor cunts always fuck up, when I first switched to their shit I got a T spike and had to fight for deca shots, now I’m fighting to get out of menopause like symptoms. Such bs. Stay DIY if you can then money saved ain’t worth the hassle.
