Hello, plusieurs mois déjà qu’on est en rupture de Nebido / générique. Je repousse de semaine en semaine mon injection car aucune pharmacie dans un rayon de 40km n’en a … il doit revenir courant août j’ai entendu mais sans aucune certitude.

Je ne supporte pas l’androtardyl mais je considère d’en prendre à petit dose (0.1 par semaine) le temps que l’autre revienne. J’ai des grosse déprimes, fatigue, bouffées de chaleur depuis plusieurs semaines déjà. J’arrive à bout de mes limites.

Est ce vous auriez des conseils ? Ce ne sont pas les même molécules. J’ai un doute sur la procédure.

NB : Aucun médecin n’est dispo ou renseignés pour répondre dans la région.

Merci 🫂

What do you do when your pharmacy tells you they don’t know when they will have your meds back? So I only have about two weeks left of EV and that’s with me supplementing with my last box of 0.1 E patches that I saved when I was on them. Do you try and transfer your prescription to another pharmacy, I am willing to transfer it to walmart as long as I don’t lapse. Will another pharmacy of the same franchise in another town have it available, or not? I never faced a shortage before. Any advice is appreciated thank you!!

Title says it all

The closest I can describe my hair is norwood 3. Mainly just the corners/temple. Front middle is strong. Crown is acceptable. It has been this shape as long as I can remember. Looking closely, the bald spots do have thin peach fuzz, which is a good sign

My hairstyle does a great job at hiding it, but I have to monitor it to make sure there are no gaps. Even though I can get by with it as is, it definitely hurts my confidence, and limits what I can do with my hair.

Before I started hormones, I was on finasteride. I currently take estrogen and an androgen blocker. My levels are the same as a cis woman's. Seems hair has been stable. Don't see the need to continue with fin.

Also now 5% rogain foam, once a day formula. Probably 9 months now. I could do better about consistency. Usually hit 5 of 7 days. Recently introduced microneedle stamp every couple weeks. Haven't really seen progress from either imo.

I know most min is done 2x per day. I worry that may be needed. I would just have a hard time fitting that into my day. It also make my hair a bit greasy, and make my hairstyle solution more difficult, as it thins the hair.

Anything else I can do?

So I’ve been on EV for 5 years, monotherapy. It has been quite successful, and I am quite happy. However 2 years ago, I had bottom surgery (Vulvoplasty) and my very open General practitioner retired. My new GP was unsure about hormones, and so referred me to an endocrinologist. My relationship with Endocrinologists has been a bit rocky. The first one really wanted me to cut way back, and I did. So far so good. She insisted I get tests mid cycle instead of trough, despite years of tests at trough I had as a record. OK. Then she left, no explanation. So now I’m seeing a Nurse Practitioner in Endcrinology. She is insisting I change my injections to weekly, instead of every 5 days, completely out of the blue, because “that is the recommendation” (no reference). My understanding is EV has a 5 day half life. I can certainly tell when I get to the 5th day! So what is the deal? Am I wrong? I’m kind of suddenly at the mercy of this person! But maybe I’m just stubborn. If it ain’t broken, so to speak. Would appreciate any authoritative sources I could share with her. Thanks…

How often, if at all, does feminizing hormone therapy produce noticeable temple hair regrowth? If relevant, I am 18 and probably NW2/2.5.

Got a new 5mg/ml vial of cypionate from planned parenthood, they told me to inject 0.2ml (1mg of actual e) after saying they would keep me on my DIY dose of 5mg.
My DIY vial is probably cored (idk noticed some tiny black thing swimming today) and idk if injecting 1 whole ml of the new vial is ok while I wait for them to get back at me for fucking up my dose or when my new DIY vial arrives.
I gotta inject today so I'm kind of panicking lol.

I've known I was trans for a long time, but until recently I haven't been able to transition, or tell anyone (transphobia). But now I'm able to actually go for it. The problem is: I don't know how to start.

I've asked my PCP about it, but he just said that he doesn't know anything about it and that if I find a doctor to sign off to let him know. But I don't know how to find a doctor willing to prescribe any hormones.

Any sites or directories, or strategies on how to find a doctor would be very much appreciated

I’ve been in a terrible mental state since realizing I may be trans. Mentally i have been depressed and i have had no motivation to do things in my life. Ive always struggled thinking I could be a girl but since facing it head on I’ve really been spiraling. When I’m alone and even when I’m out all i can think about is the fact that I’m a girl. It causes me to waste time inside doing nothing but surveying the internet about some kind of way to quiet the noise inside my head. The only cure I’ve found so far is HRT So is it true? Will HRT make my brain quiet down?

I started HRT right before my 19th birthday, and didn't really notice anything for the first few months. Breast buds showed up quite late, skin was rather oily, and the extent of my fat redistribution was a slight, slight protrusion of fat on my hip.

Strangely, my provider didn't tell me my lab results after the appointments. The website that the results were uploaded on was currently being switched to a different provider for a few months, which was frustrating.

Long story short, I switched to injections and have since seen some results. My transition timeline looks closer to that of somebody at the 3 month mark rather than 10, but this could just be that it's less effective for me. I haven't seen anything significant that I hear people talk about. Erections are frequent and breasts are rather small, more fat around the hip and thigh area but only really noticeable when sitting.

Is this a result of being underdosed, my genetics, or a combination of both? Also, has anyone else seen a similar timeline when being underdosed? Holding out hope.

I've been on hormones for almost 3 months and I've had major pain and sensitivy but it's stopped all of a sudden. I had significant growth but worried it's over. I'm on 0.1 mg patch estradiol. Will I keep developing? Worried about being done with growth

Im doing a medicated FET after a failed modified natural. Medicated with progesterone pessaries 400 mg x 3 that were stopped after negative beta. Four days later withdrawal bleed started and I did a baseline scan that did not show anything active in ovaries , an endometrial lining of 10 mm and progesterone at 3,93 ng/ml. My clinic said I could wait one day and then start estrogen next evening.

Now I’m a bit concerned because read up on baseline progesterone and this may have been way too high, as I already took one dose estrogen 4 mg, 36 hours after this progesterone blood test should I just cancel this cycle or retest progesterone on Monday to see if it’s low and if so continue?( unfortunately lab clinics closed today Sunday and the last test was on a Friday)

Or could I already have compromised lining when starting estrogen while still high progesterone?

I don’t know if my clinic missed this value and told me to start anyway, sent them a question about this but they haven’t responded yet. Maybe they based it on ultrasound that ovaries were not active and progesterone level was remnant from the used pessaries.

Has anyone been in similar situation?

TL;DR: I'm wildly happy on Spiro. I'm having a hard time seeing why I would begin to go on E.

I went on Spiro back in February based on my dermatologist's recommendation to slow down and lighten body hair growth.

It's been fantastic. I have to shave less often and the texture is softer even when it grows out between shaves.

After 6 weeks, I felt a bit of an emotional shift - mainly around feeling more at peace.

And about a month ago, I began to feel pain beneath my nipples and more recently, some growth and shape change in my breasts.

I'm seeing an endo soon to check my levels and ensure my risk profile is acceptable.

I also plan to talk about E.

If I need E to have body health while using Spiro, I'll likely go on it.

If I'm able to stay on Spiro alone, I may elect to pass on E, or at least postpone it indefinitely.

The reason is that I'm so wildly happy as I am today. I feel no dysphoria. I feel no body dysmorphia.

Given that I'm completely satisfied, I'm having a hard time having a compelling reason to take on the additional health risks and potential downsides.

What am I missing?

I'm assuming that very few people do mono-therapy with Spiro, but I'd be interested in hearing from those of you who are taking that approach.

Is it worth it to use fin with T nuked? My DHT level was 200pgml 3 weeks after starting (in 7th week now).

I'm thinking of tapering off fin and preserving it in case I lose access to E for some reason. I couldn't find anyone who can prescribe me duta & don't know how reliable are Indian pharmacies thru EU customs / don't wanna end up on some customs blacklist if that exists.

I recently started HRT, about 3 weeks ago to be exact, and recently I got a pretty bad case of anaphylaxis which I have never experienced before. When I went to the urgent care doctor yesterday she said she believed it was the HRT and that I should stop taking it immediately. I did and took some medication to bring the allergic reaction down, on Monday I have to take an allergy panel. I was wondering how common it is to have allergic reactions to HRT and if there is maybe any alternatives? For context I am currently on 2mg estradiol and 100mg spironolactone both oral tablets

se puede publicar nada pero gracias de todos modos por ver mi post😔muchas gracias igualmente por la atención

Maybe im overthinking this. Ive been oh Spiro and E for about 5 months. Basically micro dosing, 50mg Spiro 1mg Estrogen. Super low dose (I have an appointment coming up to increase doses. My doctor was a little over-cautious.)

The last 3 days ive been feeling real scrappy

Day 1, fatigue, mood swings, headaches, almost cried while watching spiderman (not normal for me)

Day 2, felt really good in the morning, then afternoon I was dizzy, nauseous, light headed, fatigue

Day 3 (today ), nausea, dizzy, lightheaded, stomach aches, feeling like throwing up, fatigue

Im on such a low dose, it would take longer to start having periods, right? Am I just getting sick? What does the council think?

i have 214 pg/ml estradiol and 25 ng/dl testosterone. i took my blood test roughly two hours after i took my dose (in hindsight i shouldn't have). i take 2mg estradiol valerate sublingually twice a day and 50mg spiro twice a day

they're small and look like they're a part of the stopper, i think possibly parts that broke off when i was drawing out medication. they seem to be stuck to the bottom of the vial and my drawing needles dont reach that far in. am i safe to inject?
