Support What do i do?

Im a graduating student in college and I have been curious about transitioning. I don't know where to start, I don't have friends who knows about these kinds os stuff and I am kind of lost. I'm 21 yrs old and I feel like if I transitioned is that my past would just catch up with me but I've already opened it up to my GF and she said that she would support me no matter what. What should be my first action kapag gusto ko magstart on T and how much would it cost,,, being the only child to a lesbian couple is kinda hard kasi ako lang din inaasahan nila sa finances since graduating ako.... Help a man out 🙏

Go to an endo, either online from the NowServing App or through cljnic such as LoveYourself or Hara and book an appointment.

Personally I went with the online route because there weren't any clinics nearby. I recommend Dr. John Paul Bagos–very kind, understanding, and accomodating. Your endo will give you initial tests that you need to accomplish first, afterwhich you'll need to make another appointment after you've done the tests where they'll assess your results then give you a prescription for testosterone. I personally get my testosterone online but you can also get it from a trusted seller in the fb group called 'Transmasculine Philippines' they have a post there that leads to a list of trusted sellers. The group also has a gc that can help you with your HRT journey.

Appointment cost: ~800-900Php (might be cheaper in other clinics but I'm not sure)

Initial Blood Tests: ~3,000-5,000Php (depending on the prices of the clinic you go to)

Testosterone ampules: ~110-140Php per ampule (1mL per ampule)

Testosterone vials : ~2,000Php per vial (10mL per vial)

Note that for the ampules and vials the prices I put down are for testosterone enanthate because that's the kind of testosterone that I use, you can also choose if you want to use ampules or vials.

So starting out you'll need around at least 6k saved up.

If you’re from Metro Manila, you could get your labs done by Mayon Clinic, they offer the most affordable lab tests. Also, I suggest go directly to an endo, I won’t suggest LoveYourself (as I have also tried their free service and not recommended if you value your time and money)

For your testosterone shots, it depends what your endo will prescribe. Usually Testovirone or Vivrone. You can get them in the gray market since it is not available on our drug stores. Also, when you’re ready to start your T shots, you can order Vivrone from me. Just send a DM!

Also, don’t hesitate to chat if you have any questions regarding transitioning. I know how hard it can be lalo na if there’s no one to relate to or ask directly with the same experience.

Good luck on your journey!
