My at-home HRT apothecary 😆

20 hours ago by AnxiousMiisha to c/mtf

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?

Got a bunch of gel and Cypro left, but hopefully will need nothing more than EEn and paraphernalia in the future :3

If I may, how's prog treating you? How long have you been on E when you started with it?

Asking because I'm still wondering if I want to add it in... Would need to get some from unofficial sources, though.

Edit: Oh, just saw your other post, so I guess sex life part is answered :3. Do you feel other effects from prog? Probably not really possible to place anything on it specifically... 🤔

Rooting for you! Monotherapy is great, I just like the peace of mind I get with cypro.

If I may, how's prog treating you?

It's treating me quite well I'd say :3

How long have you been on E when you started with it?

My endo prescribed it to me at 3 months HRT. i may be lying, but I'm pretty sure that starting prog "too early" is a myth. You should see what E does by itself and then try prog, to see which effects it's responsible for, but I personally don't believe that prog early can mess up breast development.

Oof. I know how expensive DIY prog can get (I checked some sites because I wanted a stash of prog specifically for the oral drunk feeling. It's freaking expensive 😭)
I'd send you some, since I have it so cheap, but I have a very limited supply due to my prescription...I'm sorry 😢

Oh, just saw your other post, so I guess sex life part is answered :3

Don't know with certainty if it's the prog, but my sex life has improved dramatically in the past couple of days. My bf can't keep up with me and he's sleeping while I type this 😛

Do you feel other effects from prog?

I think my mood is improving slightly. Just after starting prog (again), I went through some stuff...now it's getting a lot better. Probably not the prog tho
Also, today I just can't stop admiring my chest in the mirror 😆. I've heard prog can help with that, but I'm not completely convinced it's because of it. They're growing so well tho 😭
They've been sore the past couple of days...

Sorry for the long answer, but prog is freaking interesting. It may just be my new favorite drug (hormone)

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

Oh, that's interesting, too. I've felt super restless and often depressed on it, though it may also have been affected by a rather high E level from gel (got to 750 pg/ml, if not contaminated), hard to tell. Glad it works so good for you! Guess we're all a little different, still :3

Awww... nw, it's not that bad, my gyne will prescribe it to me at a later point, but not in year 1 of HRT. I'm not convinced of its supposedly bad influence, too, sucks that we don't have reliable data.

Well, if I'm being honest, that's like the main bit that makes me interested in prog, especially if it improves form 🤗. The growth I see make me real euphoric, too. Also got a bit of fat in the right places there :3

Thanks again :)
