Has anyone else done DIY-HRT, what are your experiences with DIY?

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 šŸ˜­). 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?

  • Itā€™s great!

    Personally Iā€™m using 12.5mg Cypro and six pumps of Felicitasā€™ gel, though that is probably overkill. (I used to take two, but my E-levels were low-ish and since I too have to pay for my blood tests I just took the ā€œa lot helps a lotā€-approach, though in part this may have been due to issues with the bottle I was using since the new one produces much more gel per pump than the old one.)

    I have an appointment with the hospital in Rotterdam on Friday, hopefully they will finally give me an official prescriptionā€¦
