ESTRADIOL AND PROGESTERONE vs ESTRADIOL VALERATE AND ESTRADIOL VALERATE

I wanted to share my experience seeing an in-person menopause specialist—one recommended by The Menopause Society—because I thought I was on the right path. Unfortunately, it was frustrating and disappointing. I am a 43 year-old female, married, child free by choice, low stress job. I went to The

Just got on hrt last Friday, and the estradiol gel was not available until today Went to pick it up, and the pharmacist really questioned me about it. Asked if I am getting prescriptions at other pharmacies, made me feel like I was drug seeking? I said yes, I already got the testosterone at a compou

**Latest update: 2022-23-08** Hi all! It's the greenhorn Zoey again back with another question about all the confusing parts about being trans again! Me being me, I haven't yet had the courage to step out and post in the bigger trans subs. So for now I'm sticking close to my little secret space surr

I live in Ohio and today is the first day for recreational. I had been vacillating about getting a medical card but didn't know if I would be eligible. and the cost. etc.. but we finally got recreational and I am looking at some of these Gummies they have and they have descriptions of "energizing"

To preface this post, before I started transitioning nearly 2 years ago, I genuinely appreciated the posts from people who were further along in their transition than I was who shared their wisdom about the lessons they'd learned during their own journey. I've had this post more or less saved in my

I've been in perimenopause for probably 5-7 years, but with no noticeable symptoms besides wonky periods. Until recently. Migraines, hot flashes, mood swings, can't sleep, everything is dry and I'm constantly exhausted. I've been on a mission to try everything in my power to manage these symptoms, s

Hi pharmacy peeps! I'm a specialty pharmacist and have been for years, so I wanted to double-check this. Today, I was covering for a colleague and received a new prescription for cyproterone 12.5 mg daily for a patient who is transitioning. She is currently taking Prometrium (micronized progesterone

Gender trauma is so fucking funny. I turned 28 recently and just injected estradiol valerate for the first time on Monday 💖 For hours before the injection, it just didn't feel real. I felt like I'd get in some horrid car crash, or a cop would arrest me for just looking suspicious, or I'd get the E

A few years ago apparently there was a little argument in a session at the WPATH conference about me and my methods, namely my topical T for genital restoration. One camp shouting about how a microdose of topical T for MTFs was unconscionable and would detrans people and the other camp saying that i

Firstly, hello to anyone reading this thread off a google search a year from now. Hi! I'm Chloe. I recently moved to Tokyo, and had some ups and downs continuing HRT here, so I thought I'd post about what I've done and what I've learned so far. Take this with a grain of salt, as I'm one person with

My girlfriend and I are both trans women. She just received word from Planned Parenthood that her latest blood work revealed possible liver damage and to stop taking her medication immediately. For reference, she injects estradiol valerate once every other week. Does anyone have any experience with

I got prescribed spiro and estradiol valerate. My estrogen is in the form of an injectable liquid sort of thing, which was really scary. I have had it since yesterday but I was too scared by the big needle to do it. I found on r/FtM a tip saying to use ice to numb the injection spot and to distract
