Hormone Help

Hey,

I think I've gotten to that stage where I should start hormones... since i'm 18 and fully legal to use them!

I want to ensure I get the right product, as I don't want to waste my money. Any information on these would be fab!

Thx!

Chica, do some research and connect with
the TG community in your area. There
might be a doctor who specializes in it.
DO GET A DOCTOR. Especially for the first
few years you need to have your blood
monitored so that a safe dosage and be
prescribed. If you were here in NYC I would
recommend Callen-Lorde as much because it's
inexpensive as for the fact that they have a
couple of doctors who specialize in TG.

Once you have your Rx then you can purchase
the same medicine from online sources if you
need it less expensive but still best to follow
the dosages that the doctor suggests. IMHO

I've been to a doctor before, he said he would contact me, in which he didn't....

My blood is fine, as i'm a healthy person (apparently lol)

"My blood is fine, as i'm a healthy person"

What does that have to do with it?
You need to get your blood tested every 3 months
for the first year or so to see how you are metabolizing the hormones. To make sure that you continue to be healthy.

What doctor says "thanks for the interview, i'll get back to you" ?!?!

Find another doctor. Do some research and find a doctor that has a good reputation in the TG community.
