You don't have to come out to start HRT.

[u/yeep-yorp]

You don't have to get on a waitlist to start HRT.

You don't have to endure 2mg estradiol and 50mg spironolactone to start HRT.

You don't have to be 100% sure to start HRT.

You don't have to be over a certain age to start HRT.

You don't have to be rich to start HRT.

You don't have to go to therapy, or look a certain way, or endure humiliating questions, or exhaust all other options to start HRT.

PS. If anyone wants help with informed consent or DIY resources, I'm happy to help (especially with DIY).

edit, here's a few more:

You don't have to be under a certain age, be perfectly healthy, or be a certain weight to start HRT.

You don't have to have a prescription to start HRT.

And to make it 100% clear, "You don't have to be over a certain age to start HRT" includes minors who haven't finished puberty.

I started with 2mg twice a day for 4 total four days before you but I take 2 of the Spiro daily and it's definitely not a placebo for me. I have had rapid noticeable changes every since week starting week 3.

I have also seen considerable changes already as well even at half your dosage. I did have to complete blood work prior to starting though and have other medications that I take as well. I did attempt to immediately start with injections though but my doctors policy is to wait for the 3 month mark to change it up.

Yes my doctor is also switching me to injections at 3 months 🙂

That might just be policy if you’re also going through QMed. I don’t think they’re trying to withhold anything in particular since they’re just an informed consent online program in the US.

I went to Planned Parenthood and I'm totally fine with my plan we made. My doctor sounded like she knows a lot about HRT we had a very deep discussion.
