They already know I diy, I have been doing 4mg/4 days EV and they want to switch me to 2mg/week EC with 25mg Spiro??? Mono is working just fine for me, I have double digit T and Triple digit E a month and a half in, I really don’t want to fuck myswlf by doing what they say. I’m considering doing 4mg/week and ignoring the spiro, because as long as I have a prescription for a paper trail and slightly safer E that’s all I need.

      I mean no offense to the guy bc he’s in residency, but he openly said he wasn’t really taught about hrt in school. I mean getting a prescription for EC feels like a huge win for me at least because having a paper trail might make getting srs easier later on, but like. I’m still pretty annoyed.

        Might make it 5% less hassle free. I don’t know any diying person that had issues obtaining surgeries

        he openly said he wasn’t really taught about hrt in school

        Send him transfemscience. An endo from my country educates himself from there, and also recommends buying from homebrewers lol

    2mg/wk ec is an underdose, you can get the scrip and just do ur own dose tho unless the vials have a comically bad concentration or they’re ampoules

    they have to let you get a new vial every month because regulations and reasonably concentrated vials have plenty for a good monthly dose and more, so you can just ignore the hondosing

      Yeah I think that’s what I’ll do, it will at least be nice to inject less frequently

    Isn’t spiro the one that stunts breast growth? Or was it cpa idr

    Yeah don’t listen to that regardless spiro is dogshit. If you need a paper trail you can always just lower your dose before a blood test

      I just don’t get how a mf looks at my excellent labs and then says “hm yes let me change everything instead of just mildly tweaking your dosage and writing a script for you” like come on dawg, I am hitting great mono results, at worst I have slightly elevated E which is like a non issue, I nailed my dosing tbh

        Yeah idk. Dokkktors addiction to spiro is so stupid too

        Almost like they want you to have bad results… I wonder if there’s precedent for this theory
