Limestone is a common type of sedimentary rock which I find uncommonly interesting! It's mostly calcium carbonate, which is also what eggshells π₯, seashells π, and pearls π¦ͺ are made out of.
In places where it rains a lot, limestone erodes easily, which results in simply gorgeous landscapes such as:
HαΊ‘ Long Bay in Vietnam
Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park in Madagascar
The Li River in China
Additionally, the world's longest (Mammoth) and deepest (~~Veryovkina~~ Krubera is once again the world's deepest cave, thank you to SockOlm for pointing that out) cave systems are both found in limestone formations
Mammoth Cave in the United States
Veryovkina Cave in Georgia/Abkhazia/Russia (disputed territory)

The grey market for DIY HRT is just part of how trans healthcare stays resilient in the face of gatekeeping or full obstruction. Feel free to get on it for any reason.
Having it from the medical system is gonna make things more convenient mostly down to how you gotta pay for DIY HRT (it's annoying). Also easier to get a doctor to monitor labs. But having a little DIY stache is nice, plus the actual know how of how to get it vrs the theoretical know how via a guide (experience is a good teacher).
It'd be nice to know where your levels are at now after you've been on this dose, regardless of if you're gonna change route or method or whatever. Everybody bodys is different and metabolized E in its own way, so it'll be nice to have some evidence on how your body deals with E! It'll give you and your doctor an idea of how you responded to the dose you're at now which is nice to know even if you're taking something different later. There are tools online that can give you an idea of your levels after switching, and the WPATH somewhere has recommendations for bumping or down based on E levels across routes (like sublingual, transdermal, SQ, IM) which'll also help you get an idea of what your dose ought to be. I have no idea where it is though
Get your levels checked, if you're switching to DIY then switch and after, check your levels again in like 6 to 12 weeks and adjust as necessary.
I have never seen stash have an e on the end π that makes it mean something completely different
Anyway sorry I just thought that was funny
omg lol
