DIY HRT

Welcome!
This community exists for trans people and others to give each other advice and support regarding HRT.
Keep in mind that none of us are doctors. Read up on how to do things properly and double check any advice you are given.
Rules
- Follow the instance rules.
- Be accurate.
- Don't make others worry unnecessarily.
- Sources are appreciated.
Quick Facts
- Different routes (oral vs injections vs trans-dermal etc) have the same results. Pick whichever option you are most comfortable with.
- If you're doing feminizing hrt your boobs will randomly grow in bursts. Chest pain going away is perfectly normal.
- It's unreliable to estimate your hormone levels based on signs. Take blood tests if they are available to you.
- Remember to eat well, get enough sleep, and exercise! This will help you grow properly and look more masculine on testosterone or more feminine on estradiol.
Check out the pinned posts! They contain lots of useful links and resources.

It might also be good to mirror some resources from /r/estrogel about how to mix your own medication and include the places where you can buy the raws. (AFAIK dragonordnance is generally trusted?)
Since I’ve finally gotten to the point where I’m now officially on HRT and have DIY'ed but not mixed myself before, I’m sadly not the best source on all that, but it is kinda important to be aware of the possibility as this will be by far the hardest option to take away from us.
I should add dragonordnance is apparently very sketch. They reportedly selectively scam people and are very transphobic. PPL is better but has a slightly sketch reputation as well, but I've personally had success with them. Sorry for the year late reply but since your comment is prominent on the resource post I just wanted to comment on it :P
Completely fair, I never saw the issues with necroing, especially on stickied posts. 😄
Maybe! I've already downloaded a copy of the estrogel and transdiy wikis just in case something there happens (estrogel being featured in the news is what prompted me making this place). I'll look into mirroring some sources.
