According to Lilian (otokonoko) MCT oil lasts ~7 years so you could probably order 7 vials from her and be good for a while.

You can get raws at Dragon Ordnance. They're cheap, but shipping is expensive. You can also get your mct oil and benzyl alcohol there for mixing. Someone here tested their shit and it's good https://hexbear.net/post/1419643
Compounding it into injectables is pretty simple with the right (very affordable) equipment. If you respond well to estrogen monotherapy, that might be all you need. T-blockers like spiro and fin are used by cis men so might be in less risk, and you can buy those from any old online pharmacy like alldaychemist.
Thank you so much! That post covers everything I was missing. I love this site!
I'm doing the same thing myself right now following that guide
I'm a little sketch on that post, she shows up and drops all this info then disappears... Idk, it's weird.
I would be concerned about the shelf life of MCT oil. I don't know about the shelf life of the ingredients used for gels, if they can live for longer then that would be better.
Lena from https://groups.io/g/MTFHRT (the site uses outdated terminology though) also talks about eating micronized powder (might cost more, idk, but I think since no other ingredients are involved this should be good for more years).
The site also has info on making gel and injections, but the guide for the latter is rather unhygienic.
Thanks for this link. In an emergency, I honestly think I prefer oral route (edit: or gel), just because I think I feel like I don't trust myself to stay sterile enough for injectables.
Don't forget the gels, they are applied to the skin, easier than measuring out an appropriate amount of powder.
