Hi every one.

Today I feel its taking too long to get court's approval for me to buy hormones. well Its easy to buy it from black market. It's so easy. well, does it worth to use them for only 1 month?? why or why not??

I have bought some of those pills and Im going to take them. I think they are safe when I start them at low dosage. please give me your comment.

thank you.

Love, Kim

Kim hon - Are you sure you know what you bought ? Black market is only interested in the money they can extract from you. Self medicating is a dangerous path.

I do hope you reconsider, please try and see a doctor soon, I know you are frustrated.

Best wishes

Cindy -

Kim,

Why are you going to put your life in danger and also the danger of being arrested for buying black market medication?

First of all, you have no idea of dosage to take because you have not had a blood test to check for your current hormone levels.

Second, You have no idea what dosage to take to get into the female range even if you did know your levels.

Third, What kind of estrogen or anti-androgens are these? Different brands or types (pills, creams, injection, patch) require different dosage techniques.

Fourth, What is the source of these medications? How do you know they are not just sugar pills or something worse. Maybe your supplier does not like TS people and will put something harmful in them. If they are legit what is the expiration date? How do you know they are any good?

Fifth, Your health. Taking too much estrogen actually causes the body to react and produce more testosterone so it will backfire your desired results.

What is the condition of your liver function? Like a lot of drugs, medications used for HRT can have effects on your liver. Are you currently taking any medication that could cause more damage to your liver if you just start taking HRT meds? Certain anti-androgens will cause issues with potassium levels. These must be monitored to make sure your levels stay in the normal range. Failure to do this can cause heart failure.

Six - What effect will this on you getting legitimate medication after your visits with a G.T. They may refuse care if you self medicate.

You said to take them for a month. Is that how long before your appointment with your G.T. ? You will not even see any results in that amount of time. Besides if you self medicate when it is time to get prescriptions your hormone levels will already be altered so you will have had to stop them for a few months so the doctor can get a good base level for you.

The ONLY way to do HRT is under the supervision of a qualified doctor. Anything else you risk harming yourself in many ways.

You have come a long way in the past few weeks. You have been evaluated and come out to your parents. Don't give up everything you have done just to try and speed up the process. You are young. You have plenty of time to transition in a way that will make you the best person you can be.

You will also find no support on Laura's with doing your self medication. This site does not approve of any self medication and "how to" discussions about it are not allowed.

i know how frustrating it can be when getting hormones is out of your control and every day you wait seems like forever but Cindy is right.

Black market can be very harmful and will cost you dearly in money but may affect yout health.

To be honest if i had some connection to the black market i would have tried to source some T by now. i've tried hormone boosters and blockers (gives a more placebo effect) but in reality the only safe way is to get HRT prescribed by proffessionals that can monitor you and make sure you get the right dosage.

Be patient. Transitioning is a long process no matter how far you take it so do it right and don't jeopardise your future.

      I saw this concert in which it is said that the famous phrase of Jon Landau "I saw the future of rock and roll and his name is Bruce Springsteen" comes from that night. By the way Bruce opened for Bonnie Raitt that night and she was the better performer . . . just sayin'.

      Astronomy and astrophotography.  I have done a few public presentations on the subject and could most likely wing it for an hour without putting you to sleep.   On the other hand if you need a sleeping pill, I could also talk for an hour about flying and you'd be out cold.

      Please consider joining us, even if it's just for a few minutes to see what the meetings are like. I've learned so much, had so much fun and gained confidence in myself just by being a part of this amazing group of people. It's a low key, no pressure, non-judgmental chance to just be among people who are supportive, understanding and affirming of each other.    I'm travelling out of state and still planning on dropping in for awhile.    Come see what it's like!!

      Thank you, Susan!! It was such an amazing experience for me. I can't remember if I even talked about it on a Zoom meeting.   Here is the link to the post I made about it. And, again, thank you for helping to give me the courage to do it.

      Good morning coffees   This probably doesn’t exactly apply to me because you wouldn’t have found a more shy and conservative person than me.  I was perhaps less shy before my sister started complaining about me doing things that were hers to do. And I would become embarrassed and that was the end of that.   upstairs unit got their typical weekend visitors in the middle of the night last night.  They woke me up.  They have little consideration for being in a condo community and the neighbors being in such close proximity.   @awkward-yet-sweet , how goes the job with your husband’s boss?  I don’t recall you saying much about it this week, but I could have missed a post along the way.  If I recall you were supposed to meet with him last Monday.   @KymmieL I hope you are feeling better.     Yes, I find it to be wrong that just because a car part says Ford or Chevrolet on the box that same part with Lincoln or Cadillac on the box cost a lot.more.  I know there are differences in the upscale brands such as the engine and drivetrain in the Caddy and of course the interior fit and finish.  But it’s the same body with things crammed in the same way under the hood.     well, time to finish my coffee, fix my hair and made my way across the street to work.    willow

      I read about her this morning. What a shame! She was beautiful and it seems she had a strong support system in place and could have had a wonderful life all to have it end like this. Such a waste. I truly hope the monster that killed her gets everything he deserves.
