It's the monitoring......the liver function that is so very important.....

Can anyone DIY that?

Besides, it's the doctor that decides what dosage you will need to take, either the anti androgen's or Estrogen....

Does anyone know what their dosage should be?

What would take if you weighed 100 pounds? 300 pounds?

How high are your estrogen or T levels right now?

If it didn't say "Take two" on an aspirin bottle, how many would someone take?

This is serious business.....

When it comes to DIY hormones, it's all bad news. The risk of stroke, heart attack, thrombosis and liver disease is too great. See your doctor for a proper evaluation and let him decide what would be right for you.

Not to mention if it's not a licensed pharmacy supplying you these drugs who knows what could be in them.

DIY is too big of a risk all the way around.

Would it be okay if I bought the anti-androgens then brought them to my doctor and asked him to make sure that it was my right dosage? ect ect

The first step BEFORE starting any HRT is ALWAYS a consultation with a doctor...

From there, one is free to discuss sourcing options and dosages...

What I have found is that HRT is not really very expensive, so internet savings really are NOT an issue...

What IS the issue? Being CERTAIN that my LIVER is working properly. Being certain that my blood serum E levels don't slip into the 'danger zone' for stroke activity, etc...

These things cannot be measured without drawing blood and testing it on a regular basis. Not terribly expensive either, but soooooo inportant for a long, healthy life...

Please, find a way to get legitimate medical care and proper medicatiion..

YOU are too valuable to risk so much for so little...

Love and patience for YOU! Svenna

We are not qualified to answer medical questions. Only a licensed doctor can do that. You need to ask him/her.

      Good morning from the backyard patio,   Parker and I are outside enjoying the morning sounds of the day. It’s was filled with the beautiful sounds of birds, bugs and kids off at a distant playground. My coffee was hot, strong and black. This came crashing down as the Monday morning trash truck came into the neighborhood. We’re the first neighborhood for the trash route since a city ordinance keeps all commercial workers limited to a 07:00 start time. It was Parker’s first time experiencing this noise and physical vibrations as the operator slammed the articulated arm around picking up individual trash bins. Parker ran from the fence back to the patio swing looking back at the monstrous truck causing such a commotion. His head tilted, ears perked, and body language indicating curiosity.    My second cup of coffee is settling down as the birds return to singing their calls, and Parker ravages his toy rabbit.    Hugs and best wishes as you take on the week. Happy Monday!   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning @Adrianna Danielle   I’m glad you agreed to the paternity test.    My Uncle found himself in a similar situation and after the test he was faced with explaining his infidelity and one night stand to his wife and family. Not only did the test come back; “YOU ARE THE FATHER” she looked like a sister to the other children in his family. This was a “23 & Me” moment confirmed by an independent test. The most important reason for the young lady to search for her father, was medical history and peace of mind. The blessing of the test was her understanding and willingness to disappear into obscurity. That was not what my Uncle or his family wanted to happen. She was family and they wanted to know her and eventually love her as a family member. The next 4th of July family gathering, she was introduced to the rest of her extended family and I gained a cousin. My prayers for you as you navigate all the possibilities, and I hope it works out for everyone involved.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Well I’m short on time again!   I had to move to the couch around 3:15 this morning. Unfortunately my wife’s med vac was making a lot of noise which woke me up and I couldn’t sleep. Then I over slept because my alarm wasn’t set correctly, my fault.    @Mirrabooka Hobart is a beautiful city and Tasmania is a wonderful place to visit. I was there several times in the 80s.    @Birdie Texas isn’t the only state with such laws.  Don’t try going to a public bathroom in Florida either. Now there laws aren’t based on chromosomes or anything like that but it’s a birth certificate as far as I know.  That Texas law is a tough one, really anti transgender in all respects. Except!  What if you have an extra chromosome?  Or DNA that’s flipped?  Did they think of that situation?  Medical theory suggests that is the case when it come to Transgender people, but especially the young ones.  Also, IQ, that tends to be higher than average.  There are a lot of things about us the medical science is studying, not just psychology.   got to go   Willow
