I FINALLY BOUGHT MY GIRL PILLS!!!!!!!!!!!! i'm starting tomorrow :3 is it fine if i don't do any hormone tests? i really can't be arsed. can i just do one later after like a month or so? how dangerous can it be for your liver and stuff?
taking hrt is self harm
>>41284395on oral pills, you get way less E depending on your livers metabolization and increased bloodclot risk as you go up in dose. It also turns some of the E2 to E1, some people say the higher E1:E2 ratio in the beginning is better for breast developmentsublingual kind of prevents this liver pass but not fully, so its "better" for higher levels. injections, patches and inserts all go into the bloodstream so no E1 metabolization, higher efficiency, better and more stable levels. Patches can be itchy and how well they work really depends on the place and person imo>is it fine if i don't do any hormone tests?no. If you shoot blanks after a month, you're on the right path but you really should test every month in the first 6 months, and then once every few months on a stable regiment. If you change your hrt regiment, test again a month after on that new one
>>41284412i plan on transitioning (lol) to injections as soon as i can but they're just really hard to find where i am, relative to the pills which i can just buy from a pharmacy with no issues. so that's discouraging me but yeah hopefully i can find one soon. and yeah ok i'll try to get tested after a month.
