Feeling really nervous about it but its hard for me to access it outside of these options, I just hope that the order actually goes through and that its not a scam and that I can finally start to change my body. Sorry to make a bit of a vent post but ya'll are awesome and I don't know anyone irl who would listen <3 Edit: The order didn't go through but they haven't taken my money so I don't think it's a scam, if anyone has some sites they can recommend which ship to the UK I'd really appreciate it ❤️

Sorry to hear your order didn't go through! I'm not really familiar with any options, but you might have some luck if you made a new thread asking for recommendations and advice?

i live in a place where trans healthcare's aim is not to explore how gender-affirming care could help you, but to prove you don't need gender-affirming care. started DIY a while back & it's the best decision i've ever made. like, i'm not a kid anymore, i don't wanna be old & regret not allowing myself a chance to feel content in my body.

i do fuken h8 needles, though.

anyway. i wish you all the best on your journey, friend ❤

Thank you for the support <3

I'm already on spironolactone for an unrelated medical reason and my body quit making testosterone at age 29.

Where do I get the diy stuff? At this point my body basically can't process or make T. I really don't know how to get started asking for hormones.

HRT Cafe (https://hrtcafe.net/) is supposed to be a good source, but my order didn't go through when using one of their listed stores. Admittedly I haven't had any money stolen or anything, but still be careful ❤️

better than horse piss

Good luck and i hope ot all works out! Be safe and try to join communities that can give advice. I was fortunate enough to have ok medical access, but it’s been life changing and I’m so early on!

I hope it goes well :3
