Seriously: Where the hell do people get HRT in like 3 months or so? Here it takes around 10-12 months waiting on a list to get HRT.

    In some countries (the UK for example) it can even take 5 to 10 years! Took 3.5 for me, though that’s a better country. I know people who got it in 2 months tho.

        Oh, it’s okay now, but still, better late than never I guess.

        I considered DIY but it sounded scary.

        But apparently, DIY is really just “get HRT w/o prescription”. It doesn’t substantially differ. If you have a GP you trust and aren’t in a transphobic country, then contacting them, and having blood jabs every now and then in the first year may be good to check on levels.

        A recommendation to anyone doubting and thinking about transitioning thru HRT, but not being sure yet:

        Just sign up already, it’ll take long and by the time you know, the wait will be shorter.
