Minthara's happy trail

one year on estradiol injections ✌️ DIY HRT providers the real mvps of trans healthcare

the nurse doing my injections got exposed for the first time to the stupidity of French trans healthcare when she realized my blood tests are entirely covered but that i have to buy my E from the internet because my GP refuses to prescribe injections lol

been on HRT for four years, three and a half of which were under various doctors to whom I mistakenly gave multiple chances. none got me even close to correct hormone levels, one even saw nothing wrong with my having pre medical transition levels after three years on HRT. one time I was put on some synthetic progestin that had recently been discontinued due to elevated risks of meningioma.

I've been on DIY injections for six months. for the first time in four years I have good hormone levels. my trust in healthcare providers was already pretty low due to traumatic experiences during my childhood; now it might as well be nonexistent.
