For my transguy homies, you absolutely should never reduce your T dosage in the week leading up to your blood tests with your doctor. Because if you do, your doctor may prescribe more T than you actually need, and then you may have too much on hand that stays fresh when stored properly. This would probably be illegal because T is a controlled substance, and may become banned under the Trump administration.
Yes definitely don’t do that
The transfems out there definitely shouldn’t do this with their estrogen either. Definitely not.
Is estrogen also a controlled substance like testosterone is? I’ve always wondered
I don’t think so, but I really only know about bird law.
Nope

S’why they call him ‘the adjustor’
$800 out of pocket for a three month supply
My brother in Christ, where the FUCK are you buying your testosterone that it’s $270/mo. without insurance? When I look on GoodRX right now, the average price for a 10ml vial of 200mg/ml testosterone cypionate is about $50. Assuming that you need about 200mg EW, that’s a 2.5 month supply right there. Even if you follow the recommended guidelines and discard the unused contents of the vial at the end of every month and buy a new vial, that’s $150 for a full three months.
GoodRx sells your data to the highest bidder btw (That bidder possibly being a MAGAt hate crime organization.) https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2023/02/ftc-enforcement-action-bar-goodrx-sharing-consumers-sensitive-health-info-advertising
Oh, I wouldn’t use them to buy medication. I’m just using them to check the retail prices.
I know that their Costco prices aren’t correct though; if you’re a member and paying out of pocket, Costco will enroll you in a prescription savings plan.
I never knew Costco had a pharmacy lol. Ive never been
They do, and you don’t need to be a member to use their pharmacy. You also don’t need to be a member to see the optician that they usually have there, and in at least some states, if they sell liquor, you don’t need to be a member to buy liquor.
More like BadRx amirite
So does your CC company.
Its a christmas miracle.
I can get 5ml vials at 250mg/ml for $60. How do I help these people?
The Trevor Project is a good place to start. I don’t know of any nonprofits that directly provide resources like hormones, but I’m sure they exist.
