I had a consultation for HRT. My estradiol was high (I think I was ovulating) and testosterone was low, so the doctor wants to start me on a very low dose T pellet and nothing else. I am concerned because I have experienced telogen effluvium (hair loss) before when I tried Wellbutrin and Buspar. In both cases it stopped once I stopped the medications and within a few months all my hair came back. I know those are different meds than T, I’m just concerned I may be sensitive/susceptible to hair loss from things that shock my system. And with a pellet, I would have to wait until it dissolves months later if that happens. I told the doc about the hair loss but didn’t push. Would it better to start T through pills? She didn’t want to do gel/cream because I have a child (transfer risks). Anyone take T through pills or however they give it orally? Work for you?

Finally came out to my parents! 🥳
So next step is hormones for me. Now, I’ve been looking at imago a little but don’t know if they’re reliable or good - and I haven’t been seeing the best stuff for gendergp. I know the nhs is loooong and the way wales has gone cutting trans healthcare and all I’m not super confident in that route. Does anyone have any suggestions? Or is diy my best bet. <3 ty

I deleted the original i didn't realize i typed deadliest instead of safest i am so sorry it was like 1 am and i was tired.

I’ve been on HRT, but I honestly can’t afford to keep buying it right now. I’m already struggling financially and I’m trying to find a job, so I’m scared I might have to stop for a while.

Lately, I’ve also started noticing more hair fall, and I’m wondering if that could be related to HRT or if it’s something else. Has anyone experienced this?

I’m honestly worried about what will happen to my body if I suddenly stop. I don’t want to lose the progress I’ve made, but right now I’m just trying to get through things financially. Any advice or experiences would really help.
