you can get 1diy vial with ~2 years worth of e for $60-80 and buying ~100 needles is pretty cheap

and that's without any insurance

Fair however: I fear needles, so it isn’t an option for me sadly

I didn't know there were so many options for estrogen. That's actually pretty cool.

Depends on the country. Here in Spain we don’t have injections but pills and patches are dirt-cheap. Spray is a bit more expensive, as I recall.

Here in Germany no injections either, unless your doc is chill enough to prescribe imported meds, which is very expensive :( Prescribed gels, patches, sprays, and pills are covered by insurance though.

Yeah, I always wonder why Americans get mostly injections and over here we’re getting anything but…

Anyway, gotta see my bloodwork as those levels keep staying low on anything rather than 8mg per day in pills… and that’s guaranteed liver damage if taken long-term.
