transI started self-dosing ten weeks ago. I didn't think I could possibly afford hormones, electrolysis, visiting the doctor without insurance, and therapy while attending college. I'm 18, and I thought it was necessary to prevent growth of any more chest hair.
So I did the research, ordered from an online pharmacy and started with 50mg Spironolactone, then I increased to 100mg by the end of the month in September. Since early October I've been on 2mg Estrofem, and for a week I've been on 150mg Spironolactone. Each time I've taken everything divided between day and night, except for when I was on 1mg Estrofem, which I took only at night.
How do I handle 3mg of a pill that only comes in 1mg and 2mg doses? Do I just take 2mg at night and 1mg in the morning? I don't think pill splitters may be applicable here. I was planning on upping the dosage about a month from now, but that was provided I couldn't find a doctor willing to monitor without a therapist recommendation. I think I'm going to see a doctor soon, now that I have my grant and I'm sure the hormones can be paid for by what I currently have.
