Of course, they do mean under a doctor's guidance. If you self med and overdose you can run into trouble.
What would worry me more is if liver readings get out of range, but that's usually caught and I'm guessing doesn't show up in this study (ie the study doesn't include those who had to stop). I wouldn't be so worried about overdosing so long as rough doses by body weight from reputable, trustworthy sources are available to the self-medicators out there. It's a sign of privilege when we assume everyone in the world has the economic ability and health care availability to be able to avoid self-dosing of hormones. For many, they are not optional and the alternative is the same (an early death, by one route or another).
I wish there was more that could be done...instead we pretend like it doesn't happen and keep the dosages hidden. And yes, kind moderators, I understand the liability issue for sites such as this, and no, I'm not railing against Susan. Doesn't mean I have to like the reality of the whole situation, you know?
