Title: 2 months on HRT ( self medicating )
Post by: Hammymrz on March 28, 2019, 06:30:54 PM
Hi hammy's here 23y, I'm 2nd month on my hrt I'm self-medicating.I'm from Pakistan and here we actually don't have the medical facilities for transgender's, So it leave only one option for us to do it by your self or do nothing. I know it's dangerous and may cause harm but is the only way we have here. I do get my lab work done all by my self and we usually take normal prescription dosages. So that's an intro and bit about my self.



So My question is about a month on hrt I've noticed my nipples are enlarged and get so much sensitive they hurt sometimes and get itchy, I know it's the first stage of them to grow bigger, the question is actually about my body hairs they are literally falling apart from my chest/hand/legs and even from my beard/mustache.
But not from my scalp. I always heard that even you're on hrt for years you have to go for the laser or any other hair removal method.
I know it's a good thing for me but does this happened to all of you?

Regards,

Oh.. I understand you so well.. I started my HRT by myself when I was 18 because I really could not wait another day.. But pills are more dangerous than we think. A higher dose than necessary can be very harmful to your health.. If you don't have money to go to a private specialist you should try to Social insurance..

Please, be patient and careful with your health, is the most important. You will reach everything you propose.
