Any way to tell if a source is reputable and contain what they say they do without having a lab at home? At the moment, steroids sites with lots of reviews seem most promising. I'm just here looking for a little reassurance to know that, should the typical pathway to get on T look to take me more than a year, I have a well planned plan B.

I have a flight in about 8 weeks, and I'm very nervous about bringing my hrt. The flight is just around my injection day, and I'd like to keep the dose on that day if possible. I plan on only taking one of the little single use vials, one set of needles, one syringe, and then alcohol wipes and a bandaid. Will I be able to get through tsa with this? I want to keep it in a smaller bag/box all together in my carry on bag if possible, but I'm not sure if they would take it away or if I would get in trouble

I know it's on the minimal dosage side, but I wanna know if it's 100% ineffective or if there's \*some\* merit (especially if low on cash...)

specifically, a system of:
taking it really late at night - break day - taking it in the morning - break day - repeat

This is rare, but I have seen some guys join a steroid forum and mention they are trans or are looking for resources for transition.

Never do this. Seriously.

Most of these sites will be extremely transphobic toward you. They will dogpile you, they will call you slurs, they will tell you to kill yourself. There is no kind of moderation for this behavior; the report button is only there for scams and minors.

When you go on there, do not tell them you are trans. If you are a minor, lie and say you are at least 20. Never respond to DMs (most sites don't have DMs anyway). Read the forums and use the search tool to try and find what you are looking for before you make a post. Never link back to any trans sites; avoid all trans terms and lingo.

I have seen at least 3 trans men on the forum I frequent make the mistake of saying they are trans, and they are immediately harassed. Yes, it sucks, and yes, these people are shitty. Just go on there to make sure your source is legit. If you need to ask questions that seriously pertain to you being trans, ask here; ask on other trans subreddits. If you are looking for bodybuilding tips, try r/FTMFitness. For all intents and purposes, you are just a cis dude who likes roids when you're on these sites.

Protect yourself from being mistreated, please.

Hi guys. Unfortunately im unable to order medical supplies if they’re going straight to my door. I’m looking if there’s any websites with medical supplies that go to either an inpost locker or the post office. I’ve found testosterone that goes to an inpost locker, now i just need to find some medical supplies. Any help appreciated.

I I am getting desperate, and due to my life circumstances, getting T is next to impossible for me. I've been using dhea with some effects such as bottom growth and a more pronounced bump on my throat. I have pcos, so I have a tendency to convert dhea into T, I believe.

But I wish I could get T or something that will work a bit faster or than dhea.

I've read that 4-dhea is stronger but more dangerous, and that frightened me, but all the resources I found are for cis men.

Hello everyone 🫩 I never thought I would be posting here but here I am lol. I’ve been on testosterone cyp for 3 years, right now I take 80mg a week and for all three years I’ve responded super well to it and I have gotten it from an endocrinologist. My last blood draw was in January one week after I did my shot, and it was 600ng/dL. But I recently moved to Europe, and since the wait lists are very long for a specialist, my GP said she’d try to help me get my T. She gave me a prescription for testosterone undecanoate to take weekly, proving her little knowledge in this field because that is incredibly dangerous. I also have the factor 5 trait, so I’m slightly more susceptible to blood clotting which makes that even worse. I went to the pharmacy today to sort it out. And they were very rude (I didn’t even get to talk to an actual pharmacists, only students who admitted they had never seen any of this prescribed before…), ignored that I wished to stay on a weekly schedule with something as similar to cyp as possible (since it’s not really available in my new country), told me that my factor 5 trait wasn’t relevant to hormones which is false!, and ended up giving me one 1ml glass ampule of sustanon 250, and told me to inject 250mg of it every 3 weeks. I do think that’s a bad dose. I still have quite a large stockpile of cyp, and am planning on just using that until I run out and by then I will hopefully be able to see an endo. I don’t mean insult to my doctor or even the students (despite them being rude) because they all said they hardly knew anything about these medications so I guess I should just be happy they admitted they don’t know what to do. But I digress. Sorry I wrote so much everyone. But is there any way I could still use that sustanon 250 weekly if I ran out of cyp sooner than expected? Or like, is there any good reason to keep it around? I told my GP about the interaction today and why I felt sustanon 250mg every three weeks was not the best for me, and asked if she’d write me a paper prescription for testosterone enanthate, which I would have to pick up in Germany (1 or 2 hour train ride) but it’s very chemically similar to cyp. If anyone has any advice for handling doctors unaware of how HRT works especially when other medical conditions are relevant and involved, let me know! For the past 3 years I’ve been with two amazing endos in America and my factor 5 has never made a problem. But I’m staring a new school and job and honestly now is not the time to mess with my hormones especially under a bad doctors care and monitoring. Sorry that this text post is so long. And I hope this kind of thing is okay to post here. I’m just looking for I guess advice about my GP, I do plan to get a different one but what should I do if I am stuck with her? And if I can use the sustanon for anything, and if so, what? Thanks everyone for reading!

Im 21, and I've been wanting to medically transition for so long, there is an lgbtq clinic in my state but its hours away and my older brother is transphobic, hell, even just generally phobic of lgbtq, and since he is the only one who owns a car in our family, i highly doubt he'd agree for his car to be used for that

My mom knows i want to transition, and she helped me set up an appointment, which then got cancelled for the favor of a dentist appointment

I rescheduled it, but they never sent me an email at the time of the new information, so now i have no idea when that'll be, and i honestly dont care, because i seeiously dont wanna wait so many more months AGAIN

The wait time is seriously wayy too long

(Btw, my mom is very iffy about me being trans, she saids she supports me cuz im her kid and will love me no matter what gender i am, but still calls me by my dead name(only calls me by my chosen name sparingly), and she/her pronouns and all that, yet tells me she wont stop me if i choose to medically transition, so i guess thats fine at least)

Anyways, i dont know much about DIYing this stuff, and would love pointers or advice for it

No clue on how to find them. All the ones I know are domestic which isn't what I want. If you know one then please let me know. For context I am from MENA

i cannot find anything abt diy in australia at all. i don’t know if there are shipping regulations or where even to get it from? i have found nothing. i’m really only looking for gel and a low dose. i’m not a minor and have money so i am able to spend freely but i’m still in high stealth mode. please it’s so hard to find information…

I do my shots around 8pm every Thursday, but I have a flight on a Wednesday and can't take non-prescription t vials and needles through tsa for obvious reasons lmao

Am I gonna be able to take my shot early Wednesday and then go back to doing late Thursdays like usual? Or will that cause problems

The vial I’m looking at is 10mL, 250mg/mL. I plan to start with 50 mg but even when I move up it’ll still last me a very long time. How do I/ is it possible to avoid coring the vial over 6+ months?

With this in mind, anyone have advice on needle gauge? Ideally for both drawing and injecting, but I’ll switch in between if it’ll lower the chance of vial coring.

I see 28 days floating around a lot, I didn’t know about this until just now and I wanted to see what others have to say on it as well. I originally was able to obtain t through the medical system (planned parenthood) but lost it after moving, I bring them up because they did not warn me of that at all and now I am a little concerned

im a minor and wanna start t, but i have no idea where to get it from or dosing. any recommendations or advice is appreciated

I have T gel, which is legal to own in the UK for personal use. In a few weeks, I’ll be travelling to Ireland for five days (Mon-Fri), and a quick Google tells me possession of T without a prescription is blanket illegal. However I’ve travelled abroad many times in the past with prescription medication and never been asked to prove the prescription, but those have always been pills, not gel.

If I travel with gel in my bag, is it likely to be picked up through airport security?

What’s the worst possible result if I was caught in possession?

What would be the effect on my body if I left it at home and didn’t use any gel for 5 days?

I went to the endocrinologist 16 months ago but the system is so fucking slow and I can't buy testogel without a prescription, they still have to give me a date for making me health tests before prescribing it and idk how much time that will be until i can actually buy it "legally", an acquaintance passed me testogel some months ago and I've been using 25mg a day for 6 months now, but I only have for 60 more days left and then I will have to stop and that scares me so much.

Is there any site where it sells testogel and ships to Spain that is actually affordable? I trid to research but only found one that the prices are sooo high, like, 15 packets of 50mg for more than 100€.

I depend economically of my parents for the moment so it's impossible to pay that prices and for so low dosage.

Idk if maybe in shots would be more affordable and easy to find, but im so scared of injecting it myself and also I feel like I can't control the dosage as well as I do with the gel

Hello, I'm just starting to look into DIYing because I don't think there is and operating clinic where I live (it's getting ridiculous). I'm getting a bit intimidated by all the numbers and information. I have way to much experience with treating my own medical issues so that's not the problem, I just don't have a good starting point and I'm already overwhelmed.

Does anyone know some good resources to learn about this? I'm genderfluid so would it be viable to stop somewhere in the middle? I'll ask my sister (mtf) and mum for the sources they found of her hormones, it seams more like a private clinic.

So I'm currently 16 living in Texas (a red state btw)

And IT SUUUUUCKS

But I'm only 2 years or less away from being an adult, and I want to start testosterone as early as I cN. Any idea where I can get some? I can't ask my doctors (I'm a wuss and I don't want to do it in front of my parents bc they will say "you don't need it", or my parents, or anybody rlly bc my school is homophobic, my friends are great but they're in the same boat as me, and my parents say they support but me and my sister (who is trans too) have been told by our parents that they don't want us getting that stuff done to our bodies because "we're worried about your health" ​

Is there a way I can DIY it? Or idk...online shop maybe

And Planned Parenthood could work after I turn 18 but my doctors have confirmed that I will never be able to drive because I have learning disabilities and mental health issues, so I can't drive there on my own, don't feel comfortable asking my parents to take me​, my grandpa is typically the one who drives me everywhere but he's transphobic, and all that fun stuff/sarc. I might be able to get my best friend to take me bc they've been knowing how to drive since they were 10, but his mom is controlling in terms of where he drives and who he drives with, and she HATES me with a seething passion. ​​​

Hi all, so i’ve currently planned out my path to starting testosterone and im looking for advice on it. I’m planning on starting 50-75mg around mid june 2027. This is when i leave high school as im still not out to anyone, i would start earlier but im worried people might find out before i tell them. I plan on taking either 50mg or 75mg weekly (im unsure on whether 50 or 75 is a good starting point, if it’s unsafe please let me know). I start college the 1st of september 2027, by then im really hoping for a deeper voice than i have now to hopefully sound a bit masculine for college. Im unsure what results i can get within that period of time, and i know i cant really predict it. But if anyone could give me like an estimate of what would happen in that time, i would appreciate it massively as im still changing up this starting point. Thanks all!

Hello, I've been injecting 75mg testosterone cypionate for 7 weeks. My estradiol is 162 pmol/l (or 44.12 pg/ml) and my testosterone is 22.17 nmol/l (or 639 ng/dl). My estradiol is just a little bit above normal male range but do I need to adjust my dose or should I just keep taking 75 mg? Test was taken today, one day before my injection (I'm injecting tomorrow) on the second day of my period (I've had a regular cycle up until today), so my estradiol should be at its lowest point, but it's above normal male range. Also I'm scared of aromatose, so if I do have to raise my dose is raising it up to 85mg or 90mg safe?

no clue if this is the right place to ask, but I am a minor (16) who lives in oklahoma with no access to legal testosterone. Is there a way I can get access to any?? or do I wait until I am 18 to get it prescribed (?) ? i really want to get on T as soon as possible, also I am unable to get guardian consen t
