Getting off official HRT to hopefully make my own
I am currently "offically" on HRT, with an endo and everything. Though they are grossly incompetent, so I am dosing everything myself, I just need them to prescribe my gel. The problem I now have, is that my endo is no longer treating me and I won't be able to get my prescriptions in the near future. Getting another endo is going to take a very long time. Paying without insurance is going to be too expensive in the long run.
I am now 1 1/2 years on mono gel (about 3.75mg/day) and now almost two months on 200mg prog, taken rectally. I can get blood test for very cheap, I am currently sitting at 250 pg/ml E2 and 29 ng/dL T, so all good. I haven't tested for prog yet, these results are from before starting it.
Now, my gel says it contains 0.6mg E2/g, with 2 pumps being 2.5g of gel containing 1.5mg E2. At 5 pumps a day (applied to inner thigh), that puts me at 3.75mg E2/day if my math is mathing.
Looking at the wiki, I am tempted to try out DeathMetalTransbian's recipe.
I am wondering, with the recipe resulting in 1L of 2mg/ml E2 gel, to get the same dosage I would need about 1.875 ml/day, with the entire liter lasting me for over 500 days. I highly doubt the gel lasts that long, right? I assume I can just scale it down. But if I for example want to stock up on raws for the next X years, can I just freeze and thaw them?
Another question I have had: I have seen recipes with prog in them. I don't have test results for my current prog levels yet, but how do I compare the dosages? I have heard from friends that prog sprays/gels are more difficult to predict. So if I am good with my 200mg/day, what dosage should I aim for in the gel?
Thank you ❤️
