Since I got the prescription from transpoli and not Imago or GenderGP, if I printed out the prescription and went to a Swedish pharmacy, would they still deny me?

Or would I have to take the ferry/flight to Åland and take it out there? And would I only legally be allowed to bring 2 weeks with me? How likely is it they would check and what would happen if I were to get caught?

Just want to see my options here, I study in Sweden and haven't yet bothered to move my care from transpoli to the Swedish healthcare system.

Det går bra att svara på svenska också, eller finska för den delen ☺️

Hello, half rant and half questions at the end,

I keep telling myself that it's a marathon, not a sprint, and that I'm really early on T (just under a month). But I'm still frustrated that the only things I've really noticed are my libido being higher and my downstairs department being ever so slightly bigger.

And it's probably just a case of when things happen quickly, people are excited to post it online, and for the rest of us we're just chugging along, maybe not really sharing because it's happening more slowly. But it still frustrates me and I feel like I'm missing out.

I also wish that hormonipoli didn't start me out on a micro dose either. It doesn't feel like two pumps of Tostran is enough to do much, and I'm supposed to only change it to three in two months... And then be on that dose for a YEAR. Reading the medication leaflet, it says that for cis men who've been prescribed this, they START OUT with 6 pumps. I'm never even gonna be on that dose, the doctor told me that after a year I could either switch to injections or do 4 pumps.

Is it stupid to think my T levels are always gonna be too low? Or can my body really respond well to a dose such as this? Do cis men get higher doses because their body doesn't respond as well as trans men or what?
