Notes

These are estradiol gel packets and a testosterone blocking injection. I use 3 gel packets everyday and the injection every 10 weeks. Getting these was an annoying process. The mental health team were being dickheads and gatekeeping me from the Gender Clinic. I had to self medicate for a month as I felt desperate but it became too expensive. It took a few years to get past the MH team but I eventually got prescribed these and they're a life saver.
