I assume this is for DIY? I'm not sure it's a good idea to be sourcing in a thread like this, tbh - that can lead to trouble (though it's up to the mods, I know a lot of communities ban sourcing discussion).
not for diy, i don't have the equipment or time to do that :(
i didn't see anything in the rules of the community regarding sourcing
DIY just means not through a prescription / doctor, maybe you thought I meant "homebrewing" (i.e. compounding your own prog)?
If you are seeing a doctor (i.e. not DIY) you can just ask them to prescribe you prog, at least in the U.S. it's typical to be able to access oral biodentical prog gel capsules that can be safely used rectally for proper absorption.
I agree, I don't see any rules around sourcing - it's a common rule to protect the sources, however, and I'm just flagging the norm in case you run into trouble.
Have you checked out the Matrix HRT chatroom? That might be a better place for these discussions? 🤷♀️
oh then yeah diy. i did in fact confuse it for homebrew. im not seeing a doc about this (america ;-;).
fair enough about protecting the sources. i just didn't know where else to ask.
i did not know there was a chatroom! thank you, will be checking that out
