    Well, go on then :3

    OTC? Why Tesco? If OTC, then why not Wal-mart and Target and everywhere else?

    I think I’m allergic to this annoying dog who’s staying here for a bit v.v achoo! Et cetera!

      I want estrogen to be sold at every business on earth. In fact, I think theaters should only be allowed to sell popcorn if they also sell estrogen! Bars should all have estradiol valerate on tap, vending machines must dispense progesterone, and all cosmetics should have the option to include transdermal e within them.

      Unfortunately injections are not available in some countries and require going DIY

        It’s not a bug it’s a feature. If we’re already doing something as radical as making HRT available to purchase at Tesco, might as well sell it as injections. Or DIY. Be trans do crime frfr

        when you swallow a pill it goes through your liver first which reduces its potency and is bad for your liver. by taking it sublingual it would go directly to your blood but sublingual is annoying. transdermal (gel) also goes directly to the blood, just like injections.

        I’m bad at this stuff, just read the wikipedia instead: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_pass_effect
