So I am hypothetically, allegedly, possibly, asking for a friend about info regarding to DIY hrt. What are common pitfalls to avoid, people's favorite sources and ways to stay safe wile doing DIY. firstly, is coffee.hrt a good aggregator for pharmaceutical sites? Secondly, on average, how long can the results of estrogen be hidden before it become obvious? Thirdly, where can I find good dosage charts. Lastly, if I can't access or afford blood testing, how do I keep dosage safe and effective?

    Hiding effects is relatively easy for about two years, then it gets harder. Hrt is a slow process. And ymmv, some people get giant tits almost immediately if it's in their genetics

        Do we know if those genes come from the mothers side or the fathers side (or just mix n match), genetically? Cause my mamas side has a bunch of fairly small breasted women, and my fathers side is the opposite. Really hoping its like male pattern baldness where it affects men and people producing DHT, but comes from the mothers side. Come on dad, do something actually helpful for once and give me giant titties

          praying but i've been on hrt for years and i think i simply do not have the genes

          also i have digestive problems that keep me unhealthily skinny which might be more relevant

            Certainly an archetype of trans women, strong in the meta

          If it means anything, I'm one of the lucky few and my genetics are roughly the same as yours. Except my mother's side is more of an average than a small.
