This is why I hoard my HRT meds even though I don’t need to. If I ever come across a trans person who needs estrogen, I can hook them up so they don’t have to worry about up front expenses. I have something like 9 months of pill Estradiol and 5 months of Spiro (both calculated as beginner doses increasing every 3 months) just sitting in a box for someone that needs it. I’m very aware that I’m lucky that I can afford the care. I know not everyone can.
I believe it's like any other medication. Keep it in a dry environment around standard room temps. What I do, however, is that my wife is still on pill Estrogen, so we FILO with her meds so it keeps the stock fresh so to speak. I don't think any of the pills I have are more than 6 months old and I've been on injections for about 6 months.

I wonder what's the best way to make sure it keeps
