These are the meds and supplies part of my HRT.

  1. Needles (syringes are behind them)
  2. Progesterone
  3. Cyproterone acetate
  4. A spare box of estradiol pills
  5. Vials of estradiol valerate
  6. My auto injector
  7. (not part of HRT) Bupropion, still important.

Honestly, quite a mess, but I can find everything and I like it this way 😄
Does anyone else have a messy/crazy med cabinet for their HRT?

    Huh, that’s a good and organized way to do it. I’m not very organized 😆

    isopropyl

    Aha! Fellow isopropyl user 🤣
    I know you’re probably not supposed to, but I just use a tissue doused in isopropyl before the injection and also after, to disinfect post-injection? Idk, I’m kinda dumb honestly :3

    I kinda actually enjoy grabbing a piece of everything I need to get ready tho. It’s my ritual.
    Also, we use 1ml glass ampules in my country and the pop every time is just…mwah!

    I’m doing it again tomorrow (every 3 days) and already looking forward to it 😆

      pretty much the same - i use those round cotton makeup remover pads instead of tissues (to avoid tearing). i just hold it to the neck of the isopropyl bottle and shake once or twice to get the pad damp but not soaked, and use separate pads for disinfecting the rubber stopper and my skin. disinfecting again after the injection is new to me - i just slap a plaster on as quickly as possible after removing the needle.
