Tips for HRT prep? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

How do you do, fellow ladies?

If all goes as planned, I'll be starting HRT in just a few weeks (๐Ÿ˜). Does anyone have any practical tips on things to do or procure in advance? So far, all I've managed to deduce from wandering the internet is:

  • cryopreservation of sperm
  • find and secure a bralette that fits comfortably, by the time things get tender
  • stock up on pickles

Anything else I'll likely be happy to have prepped in advance?

Note: flagged this as NSFW to encourage open conversation, and in case mere mention of sperm warrants it.

https://transfemscience.org/ is an excellent resource for everything related to HRT.
Really all you need to measure is Testosterone and Estrogen, though there's plenty more you can keep an eye on, such as DHT, E2, your liver and your thyroid levels.

Perfect, thank you! This is a great starting point.
