Trying hard to trust the process, and while I have seen other expected changes in skin, hair, and mood, I am getting anxious that nothing is happening under my shirt. I had some minor sensitivity within the first two weeks, but never anything painful.

This Friday will be 6 weeks on HRT. 2mg Est, 4mg Prog, 200mg Spiro daily.

Edit: thanks for talking me off the cliff everyone, I'm much less anxious now 😅

Denmark doesn't use injections for trans care, so it's simply not legally available

You can actually probably still get injections in some cases. Apparently you can request to have them ordered from the one EU country that prescribes them (can't remember which) if your GP agrees (or something like that). Still yeah, not super likely or widespread.

Patches aren't too bad for most people. I know lots of people who seem rather happy on them. Only issue is sometimes there are supply issues.
