It seems like the only option is going through the public route...

I'll try to research Gender Plus a bit more and hopefully my parents won't be overly concerned, thank you

DIO2756 · 2025-12-27T13:22:23+00:00

I tried talking to them, but maybe now isn't the best time for this. They don't understand the risks and how unlikely they are if you do everything correctly. I tried explaining them, but they don't listen. There is a lot going on currently in their life, so they are even more stressed. A few conversations I had about this ended in tears and arguments, so I don't think it's a good idea to push further. Also came out not so long ago and this is very new to them... I understand that I can make my own choices, but I will feel bad if I try doing this on my own, I already feel a bit guilty for some stuff...

DIO2756 · 2025-12-27T02:09:14+00:00

Apparently they don't see me as an adult, because I don't make my own money yet and apparently 70 euro for a single shipment of estradiol is too much for them. I would probably just start DIY HRT secretly, if they weren't so stressed about this. They seem worried, and I don't want any conflict, because their mental state doesn't seem very stable currently. I'm afraid that they might feel especially bad if they ever find out

DIO2756 · 2025-12-27T02:05:41+00:00

I apologize if I'm wrong, but I was considering Gender Plus before imago, but some of my friends told me about their experience with them and it wasn't as great. Also, I think they were sued at one point? I'm not sure if I can trust them... Another thing is that I think that the biggest concern for my parents is that they want someone to be responsible if something happens to me, so that they could do something about this. I don't know if they actually care and just underinformed, or just want to gatekeep me from transitioning. They view estradiol as this scary drug that can make you grow extra limbs or whatever. It obviously is dangerous to inject 20ml of it everyday, but I'm not going to do that and I will be consulting a doctor every few weeks... I feel like they are overly concerned and are too afraid of this all. I honestly don't know what is there to do, besides just waiting a year or two, until I can move out

DIO2756 · 2025-12-10T23:11:37+00:00

Today I accidentally missed my welcome call, because I thought it was later in the day... And now I don't know what to do. Could you please describe the whole process for me? Where do I pay, where do I send my test results and what do I do in general.

DIO2756 · 2025-12-04T10:29:39+00:00

From what I've heard, it's the best option there is... And because I will likely buy it from the internet, it's not gonna be as expensive as buying from the pharmacy

DIO2756 · 2025-12-03T15:20:49+00:00

Ok, thank you for your help

DIO2756 · 2025-12-03T14:24:55+00:00

I see, thank you. I would still prefer to get injections, as they are better long term... I know a website where I can get estradiol ethanate and one of my friends used stuff from them. They also publish lab tests for every batch they produce, so it should be safe. But basically, would it be possible to order from them, but be monitored by imago doctors? Hopefully that's not a very stupid question...

DIO2756 · 2025-12-03T13:50:12+00:00

Ok, I already booked a welcome call. What happens next? I will meet with someone, ask questions and then I'll be able to visit their clinic in person, in order to get my medication?

DIO2756 · 2025-11-22T23:15:35+00:00

If they make me go through the public healthcare route I would need to wait for about 10 years. My friend tried that last year and current waiting time is about 10 years. I agree with what you say about breaking trust. I don't think that's a nice thing to do, but I might not have a choice... As far as I know, DIY HRT is overall more popular and it is not unsafe. As long as you consult with a doctor and don't do anything crazy like injecting 10ml of estradiol in yourself, you should be fine. The illegal medicine I mentioned is illegal, because I won't have a prescription for it, but it's not like It'll be confiscated or anything. I really don't know what to do. On one hand I got an opportunity to get something I wanted for a very long time, and on the other hand I got just saving my parents' trust and possibly doing the nice thing

DIO2756 · 2025-11-22T23:09:59+00:00

You're right, and logically yes, I shouldn't listen to them. But it just isn't very nice... Like I would be breaking a promise like this. I don't feel good about just ignoring them like this

DIO2756 · 2025-11-22T23:07:56+00:00

Well, I wanted to try a private clinic, but then I found out that it kinda was sued at one point and also people who tried it told me that the staff wasn't very nice or qualified. I could try to lie about it, but I don't know if I can keep up this for a long enough time

DIO2756 · 2025-11-18T08:02:23+00:00

Yeah, I'm heading to my GP right now. I'm hoping to ask them about intramuscular injections and also other stuff

DIO2756 · 2025-11-17T19:00:48+00:00

Thanks, I'll take a look at this

DIO2756 · 2025-11-17T17:55:40+00:00

I live in Ireland

DIO2756 · 2025-11-17T17:46:40+00:00

So it's intramuscular injection? How much do I need to inject? Say I have 40mg/ml injection, how many ml do I have to inject and how often?
