Hi, it may be a little personal but how do you even get hrt appointments in Myanmar. I'm just curious. I don't know how one can get the prescription. I also wished for your good luck in current Myanmar situation. I'm also from Myanmar so I know how tiring it must be for you too.

I debated whether to send this through dms, but im going to answer this as an ask in case other people from Myanmar are wondering how to get HRT. There are no doctor approved ways you can get HRT so it pretty much has to be done DiY. There *is* a clinic that has experience helping trans women, but its not entirely a gender clinic, more so helping sex workers get blood tests and what not, and you can check you Testosterone and estrogen levels there. Its called "Ma Bay Dar" (you can search on facebook for their info and you need to make an appointment), and to actually get HRT pills, you either order them online from "Sunflower Whitening IV/Drip Wholesale & Retail" or go to a beauty saloon called "Hla Po Po" whose owner sells the HRT pills. The pills that you will have access to are Progynova (estradiol valerae) and Androcur (cyproterone acetate). Hope this helps. And yes, living here is exhausting. Good luck to you too, and to anyone else from MM who might be reading this lol

Androcur made me soft

[girlserpent]

feel like my mood has lightened since I kicked the androcur. which I guess is no surprise, knowing the list of side effects and all.

blue collar husband. it’s weird to work in an environment where i’m hired under my new name and still be called „she“ all the time. they’re probably confused what a weird girl name Theodor is. it feels like a slap in the face, a painful reminder of how little i pass and that it’s not as simple as just changing your name. social dysphoria has always been my biggest enemy, but it’s experiences like this that then impact my physical dysphoria. i remember reading in a brochure that one should consider to only transition socially, since hormones impact the body so heavily. fuck that. i’d rather only transition physically and let society figure this shit out on their own.

i’m signed in as a help for hire, so those jobs are irregular and spontaneous. it’ll be interesting to see how they react to me being more and more masculine each time they see me.

the stupid meds i’m supposed to take along with testo (Androcur or something) are still not available so my doctor gave me an appointment to get a shot instead. it’s a depot shot, so they will inject me with three months worth of something. i’m not even sure what exactly it is, apparently some kind of estrogen blocker to ease me into starting testosterone or something. online i read that it’s used to treat hypersexuality in men. scary shit for sure. my usually so lovely doctor sounded annoyed at the phone today when i called again to ask about what kind shot that is because i’ve never heard any transmasc get that before. she told me to read the article she handed me. i still didn’t.

my second day on T feels weird, oddly melancholic. my Pre T Voice Memo i wanted to record today won’t be authentic because i think i caught the flu from the guy i hooked up with three days ago. there you are, working towards something for so long and wanting it so bad that once you got it life suddenly seems to halt. what’s my purpose now? this should feel grand, and in a way it does, but in other ways i’m weirdly hollow. i can’t wait until something starts happening. i guess today i’m just tired and getting sick.

It's so crazy that it hasn't entered the public conscience yet, all that the CIA tried to do Fidel Castro. They hid their operatives in bushes around his private estate and shot darts with 4mg estradiol, 1mg androcur at him everyday for 4 months and this is all public knowledge

[sleepyluuu]

messed up with ibuprofen and androcur and now I feel like I'm high help

[maranull]

these days i'm playing the game of "am i tired from going to sleep later than usual for three nights in a row" or "is the androcur side-effects that quick to start hitting"

i better get used to this exhaustion soon or else i'll do nothing

Based on the results they give in the abstract, it seems like the Depo-Provera shot specifically increases the risk of intracranial meningioma (brain tumor) from 0.01% to 0.05%. So, pretty much still in the "fuck all of a percent" category, but it's actually a bigger difference than it sounds. To stick with the dice analogy, depo takes you from rolling a d10000 to a d2000 (assuming rolling a 1 = brain tumor.)

BUT — that was not the only medication they studied. It was just one they highlighted because it's so commonly used as birth control.

Other medications increased the risk considerably more, including some used for HRT in transfem people.

I looked up the brand names for each and linked my sources below. I am not a doctor or a mathematician, so please take this info with a grain of salt and talk to your doctor if you're concerned. My silly dice analogies are not medical advice. Also - the average age of people in the study was 56. If you're much younger than that, your baseline risk of cancer in general is likely to be lower than in the study. Please don't panic.

Increased risk (after taking for over a year)

medrogestone

Brand names: Ayerluton, Colpro, Colpron, Colprone, Etogyn, Prothil [1], Biodim, Wyeth, and Presomen [2]

Risk increased from 0.1% to 0.2% (d1000 vs. d500)

medroxyprogesterone acetate

Brand names: Depo-provera, Depo-subq Provera, Premphase 28 Day, Prempro 0.625/2.5 28 Day, Provera [3]

The study OP linked listed the injectable form only, so the odds may be different if you take it as a pill rather than a shot.

Risk increased from 0.01% to 0.05% (d10000 vs d2000)

promegestone

Brand names: Surgestone [4]

Risk increased from 0.2% to 0.5% (d500 vs d200)

Highly increased risk

cyproterone acetate

Brand names: Androcur, Androcur Depot, Androcur-100, Androstat, Asoteron, Cyprone, Cyproplex, Cyprostat, Cysaxal, Imvel, and Siterone [5]

Also formulated in combination with other drugs. I am not sure if the study linked in the previous post also looked at these combinations, so please keep in mind that the risk amounts given may not accurately apply to medications under these brand names: Andro-Diane, Bella HEXAL 35, Chloe, Cypretil, Cypretyl, Cyproderm, Diane, Diane Mite, Diane-35, Dianette, Dixi 35, Drina, Elleacnelle, Estelle, Estelle-35, Ginette, Linface, Minerva, Vreya, and Zyrona; Climen, Climene, Elamax, and Femilar [5]

Risk increased from 0.3% to 4.9% (d333 vs ~d20 (technically more like 20.4). This is a BIG jump.)

nomegestrol acetate

Brand names: Lutenyl, or combined with estradiol as Zoely or Naemis. [6] Again, not sure how much this study applies to the combinations.

Risk increased from 1.2% to 5.1% (~d83 vs ~d20 (technically 19.6))

chlormadinone acetate

Brand names: Clordion, Gestafortin, Gestogan, Lormin, Lutéran, Lutoral, Menstridyl, Non-Ovlon, Normenon, Prococyd, Progestormon, Prostal, Synchrogest, Verton, and others; combined with EE as Belara and Belarina, but keep in mind that the risks may be different for the combined drugs. [7]

Risk increased from 1.0% to 3.5% (d100 vs ~ d28 (technically 28.5)

Please talk to your doctor if you have concerns and are taking one of these medications. Everyone deserves to be informed about which dice they're rolling.

hello all just popping on to say that if youve taken depo provera (injectable birth control) for a long period, it has now been linked with a much higher risk (5.6x base likelihood) of brain tumors than the base population and there is a lawsuit being staged against pfizer for not disclosing or investigating this risk.

Spokane is close and has a Planned Parenthood, but how do I get Androcur as a filthy Merikan? And my insurance won't be covered since I'm in North Idaho now. Of course this has to be unnecessarily complicated. 🙂

Androcur

[catishcat]

woke up randomly in the middle of the night and cried my eyes out about not having estradiol.

it's not right that i have to choose between food and hrt, and i always choose food cause i'm not living alone. if i did, i'd give up eating half the days.

it's easy to have 60gel (like $20-25) at any one point to get a month of estrofem, plus 50gel every 80 days for androcur (CPA), but then no food money. and it's not always possible to wrangle it out of our parents.

it's not right that it's the same money. how is this right. why do i have to choose.

[dianight]

Also doing some budget adjustments and it's insane how much cheaper it is per month when you have a prescription.

A box of androcur was 57€+ potential extra shipping costs. It was ~4,50€ here, can't remember exactly how much.

For valerate it was 0,30€ for a box that lasts ~10 days, so it's less than one euro per month instead of 30€. Last time I had to buy some other stuff so I didn't realize it was so cheap.

Unreal.
