Injections aren't covered?! Kinda crazy imo. That's like, THE way to take hormones imo. I've heard good things about patches
in germamy injections dont even exist. The only doable way to get them is the gray market.
What the hell??? I wonder why. To me they are so easy and consistent.
couldn't find any reason.
the prefered way here is gel or pills. gel is pretty great from what i've heard. Pills are kinda ugh. I have to take pills though because of a skin condition.
There was just one company that offered them and they went bankrupt. Because trans women are such a small market and estradiole is mostly produced for menopausal cis women who do fine with gels and do not need the high monotherapy doses that benefit the most from injections, nobody has bothered going through the approval process for a new injectable product.
So much for "transgender ideology is a big pharma conspiracy".
I am hearing very different stuff on injections, some people hate them and find them bothersome, and often I hear the opposite. I guess it is personal preference and comfort with needles?
Yeah I mean I don't like the needles part. But I also did not want T blockers. I just wanted to do monotherapy and injections are the best for that as far as I understand. That being said also injections really don't hurt or anything, it's just a little weird stabbing yourself with a pointy object
They do exist if you find a pharmacy that custom makes them for you. Let's not talk about the price, though. I hear that they're easier available in Hamburg because a trans celebrity there has them produced in bulk so that they're more affordable. I wonder if regional crowdfunders would be a possibility, it's really about scale with this stuff.
