So I had my endo appointment yesterday, and a few things that came out of it:

- Getting off cypro. They're phasing it out because apparently (and I shit you not) there's an elevated risk for benign brain tumors. (caveat: this has only been discovered in folks who've been using it their entire lives and on doses at least four times higher than what I or anyone I know is on).

- No progesterone (yet?) because they categorically don't prescribe it where I'm at, but I *did* get my info passed through for a study looking into the effects of it (meaning I might get on it down the line anyway), that although it currently focuses on post-op trans women my endo *did* agree I brought up a very good point by mentioning that not including pre-/non-op trans women into it all would be missing out on a huge chunk of the bigger picture. So, there's that, I guess?

So yeah, one less pill to worry about for now (I'll have a call with my endo in three weeks to see how I'm doing - if the change makes me feel like shit I'm getting back on cypro again), may have my E dose hiked sometime in the not too far future to compensate.

@kiilas mostly I just don't see it being absorbed all that well in that manner

though that said I'm also very much not a doctor

@kiilas I don't think that's gonna work honestly

as tempting as it is to just crush one of those bad boys up and snort it like a line of coke

@Oneironott long chile real

@AzureHusky excellent, thank you! <3

@AzureHusky Oh! Speaking of, I'm actually gonna try and convince the folks at the gender clinic to get me on that in *checks* like twelve hours and then some, any pointers on what to tell 'em?

@Goldkin Good, yes 💙

@starkatt 💙 = default heart for me

any other color = I probably typo'd or just wrote out <3 and it got autoconverted to an emojo
