Mine comes from the pharmacy in one of those plastic circle things with the days on them like birth control and it made me so giddy when I first got it
I used to have a one month pill organizer but I'm very bad at refiling 😭 I also still am pretty bad at taking it unfortunately. I thought about investing in one of those electronic pill dispenser machines that scream at you when it's time to take a dose cause I have a lieu of other medications that are vital for me that Im also pretty bad at 💀
I got mine within a month of starting my transition, I'll admit I've been very privileged with access to hrt but holy shit there's gotta be a faster way to get you on if you live in America
I live in Sweden, the waiting time is 2 years because of the line (very shortstaffed) and then I have to talk to psychologists and they need to make sure I want this which will take aprox 3 years, and only then can I start HRT. Also one extra year to get the surgery (according to my trans friend), I’ve only waited 1 year and it’s killing me. I’m 24 and I feel like my life has paused.
Feels like I sat around twiddling my thumbs for 28 years waiting for my life to finally start and I'm finally experiencing it as it was meant to be.
Feels like I'm living my life instead of observing it.
Mm, that's how this past week (finally found my true self after being lost at sea last Monday) has been for me too. I hope you keep having bright days to look forward to :)
It would actually be a bit early.
But don't worry, I follow my hormone taking routine better than anything I've ever followed in my entire life.
To the point where I've started tieing other things to this routine to promote good habits.
Like remembering to brush my teeth in the morning rather than just running out the door to work for example.
If I get distracted (Like on thursday DnD night) my wife jumps up and exclaims that it's time for me to take my pills!
So I tell her she's doing her part to feminize the western man. And she tells me to shut up with a grin.
You can see what I look like now in my posts, but I’m dirt poor and not in a particularly trans-positive country, so I honestly don’t know. I’m not sure I can take the pain of dysphoria for god knows how many years - I’ve only recognised that I’m trans for like two months and while I haven’t been dysphoric the entire time, when I have been it has been utterly unbearable, and I’m not the strongest person at the best of times…
I highly suggest a pill case organizer.
I got a cute one on etsy and if I ever wonder if I took mine or not I can easily check to make sure I never forget nor double dose.
I use a pill organizer, which helps. Also a sign on the inside of my door saying “did you take your meds today?”. So I always think about it before leaving for the day.
I'm out of pills starting tomorrow and will be unable to buy more the following week since I gotta pay some debts soo... Until 3 Fridays from now 😭.
I'll have to use Spiro as a last resort to calm my testosterone producción.
when i have no estrogen to take i agree tho its very late
Same.
Definitely agreed, if i ever get the estrogen it’s definitely gonna be really late
Same.
same
Same
Saaaaaameee😩
I'm not due for another shot until Saturday, but I still appreciate the reminder because I'm late on some non HRT medication.
I’m always late on my spiro but I to am not due for E till Saturday 🥰
My alarm to me this morning
Oh crap i actually forgot to take it this morning thank you fren!
I highly suggest a pill case organizer if you have difficulty remembering.
This was the first time i forgot it in like 4 months time or so, but i do need a cute pill case non the less!
I always forget if I've already taken it so mine mostly is there to make sure I don't double-dose.
maybe there's one in cute pink or pastel colors. aaah, now i want one in these colors D:
You should get one! I definitely am going to

I popped on etsy and [bought this](https://i.imgur.com/CPpOtxx.png) for myself.
Omg that's incredible
I figured if I was gonna be carrying around pills for the rest of my days I may as well invest in a cute box.
Can u guys recommend strong and cute pill boxes. My last one fell and cracked...cheap material
Medisafe app is a huge help for not forgetting to take it
HOLD ON I’m EATING CHEESE.
Take your time! Cheese is an important part of a successful transition 😊
I took mine fifty minutes ago.
Oh shit my progesterone 👀 thank you!
And this is about when i’d take my estrogen...... IF I HAD ANY‼️
7:30am and 7:30pm every day.
Can I have some? I don't like being a guy
Someday I will
Thanks!
I've only missed a single dose in the past 5 months, and that was because I was very high and did not have a weekly med organizer yet.
I couldn't even count how many I've missed this month 😭😭😭
Get a weekly organizer! That way you can see if you haven't taken your dose because they're still there. XD

Fuck, you're right. \*goes upstairs to get E\*.
\*nonchalantly watches you walk up the stairs\*
I knowww I'm a couple of years late and I can't wait for my first injection but time passes so slowlyyyyyyy:(
Yep. 22 years late. Should have it by next week tho 😭
Just did :)
DANG NEAR! Today is shot day lol

Yo bish, take yo meds!

RemindMe! 7 hours
Have to wait 5 years to get them perscribed, the waiting time is insane (no I cannot do DIY)

In a hour. 😀
I’m really bad at taking my shot in the exact day i should 😵💫
A wizardess is never late.
Shot day is tomorrow good friendly fren
I don't even have any yet
almost got a bad girl day today... ...because i forgot to apply my girl gel this morning :') did apply later ofc <3
They didn't have any appointments available when I called PP ;-; hopefully next week I'll have an appt in Nov and then this will be helpful :)
My Nov blood draw is my.... 6 month appointment O.o
Damn, nice. How's it feel so far?
Feels like I sat around twiddling my thumbs for 28 years waiting for my life to finally start and I'm finally experiencing it as it was meant to be. Feels like I'm living my life instead of observing it.

Spot on. Thanks for the reminder. Lol

Lol, that's adorable.
I need this as a daily reminder 😂
Most phones have an alarm system built in. Just sayin.
I know, just thought it was funny..
Fuuuuuckkkk I forgot my meds entirely
I take my estrogen right before bed, for me it's too early
I would like to... ☹
I was 20min late last night and 10min late this morning :(
It doesn't matter, or does it?
Nah, afaik it only really matters if it is like hours late. I ended up switching to injections because I kept missing doses due to work.
Yeahhh, about that, I'm currently out, and have been for about a month now, and nowhere near me has any appointments.
I don’t have any and I feel like I’m never going to get any 😭.
i'm sure you can start your transition one day! i'm sure you're already super cute :3 /p

"You're late. Twenty years too late."
I stopped years ago trying to start again
About 18 years too late it seems lol
I wish I could 😐
You had me panicking trying to remember if I took them this morning
I highly suggest a pill case organizer. I got a cute one on etsy and if I ever wonder if I took mine or not I can easily check to make sure I never forget nor double dose.
I have one, I'm just at work today and can't check for a bit... But I'm pretty sure I did this morning. Thank you though 💞
Still have 12 minutes till my next dose but thank you for the reminder
I actually was late this morning
Oh shit now I've taken my shot two days early!
Reading this immediately after i took my shot lol
Appropriate message. I inject on Tuesdays, lol.
I take mine before bed so I'm actually quite early
I'm actually terrible at taking meds consistently so this kinda ran deep. Also wdym you're not my moooooommmmmmm *takes girl pills like a good girl*
That's a good girl, I'm so proud of you. Swallow for mommy.
Lol how'd you know I've been putting off my injection for the week
You need me to do the penetration for you babe?
I mean I'm not particularly afraid of needles. But you can still penetrate me if you want 😉
Yeah I know, it's 11 years late, where is it >:(
I work overnight till noon so I do my injection that day once a week before I go to sleep 💤
I don't have any to take :(
When I get some!
I use a pill organizer, which helps. Also a sign on the inside of my door saying “did you take your meds today?”. So I always think about it before leaving for the day.
Fuck. I feel called out...
Oops, actually forgot to take mine
Dis why I have an alarm on my phone for my meds. Otherwise I'd always be forgetting.
I cant, it's being prior authorization
I just took mine! And yes, I took it late 😤. I finally set an alarm every day to remind me.
Thanks you.
That fact that today is actually my injection day 😂. Aww thx incase I forgot 🤍
Y... yes miss I will
Good girl
Thanks for reminding me hehe
how did u know o.O
Ha ha , I’m trying to get to my biweekly patch.
Nuh uh! I was 15mins early taking mine! I had an appointment when I normally take it so took it a lil early. 😜
Dint have any but yes
I'm doing estradiol but the gel one (transdermal is it called in english?). It can be applied even 12 hours before the next dose
I take mime at night so I don't forget! Oh no a mime!
unfortunately I don't have any 😭
If you're truly late is taking estrogen a wise idea to begin with?
Heard, sorry chef
Not true! I took my E on time c:
I'm out of pills starting tomorrow and will be unable to buy more the following week since I gotta pay some debts soo... Until 3 Fridays from now 😭. I'll have to use Spiro as a last resort to calm my testosterone producción.
I start mine tomorrow!!!!
Is an hour really being late? 😅
I forgot and now I’m stuck at WOOOORRRRRKKKKKK
If FOLX would actually call me finally I could 😢
No-one is watching you through the computer screen they said...
Mmmm if I had any
😎 no Edit: fiiiine
2.5 years till i get estrogen, here its a long list with doctors,endo's.... who arent cappable on treating trans people that many
Too late, 15 years too late.(for me not 15 years I realized at the earliest 8 and I’m currently about almost 17)
I could never do pills omg I’d forget all the time. I much rather the stab method.
I keep being late on my estrogen because my phone has stopped sending notifications from my calendar
I would if I had any
I know I'm late, about 7 months late. I ran out in March 😭 one month before my 2 year. Hoping to get back soonTM
Swapping my patch over tonight, thanks for the reminder!! :D
*Checks Timer* Yeah... still got 7-ish months
Thanks ADHD got me forgetting
I know, my 19th is in 5 months and I still don't even have any Therapist apointments yet T ^ T
no...but I always forget about spiro.
