Hormones are fucking impossible to stockpile. I've been on them for over a decade and have never had more than a month's supply out. It's fucking difficult since insurance only approves one month at a time so you have to reduce your intake to build up stock unless you have a really nice endo who's willing to overprescribe. That's also assuming you don't have issues getting constant prescriptions for life. My experience has been that transgenderism in healthcare or government is treated with hesitancy and prejudice, even in a "blue" area like NYC.
I've switched to injections now since they're easier to stockpile, but I fear it won't be enough. I literally can't produce estrogen nor testosterone on my own so if I lose access I'm at high risk of osteoporosis.
But you know, maybe cheaper eggs... Maybe... And Gaza is saved
One bottle can last you multiple months, but you get prescribed a new bottle each month. Get your syringes online, it's a lot cheaper (I use medical-and-lab-supplies dot com)
Erin in the Morning provides great info on stuff like this
My pharmacy said I could buy them without insurance. E would be like $136 for 6 months. Insurance currently gets me 3 months for 30
There's always the grey market for getting raws. Of course most individuals probably don't have access to the tools and knowledge to verify purity and going from raws to safe and accurately dosed medicine is another problem. But many people were already going that route anyways before this.
