I'm trying to make sure I am doing this all correctly.

Maybe it should be exclusively DIY and not through official channels, which may be more expensive, right?

I am aiming to start HRT by the end of April.

I don't know any DIY channels in Virginia or what the cheapest ones are.

I also want to save money for laser and electrolysis. I am sure there are places in Virginia that give it.

I was going to get funds (about $40 in total) for a pepper spray can to defend myself with and some OTC meds for my gastrointestinal health, but eh, I was told recently that I should stop that so I did.

What if it's something a bit more pressing like where I will get my estradiol from? Is that good enough or nah?
