I also like the fact that on injections it's WAY easier to stockpile vials for party favors or rainy days, I've got 3 unopened ones rn plus a half-full one cause they never run out before the 90 day refills hit. Usually if I stay on injections for a bit the baseline level gets high enough that the end-of-the-week symptoms aren't as bad, but I've been told on blood tests that my levels also end up dangerously high at that point, and pills really don't do much for me so I kinda consider this to be the most viable option at the moment. Plus, E shots are regularly stocked in my dosage at most local pharmacies but nobody's even heard of the patch here.

I'm only, like, a week back on em anyway, and I WAS actually on em when we hooked up at MFF, I'm kinda just ambivalent to whether or not I'm on HRT cause it's kind of a tradeoff. I like the boobs, I don't so much like the bad that comes with it.
