These are the meds and supplies part of my HRT.

  1. Needles (syringes are behind them)
  2. Progesterone
  3. Cyproterone acetate
  4. A spare box of estradiol pills
  5. Vials of estradiol valerate
  6. My auto injector
  7. (not part of HRT) Bupropion, still important.

Honestly, quite a mess, but I can find everything and I like it this way 😄
Does anyone else have a messy/crazy med cabinet for their HRT?

    My “kit” as it were Also, equally as important but i dont see anyone else that showed theirs, a sharps container! If you dont have one i urge you to get one. If you cant get one then reach out and ill see what i can do about getting you one

    Syringe bodies on the left, needle tips on right with vials, lots and lots of alcohol wipes, some silicone caps and small bandages.

    I keep a sharpie in there too to mark the amount of shots ive taken from one vial, which i will say was a great idea for keeping track of # of shots and how old the vial is!❤️❤️

      Yes! Totally forgot.
      To be honest, I use a glass jar for used ampules, needled and syringes…I’m just slowly collecting waste and planning to bring it to a pharmacy, to dispose of it safely…

        Yikes i dont wanna think what happens if you ever drop it! 😨 I know not everyone has the money and thats fine, but my container was 7$ at like any pharmacy, wont break if i drop(plastic) and importantly won’t spew needles everywhere if i do drop it. I know your probly fine and being safe, i just worry about worst case 😅

        It’ll also take forever to completely fill it but once i do the lid “permanently” closes (not if you break into it but like why??)

          You’re right…I’ll get a proper sharps container. Even though I’m very careful with everything glass, it’s best to be really careful with this kind of stuff.
          Also, a proper sharps container can probably hold way more than a little glass jar.

          Huh, that’s a nice little bit of extra safety. I like that a lot!

          Thank you Brooke. I’ll make a trip to the pharmacy 🩷
