At your age? Never too old. Because I smoked when I started and have been off and on because my wife is having a hard time quitting, so that is making me have a hard time quitting completely. I found a doctor that uses biodentical pellets implanted under the skin. My doctor puts them in the fatty area in my thigh. Every 3-4 months I get bloodwork then go in for the pellet. From what my doctor told me it’s as close to as if your your body produces it. It’s a slow release over the 3-4 months. And if I start feeling bad before then, my doctor will have get bloodwork and come in early. I know when I started they were kind of new for the transgender community. But they have been around for a long time. And I still only know of 2 in SoCal that used them. I have not known anybody who did not have good results from pellets. I research and research, then do more research. It was months after my therapist had already given me a letter ok’ing hrt before I found somebody who did pellets. But I found her. I love her. She is the best. I am lucky though. I have an insane PPO. I don’t need referrals or anything like that. I can go to any doctor I choose. My insurance covers the visit and the labor to implant. But not the pellets themselves. So I think it costs me about $50 when I go in. Broken down 3-4 months is not a lot.
