    My doctor monitors my levels and prescribed injections. Sublingual was fine though. Yeah you should go in knowing more than your md, but you do benefit from regular level checks

      Agreed! Our GP actually let’s us do blood tests whenever we ask for it, so we know that what we’re injecting actually contains what’s written on the packaging and that it yields the expected levels. We (mostly me) also spent a lot of time reading up and preparing before even starting the FHT… Just wanted to add a coma to your original statement, didn’t intend to make it sound contradicting. 😅

      WPATH standards of care actually require a doctor to continue to do things like monitoring levels for patients that opt for DIY. I’ve checked with my doctor already if I wanted to switch to DIY shots and she’d be fine to continue to monitor things.
