I am trying to find a place on the net that I can buy hormones without a prescription. I know the risks in self-medicating, and as soon as I can find a reputable and sympathetic doctor, I plan on going that route. I am just a little impatient and I want to start now...
Any ideas?

Hi Nycole!

I know a lot of girls use Inhouse Pharmacy. You can probably Google them. You might also take a look at the Gender Identity Center website and their local resource list...

http://www.gicofcolo.org/

There are several doctors, including some not even on the list, that treat trans people here. Colorado has a lot of trans resources, so finding a doc shouldn't be much hassle.

If you are in a major city, try going to one of the major low-income subsidized health clinics. They often have very sympathetic physicians with low-income gender patients for whom they prescribe HRT without much rigmarole. From what I have read, this is true at least in cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Seattle, and so on. With a prescription, you can then purchase estradiol pills, and other generics, at places like Walmart for about $4.00 per month.

Doesn't Denver have a gender group? What about the WPATH member there, whose name I think is Rachael St. Claire, Psy.D.? She might know about such subsidized health clinics there.

I use Inhouse Pharmacy. Have had no problems so far. There's a link for transgender customers for hormones. Easy to order and meds get here within 2 weeks or less.

I would put all my resources into finding a doctor. It can be difficult (I drive 2.5 hours to see mine) but it is totally worth it to know someone is checking your lab work to make sure you are safe and healthy. Once you get the prescriptions, you should be able to get the hormones relatively inexpensively. I hate Wal-Mart, but love the $4 generic prescription drug program.

Mahatma Ghandi, though a devout Hindu, was widely known to admire Jesus; Ghandi often quoted from the Sermon on the Mount, in fact. Once when the missionary E. Stanley Jones met with Ghandi he asked him, "Mr. Ghandi, though you quote the words of Christ often, why is that you appear to so adamantly reject becoming his follower?"
Ghandi replied, "Oh, I don't reject your Christ. I love your Christ. It's just that so many of you Christians are so unlike your Christ."

I agree with Hope. In the long run, you will probably save money just going to a doctor, especially if you are on a few different prescriptions.

There are easily ten doctors in Denver regularly treating transwomen.

I was feeling the same way a month ago. 2 bad there isn't a goodly amount of docs out there to go to. Yeah, like the others said, inhouse seems to be the A+ place. But do please try to locate a doctor.

still cant believe people dont use a doctor and go to inhouse pharmacies online its bad

Please go to a doctor and get prescribed as pharmacies dont know your DNA and can seriously damage your well being
saying a online pharmacy has a link for ts people to order certain hormones and believing thats the right thing to do and believing them is incredibly foolish

Dont be so foolish to do or think otherwise

At what price your life ?

Go to a dr please
