Hi! Sorry if this isn't allowed. Although I don't think there is a rule against it, I can remove it if it is a problem!

My (literal) skin craves tiddy skittles. Endocrine systems are very complex, but TBIs + dry skin to the point of bleeding a little bit does generally point to not enough E being produced. Please do not tell me to visit a doctor, especially about the physical head trauma... There is no treatment to speak of, other than mitigating neuroinflammation, which I did do (over two years ago), when the last head bonk happened. I am safe meow, but not having a baja blast, tbh.

I'm not a "still cis tho" AMAB, trying to avoid hormones, since they're for trans folk. I lost shits to give about my presenting gender a long time ago, and consider myself agender or enby, or any expression in that vein, basically.

That said, I am pretty garbage at talking to new ppl, online or not, and also didn't want to pm a poor unexpecting soul, asking where to obtain E. "Controversial" or not, a quick test and some pills would almost definitely improve my wellbeing in multiple ways. Help finding an affordable tester and source for estrogen, or at least resources that have a trusted list would be appreciated greatly, even if they are not replies to this long-winded post.

(Thank you mods/hosters for keeping this place alive and safe, really. I am/was a lurker for a while, and this instance has been comfy af.)

tldr: I wish to obtain E, and would like a safe starting point, or a source for testing and pills.

EDIT: I just found out that Pueraria Mirifica exists... o.o Now I feel kinda dumb for posting this, but oh well. A plant with some phytoestrorogens in it seems like a saner option for dabbling in self-treatment of this type of stuff.

Sounds like you want https://diyhrt.wiki/. I'd also look around for places specifically for that (avoiding the "PM a random person"), and ask them what you posted here.

Be warned that depending on your identity and all that you might end up dysphoric (depending on your dose and genetics), but maybe not since you said you're nb/agender, idk how it works for y'all. Be careful is all.

Thank you. I might opt for a less intense option tho, specifically Mirifica, to at least see if it helps, and avoid the higher cost and at least moderate risk of taking estrodial without medically trained people's help/guidance.
