new here?
a short guide to what this site is, how to use it, what the little chips mean, and where to find real medical and dosing information (it's not here).
tl;dr: a live stock tracker for diy hrt vendors. we don't sell anything, give medical advice, or endorse vendors.
we do
- check a curated set of vendors around the clock and show what's in stock
- ping you when something you want comes back
- point at each vendor's lab testing, canary and reviews
we don't
- sell anything, hold stock or take payments. links go straight to the vendor
- give medical advice. dosing, bloodwork, side effects: see diy hrt 101 below
- call any vendor safe or approved. we show what was published, when, by whom
similar projects: valerie.vg (community sourcing information) and the older hrtcafe (down at the time of writing). same general idea, our own checks and servers.
- 1home
see what's in stock
the home page lists everything in stock right now, with prices, filterable by region.
- 2vendors
look into the vendor
who tested their stuff, how, and whether they publish a warrant canary.
- 3reviews
read what people said
reviews with stars and photos from people who ordered. anecdotes, not lab data.
- 4set up alerts
get an alert
make an account and get pinged on discord, ntfy or gotify when something you want is back.
- 5calculator
plan and check levels
the calculator models estradiol levels for a regimen. an estimate to plan around; bloodwork is the real answer.

the big one is testing, and the question is who picked the sample:
- 3rd party
someone independent bought it and had it tested
- 2nd party
the vendor sent a sample to an outside lab
- 1st party
the vendor's own numbers
this site deliberately doesn't host medical information; others do it far better. start with these:
- diyhrt.infocommunity knowledge base, successor to diyhrt.wiki
- trans.diyharm-reduction database for self-administered hrt
- transfemsciencepharmacology, dosing references, reading bloodwork
- a practical guide to feminising hrtby Katie Tightpussy
- r/TransDIYvendor reviews, advice, troubleshooting
- trans harm reductionindependent lab testing and a results database
things we will say out loud
- get bloods done. diy or not, your levels matter more than your dose schedule.
- check lab results yourself. janoshik and trans harm reduction both let you confirm a report with its task number and key.
- start low. the sources above cover what the community considers sensible starting doses.
- read more than one source. information online is a snapshot, and diy changes fast.
spotted a vendor we should track, a missing lab result, or a bug? use the contact form or the discord, which is quicker and where things like funding a lab test get organised.
canaries: this site has its own at /canary, with step-by-step checking. a vendor canary shows up as a chip on their card.
