I'm a 26-year-old guy thinking about transitioning to female and I'm not quite sure where to start. How do I go about getting estrogen, and how much does it usually cost? Are there things I should be prepared for while going through this process?

ideally an endocrinologist or a gender-affirming clinic, for guidance on hormone replacement therapy (HRT), including estrogen; they will assess your overall health, provide personalized advice, and prescribe medication if necessary; costs vary depending on location, insurance, and specific treatments, but expect around $30-100 per month for estrogen therapy; be prepared for regular monitoring, potential side effects, and emotional changes as you begin your transition journey.

View allI'm trying to understand the difference between TSH and TSH ultrasensitive tests. How do they differ, and is one considered better than the other? It's a bit confusing to me.
TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone) and TSH Ultra-Sensitive are both blood tests that measure thyroid function, but the key difference lies in their sensitivity: TSH measures TSH levels above 0.5-1.0 mUL, while TSH Ultra-Sensitive measures levels as low as 0.01-0.05 mUL, making it more sensitive in detecting subtle thyroid function abnormalities, especially in cases of hyperthyroidism or thyroiditis, so the Ultra-Sensitive test is generally considered better for diagnosing and monitoring thyroid conditions.

My HSG report shows BL fimbrial blockage and I really want to avoid surgery are there any other ways to clear it naturally or with meds? What are my options for treatment without going under the knife?
If your HSG report shows bilateral (BL) fimbrial blockage, you have a few options for clearing the blockage without surgery. Interventional Radiology – Fallopian Tube Recanalization (FTR) is a minimally invasive procedure that can often restore fertility by clearing blockages. Another option is Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART), such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), which can bypass the need for clear fallopian tubes
