Long story short I'm a twenty year old trans woman in an extremely transphobic third world country so I have to diy- HRT.

I previously was able to buy HRT and ship in to my country around January this year but three month in it started leaking so I had to throw away the vial. I suspect this was because I was using the wrong sized drawing needles.

Now that I'm trying to get access to HRT again the site I was using to but crypto (Binance) is now telling me its unable to accept my card, google pay isn't working and due to where I live doing a back transfer doesn't seem possible. Ive already tried getting a new card it does not worse.

What course of action can I take to get hrt? and what Size syringe should I use for drawing in the future?

If the vial's rubber stopper developed a big enough hole to start leaking you should probably consider using a smaller drawing needle, transharmreduction has a good page for how to prevent this (here). I do subq injections so I use very small (insulin) needles in the first place, not sure if this is the best way to do it, I've only drawn 5 times, but I doubt I'd have issues with coring.

I can't really help much when it comes to crypto, but other people on here might be able to.
