I was a wreck before I started hormone therapy. I will never quit. I feel so much better. Prescription HRT is easier to dose precisely but estradiol and progesterone creams can be purchased over the counter and online. I don’t think testosterone creams or gels can be purchased without a prescription though which is really a shame.
