### Blood tests
19
This provider (one is the english page the other the dutch one) provides a bunch of blood tests. You order the tests, pay a good chunk of money (around 100€ for Estradiol and Testosterone) and receive an empty vial and a referral to a local blood collection point (usually a GP).

You bring this test kit to the place they tell you and show them the referral, they will take your blood and you throw it in a mailbox **that is emptied same day**.

If you already have a doctor, it is worth asking them to order a blood test for you, even if they may not be able to interpret it.

- Buying HRT: Only order from sources that ship from within the EU or Turkey to avoid your shipments getting caught by customs

### Injection supplies
36
Generally, if you do subcutaneous (in fat layer) estrogen injections, you will need sterile alcohol 70% alcohol wipes, syringes (with needles) and some container to store your used needles.
37
38
Insulin needles are most commonly used, as they have a fixed, thin needle and are very easy to use.
39
40
You can get a dedicated sharps container or use a sturdy water bottle for example.
41
42
Make sure to buy **medical** supplies! Not every syringe is sterile and made for medical use. DO NOT buy from Amazon, buy from medical supplies shops such as:
