Hey @rivai
I think there are schemes to access testosterone for a cheaper price. For one, if you qualify for a low-income health care card, the prescription is around $7 for each injection. Each injection last around 10-12+ weeks depending on how your body processes it. The biggest cost is the endocrinology and psychiatric appointments. There are a few bulk billing endocrinologists but there tend not to be bulk billing psychiatrists.
In terms of your parents figuring it out, there are changes with testosterone that are pretty obvious. For example, your voice will drop noticeably after a few months. Most of the treatment rebates go through Medicare so if you have a separate Medicare account it is possible to get treatments without them knowing. However, if your parents are unsupportive, I can only really recommend starting testosterone when you are independent. It’s very hard to take testosterone stealthily.
