HRT SCIENCE
So going through some HRT supply issues with my GP, i decided to take the advantage to do a little bit of self-guinea pig testing.
Using estradot patches (brand of estradiol hemihydrate patches) that were 14 months past their displayed sell by date for a blood test.
Result came back exactly the same as last year when using in date patches.
704 pmol last year
706 pmol this year

@siege@masto.hackers.town They're fairly shelf-stable, unless exposed to extreme temperatures, substantial ionising radiation, or something that can eat through the innermost wrapper.
