There's an app I've been using on my phone to manage my HRT regime for quite a while now, it's called Mona. Free and open source (as all the apps I recommend are), for me personally invaluable, quite easy to use...and yeah, it's pretty too ๐
It helps me in the following ways:
- I get reminders for my E injections, daily cypro dose and my daily prog boofage (:3)
- All intakes are recorded, so I can see when and where (in which thigh) I took my injection on a certain day. Injection spot rotation is important!
- It lets you manage your supplies. This means that you set the number of, for example prog capsules or milliliters of E oil you have (and which ester). Then, with every scheduled use (every time you mark a reminder as "taken"), the number of those you have in stock decreases by the dose you took.
This is a godsend for me, as I have 3 different medications to worry about. - There's a graph view, which shows a (very inaccurate) graph of your current E levels. It really is just an estimate, I don't rely on it.
The cool thing is, you can add blood tests you've had done and they appear on the graph! So you see a dot above (or below) the levels estimated by the app. Pretty neat! - There are tons of options on when to get reminders, so when I was switching from weekly injections to once every 3 and 4 days to every 3 days, the app helped me a lot!
- I personally like the appearance. It's Material You, I think, but on my phone, it's a pretty shade of pink. The design is really nice and appealing. I particularly like the overview of reminders for today (the main page of the app).
I'm gloating about the HRT app I use, totally! But...I genuinely do find it useful. And what do I know, you might too. So, maybe give it a try. It's free and open source, doesn't cost anything and it's all local, so no data is being shared with anyone. It's kinda neat! :3
Homepage (reminders for current day)
Yeah, I didn't take my cypro today...oh well. Cypro is so strong, it doesn't make a difference. Also, I have easily monotherapy E levels, so doesn't matter anyway :P
Intake history
I really appreciate having a history of my past intakes. It helps my OCD, lol
Levels (with graph view)
These are NOT my levels (I'd probably be dead with these), it's a placeholder blood test. I wanted to get the time and date correct, so I put in placeholder E and T values. I'm getting the results tomorrow, so I can fill in the actual numbers.
Supply stock management
And this feature is so nice, omfg! Stock management is one of the best features of this app. Being able to see at a glance how much of each medication I have crammed in my cabinet is a lifesaver!
Teag you heathen! ๐ญ
