I've been trying to use HRTcafe for DIY estrogen, t blockers, and progesterone. But there's so many different brands and types and I don't know what anything is. Can anyone give me some recommendations on what to get?

Honestly, browse Reddit forums for experiences from other Trans folks. We have a huge wealth of info on there.

If you're just starting out you don't need prog yet. I'd recommend estradiol enanthate/cypionate injection monotherapy (no t blocker) from either open gate labs or astrovials, I've had success ordering from both.

estrogen cypionate IM injections, opengate labs is my recommendation! You can get syringes, needles, and alcohol wipes from amazon or other online vendors, good luck!

If you have questions about my reasoning on any of these recommendations please feel free to ask! These aren't just random suggestions, there's a justification for everything I've said.

No no I was on it for 1.5-2 years but then gender affirming care became restricted in my state

Oh in that case maybe you do want prog. 100 mg, daily or every other day, either oral or rectally as a suppository
