Nebido injection


Recommended Posts

My last nebido injection was in December 2016. My T results are still within male range, the high end of the range at that. That makes it to be about 6 months and 11 days since my last injection. 

I can't help but think something is seriously wrong. I'm thinking liver and or kidney problems and not being able to get rid of waste? 

I'm not concerned over the liver and kidneys like a normal person would be, I'm concnerned over the fact that will be the end of my transition. BEcausequite frankly I will refuse treatment for it and let it kill me if I can't continue transition.

I'n just constantly waiting for my docs to get back to me about things. I don't know what to do in the meantime while I wait.

It is so challenging because no one really KNOWS. It's  all best guess and being endocrine system is so complex and highly individual.

But they should be able to do further tests to determine if your body is using the T or not. The basic test just tells them how much is in your system but not whether your body is actually using it. And that can be affected by a wide host of things, even low calcium or vitamin D from what I've read.

IF you have a lot of T in your system it may be that you sre processing it slowly in a way normal for you. Or isn't processing it adequately and a different delivery method or other change might make all the difference. But I don't think high levels are associated with not eliminating it as much as not using it.

II hope you find your answers Flint. I know it's been a long hard road for you

Thaks for response.

Been stressing out over it.

I dunno. When I was on the gel on a VERY low dose (A low dose of gel they give to women!) and my T skyrocketed out of male range..... I didn't get much change on the gel, however. I then changed to injections at first sustanon and I seemed to become low on testosterone very quickly with that injection. Then went onto nibedo. Nibedo is the one i've seen the most changes in, facial hair, chest hair etc. it's hard to know if it's having 'any more' changes in line with the changes that have already happened so it's hard to know if i'm processing it or not. If I wasn't using the T, wouldn't my periods come back?

If you are seeing those changes then your body is using at least some of it. And yes, your periods would return. Also what is considered high varies from person to person. I saw a post in a group recently where a guy's Dr set their ideal level at exactly twice what my Dr considers max safe level.

I also noticed that how active I am and how much I weigh makes a difference in my serum T levels.

Hopefully your Dr can figure it out and recognizes the importance of continuing the transition to your health as well.

I am hesitant to say this, as I have a very severe case of superstition when it comes to actually saying things (if it's positive) and the idea it will jinx it........

But so far I haven't returned to having periods.... I can only hope that continues.

      I'm thinking about some interactions yesterday I did, while presenting as male but acting as female, that were far better than I did when I was presenting as male and acting as male.  #girlunderhood. I do a crappy job at acting as male and I am giving it up.  I am not talking about feminine gestures or presentation but just relating as a woman.  People don't realize I am doing it but it is a whole lot easier to do.   You don't just put on a dress and BOOM you are a girl.  You are a girl and you put on a dress.  Or not. Whether I am in jeans or a skirt (I wish, wife would have lots to say) I am a girl.  I don't need $250 in makeup and heels and hose and all that.  I don't need surgery. Honey, I have arrived.  Now I have to work out how that best works in my life, causing the minimal damage and creating the maximum good, but I have more working room.   Oh, and I am still pissed off at everyone and everything. #Contradictory.

      @Willow it is certainly possible that my husband planned it. Placing me in the path of an opportunity....he certainly does things like that. GF has done some work for the company as an outside consultant, so I'm sure the company owner knows what potential resources are around.    It could also have just happened randomly. He has taken me to work with him before, just because he likes to have me around. I remember one time that I fell asleep with my head in his lap, and he held a meeting with his subordinates without waking me and making me move.  The company culture is family oriented and relaxed.

      The photo is great.  Software is phenomenal but it also is sort of a promise of things to come. Years ago this sort of thing took a photographer and Photoshop and all sorts of things and you would say, "I can look like THIS??"   Me, I am a duck.  That's from my driver's license.  Just kidding.

      I lucked into that picture. I took like 10 before that, which appropriately make me look like a donkey. ;)   Thank you so much for the compliment!

      This is a great analogy. The statement is true as it relates to the tree. The analogy fits because we as a LGBTQIA community are stronger when we stand together. It also work here on Transgender Pulse Forums. The support I feel from so many others has made me comfortable with my stance, because I'm in a beautiful forest of friends. So when I'm out alone and confronted. I can respond and act like the single tree in the field, surviving whatever comes my way. My roots reach back and communicate with others like me.    Standing Strong,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Mindy, that would be so awesome of you.  Please make the edit for me, and thank you so much!

      M.   The term bigender works for me because after taking the time to explore my feelings, I kept coming to the same conclusion, that while I felt an overpowering need to express my inner woman, I also enjoyed being a man.  I realized that my personality was equal parts man and woman and to be happy and fulfilled, I needed to express both sides.  There are challenges living a life of two-gender expression, but I'll expand on some of those in future posts.     Hugs,   Sally

      Sally, a moderator can edit the post adding "Post 3" if you would like. Let me know and I'll be glad to take care of it. That way your numbering system is in tact.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I thought Hey, I can't be experiencing Gender destroyer because it doesn't fit the narrative, but Hey I can. I am experiencing mild discomfort in relation to my gender. Because and that can be a form of mild form of it this forum because their elements of my gender that are out of alignment with my sign gender at birth. There are elements of my gender I have been holding back on some I did not even know for fear it did not fit was told was not very manly or in some other way not correct for someone who is an amab. I tried embracing and expressing some of these parts of me even for just a little bit every once in a while and it feels like a relief to me like a weight has been lifted.
