Hi Everyone, I'm ftm, 45years old, been on all sorts of testosterone for about 17 years and still not happy with the levels as they are forever changing so am looking for other ftm etc who've got experience in this to share information. I'm happy to share experiences etc with anyone who needs anything also ?

Welcome Tom.  Hopefully some of our FTM members will check in with you.  HRT is sometimes difficult but hopefully you are working with a doctor who has experience.  I've been fortunate to have my blood levels checked regularly.

 

Hugs,

Hello Tom and welcome.  I would also suggest connecting with a doctor who is knowledgeable about HRT as your levels should be able to be managed effectively.  We have a good number of guys here that can hopefully provide some insight.   Someone should pop into the thread soon.  

 

Cheers, Jani

Welcome to Trans Pulse, Tom.  Thanks so much for your offer to help out some of our less experienced guys.  It's always wonderful to see how the community comes together to help each other out.  We really do need experienced FtM hands here, as many of our newbie guys are young and without a lot of experience.  I'm just wondering about your T levels; has the doctor discovered why your levels are not stable?  Is there some underlying medical condition causing it?  It does happen though, even with MtF's.  My E levels went sky high a few months ago and the doc had no idea why.  She still doesn't, but the levels did drop back to near-normal again recently.  I think it might be related to my Type II diabetes, which is why I asked about underlying conditions.

 

Anyway, let us know how we can help, and we'll do our best.

 

HUGS

Thanks Charlize. Yes I've seen many drs and specialists/Endocrinologists. I really thought they would be able to help but it seems not hence why I'm trying to do my own research. I think I know what I need but just want to do a little research first. I'm interested in hearing from other guys who are taking testosterone and what type of T, how often etc and if they are happy with the results and effects etc..... is there another section I should be asking these questions etc?

Hello Tom

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

Research is always a good thing. Especially when it helps to understand more about yourself. I did shed loads on my situation to really get to know my own angels and demons.

 

It will be most interesting to hear from a 17 year veteran of your trials and tribulations.

 

I look forwald to reading your forum input.

Hi, Tom. I’m 31 and just started T two weeks ago. I give myself ___ ml intramuscular injections of testosterone cypionate once per week. I have yet to notice any changes except for a scratchy voice some days. Looking forward you the changes to come.

 

If you want, you can post in the HRT forum about this. It might be easier for others to find it there.

      It certainly could be classed as dark humor.  Unfortunately the sentiments alone must hurt young trans folks.  Decency and reality doesn't seem to be in the GOP's vocabulary.   Hugs,   Charlize

      Good morning all,    It’s a frosty morning here the lawn looks silvery, and the uncovered spring flowers have icy edges on their leaves. The only flower bed I covered was my tulips. As nice as it is here during the day, our clear wind free nights allow the temperatures to drop into the mid twenties. Here in our growing zone it’s recommended that you not plant delicate plants until Mother’s Day. Central Indiana can have snow as late as the third week of May. The birds are active at the feeders, I’ve had my cup of yoghurt and morning meds. So I’ll sit here, drink coffee and watch the as the sunrise chases the frost from the yard.    @awkward-yet-sweet I could eat black eyed peas as a side for every meal. Boil them plain or with fatback. Served as a leftover, just add in a little Rotel Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies.  Make the best of your day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Had a weird dream last night.
    • Mirrabooka
      Morning, y'all. Evening here; we had the regulation three mugs full today. Now it's time to drink something else.     No big plans here either, eldest daughter and granddaughter will be arriving on Saturday, and we will have our granddaughter to ourselves for a week after that. We still have plans though. Tuesday we'll go to the swim center, Wednesday we'll take a road trip to visit my mom, Thursday we'll get some mulch delivered to top up the gardens.   I still make other small plans on a daily basis though. The things I do plan nowadays, which is a bit new for me, is that after pinching a nerve and ending up in a bit of pain and getting some treatment from the physio, I am more motivated than ever to exercise more regularly. Tuesday for example, I went for a short (15 minute) early morning walk, went to the pool for some hydrotherapy, and mowed the lawns. Yesterday I did my exercise reps and spent some time on the exercise bike. Today, I went for a 45-minute walk, tomorrow I will do my reps again and go for a long bike ride. As long as I do at least one thing every day, right? The pleasing thing is that I'm losing weight! I blew out to above 95kg early in the year and I'm just under 91kg now. Yay me!

      What one piece of advice would you give to beginning transitioners or considering transition?

      Positive side of the mixed bag.

      Boredom is an emotional state that comes when a person has nothing to do, and is not interested in anything. To stop boredom, most people do something to occupy or amuse themselves. The first known use of the word boredom is in the novel Bleak House by Charles Dickens, written in 1852, but the saying to be a bore had been used to mean "to be tiresome or dull" since 1768. When referring to the mind, boredom is a bad state in which the person feels a deep lack of interest in what is going on around them, and where it is hard to focus.
