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.

      Here is space for discussion on this, since the topic is large and could derail another thread SOMEBODY started.   Could some dear, sweet, kind Moderator pull everything related to this from the Voting for Trump thread and put it here?  I don't know if you can do that; I am the new girl on the block after all (blinks sweetly).

      I will have arrived when I have a b*tch certificate of my own.  I think someone called me one once.

      Good morning everyone,   It’s Thursday well as least I took my Thursday Medications as sorted out in my weekly dispensary caddy. Today’s coffee is Folgers Breakfast Blend served HOT, black and strong. My wife and I are going to explore the Western and Southern coasts of Saginaw Bay and hang out in Bay City, MI. today.    @Willowonce @Abigail Genevievepointed out the word usage in your post. I read it and laughed, enjoying the snarky tone of the comment. Since it was spelled correctly I thought maybe you meant for it to read just as you typed it. Then the kinder gentler me thought it would be better if I changed it. I’m not saying I corrected it, I just changed the severity of the sentence.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Things are moving quickly now that I have my drivers license and social security card in my new name. It was really affirming when I got my first paycheck in my new name.

      Amazingly I have found many cis women are absolutely wrong in their assumptions about bra fittings. I knew an elderly lady that said, "I have been a C cup since school, I just buy a bigger band size as my breasts grow." This is completely WRONG as the band should always fit snug with they gore firmly against the chest.    One of CNA's came into Torrid and I helped her pick out a new bra. She didn't even understand band size was inches and cups/band combo were based off Victorian shirt sizes.  She said, "how do you know so much?"   We found her proper fitting band size, then found a cup she fit.    How can people that take the vast majority of bra users know so little about them? Seems most cis women just use "try it on" only.

      As has been said many times, this is not a black and white issue. Sure.  I get it that a MtF person that has gone through full male puberty and "transitioned" 6 months ago probably has an advantage in some sports.  But these bans affect elementary school kids too. I mean, banning trans women from Darts?  Chess?
