#Testosterone

Lowkey a little unfair that estrogen makes your hair thicker and your skin nice and you get cool and pretty and then testosterone does the fucking opposite like what did I do to the chemical biology of humans.

anyone else on t get crazy horny the day after they do their shot and then sex averse the rest of the time?

hormones are weird

Open wide pal I’m going get there

I’m starting testosterone Saturday I’m fucking tweaking out I’m so excited. Oh my God I just had my appointment today at a planned parenthood, had the sweetest nurse ever, such a pleasant experience. They gave me needles and my prescription should be in by Friday. Oh my god I’m like, buzzing

Does anyone who takes testosterone hrt know how long it takes for your sex drive to normal out I swear to gawd I’m gonna get carpal tunnel again and it’s already fucking up my sleep schedule

2021 pre testosterone - 2026 2 ½ years on HRT

I’m going back on T in two days and I am already so worked up all the time. This will be such a ride 🥴

Got “sir’d” today. Must be all that first-week-of-testosterone confidence?

12 years and 15 days post-op.

something curious ive found after going on T is that I can cry easier now, though ive heard the opposite effect many of times. my emotional regulation also got better after T and I can experience a wider range of emotions at a easier to handle level

PSA - this post isn’t meant to discourage anyone awaiting to transition, everyone’s journey is different and my feelings regarding my transition shouldn’t impact yours; im just posting in the hopes someone will relate/feel less alone.

i’ve been on testosterone for a year now and i still feel so far away. so far away from my male peers, from my goals, from my own body.

i’ve always felt this sort of disembodiment and i thought that with time and transition it would fade away but it’s growing stronger and im so FED UP with it.

i know gender is abstract and in a way slippery but i wish i could grasp even a crumb of constant and confidence in my identity without needing to have surgeries or hormones, i wish i could have the strength to be me with the body i was given.

btw stocking up on t on a script just means refilling on the day your vial expires, rather than waiting until you’ve finished it. I can only speak for the 10ml cypionate vials, but I have a relatively high dose at 0.75ml/every 5 days, but if I refill on the 28 day mark (which is the official expiry on my vial) they will overlap by about 1/3. this habit has helped me and my fiancé build a small stockpile, share with someone in need, and never miss a shot, even when there are shortages that stretch on for months. so tldr if your medication is a controlled substance keep an eye on the official expiry date and make the most of your refills.

always check your vial is clear, no sediment or crystallization, store it at room temperature and warm it to body temp before injecting. happy HRT trails out there 💚💚

Everyone talks about not being able to cry on testosterone, dude I wish.

Instead, I’m this weird little guy who starts sniffling when his boss criticizes him, but at least I have a little facial hair, even if it’s blond

I told the two people I’m closest to that “testosterone can increase libido” and BOTH of fucken looked at me in concern and said, and I quote, “oh no”

The worst part?

I’m have never even held the hand of another person

one year on t💉

Took my first dose of testosterone today and I am going to be 35 in May.

I’m afraid because … it’s scary to do these things. I’m worried, a lot, about the social consequences.

I feel guilty because maybe it should have been a bigger struggle; there are other big things happening in my life, and is everything moving too quickly? All of it makes me feel afraid about being accepted, supported, and derided. But, also, I’m willing to risk it.

I have a desire & the means, though. So, here I go.

It’s a marijuana suppository kinda day ✨️

been doing press ups and eating eggs

trans goals i guess

it’s so annoying that HRT take months to acc start seeing effects off it, im so scared that my body is just converting it back into estrogen or i’m allergic and i wouldn’t even know cause effects i would see haven’t taken place yet, YET you get a blood test every 6 months to check your levels???? it’s acc stressing me out so much, i wish it wasn’t so difficult and long to acc gain the effects of T

would it even be that bad if i took a 20mg/ml microdose of T starting this summer. would it even be that bad would anyone even know. what if it saves my life but what if it ruins it what if my parents find out
