So I got my testosterone today and it only took an hour to manage to take the stuff after I got home. Wasn't bad, barely felt it in fact, pretty well a non-issue other than the fear of actually inserting the needle into my body. My doctor was really funny when she prescribed it, asking me little questions to see how much research I've done. It's like lady, I've been researching this junk on the internet for 10 years and living as male for about as long, I probably know more than you do. Course I just went with it. I did find a place in town that does compounding so even locally it's only costing me about $60 for syringes and a 10cc vial which lasts for months (I'm on a low dose of 100mg every 2 weeks to start, I'll probably ask to step it up to 200mg every two weeks at my next appointment if the doctor is cool with it). It's nice, I'm ready this time, not like living some random on the road life where I had no idea if I could stay on or off for long. I can really keep on the path I need to be on and feel right again. So fucking excited.
And yeah I know for all you transguys this is old hat but let me be a little bit stoked and annoying for a few months at least. I have more to say but right now I'm just in OMG I'm on testosterone energy. Maybe later, I'd like to keep some sort of log of changes as they occur here at the very least.
testosterone,
the trans,
the future
