Hypothyroidism

freakygems wrote in ftm Aug 03, 2016 16:56

About two years ago I posted the following about being diagnosed with an underactive thyroid and being on a low-dose of T.

Well I am back after a year of more tests and results, and I am seeking other people with hypothyroidism to connect with. I've made an update on my personal blog to explain where I am up to ( Read more... )

That 'time' of the month

I've been on a low-dose of T for over 2.5yrs and stopped getting a monthly menstrual cycle after three-moths of being on T. I've occasionally had period-like cramps, especially when I've been late or missed my next shot of T. I was also diagnosed with an underactive Thyroid at the same time, which may or may not be of relevance.

Stopping Testosterone

So, I've been taking testosterone for almost 4 months now. I've been mostly pretty happy on it- my energy levels have been pretty good, I've been getting out of the house more. My therapist has said I've made a huge improvement over the last 2 years since I started seeing him. My voice has lowered super-duper quick (from an alto almost to a ( Read more... )

Can't find any information on this-everything that comes up on Google is steroid websites. What's the lowest effective dose of T?

Edit: :/ Mmkay then. Does anybody know what it'd be for someone with the average sensitivity to T and average amount of androgen receptors and stuff?

Also, does dose depend on which form of T you're taking? Like, whether ( Read more... )

Lower starting T dose

So I finally got my T and I'm being started on 140mg every two weeks. Her reasoning is the fact that I am a small guy (5'1, 100lbs) and I was wondering if any other smaller guys got started on something like this. What were your results? Did you have to go up in dose?

I haven't been on here in ages - I've been proccupied (work, r'ships, commitments etc). I am back because I've started seeing a psyc about wanting to start T, it's been four sessions but we're going round in circles.

She thinks I would be better suited by voice training, a breast reduction and trying to dress and present more as male.
