Not Starting T Immediately

[thaddeusdagan]

So, after talking to mfrazercani tonight about starting T, he asked for a compromise. I will go in tomorrow, get my first shot, and find out how to do it. That gets me set up to start and also lets us know what kind of immediate mental and emotional effects it has without (most likely) any permanent physical effects starting. After that, though, I will wait until the end of July - when my appointment was supposed to happen - to actually start taking it regularly. This will give him time to come to terms with the fact that the changes are coming. In the meantime I'll continue on the low dose of topical testosterone I'm currently using to see if that's enough. He said that I could just start the injections at the end of July, but I asked that at that point we reevaluate to determine how we both feel emotionally.

I think this is a good compromise. If it were just me, would I want to start tomorrow? Of course. And if it were just him, would he want me to not start T at all? Of course. But since being together is important to both of us, I think this is something we can both live with.
