So, mfrazercani lost his job right as my first vial of testosterone ran out, and we didn't have the money to replace it. Through my local pharmacy, with insurance, it costs $100. I thought I had another week to deal with it, but had a bit less than I thought. So when I did my last shot I only had .4 mL instead of the .6 mL I was supposed to have. And now ( Read more... )

So, after two months of feeling like absolutely nothing's happening, transition-wise, my shot last night seems to have kicked a couple more changes into gear - and/or I'm finally noticing some gradual ones.

So, on the advice of my therapist, I talked to my doctor about getting on a low dose of testosterone in order to restore some sexual functioning until I get a chance to see the endocrinologist. He prescribed me our best guess at the dosage typical for female sexual dysfunction (it's an off-label use), based on a note in my file from my ( Read more... )

So I've been on HRT - a female proportion of oestrogen and testosterone - since January, when I had my hysto. I've adjusted the dose up or down a couple of times as needed for sexual function or everything-else function, but mostly it seemed to be working pretty good.
