I hope you get a re-fill soon and can get back to feeling better!

Did he do intra-muscular? Shot directly into the thigh? Men sometimes avoid their shots if that is their vehicle of administration of hormone due to the pain.

I do mine subcutaneous (people call it, subq), small needle into belly fat, every 7 days. It is taking some areas of the U.S. longer than others to catch up to using this vehicle of administration for testosterone. I never miss my shot as I know that it keeps me steady. My mental health has never been so good since I started taking testosterone. Which makes sense of course.....if I don't manufacture the right hormones, finally getting the right hormones into my body, would certainly make my quality of life better, now wouldn't it!

Nadeest, I can't recall if I asked you this before, but did you get stuck in the estradiol shortage issue? I know many women that had to switch to pills during this shortage, and don't like them. They plan to switch back to shot as soon as possible.

Dapper, Yes, that is his method. He always had a hard time getting his head there to do it. I don't blame him.

No, I am on premarin, and before that, on estradiol. Both were and are administered as pills, except for a short time when I was on an estrogen patch. The patches didn't work well for me, so I talked to my doctor and went back to pills.

Hormone Question: How does one prevent T from converting to estrogen?

Also, I have a problem. In the community where we are living now, cannot find a doc to rx my T. New primary care MD informed me she doesn't do gender "transformation."

Last doc gave inservices to the area Planned Parenthood clinics, but when I called they said, "we don't do that here." Wish she hadn't moved out of state.

Seems the nearest hope is 1.5 hours away without a car. Anyone know of a telemedicine practice that may be helpful?
