FTM's and Transitioning

The Oopster · 06-01-2010, 08:25 PM

Take the front part of your upper thigh and split it in half.... i was taught to do it in the outer front half up close to where your underwear briefs would end. There are less veins up there and out there and I find it rarely hurts at all unless i hit a vein by chance. Otherwise i rarely have any soreness. If I do it down too far or in too far i tend to hit a vein or have soreness. I have no explanation to why but for some reason if I do get a lump it's on my left side ... no clue why on the left and not on the right. sometimes it itches too. But never on the right.

I use to give myself b-12 shots all the time further down always had soreness and problems with veins and when I was showed how to do T shots the dr said the trick was to do it in the area i described.

If i'm doing them every week i alternate sides. Now that i'm doing them every 10 days i'm just doing them on the right since that seems to be my easy side

Ya. I second Oopster's comments. I think it could be related to preferential leg as well as fat distribution (you have more fat on the upper thigh).

here's what he told me last week:

Use the zig zag method on injections. (now I have to call him again; I forgot it) LOL
He injected it in my thigh. Hurtful little bastard.
He started me very slow (100cc) so it won't affect the heart.
Injection is the strongest available method
And injecting the T instead of using oral bypasses the liver.

He also said creams and orals won't deliver, they're too mild. (Hey, this is what he told me.)

I pick 200cc this weekend to administer every other week TFN

Libido will skyrocket
Moods will swing
These are temporary.
I could get acne and baldness if I'm predisposed.

He said, "are you ready for your first injection?"
I said, "hit me."

If anyone every needs it I could send ya a copy of the letter I sent my family. It would have to be as a pdf file since my computer was stolen and i'm too lazy to retype the thing. But I could easily scan the copy I saved for myself.

My family was mixed. Brother disowned me, but didn't surprise me. Hardest part has been no contact with my nephews. The youngest just turned 18 but has one more year at home since he was held back. Once he graduates I'm going to send him and his brother a bried note with birthday/graduation/christmas money and let them make their own decisions. Won't go into anything deep within them just let them know that they get to make their own decision and if they ever want to talk about it I'm here and even if they chose not to have me in their life at this time the door is always open.

Parents are better then I thought. It's not a huge topic of discussion and they live 1000 miles away. However I haven't gone home. Sometimes I'd like to but I guess I just don''t want to put them in an uncomfortable situation.

I'm glad you corrected your typo. I was having a good chuckle to myself over the idea of you trying to inject a nearly a full CUP of liquid. Cuz, you know, 200cc = 200ml = nearly a cup. (240-ish ml in a cup)
