starting this week and then every 2 weeks as i understand it.
He initially wrote my Rx for 6 weeks, but then my insurance co. covers rx for 30 days at a time
So he re-prescribed my Rx; when i go pick these up on Saturday, i'll see if he changed the dosage every 2 weeks
bear with, i'm new at this.

Where are you in your transition? Got my first injection today 100mg
How long have you been on T? 2 hours LOL
How much T do you take on a bi weekly or monthly basis? It's gonna be 100mg for a while
How does your body react to your shot intake? So far so good
Are you pre or post op top and or bottom? Pre-op. Was going to do top surgery first, but won't have funds until early next year.

Where and Who did your surgeries? Help others out. If you have questions, ask them here. I'm pretty sure I'll be using Brownstein in SF

I'm 58 years old and have been thinking about this day for over 20 years. My mom had a heart attack in March, and a quadruple bypass. My step dad of nearly 50 years died 25 days later of complications from a heart valve replacement... These two events left me wondering this.... "when is it MY time?" I decided then and there, IT'S NOW!

There ya have it.

added: I meant..... "when is it MY time to LIVE for ME". Just wanted to clarify that

Good Evening Guys. Today I turned yet another page. Today my gender marker was legally changed to male. I am now legally a male. On the inside I do not feel very different.

In an instant I knew that somehow I had walked through the "Looking Glass." I know that now I cannot be denied with legal sanction the many human rights that were systematically denied to me before I "transitioned." For me, I am still a butch/transman. The only thing that has changed is now the law must give me full and equall access to human rights. The right to marry who I choose. The right to love the woman I choose to love and be treated with the dignity that should be afforded to all.

My Queer identity has not changed. For me, I know the person I was born, the form that my body took was not and is not a mistake. In fact, my life has served to make me a strong, insightful, compassionate human being.

Because I have crossed that "perceived" gender line, I believe I have a greater responsibility than before to expose and erradicate sexism, patriarchy, and homo/trans phobia. I am not some saint, I am a human that realizes my life, my experience can be part of something bigger then my own immediate needs and navel gazing. I wish all of you, the very best in your journey.

Congratulations Greyson. Great post—I wish you nothing but continued happiness.

Walmart has fucked up the Rx sending me home with the wrong .gauge. This makes me..................

Jet · 06-09-2010, 10:26 PM

A nurse friend of mine told me to put ice on the area until its numb, swab it will alcohol and then inject. Pretty helpful.

Right on TD. Let us know how things are going for you. I recently started T as well, so now there's Jet, me and you starting about the same time. It kind of feels good to know I am not the only one.

Sam · 06-05-2010, 11:43 AM

TD thats great news. keep your spirits up

Greyson, i cant wait til my letter comes in from the state of MD so i can change my DL, good luck to you!

theoddz · 06-05-2010, 12:32 PM

I'm now awaiting my new, amended birth certificate from the State of Florida with my legal name and gender marker change.

It wasn't long ago that Florida was one of the states that absolutely would not change a gender marker and only a year ago it began amending a birth certificate for a legal name change with a court order from a NON Florida court.

Time changes all things, I guess, and this time it's for the better.

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)
