FTM's and Transitioning

I swear I'm not trying to be funny...but does he deal with a lot of trans people? LGB issues are not at all the same as trans issues.

And chest surgery wouldn't really have anything to do with it.

And again, I'm no doctor or anything, but I've never heard of anyone having a dosage that high. If the dosage is too high, it's just going to revert to estrogen.

If by 'all of that', you mean you don't need a hysto...I assume you're not producing estrogen anymore (am I correct in that assumption?)...which means you're not combatting estrogen...which would mean your dosage would actually be lower than, say, a 20 year old's (or anyone combatting estrogen).

Again, I'm not trying to be difficult, I'm just wondering why your dosage is so high.

Dylan, he deals with gays and transpeople. I don't have an answer for you other than I'm fortunate to have met him and have him as my doc. Ill ask him when I see him. I'm just glad the show's on the road. And all of that means "all of that."

It seems everything changed for me when I turned 50. i looked different, no monthly cycles. it was like my whole person changed, I should post pics in here to show you...it blew my friends' minds back home. lol

Actually I held a gun to his head and said, 2cc's now or I'll blow your head clean off with this here .44 magnum the most powerful had gun in the world.

I don't get the humor of the last sentence, Jet (I'm assuming it was humor)

'Cuz even if you did literally request a ridiculously high dosage, you'd only be hurting yourself, as you won't see any results at all...you might even get your period back...as all of that extra estrogen would/could set your ovaries into overdrive

I'm sorry, I'm not getting the humor.

And just to avoid any confusion (because sometimes I get confused by the metric system)...so when you fill your syringe, you actually pull out T until you hit the 2 on the syringe?

'Cuz if you're talking a 200 milligram dosage every 2 weeks, that would make more sense to me than 2 cc, and I could see where the misunderstanding (on my part) occurred.

'its mistyped on my part, its 2ml as opposed 1ml which is what he gave me first. I'm supposed to take 2ml every 2 weeks. it surprised me that we jumped to that this week.

[Jet]

There are no noticable changes and he said they it would be gradual.

Hi everyone,

I'm wanting to reconnect with this thread, and other guys, to learn more about what you've all experienced with various things about your transitions (T injections, surgery etc). I had begun seeing a doctor before I had surgery 3 weeks ago (gallbladder), about beginning to transition and now that I'm on My way to a full recovery I will be calling him again to set up a new appointment so that I can get the ball rolling
