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.

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

I wonder if now (because it's easier to get a passport), it will be easier to get your social changed over too

That Would Be Nice,
Dylan...can't wait to get a passport

This had me thinking. here in the state of md to get the F changed to M on the DL all you need is 3 letters, therapist, t doc and my own. the DMV ok's it and sends you back your paperwork,

when i asked about getting my birth certificate ammeded, they said that really didnt matter.

Im orig from NYS and i will try after i change my DL to get them to reissue me a new birth certificate.

Anyone else get it changed from f to m?

Dylan wants a passport, are you leaving the US? or for ID purposes?

This is a good online pamphlet about T therapy for FtMs. It may answer some questions some of the guys here might have about T and what to reasonably expect from it.

There's an old song by James Brown called "That About Dood It"

Gave myself my first injection (took a stab at it, no pun intended) and it made it stick (no pun intended). And that about dood it.

I'm right proud of myself today.
