Worried about shark week problem

[Kreuzfidel]

Hey, guys.  I'm worried a bit about what's going on with my shark week since starting T at the end of January.  I'm getting the monthly visitor every 2 weeks now.  How long is this likely to last and at what point do I talk to my GP about it if it doesn't stop?  My dysphoria is nuts with getting my period so often, but I'm trying to be patient since it's still early stages.  I know we're not allowed to talk actual dosages, but without revealing the actual dose, my GP has me on the standard mg injection every 3 weeks (testosterone enanthate).

Having same problem :/

I felt much the same about shark week. I started on a very low dose of T and it took five months before it stopped. The fourth month was very short, and the fifth was very short and very light. Everyone is different though so hopefully yours will be much quicker.

Thanks, guys.  That makes me feel a bit better.

Kreuzfidel and Geek is the length and amount the same as before or are both decreasing?  I will want mine to stop ASAP once I start T.  To be rid of the mess and tampons will be so nice.

Pre-T, it never lasted more than 3 days - heavy the 1st day, then barely anything.  Since T, it's heavier and goes for about 5 days   However when I made this post, I had just gotten bleeding and bad cramps.  That was last night.  Today, just nothing :/

Mine got more frequent before ceasing.  I started T early last April, and had 3 irregular shark weeks after that (varied length and severity), then I had my last one two weeks after the previous one in mid-June, and nothing since.  I think it's common to have things go haywire before system shutdown.

Kruez! I too had short ones before t

I only started... Testosterone Just shy of 3 weeks ago :/

I had my last pre t shark week (it finished two days before shot) lasted my usual four days

Had t shot - got shark week five days later, lasted a week, had four days off got it again

Stupid non behaving body

Mine were always irregular- spotted in between, so it stayed that way while on T. I got the rag like what was normal for me for like 7 months. My first endo had me on a very low dose and I was getting injections at my doctors office. Then one day they didnt want to do it cause my mom wasnt with me even tho I had been doing it there. So I got some syringes and did it myself. Don't ever do this: but I just kinda increased the dose gradually.

He wanted to up it a little every 3 months at that rate Id still be raggin. He got angry about it and sent me to another endo, who was fine with the dose I set for myself. I increased it 8 times that of the dose my first endo prescribed. But once I upped it my periods stopped. I just increased a little if I got the rag, then I'd increase, and did this over and over untill I got the dose that made it stop...but don't so this because generally your endo will know whats right for your body.

Slightly OT... ive been super regular for years now (sadly still pre t) and I'm having shoulder surgery in a couple weeks. I realized the other day that shark week and surgery week will probably be the sametime. My overactive imagination has decided that it will probably start while I'm on the operating table or sometime equally horrible.   Mostly I'm freaking out about having to deal with tampons and all that crap with my dominate arm in a sling while recovering. On top of all the usual sharkweek dysphoria.  Thats my sharkweek problem. Sorry it was kind of random.
