Does taking birth control pills affect testerone pills?

[Canl]

I am currently on birth control pills because of my menstruation pains and I was wondering if I am allowed to take testerone pills? I know I'll probably have to stop my birth control pills right? Has anybody ever took birth control pills and then testerone pills after? I don't like taking birth control pills since I'm adding female hormones into my body when I feel like a guy but I have to because of my pains.

Your doctor would know but there are guys who have taken depo-provera birth control and T shots at the same time for months at a time starting out.

I don't think so..I'm not hundred percent certain though. I know when I started T, I was just coming off my birth control pills. The doctor told me if I was to have sperm to egg sex, to continue using birth control cause you can still get pregnant even though your on T. The doctor would probly just have to change the doses around that you take for the T. I would talk to the doctor about it.

Asking your endo is probably the best thing to do. I take progesteronepills (birthcontrol without estrogens) and take them continuously since I started T. So I do think it is possible if you ask about it.

Is there such a thing as testosterone pills?  I know about Gels and Injectibles, and even buccal troches, which you use like a snuff pouch.  I have never heard of testosterone pills.

There are but they aren't prescribed in most places because they are horrible on your liver.  The only places I've heard them prescribed are places where trans health care is very poor and almost non-existent.
