Hi Guys,

Now I have your attention... No I am not giving up my place in the Sisterhood by becoming FTM..

I am updating the HRT section in the wiki and would like your input on FTM HRT regimes.

I am fine with Estrogen and Anti-Androgen therapy, but my knowledge of T is not great and I would like some starting points to continue my research before I write the section in terms of types of drugs available, how administered and frequency etc.


If you would like to help. Please PM me at buffy@susans.org... I DO NOT want any T related info to be posted here.

Thanks in advance...

What do you want to know? Be specific. I like specifics.

Type of drugs, form and frequency of use.

Available in pill, cream, gel, injection, patch or timed release capsule under the skin. The latter is rare. Most common is injection.

Cream or gel is used daily and care has to be taken to make sure it doesn't rub off on other people or pets. Patch is also put on daily.

Injection frequency is usually every 7 days, 10 days, or 14 days. It's intramuscular. It's suspended in either cottonseed oil or sesame oil. It's very thick to inject. Injection is cheapest and some say most effective in rapid masculinization, but that's controversial. It's usually injected in a large muscle.

Some use the cream or gel on the genitals and claim that it increases size, although that too is unproven.

That's basically all I know. I'm on injections, weekly.

What I heard from my doctor is that FTMs usually go with injections, because they are the most cost effective method and the other ways can cost thousands of dollars.

By the way Becky, why does your cat need testosterone? ;)

She is fed up getting beat up by her brother, who is bigger, stronger and a darn sight meaner!

She wants to be a FTM (Feline to Male) Cat.... and says she is fed up sitting down to pee while her brother just sprays everywhere.

She is disgusted by having to wear a pink diamante collar, while her brother only has an identity tag on a piece of string.

She also thinks having to wait while her brother gets first go at the food and toys is sexist!

Why the hell did I become a woman!

What Dennis above has said is entirely true. Personally I'll look into how it is overseas, namely in the UK on the NHS.

If you need info as to what T actually does, the changes it causes, please let me know :)

Okay.
To me the major lack of info is the information on different Ftm body types.
Female bodies differ more than male bodies.
Most literature and websites on FtMs assume the FtM is a small slender individual.
The reason I ask so many questions about T is because I have researched for months and still can find no info on how T will affect my body.
All FtMs with websites and T diaries are small people.
The concept of "fat distribution" is much scarier to a 230lb Ftm than a smaller one.
I mean, how will this affect a large person?
The only information I can find says "fat distribution" will occur.
It says that "fat will move from the hips and behind to the stomach"
but what if the FtM already has that problem?
So basically it tells me I will have more of a problem than i do now?
Not very uplifting or encouraging information.
Female bodies are diverse.
I would feel so much better could I see an FtM with my body type having undergone T.
Every example I have seen is of a slender white FTM.
I wish there could be a resource that included Ftms of every race, age and body type.
Impossible feat, I know.
But still I can hope, because right now, i have no clue what T will do to me.
All the info i have to go on is after pics of slender 140lb Ftms, which they look good, but it gives me no information on how I'd turn out.
I mean, this is a major physical change.
If i could only have some idea how T would affect me.
The "list' of changes means little.
T will rearrange my entire body.
I want to know what it will do.
Impossible feat, but I can still hope.
Thanks for listening.
There is no info on this, so you won't find it, dear Buffy, but thanks for listening.

Thanks Tinkerbell..

I have had quite a few PM's and comments since I used this photo.

I like to change my Avatars weekly and this photo was taken 15 years ago, 8 years pre-transition and shows me ih a happy time of my life, with my eldest son, Matthew.

People say I was a cute guy, but I never could get along with him, in fact he drove me mad and made me very depressed at times.

I thought it might be good for the pre-op MTF's to see, as dreams CAN come true, if you work hard and want something so badly, it becomes your sole aim in life.

The guy left 6 years ago now and the woman who replaced him is a far happier, confident and loving person, then he ever was.

Nero, as far as heavier body types, there are a lot of examples of heavier FtMs around, like on Transster. Basically, it's not going to redistribute all your body fat to your stomach, just some. Have a look at heavy guys. Most also have heavy thighs, butt, and face, but they have larger stomachs than heavy women.

Nobody can predict 100% what T is going to do to a particular body, but there are generalizations available.
