I usually got my period around the end of the month, between the 20th-28th, something like that, i didnt really keep track.

I know that no one can really answer this question, because it all depends on the person.

I started T september 20th, and a day or 2 after starting I got my period, lasted a day or two longer then normal.

I am on a 'high' dose of T, I am not on the dose where it starts out small, then goes up (if that makes a difference)

so, should I be worried that I'm gonna get it in the middle of class or something?? When did yours stop?

Expect the worst, hope for the best.

Just be prepared because it could come a few days later than you expect, and if it never does come then do a merry little jig.

I kept having mine for 7 months. Bad times.

I'm in the UK and doses are basically adjusted by frequency of shots, since we generally have glass snap-top ampoules which have a specific dose in them, not vials from which we draw however much we need.
I started on the "standard" dose but it was upped after 5 months because my blood tests showed my levels were too low. It took 2 months after that for periods to stop and what I'm on now is the very highest frequency recommended for the dose.

Never had anything happen again after shot #1. I didnt start at a low dose, I started at a "standard" dose.

I got one period straight after my first shot and that was my last one. I'm on half the usual dose.

This.

Although, I cannot say that I know I'm on half a usual dose as I'm not sure what a usual dose would be.  It is half the dose that is stated on my prescription paper [though that may just be the concentration of the T in the oil] so maybe.
I solemnly swear I am up to no good.

Mine were completely gone after about a month on T... Or so I thought.. I started spotting about 3 days ago and I'm 8.5 months on T now. Not sure if it was due to a late shot or something but I guess expect anything. You're never too sure about what your body is going to do.

So, when I start T, I'll always have to worry about my period?

I'm on a low-normal dose though mine is a shot every week (instead of every two weeks). After the first one, I haven't had one since. Basically, if your body already started setting up the next lining before you started T, that stuff has to go somewhere.

I've got my fingers crossed that I won't have the red death again. It hasn't come around in...3 months and I think I'll be starting T within 2 weeks or so. So far I've never been prepared for it. I would wake up one day as if somebody was murdered in my bed, grunt and clean it up.

First off... wow... you know within a week when it's supposed to turn up? Damn... that's like clockwork!  :laugh:

I had a day or three of spotting after the first shot, but it had been a few months since that had last happened. That was my body's usual version of a "period", so I suppose - one.

Over 6 months on T and it hasn't happened again. I'm pretty sure I'm in the clear :).
