Just stoked to say..

that hormones are pretty much running in the male levels already.

Two weeks ago had my bloodwork done 17 days after my second shot (4 weeks ago).. and... everything came out good.

My Free T levels had started out at 3.3 (female range is about 1-2.6) nmol. Bloodwork showed I was up to 6.8.

My Estridial was down to 181 mol with 150 being top max for males - from it being at 1041 (800 - 2000 is considered normal for females) before starting T.

Stoked on how fast my hormones levels are mascuilinizing.

Cool, Tad!

Are we to assume that this means the T isn't just "in your ass" anymore??   

[xAndrewx]

That's awesome man! Can't wait to get my levels and find out if mine are as well!

[straightedgechris]

Congrats Tad! Awesome!

one more month on T (8 weeks now)..

estrodial is down to 110 (well withint normal male range).. however I am bleeding atm. Fack

Testosterone is up to 16. something.. well into normal range.

Had another appointment with the speicalist (well his assistnant).. got my referal for top surgery.. consult in a month and a half with a surgoen.. then likely an 8 month wait before i can get in to surgery (surgeons are busy).. still haven't gotten into the endo.. but yeah.. top surgery is on the radar now. Hard to believe I only started the whole.. medical/therapy part of this transition back in September. (was already living full time)


T changes - got a weird hair patch in the back of my head, might be thinning slightly. No voice change, not much in body measurements change - really very little at all. A few more dark hairs coming in on the face, quitre a bit of genital growth.. moods are much more stable? But really.. there hasn't been much for change.

i just got my T levels checked , my endo didn't tell me what they were.
all he said was that my t levels are in the 'normal' range..

[Sharky]

Congrats. I guess since you passed so well before T that there isn't much for T to change. Good luck with top surgery.

[piers816]

Grats with your T levels!    And good luck with top surgery

[Tad]

oy and I'm weaning off my anti depressants now. My moods been stable enough since i started living full time.. and it stayed ok through the coming out process and all.. so we decided it was time to get off. Things are going good.

Congrats, mate. Sounds like stuff is working out.

That's good news!  I have decreased my anti-depressant since coming out as trans...I hope to get off them soon too!  Isn't amazing how living your life truly how you are can make you feel so much better!

[ty.to.the.man]

thats awesome!!
not to hijack this thread but:
does anyone know if they have a way of giving you an implant for T? (implant similar to the hormone blocker one)
