Title: menstrual cycle
Post by: s1ncere on July 14, 2010, 12:46:11 AM
ok sorry if this is a repeated question.

Guys on T...how many months on T were u when your menstrual cycle stopped?
I have been on T for 19 weeks now...I went to my follow up visit a couple of weeks ago..n my doc asked me when I last had it...n he gave me a weird look n said "Oh u still get it?"
ahh n the nightmare(period) is back..n I notice that these past months my cramps are more painful n i dont bleed as much compare to pre-T

I didn't have another "P" after my first shot but from what I can see of you, I was a fair bit older than you at that time.

Age may make a difference.

I had major fibroids going on too so I can FULLY sympathise with what you are going through at the moment mate.

About 7 months. I had to have my dosage increased to stop it.

After first shot.  I was 19 at the time, so i'm not sure if age matters.

I had one period straight after my first shot and that was my last one.

I had two--although I was ramped up to higher dose between those.

I had one, the week after my first shot and haven't had one since even with my dose getting cut in half.

I had one about 2 weeks after I started T and then they stopped.

I hope mine stops soon.  I've had three curses from hell since I started on T.  Bloating, weight gain, depression, tampons.  Who needs it?  Not me.  My next one is due in two weeks.  I'm hoping and praying that it never comes at all.

I should probably add that I'm on half dose every fortnight.

I had 2 i think. It might be worth talking to your endo about eostrogen blockers to help the T take more effect if you are still having them after a while.

I only had one after my shot and it was fairly long. Haven't had one since and I'm going on 6 months.

After the first shot. I'm 19 and have been on T ten weeks. My body has been pretty receptive to T in a short amount of time.

Mine did not stop until I moved to a full dose. Then it stoped immediately.

Well, I should probably say that I am not a typical case, having a messed-up gynecological area.  I've never had anything successfully stop or "fix" my period.  My period "typically" goes 3weeks, then off 3-4 months, then 3 week period.  Tried everything in high school and beyond to even get it down to the normal once a month.  It's a pain, but it's down to an annoyance factor now and doesn't cause a lot of dysphoria for me.

But to answer your question, I started T in October 2003. ;D
