So either I have overactive inner bits that are producing too much estrogen or my body is rejecting the testosterone, no idea. I see my endo in two months, and I'll be getting my first blood test to check hormone levels (strangely after nine months they haven't got me to do one. >:(
Either way I'm thinking of switching to the pill rather than injections because it's just much easier for me to take testosterone every day in pill form, I take vitamins every day and never forget. I just have no idea which is cheaper. My coverage will be ending soon as after that appointment I'll only have 8 months or so until I'm 21. My coverage right now is around 80% so my testosterone is around 60 something dollars and I only pay 12...or close to that number. The good thing about injections is that 60 dollars worth lasts about three months. Anyone know about oral testosterone, or is currently on it?

Pill form isn't a good idea.

The guy I get my script from told me that pills are not offered for use by ->-bleeped-<-s. They are only to be used by bio men with hormone level issues.
