when you been on T how long did it take before you period stopped?

and do you still get some of the same signs/pain during what where suposed to be your period-time?

I started T April 5th, and got my last period in the second week of June.  It was weird and only lasted a couple days, and only 12 days after the previous one, so I had a feeling it was stopping.  Nothing since, although I do get the occasional cramp or pain, it's random and not on any cycle that I can discern, and I'm not completely sure it isn't digestive issues really, since I've got some degree of lactose intolerance.

nothing in the second and third month - woot! couldn't be happier. going into my fourth month on T in a few days.

@Bahzi remember we were having some body smell discussions a few months ago? am getting somewhat used to my new body smell, bro.

I started T in April and my last period was in March, so it stopped right away.

now I feel all depressed of being soon 4 month on T and its still there -__-

I was almost at 4 months before it stopped. My doctor had me up my dose slightly because I was having it about every 2 weeks (nightmare!) and once I upped slightly it went away and hasn't come back. I have experienced no symptoms of having it (like cramping) either.

It took about a month for me. No PMS or cramps since then.

I selected "other" since it stopped at about 3 months but returned twice after that - once at 6 months and once at 11 months. uuuuggghhh

It was about 4 months for me.

hope it would be away by then.. >__<

I don't really know. I've only been on T for a month and a bit, and my period was irregular before this. So I won't know if it's stopped unless I get a period sometime in the future.

Took about 8 months for me...became more and more intermittent and lighter though, until at the end it was barely even worth any trouble.  However I was in the middle of a move around May and didn't realize my T had run out until about a week prior to the move, and decided to wait until I moved to order it again, and so on and so forth until it ended up being around 6 weeks between my shots.  About a day after I finally got my T and administered it, I guess I was too late because I got my period...and it was terrible.  It lasted about two weeks and was the most painful one I've ever had...make sure you keep up with T!  I'll never make that mistake again!

I selected "other" because I wanted to see the results. lol.  I'm not on T yet.

Mine stopped right away, but I swear I still get PMS moods and tiredness.

I had my first shot September 20th, 2010, I got my period maybe 4 days after that shot.  I havent had a period since. I had one super bad hotflash in the middle of class once a few weeks in but thats the only one that I had.

I'm not on T but I am on hormone blockers, got my period a couple days after my shot so I guess I was due anyway- which will make it easy to judge when it's going to stop I guess, since the shots are monthly. Less mood swings though. Might help to know when a period generally naturally stops after the bad hormones are taken away? I'll let you know :)

It will be a good feeling to know that once they stop for me on hormone blockers, however long that will take- which I am on for a year (argh) - that they shouldn't have a reason to come back again seeing as I'll be on T after that.

When I reached menopause. Thank god it was early. (Oops, thank nature/genetics/circumstances.)

I started T at the end of Nov and had my last period the week after in the Dec and like others it was weird and only lasted a few days. It hasn't been back since (thank whoever!) though I do get intermittent cramps similar to what I used to get at that time of the month. But these pains are not in any pattern ie they're not once a month. They sometimes come on when I am excited, or don't get to go to the bathroom and have to hold, or just whenever it feels like it really. There was a time I was getting the cramps once a week and I was getting worried. Saw the docs at the women's and children's dept at the local hospital (as much fun as it sounds I assure you) to see about a hysto and will be having that in the next few months. I had to refuse any tests they wanted to do apart from ultra sound. I really just cant have that area touched and absolutely nothing goes inside so, safest thing really for me to have it all out. And that's my guarantee to never have this ghastly visitor ever again.

Hope it stops soon man..

I really should have kept a log about my transition (can't even remember when I started, April 2009?!? ???) pretty sure mine stopped within 3 months and I started on a really low dose.

I never had another period after my first injection. I think I was pretty lucky.

I started T 3 weeks ago and just had a period still.  But it was different, seemed delayed and the stomach cramps were worse than usual.  But conversely the bleeding lighter and shorter.  Seems like my body putting up some sort of fight.  Hopefully no more next month  :-X

i had my last one in july around my six months but i started out on a low dose. then i upped my dose and haven't had one since. Last month, i had some pms type feelings around when it would have happened but hopefully its gone for good

In my case, I started T on the very same day that I started my period. Normally, my periods have always been about 5 to 7 days. But my last period was only three days long, and it was a lot lighter than they'd even been before. I haven't had a period since then, and it's been absolute bliss.

Don't be worried about still having one after four months.

I've been wandering around the net for some time, and some guys that I've read about have still had one after seven months. Unfortunately, not all of us stop at the same time. It may take longer for you to stop than others, but it should happen eventually, and if it doesn't, maybe you could have a talk with your doctor and ask him to raise the dosage that you take?

I been starting on a pretty low level, and sadly I think im one of this people with a high level of estrogene in my body.
so far the positive thing is im not in that much pain as I used too, but I still hate it.
Im wondering about making getting alittle more but I think I would wait for my doctor to show me the test they have made, before I can take it to the next step.

Hmm...you think you have high estrogen? I'm assuming that they did a blood test for you, they didn't explain your levels? For myself, I know that my T was extremely low, so low that I actually have bruises all over my body since I can remember ( I always thought that this had to do with iron, but it turned out that I was wrong, ) I'm sure that if you ask your doctor the next time that you go in, they can explain it to you. At least, I'd hope that they could o.O;

hope so, they tested me but I havent got any updates so I guess everything is fine,
I got soft features, and tend to get a very painfull period when I do, and as I start T I got almost no body hair, I got alittle extra on my stomack. (not that I mind, I dont really like to be too hairy) so thats why I think I could have alot of estrogene in my body, I dont know if it right or wrong?

The only way to tell is through a bloodtest.
I used to think that I had high T because I've always been kinda hairy xD (( Arms, legs, back, stomach...etc, )) But I found out after my bloodtest that my T was extremely low, even for a girl (( A mere 43 where normal T 'in men, I think' is 300 )) Which explains why I used to bruise all the time xDD

hmm interesting, I wonder how its with me,

I voted other because I was given a hormone blocker of sorts to shut down my ovaries even before I started T itself and therefore my period stopped the day I started T and never came back.

I had my first injection on the last day of my period in july, and i havent had one since and they used to be regular as clockwork. Think i'm still getting the pmt though or that could just be the T

Are you sure you didn't make a typo? 'Cause 43 is not low at all for a female, at least according to current standards. From what I've read (and experienced with the lab that did my blood work), bottom range of normal tends to be around 15-20.
