Title: Starting T Tomorrow
Post by: Gene on July 09, 2014, 08:12:06 PM
As expected, Tricare rejected Androgel. Not because it's trans-related; they don't cover name brand lol. I scheduled my first shot and teaching for tomorrow at 10. I was told ahead if time that they'll cover that but not the topical cream from a vet friend whose spouse had a similar issue. Thought I'd try anyway. Figured it was worth a shot. ;)

Congrats on starting T!  I know that you had top surgery.  I would love to hear about your experience and hear how you are healing.  I am sure others would too.  If you are so inclined, please share your experience in this thread.  It would be extra awesome if you would include a pic!  Thanks!

It did for me too. No worries, it'll be here sooner than you think :)

Congrats! I really didn't want to take shots either, but with time I have gotten used to them. I hope that everything goes well :)
