Title: question regarding cycles/spotting/pain while on t.
Post by: slyblue on June 04, 2016, 01:38:49 PM
I started testosterone on Thursday. I had literally just finished my cycle the day prior to my first injection. Last night I found it hard to go to sleep because I was experiencing a dull ache in the middle and lower regions of my back on the right side. This morning I woke up and found a few very light splotches of pink, and I'm thinking that last night I was spotting. I don't know if this is normal or not, does anyone know? The pain is what makes me a bit weary. A already called my practitioner's office, and they're supposed to call me back with information but that was three hours ago. Also, how long does it usually take for cycles to go away?

I haven't noticed any spotting; although it is normal for this to occur on rare occasions no matter how long you're on T. I had a few sporadic cramps for a few months but it wasn't painful  (I didn't get painful cramps during shark week anyway). And cycles go away 2-6 months on T. It's normal to be late then start having a cycle again as well (I was 3 weeks late when I started T).
