Title: Taking low dose of T for post op MTF
Post by: chinee on June 18, 2018, 04:37:13 AM
Hello guys,

I need your advise regarding this matter. Im one of the few lucky girls who suffer from very low T in my body after years in E and srs. Testosterone cream is not available in where I am but I found an alternative which is an injectable testosterone depot.

I know this sounds really scary like why on earth a Mtf would want to have a T shot but do you think it would be ok if I inject a very very small amount from the ampule twice a month or once a month just to raise my T to its female range?

Some girls here have taken Testosterone. The reasons they give are to increase confidence and libido. It will also increase your muscular strength.

Low dose testosterone to keep you in the female range can be done safely, but needs to be monitored by a doctor with experience in hormone replacement. Without good monitoring of your blood levels, you can easily slip into the male range and begin to look like a female body builder.

I know of some women who use the Testosterone implanted pellets to raise their Testosterone into the female range.

Best wishes on whatever you decide to do. Keep safe.

I am post-op and feel/look better since taking a little T. I apply Androgel.
