Title: Woah, I'm getting a referral!
Post by: elvistears on August 25, 2010, 07:13:25 PM
I just went and saw my psych doc and he said he would put out his feelers and get in touch with me about my endo referral soon! I don't know what else to say except I'm extremely STOKED!!!11!! CAN YOU TELL?

It'll most likely still be a few months before I actually get T, but still, one step out of the way!

Thanks guys!! My doc said he'd refer me to one of two endos, but I was too excited and forgot one of the names as soon as I left. The other one likes to start out on tablets which pretty much do nothing, or really low shots.  I kinda want low shots but not REALLY low, y'know.. So I hope I can stand my ground and at least make sure I get shots.

listen to whichever endo you eventually get and start at a low dose to be sure your body doesn't do weird things the way MtFs find high doses of E get converted to T.
This happened with me and over the space of 3/4 weeks I flushed out with thick black hairs all over my hands, face and legs.  Awful time.
Whether a FtM would find a high dose of T would convert to E and grow lovely boobs and gorgeous complexion is something I don't know and haven't heard about but it would be awful for you to find out.

Thanks guys! Yeah lilacwoman, I want to start low to give my body a chance to adjust, but from what I've heard the tablets don't do anything because the body doesn't absorb T that way.  I'm gonna have to push if I wanna start on shots, but i will.
