I was a little worried when she pulled out a needle the size of a pencil lead in the god old HHS.but I didn't feel it. Patently my free T levels were at 3.3. Lower limits for adult males is 6 and women average around 1. Something. Anyhow my ass is kind a sore now. Hehehe
first shot? Congrats!
LOL congratulations!
Nice. Some things are worth having a sore ass the next day. :angel:
Apparently* Cant edit from my phone for some reason
Congrats! The soreness will get better soon bro.
Was the title intend to sound naughty? ;D
Tad, Awesome news and congratulations. We knew you could do it!!!

I was wondering that as well. I saw "Tad" and "It's in my ass" and I immediately imagined a thread that would be about something gnawty. Uh.... I mean, naughty.
I think its good instead of 'I've got my first shot!'. That's a creative way to let people know ;)
Oy since I'm home now... I'll add in my measurements etc as a way to keep track.

Dude, that's great!! Congrats! ;D
And my good day is ruined... well I'ma try not to let it.. but ->-bleeped-<-. I got an email from relatives... Dad went and told the rest of the family, and one relative is sending an email saying that he's not supportive of this (religous). FACK. I knew it'd come along sooner or later.. but.. I was hoping not right now.
You can weather it man! Keep on keeping on and remember you know who you are. You know better than anyone else.
Go out there and give them hell. ;) That might have been a pun
Hang in there, Tad. You knew it was coming so just let it pass.
Congrats on the PITA

Yeah, right. Like that's gonna matter. So that's one less christmas card to send. Save the money for more T. ;D
no I just am pretty sure all the rest of my relatives will follow suit. haha that will leave me with my accepting mom.. and minus 20+? (small families on both sides) hahaha
T is cheap at $8 for 5 monthsworth. hahaha
Congrats Tad!!! ;D
congrats! :)
Change of gender forms came in last tues, name change came in today... zipped down to the registries this afternoon and got my drivers liscence and health care card changed.. should get the new ones in the next week or two. Monday i'll go get my debit/credit cards changed over when the bank is open.

Tad. I say this with great respect, pointing out that it comes from someone without a close, extended family, but if you have your mom, who else matters?
Congrats Tad!
Tad I am sorry that your having a such a rough road with your family. I am walking the road too! However, the thing about families is as long as there is love things will work out. Have faith that in the future it will be better. Right now all you can do is control your own reaction to the situation. I have told my parents ... I don't expect them to accept that - I love them despite their uncomfortableness with me being trans. Family is unconditional love -- and your parents love you -- just trying to continue to parent you despite being an adult
So... i've been trying to keep this hidden from my landlady.. i've lived here for 3 years now and have anopther 3 months on my contract and she only rents to females. She's a devout catholic and easily spends likw 5+ hours a day praying. So I thought I'd be out on my ass if she found out about this. Today she approaches me, congradulating me on becoming who God meant for me to be, and that her sister went through the same process and she is now 64, and now she's being extra friendly.. O_o
All I can think that that means is my dad outed me to her as well.. and either she thinks I'm a Lesbian... or she has a ->-bleeped-<- sister.
Either way, I'm glad she's nice and that you're not out on your ass.
Ehehehe, the religious ones are always tricky. You never know who's going to be all about God's wrath and who's going to be about God's love. She sounds like the latter.
Oh and I spose since this is a T thread.. ummm.. so far my libido has dramatically increased. That's about it. I feel good. other then that, maybe a tiny tiny bit of growth down there, and umm orgasms feel a bit different.. O_o.. Not to sure why on that end.
Grats that's a pain in the ..rear worth having.. I'm sorry you're having trouble with your family, hopefully time will be your friend.. As for the land lady yes, it's funny how some people can completely surprise you..
My aunt told me "*female name*, girl, I accept you for the wonderful person I know you are, you'll always be the same to me" leaving me completely confused and trying to explain what FtM means.. Turns out she got it, just had a weird way of expressing that... :)
I still have a lot of folks especially family though who don't know...
We'll see.. Anyway once again grats!
Lolz I walked into the bank today to change my name on credit and debit cards, and handed her my passport as photo ID, and she's like.. is this for your wife? She then stares back at name change forms and is like... ohhhhh.
Sadly I will now be recieving bills as Miss Terrence ______. Once I get my new drivers liscence back with the M on it, i'll try for the Mr.
And sadly.. still not passing so well with the queer community. I mean they don't question it once they are told I'm male.. but yet another bull dyke thought I was one of them.
But I spotted a MTF at my uni today. She's pretty, but voice and hands are a dead give away. I thought i was the only trans here. hehehe.
tecnhicanly it was 43$ for 200/ml... for a 5ml bottle.
My insurance covers 80% of medications. hence the $8.
My doc did NOT want me to take the shots. I made him give them to me. ummm... I go into a clinic to get my shtos done atm, and they provide the needles there - so they are free.
depends on your dosage as well, mine will last me 5 months unless my dosage changes. Other people get very different dosages.. really depends on your doctor and your baselines.
He's had too many complications with infections and abcess's caused by injections of T in bio men. He typically prescribes the pills despite the risk for liver complications (though he also closely monitors that with bloodwork once a month), gel was the next, but much too pricey for me.. so shots it was.
My free T levels were 3.3 which are inbetween male and female.
Alright... measurements.. it's only what.. day 3.5? But some noticeable changes already - changes in bold

oh hi theres. :o :icon_flower: :icon_invision:
Yay for shrinking hips. That's some really fast progress.
Congrats on the First T shot. Love the title. No better way to hook someone into reading your post. :D
Hugs,
Roxy & Patty
think the body measurements there must be a change in water retnetion. I seem to be thirsty constantly now.. and not peeing any of it now, so I think I'm just tanking up on water.
On another note - I've always had 3 black chin hairs. Last night.. there were 4 more sticking out a couple mm, bringing me up to 7. hahaha.
Coming up on 3 weeks. No changes except for an increased sex drive and a bit more emotionaly stable. Oh and increased acne. ACNE ACNE ACNE all over my face. But that's okay. I don't caare all that much.
Oh, how I wish it was in my ass!!!
Oh wait, this is the incorrect sub-forum for that. >:-) So on that note, congratulations on three weeks! It's been six weeks for me and when I was almost three weeks in I noticed the same changes you noticed. So....cool!
Congrats on 3 weeks Tad! I'm also having the severe acne but really not sure if it's the T or because I had to deal with "red death" last week which always makes me break out. Either way oh well don't bother me too much.
Congrats on 6 weeks Heath!
Congratulations dude!!!
Doesn't it just feel GrrrrrREAT!!?! ;D
Well it's 3 months.
I've gained 10 pounds (mnostly fat I think :/)
getting mroe facial fuz.. on good days my voice has dropped a note or two, on normal days it's the same as it always has been minus the scratchiness pre T. Growth down there.. maybe an inch - though that's not saying much as I was practically inverted (wuestionable whether I had anything htere beofre), ummmm face has changed maybe slightly - though it could be ebcause I gained 10 pounds too.. I donno. I smell more dudley.. it takes nothing to sweat.. and I stink when I sweat. that's about it?
Finally got into the endo yesterday.. he said all looked good, that he would have started me on a much lower dose as procedure, because at a normal dose most people experience horrible mood swings.. but I didn't.. so he figures he'll just keep me on this dose unless I'm peaking too high. My doc was taking blood at the wrong time of the cycle (trough).. so now we're moving on to peak tests..
Chest consult is coming up in a couple weeks. Need to work on losing fat. I've gained 40 pounds since i started taking SSRI"s a year and a half ago.. as of a couple days ago I'm conpltely off them so hopefully I'll lose.
Cousin is getting married next month and mom thinks I should wear a suit.. so she's taking me to buy a suit today.. that's exciting.
