Title: More news?
Post by: Tad on May 17, 2011, 01:04:27 PM
Friday I got in for my chest surgery consultation. That's a go, assuming my medical turns out good... so wahoo! However waiting list is 8 months to a year atm. They'll mail me out a date when they can set one :(.


Did more bloodwork - this time we did mid shot instead of trough. Interestingly my midshot levels of Free T were super low.. like around 11, compared to my trough T which had been 16 something.. so anyhow, we're upping my dose to try and get things working. The endo and I went into this  last test thinking that my T levels were too high, because of my trough levels and other evidence.. but nope.. way too low, somehow. So I get to pump even more T into my body. :/. Still bleeding too even though estrogens and whatnot are dead low. So might have to go onto progesterone.

Hey man awesome news about your chest surgery.

Sucks about your hormone levels, hope it works out. How many months on T are you?

Congratulations! Longer wait time will just give you more time to build up your pecs, since that seems to help with results.
Good luck getting rid of Aunt Flow.
