Hey.

I'm on a medication for my opiate addiction. It has totally removed my testosterone in the body and I have even started to develop breasts. I was prescribed testosterone. The doctors give me an IM injection every 12 weeks on

I think the injections are too far apart and I only have sex drive for 3 weeks of them 12.

Then I thought to ask you FTM guys how you get your Testosterone.

I think the doctor should have the same view of me as a transgender guy.

I really love when I get the injection. then I start thinking about sex which I never do otherwise. but it lasts too short. I would find it interesting to hear how you're doing


Thanks

Hi friends 

Correct, per site rules dosages are not allowed

Quote8. The discussion of hormone replacement therapy(HRT) and it's medications are permitted, with the following limitations:
A. You may not advocate for or against a specific medication or combinations of medication for personal gain. This is strictly prohibited.
B. You may not discuss the means to acquire HRT medications without a prescription. The discussion of self medication without a doctors supervision is prohibited.
C. The discussion of recommended or actual dosages is strongly discouraged to prevent information obtained on this site from being used to self medicate.
We can not in good conscience condone the self administering of these medications. Not only may self medication be illegal, but HRT medications can cause serious health problems, and many have the potential for life-threatening side effects that can only be detected and prevented with proper medical supervision.

Well he isn't asking dosage just frequency so I think the question is ok. Once a week or once every other week is normal.

Well, he was quoting and asking about dosages and obviously that is why the topic had to be edited

Thank you. How is your level in the blood? my was (13,1) 6 weeks after the injection abit to low I think. By the way am I allowed to ask the T level ?

Depends on the type and strength of the T. Nebido is 3 to 6 months, most IM shots are weekly to monthly.

Like LordKat said it depends on how you are taking your T and what type of T you're taking. Creams, patches, pellets, injections. Enanthate , Cypionate, Propionate, just to name a few options. It depends on your needs, your Dr should have told you when putting you on T, if not then you seriously need a new Dr. Your Dr will also monitor your blood levels too and possibly change the type, method or dosages depending on the results.

I use Nebido. and I inject it in my muscle, ore rather the nurse inject it. it works okay. the breast don't heart any more and my beard has started to grow normally again. It is just the sex drive that is bad. except the 3 to 4 first weeks when it's great. Do you guys ho inject every week do it your self? ore do you have to go to a clinic?

By the way, I talk't to the doctor and the injections is now changed from 12 weeks to 10 weeks interval. Always something but it still feels too far apart.

Most of us self inject or have a friend so it. Some, seemingly UK people, go to a doc office. Nebido is a large shot.

My T prescription just changed to Nebido (I asked the doctor to change it due to REASONS) and the shot is every 8-12 weeks. Can't say how many weeks for me since I just got the shot yesterday. We'll see how I'm feeling around March-April change.
I've seen the Finns talking about injecting every 8 weeks to 12 weeks. It depends on the individual, and apparently post-hysterectomy some have started to inject with longer intervals.

As for the actual injection, my fiancée does it for me. My practical nurse friend taught her to do it.
I wouldn't be able to do it myself.
