and i'm here to say i got my hormones today!!! XD

They gave me the gel stuff! Not took any yet, waiting for tonight so i know to take it every night before bed.

XD waited so long for this!!! 

Hey Jon it has been ages! I was wondering what happened to ya.

Congrats on starting HRT!

well at first my pc died in July and because i didn't have a job i wasn't able to afford a new one.

But i managed to get an awesome tower at xmas for dirt cheap too! XD but then... i didn't really have anything to say 

But i'm here now! XD

Dude!  Jon!  You finally got your T, congratulations & welcome back!

Congratulations!  It's about time. 

Congrats.

What helps me with the gel is a fan.  Makes it dry quicker!  Otherwise I'd be standing there all day rubbing it in.

Good luck!

lol great idea, Jay.... not so great when it's freezing! I've took to spreading it on my stomach/abdomen cos i heard thats the best place for it... but i keep getting this white residue which according to the net is the alcohol drying and apparently it only does that if the skin isn't absorbing it properly. So i'm going to try the shoulders and tops of arms tonight.

I usually do the shoulders and arms, but the alcohol-base dried my skin here in the dead of winter.  So now I've been applying it to my thighs.

Yeah, the fan isn't as great in the winter, but I guess it beats standing there for 10 minutes.  I suppose you could use a hair dryer on low, but I haven't had a hair dryer in ages.


Jay

Wow, it has been a while.  Jon, congratz!

Maybe you need to spread it thinner?
Also, maybe avoid getting it on your hands (which get washed and does no good)?

How about using a credit card to "spackle" it on your skin?
