Trans guy

Yeah I’ve been on testosterone for 4 years now so I know all the sides. Everything’s normal and on track atm. By increasing my dosage and taking test in between my 10 weeks shots is there anything else I’d have to take for on cycle support or PCT? I obviously don’t have to worry about production of natural testosterone as I’d continue getting my regular shots but anything else I need to worry about?

I'd get blood work done about mid way thru your cycle. There's a sticky on good places to get lab work on one of these sections..."Serum blood testing" I think. You don't want your e2 (estrogen) to get to high I'd imagine. Aromasin is the safest ai to use to bring down e2. But I don't know much about transitioning, so I'd image you've had all your breast tissue removed so bitch tits shouldn't be an issue. Just safe to keep estrogen within normal ranges for a male.
I image your doc already does blood work as well. So you be able to see if you're having issues with bad lipids(cholesterol), or kidney and liver problems.

I bet if you post in the woman's section there will be a few girls(boys) who are in your shoes. I read a few that do high dosages and aren't worried at all about side effects. To me that translates to probably also trans.

Also Australia can be a little more difficult getting ugl stuff. Once you have access to the underground start researching. I believe you can view the section just not comment or ask questions until you reach member status.

Been researching the forums as much as I can and soak it all in

Yeah I’ve had top surgery and get regular blood tests as it is. I did read about aromasin so I’ll look into that as well. I could potentially ask to be prescribed something for blocking estrogen if my levels did get high but I assume this would raise concern from my doctor

Ya that's why you want to stop injections at 7 weeks to allow the extra cypionate to leave your body. Only thing I can see is that if you do a high enough cycle and start getting cholesterol, and or kidney liver issues, they may take you off or reduce dosage. Then you'll be self Injecting and have to do all your blood work on your own. Other then reg doc visits of course. But that basically puts you in the same place as all us other dudes on this forum.

I’m happy but it doesn’t sound like you are considering you’re butthurt about an anonymous on an online forum. Maybe you should get your hormones checked and find a therapist, you sound a little emotional.

You'll never be a man. You sound just like a woman.

Dude who cares. The OP is an adult. I don't understand this trans stuff any better then you do. As long as it stays out of our elementary schools let people live their lives the way they want. OP wants to live a life as close to being a man as possible. I'm sure OP knows they'll never be 100% a man. Again who cares. The way I see it every human deserves the same respect until they start losing it by being an ass.

Very inspired by your comment. Definitely needed your approval to live my life, changed everything for me! Thank you

Was this meant for me?

 

[5footsomething]

No, just the commenter who goes by “inspired”. I’ve been living my life happily for 4 years, an anonymous on an online thread isn’t going to change that with one comment

Doubt you’d know what a woman sounds like

Ok, cause you quoted one of my posts so it was a little confusing. I don't pretent to understand your lifestyle choice but I was still giving you the help you asked for to the best of my ability. It's none of my business and if it makes you truelly happy then do as you wish. We're all adults.

Welcome to the board. Rarely can someone have such a magnetic personality that their introduction thread makes multiple pages, sorry I am late to the party. Best wishes on your journey.

 

[5footsomething]

I appreciate it! That support always outweighs the hate, thank you

 

[B Ware]

Welcome! Believe it or not a lot of doctors are uneducated when it comes to this lifestyle. Can’t imagine how uneducated they are in your case. Administrating your trt every 10 weeks sounds horrible. It would be interesting to see your labs.

Hope you find the answers you seek.

Ok, I had two good friends go thru this and they are both lifters so my info may not be relivant.
Gym bro #1 we called Mighty Mouse because dude was tiny but could lift some serious shit, he hit about 50-150mg a week depending on being in a blast aka growth phase or cruise aka maintaining phase 2x week test c.

Friend 2 just bounced around dose from 50-100mg or it might have been 50-75 as this was years ago per week for unknown reasons.

Both guys were serious in the gym though and you could tell. Nether would win any comp but had a lean muscular look. In each old life/dead name they were pretty thin so neither was gonna be massive. Please don’t take what I’m saying as the holly grain and go ask in the women’s section as those doses might be crap info for you and I have no idea the sides.

 

[Dang-1]

Also I should mention the doses were casually talked about once and we didn’t really talk about doses after since it was kinda a sensitive secret bieng trans even though I love talking about juice but both started bulking up a bit more later on so I wouldn’t be surprised if they climbed well past 150mg week

Welcome!

This is not the first nor will it be the last time people on here try to gatekeep male hormones. It's ok for them to want to be "more manly" and have bigger muscles, but apparently it's a threat to them when a woman wants more masculine traits.

Life is so confusing. Be who you want to be. Best new member in a while, stick around. I can't wait until you bench press more than the critics.

Sorry got a little confused with my replies, I appreciate your responses. Definitely not aimed at you

no hate from me i just agreed with that guy and wanted to share myexperience with that. theres still a 1% to me you are a man with a mans sexuality and mind in a female body. Even if thats not the case I dont hate you just feel bad for u. if u were a man u wouldnt give a shit either btw u would even joke around when confronted like this so u should do that next time if u want to seem more masculine.see i help u im nice. u can pm pussy now

I don’t need you to feel bad for me nor would I even care if you hated me. I don’t need your tips on how to be a man or seem more masculine. You can keep your 1% hero

I see a regular gp but under guidance of my endo. I still pin myself every 10 weeks so I can get it on the correct date, it’s just easier than depending on whether I can get in with my usual doctor.

The testosterone I take is Undeconate so it’s a slow release with a long ester. The prescribed times for test are 12 - 15 weeks but bc I was really feeling the drop in those last two weeks my shot was moved to every 10. But the doctor who gave me that time frame has moved so my GP now thinks that’s too close together bc the instructions she has from my endo say 12 - 15 and she doesn’t have any experience or knowledge to know any different.

If I were to cycle I was going to take something with a short ester like Test E in between my prescribed shots as they have a longer ester. so 1000mg every 10 weeks and maybe 250 every or every other week until im due for my next 10 week shot. I’m not sure if that even works or how that’d work together

Test U still has a shorter half life (the time it takes for half of the drug to be eliminated from your system) then your pinning schedule. Depending on in which oil it is suspended, it can have a T1/2 of 20 to 33 days. So if you want stable testosterone blood levels, you'd want to pin TestU every 10 to 15 days. We usually pin aas at half of the given drugs half life. Some people even pin TesE and C, which have a T1//2 of app 5 days, every day or every day. These are called micro injections, and are usually done subq.

So as you can see, your pinning schedule is still very suboptimal and your blood testosterone levels undergo a rather heavy fluctuation which can't be good (I've no knowledge really about trans, khm ... science).

As has been previously noted, use this site: SteroidPlotter - Graph your cycle to see how your levels fluctuate in accordance to your pinning schedule. But my advice would be to pin either every 10 or 15 days if your test is suspended in castor oil.
