I’m curious about y’all’s timelines. Here’s some helpful stuff you can include:

-Dose

-Method (gel, injection, etc.)

-What came first and how long it took, what took much longer than expected

-Things that you weren’t expecting/weren’t told about

-Total time you’ve been on T

-Medical conditions that may have impacted it such as PCOS

-Tips and tricks

I’ve been on T for bout a month. 25mg in 1% gel. Wanting to hear from fellow trans people about their wide variety of experiences instead of just relying on standardized articles.

    Started T in 2011 on 0.5 MG injections. It took several months for menstruation to stop and facial hair to come in.

    “Passed” after about a year on T. Muscle gains were wild.

    I stayed on shots for a long time until about 6 months ago when I switched to gel due to struggling to be consistent.

    I had to quadruple my dosage of gel as I started to experience menstruation. I’m now on 100mg daily and will see if menstruation stops. I’m considering endometrial ablation if this doesn’t work.
