People on T on here, do you write down T when you fill out what medications you’re on or medical forms. For example, I just joined a dentist and had to say what medications I’m taking and had to do a minor medical for work. I’m very aware of not wanting to out myself but it is technically something I am taking.
Hey everyone! Just holding my first bottle of Testogel! Super excited to get started. I was told by the doctor to apply in the morning due to hormone level levels of being higher than I think? But I really think that I am going to struggle with applying it consistently and it not completely disrupting my morning routine or lack of should I say… it will be much better if I could apply in the evening. Is there really any difference? Will it affect levels or something? The only problem I can see is I’ve got told that the blood tests you have every three months need to be 4 to 6 hours after you applied it which might be difficult if I’m applying it in the evening.
So great news in that I’ve just been given my first T prescription! 🎉🎉 however my autistic brain is really struggling with when and how to apply it. I’ve understood and been told about revolving areas and that it takes 10-15 minutes to dry and you have to do it in the morning. I’m just confused on like so you apply it on your thigh, do you then have to walk around with no trousers on for 10 minutes or no top on etc? How do you fit it into your routine? Can it be on the upper arm but below where a tshirt sleeve normally falls or? I appreciate Im really overthinking all this but this the type of thing my brain can’t cope with sometimes. I usually wake up, get dressed and go to work as I start at 7.15 each day, so I’m going to have to purposefully get up earlier to put on the gel.
Random question that I can’t find any info about. My previous assumption was that going on T will mean that you won’t undergo a menopause when you get to that age. This is based on not a lot and the more I think about it it doesn’t seem right. I saw a post somewhere about someone having trouble with T symptoms and menopause symptoms and I wanted to ask the question to people who know about it. If you’re just on T will you have menopause later in life? Is it dependent on other factors like if you have the womb or ovaries taken out or how long you’ve been on T for? I’m 30 just about to start T and definitely want a hysto at some point. If I don’t have a hysto would I be likely to get menopause in 20 years (or whenever it should naturally happen!)? Or does it happen regardless of hysto and T?
