Hey fellas, I took my third shot of T today and I’m confused if I’ve been taking the correct amount. Planned Parenthood said they would give me 3 months worth of shots but the pharmacy only gave me 4 vials. Each vial is 200 mg and the directions said for me to take 0.1 mL every 7 days but the vials said they were single use only, so I’ve been injecting the full vial every week. Is that right?? I’m not sure if that’s correct. I’ve never taken any injectable medication before so I don’t know how any of this works. Can someone lmk if I’ve been doing it right or wrong? Thanks guys.

Hey guys I started testosterone a couple weeks ago now! I’ve taken two of my T shots and it’s been cool so far nothing crazy :-). I’ve been wanting to get into shape at the gym but I absolutely hate cardio. I want to get stronger and build muscle. I know I have to do some cardio but I want to know what weight training you guys did to help build muscle and strength. I’m a heavy guy and I’ve struggled with weight for years now. I’ve heard lifting weights helps burn more fat than cardio. I started changing how I eat but I want to know what you guys did to help you get into shape and genuinely what your workout routine was. Thanks for any advice!

Hey y’all, so I ended up going to planned parenthood to get started on my testosterone shots. The only thing I’m worried about is they didn’t do any blood work on me they just gave it to me. I asked the provider if she was going to do bloodwork and she said that they don’t do that and I’d have to do it thru my primary care doctor. The provider said essentially my primary care doctor is going to be the one to monitor my levels and whatnot. I don’t technically have a primary care doctor rn but when I talked about it with a different doctor she thought it was weird and said I should be cautious of taking hormones from a place who didn’t even bother running bloodwork on me first. I really want to start and I’m picking up my prescription today but I don’t know if I can actually go thru with it. I’m running bloodwork on my own thru that other doctor and I’m getting that done today as well. What should I do?

So I’ve been pretty stressed out about this because idk what to do. Some background: I (24M) have a friend (22F) and we have a history. About a year ago we were fwb that lasted a few months but ended after some shit went down. During that time we expressed we both liked each other but didn’t think either of us were in a place to be in a relationship. After some stuff happened we stopped talking for some months and even when we would talk it wasn’t the same. I moved to NorCal mid November and we didn’t talk much before I left. I took it really hard because I genuinely liked her and she helped me a lot while I went cold turkey with weed. Anyways fast forward to the end of last year and I confessed to her I still liked her and she said nothing in return which made me think she didn’t feel the same. We kind of stopped talking again about a month after that for other reasons and she randomly hmu again in April (Also by this point I had already been involved with a couple girls and kept things strictly physical because I didn’t want to risk catching feelings and get hurt again) I expressed how I felt with her coming in and out of my life like nothing and she apologized and I thought everything was cool. Well in May we went to a festival with a group of friends and we talked a bit but things still felt a little off and being there I realized I still had feelings for her and I started distancing myself and didn’t really enjoy myself much of the trip. I called her about a week later and apologized for being weird and we cleared things up. I talked to my other friend about it and said I’d rather stay her friend than not have her in my life at all. Our friendship is genuinely good and we both have the same humor and I feel happy being able to just be friends with her. Also for more context, I started doing my own thing again while her and I stayed friends. I was involved with the same girl I was involved with a couple months earlier and I told her about my experiences with the girls I had been with. She never really said much about it which made me think there was a possibility she liked me again but she’s terrible at communicating so I tried not to overthink it. Well towards the end of May she had some super wild shit happen to her and I was there for her and comforted her. Also for more context she doesn’t text much and she only does phone calls once in a while. Anyways since all that happened she’s been calling me at least once a day. Sometimes 2-3 times and we don’t talk about anything crazy we mainly just talk about how our day is going and what we’re up to. Out of all the times we’ve talked otp the last month she’s called me like 85-90% of the time. So she came up to visit me last week and we had a good time everything was cool until we got drunk the last night she was here and we hooked up. (She initiated it btw) Leading up to it she told me she was salty about the girls I hooked up with and then asked me if I still liked her and I said yes but it didn’t matter because she doesn’t feel the same. She told me to not assume how she feels and I asked if she liked me and she pretty much said it without saying it if that makes sense. This whole conversation happened while we were laying in bed. I only remember it because I wasn’t as drunk yet but she was. The morning after was kind of awkward but after breaking the ice with a couple jokes our regular dynamic was back. I asked her before I dropped her off at the airport if we were cool and she said yes and flew home. We continued talking like normal after and she continued calling me. We didn’t talk about us hooking up at all. It’s just like swept under the rug I suppose but I do have feelings for her but I’m afraid if I tell her we won’t be friends anymore. I’d rather have her as a friend in my life than not have her at all. Two days ago we were otp watching the World Cup and I asked if I could fly down to watch one of the World Cup games with her and she gave me a lame excuse as to why not and I told her if she didn’t want me to come to just say it instead of beating around the bush. So she said she just wanted to be alone and I understood it but she took my tone as I was upset and got upset at me and said this is why she didn’t want to tell me but I kept reassuring her I wasn’t. We ended the call after the game ended and texted only a bit the rest of that night and the following morning which was yesterday. Yesterday in the afternoon I called her and asked if she was watching the game and she said she wasn’t and we only talked for like 2 minutes then she said she wasn’t in the mood to be otp so we hung up. During all this I had some other stuff going on and I was already having a rough day but I didn’t tell her that otp I only had intentions of talking about the game to get my mind off things. Well she texted me later and I thought we were cool so I cracked a joke and then asked if I could call her to which she then said she was at her second job and it was a shit show which is why we didn’t talk much otp earlier in the day. I told her I understood and then said I was having a rough day so that’s why I wanted to talk otp but that I was okay now. This morning she texted me she feels like I’m guilt tripping her for saying that and she assumed I only wanted to talk about the game since I didn’t say anything else. I responded saying it wasn’t my intention and I’m sorry, that she was right I only wanted to talk about the game so I could get my mind off things. She hasn’t said anything since and she hasn’t called me since the other night we were otp watching the game. I know this is long but I just don’t know what to do anymore. Does she actually like me or does she just like the attention I give her? I feel another thing i should add is I tend to get attached and she can tend to be avoidant. She’s extremely independent because she’s afraid of being like her mom. (Her mom will hop from bf to bf to avoid being alone) Some have suggested to just talk to her directly but she’s horrendous at communication. Anytime talking about feelings comes up she shuts it down. She doesn’t like to show her vulnerable side because of a pride thing but I’ve always fought for what I feel and believe in so I don’t mind. I know this is worded kinda badly but this is how it is in my head. My brain is scrambled.

TLDR; Girl I have a history with started calling me everyday sometimes multiple times a day after not talking consistently or at all for months because she went through something difficult. She said she knew I still like her and said she liked me while we were drunk and we hooked up. Since then things were like normal again but the past couple days we’ve barely talked because she thinks I’m upset that she didn’t want to hang out with me after spending the weekend with her. So in turn it caused her step back from me and ignore me because she doesn’t like to talk about feelings.
