Needing a safe space to vent. So I inadvertently (when I showed a message on my phone) outed myself to someone in church last weekend and now I get the feeling that they’ve distanced themselves.

I’m not interested romantically in said person in any way, just to be clear. But it hurts because he was one of only two people in this town with whom I can pray together. Usually it’s because they feel somehow “betrayed” or think that I’m interested in them… It’s not something they say out loud but I can read between the lines.

I’m not an activist and just live my own life. I don’t see the need to out myself as some sort of ceremony, neither will I conceal my sexuality when asked

I do have wider support through friends who live further away. I hold conservative values and have straight friends who are accepting of me as a person, even if they disagree with my “lifestyle”. I know this because they even invited me into their own homes

My understanding is that testosterone enanthate takes around 6 weeks to reach steady state saturation. – Presumably this means that testing earlier would likely return a lower / inaccurate result?

I didn’t wanna argue anymore with the doctor because it already took a lot of arguing and convincing for him to agree on once-weekly protocol (I’m aware that this is the absolute minimum). Yes, we have “free” healthcare in western Europe but good luck with the waiting time as well as finding a competent doctor

Und wo kann man die kaufen?

Von Sterican gibt’s nur die normalen ohne Filter, glaube ich

Apologies if this has been asked before, but I’m planning on sharing a 100ml bottle with a friend. I’ll be having the decanted one

I was told that 27G x 3/4 will reach SubQ at best and that I will need a really LOOONG needle in order to reach IM

I’m feeling so unsure cause this is my first time. Had my first shot at the doctor’s and tomorrow morning will be my first time self-injecting at home

Addendum: my bmi is 28, but I have thicccc thighs and butt so the question stands if 27G x 3/4 is appropriate?

Bin gerade ziemlich verunsichert. Habe mich mit einem Apotheker unterhalten, der anscheinend Pflege gelernt hat. Der meinte, dass 27G x 3/4“ aufgrund der Länge höchstens nur die Fettgewerbe erreichen wird d.h. SubQ

Das Gespräch wurde dann unterbrochen wegen Kundschaft.

Habe die erste Spritze beim Arzt machen lassen. Danach muss ich selber machen zuhause (bin nicht bei Online-Klinik). Ich weiß jedenfalls, dass Ventrogluteal die sicherste Stelle ist

I’m new to this and wanna make sure I get his right. So I came across a comment suggesting to stand up on the ball of your foot (injection side), rotate your ankle/knee slightly and the vg will pop.

I guess I’m feeling it but the muscle is ROCK HARD (I’m sure it’s not the bone) – is vg supposed to be like this?

Also, is ventrogluteal at or below your ass line? (Not trolling, just wanna be sure)

I’m new to this and already living on disability so please go easy on me. It was an uphill struggle to finally get approved for trt injection, and I had to fight for it.

My question is, if I happened to inject in the “wrong” ventrogluteal site, perhaps towards the buttock, will the test e still be absorbed and take effect nevertheless?

I’m obsessing over this and just needed some assurance

Es war eine hohe Hürde (als Kassenpatient), einen kompetenten Urologen zu finden und ihn nach langwierigen Testverfahren und Ausschlussdiagnosen zu überzeugen, mir Test E zu verschreiben und in einem wöchentlichen Intervall.

Ich möchte dieses Vertrauensverhältnis nicht zerstören, deshalb würde ich nicht heimlich splitten und zweimal die Woche machen. Zudem die Bedenken wegen Hygiene der Einweg-Ampullen, da man laut Anwendungshinweis den ungebrauchten Rest entsorgen muss. Und bevor man mit Privatkliniken kommt, ich bin erwerbsgemindert und kann mir das nicht leisten

Nun meine Frage: Kann man möglicherweise gute Ergebnisse erzielen auf 80 bis 100mg einmal die Woche?

Mir geht‘s in erster Linie darum, wieder „normal“ zu sein. Ich habe schon längst vergessen, wie normal sich anfühlt. Gerade mit Ende 30 liegen mein Ausgangswert von T (1,5 ng/mL) sowie alle betreffenden Hormone im Keller. Ich fühle mich wie ein Monster

I wonder if they’re aware of their own narcissism (in the medical sense)

First off, I’m not being cynical and am sincerely happy - with all my heart - for those who attain positive, desired outcomes on Levo (and thyroid treatment in general)

Now my TSH has gone down to ~1 ish after some six months on Levo, which is a sign that medication is working.

But my body weight still won’t budge and remain stubbornly high. Granted, I’m not someone you’d consider obese at first glance, nevertheless I’m 8kg above my baseline weight of 80kg (175cm male). What I hate most about myself is the moon face

Laut Packungsbeilage muss die (intramuskuläre)
Injektion unmittelbar nach dem Öffnen der Ampulle erfolgen UND die Restmenge ist zu verwerfen.

Ich weiß, dass viele in der englischsprachigen Gruppe auf EOD oder sogar täglich schwören, aber meines Wissens gibt es bei uns den großen, wiederverwendbaren Flakon mit längerer Haltbarkeit leider nicht.

D.h. wenn der Arzt bspw. zweimal die Woche für medizinisch notwendig hält, gehe ich davon aus, dass er auch die entsprechende Menge von Ampullen verschreiben muss

I’m aware that medication does not “cure” gyno. Often surgery is the only option - or in mild cases one can decide to live with it

Basically without any transaction details

I understand that being medicated for prolactinoma / hyperprolactinemia does not “cure” gyno.

I’m just wondering how frequent the causal link is between the two. Does having gyno often come hand in hand with having elevated prolactin levels?

I’m on disability and could only afford one of both.

Found a lab where I could pay privately cause primary doc refuses to run further tests, claiming they’ve “done enough” for me

Can I (M36) safely preclude Prolactinoma if I have body and facial hair? I have mild gyno from being misdiagnosed with schizophrenia and put on Risperdal during puberty, but no nipple discharge. Libido and morning wood comes and goes, but maybe that has to do with stress

I’m already on Levo and trt (gel) through insurance

Primary doctor is refusing to do further tests and I can’t afford to go private

Disclaimer: Not trolling here but genuinely curious

In my gym there are traditional (round) kettlebells as well as the Hyrox ones (square-ish looking).

Is the latter even appropriate for cleans? I imagine it’d hurt
