Switching to injections from gel, help??

Hii so I’ve been on androgel for about a month now and I’m really stressed.

I feel like with the current heat wave I’m probably just sweating it all off, and I’m running out of clothes big enough to cover where I applied it.

I’m so clumsy and I’m so scared I’ll get it on someone/thing. I’ve already spilled some on the floor and sink by accident and had to clean it with bleach because that was all I had

I’m so scared. I live with so many pets and afab girls.

I knew i wouldn’t like it but I had to start with gel because otherwise my parents were completely against T in general. I’m hoping now that I’ve tried it they’ll let me switch to injections

I’m wondering do I have to wait the whole three months until my next appointment before switching to injections? I go to my family doctor if that’s important info

Has anyone ever switched their form of T in only one month??

Any advice is greatly appreciated
Thank you in advance!!

TL;DR
I want to switch to injections asap, is it possible to do so even though I’m only one month on t-gel. I receive my T prescriptions from my family doctor.

Did my doctor microdose me? Should I up my pumps?

She prescribed me two bottles of 1% gel, it says each pump provides 1.25 g and she said to use two pumps a day so I believe that means it’s 25mg?

I’m 2 weeks in so far and haven’t noticed anything other than a tiny bit of bottom growth and libido changes. My testosterone was already a bit high pre t (just at the high end of normal female range) so maybe that’s why?

Idk.. I’m wondering if I should just do like 3 or 4 pumps because I’m prescribed two bottles so I have a full extra one (my doctor was really clueless about really anything to do with hrt and thought the bottles would be tiny)

Or if it’s better to just wait it out until my 3 month check up?

First time wearing a skirt in about 6 years! Feat. My dog lol :)

I haven’t felt like wearing a skirt because of getting misgendered, but I realize I get misgendered dressing masc too so why not just wear my skirt and dress how I want?? I love skirts so much they used to give me so much joy TwT

I wore it to the movies with my boyfriend!! I was nervous he wouldn’t like it but he did! Yayy :3

And my dog was very supportive lol, I think she might need a skirt too.

Tips for not gaining weight on T??

Hi! 19ftm here!

My mom made me worry that the second I start testosterone I’ll get extremely fat

I know this isn’t true but as someone who struggles with eating and weight stuff i can’t get her words out of my head now

I know water weight and bloating will get worse especially in the face until a few months-years

I’m not even really sure what I’m asking here :,) just looking for advice I guess…

Hii my Maltese (1 quarter shihtzu) mix Princess will not ever stop barking when I walk away.

I think it’s a bit because of separation anxiety. But if I even just start walking away or go to the kitchen to make myself food or chat with family she starts barking nonstop until I return. It’s ear piercing and headache inducing.

It doesn’t help if I stay in her eyesight, or if I don’t, or if she’s in her crate, lose in the room, or in her playpen. She does it nonstop for over an hour until she falls asleep.

She also does it if she hears a noise, sees my other dog in the distance, sees a shadow. Anything really.

Not even chew toys or delicious food will distract her.

Any help or suggestions would be so appreciated!! If you’ve gone through similar happy ending stories are nice!

Also she’s 7 months old, I got her from a rescue/rehoming situation at 12 weeks. I’m not sure of her background before that.
