Hey guys i've heard numerous times that someone on HRT (T or E) shouldn't be smoking (nicotine at least) I wanted to know what are the drawbacks from smoking on T and if any of you currently are/have.

Im currently a chronic smoker and ive tried multiple times to quit but it does not stick, need to know if i actually have to drop this habit for good.

so ive been on T for a few weeks now and since im doing diy, i stupidly did not know that height and weight impacts your dosage. i dont know where else i can ask this question and i am not good with mathematics. i am 5'1, roughly 60kg (132lbs), im taking 0.5 of testosterone cypionate 200, never got a baseline blood test but hopefully going to get one soon via my doctors if they approve it. should i be on a lower dose given my small size or am i fine to carry on with 0.5 ?

I’ve tried to buy in various, and I mean VARIOUS ways, but I just can’t rn apparently my country blocked payment transitions that had to do with directly buying it online, unless it’s P2P where I have no idea where to do without getting scammed, ugh and I’ve been dealing with this for days straight I just really need some help I’ve tried everything. I wonder what else there is to do.

I know this may sound silly but im planning to start DIY hrt soon and i havent seen anyone who has been on DIY hrt talk about there progress and physical changes and stuff and would like to know if there the same changes as prescribed hrt and would be really helpful if a trans man could talk about his changes (because im going on testosterone) trans females are much appreciated aswell ^^

and if there is anyone here doing DIY hrt and has been on it for a while, were do you get it and do you still do the regular blood test that other trans people do on prescribed hrt

I see most stores use crypto as payment, but I have no experience in it whatsoever. I found this store that a lot of people say is legit and they take creditcard. would that be safe and legit to buy from? are there any risks that come with potentially using creditcard instead of crypto?

ive been on T 100mg for 4 months. im seeing progress definitely. however there’s always that feeling of it not being enough. would it be safe to up my dosage or take other things that would enhance my look, compared to other i still look very young and very small, im 17 an 5’4 65kg. i am trying to be consistent in the gym currently also.

I found out my testosterone is 5.1. very low I was gunna start test 300mg anyway when I lose weight from retaturtide. because getting in shape has been my goal always. test E 300 has worked amazingly for all my friends who use it on first cycles. but I'm just wondering because my doctor has prescribed me testosterone gel. can I take test 300 after gel or should I wait until I lose wait and just start the test or could I do my TRT first then test or is it better to wait for to start test then once I'm done a few blast and cruises start the gel. Please no idiot answers on telling me I should use steroids I'm 26 year old man I know it may come from a good place buty life so yea thanks.

I have a really bad endocrinologist that doesn't listen to me at all but I am a month from 18 so it's in my parents control. He prescribed me 20mg t gel (THAT MOTHERFUCKER I ASKED FOR NORMAL DOSE SPECIFICALLY AND HE REFUSED). I took 40mg for a month anyway but i knew since I started that gel wasn't gonna do shit for me (my hEDS makes it not absorb well) and my levels were 3 (the lowest possible, obviously : D ). I asked for weekly shots at my next appointment and I got yelled at for even wanting shots in the first place but I managed to make him prescribe me nebido (1000mg every 3 months). From what i read online after 6-8 weeks I'll feel like shit and here's the thing - I still have some tgel left. Like half a bottle. Is it safe to start applying it that last month on nebido? I'll be 18 then and I'll change that doctor but still idk tbh im just scared of low levels and not passing especially that I'm starting college in the fall and I wanted to go stealth, I already "pass" except for my voice.

im 16 turning 17 and i mostly done research on bodybuilding forums where its men taking roids so alot of them use aromasin to stop the testostorone they take from converting to estrogen, i was wondering if i should take that since im afab

okay so i got my gel in the mail today, i thought it was gonna be in tubes with lids for some reason, but i was wrong and they’re single use packets. each packet is 10mg of T, should i just use the whole packet? im trying to microdose here to get results slower due to living situation and am just completely confused. i’ll definitely be doing injections next time but for now what do i do?

I have a three week trip (US domestic flight) and ofc i need to bring my tgel with me. Im not sure if i’ll get it confiscated because i am a minor and have no prescription.

Does anyone know how to bring this on a flight with no hassle and raised suspicions by tsa? Please and thank you

I'm on diy for 7 months on T gel 16.2 mg/g.

2 pumps each day, each pump is around 20.25 mg. Never had a blood test before, recently last month a doc did tested my blood these are the results:

Estradiol 41.7 pg/ml

Testosteron 3.46 ng/ml

Free androgen 30.32 index

They did wrote on it that i can go up to 3 pumps each day. What do y'all think? I'm feeling pretty good, health wise.

Had a hysterectomy in 2024.

I've had to go off t since last Friday due to my supply running out. I don't have any money to purchase any since I thought that my re-fill would arrive by now because I placed my order back in may. My period hasn't come back yet which is good but I'm wondering how long it will take until it does and when my body will re-feminise

saw owner saying high concentration vials are not recommended bc of high PIP but are there any other risks/should i definitely not be using them? i have been using a 300mg/mL TE vial for a few injections and haven’t felt any difference (was using 200mg/mL TC before)

I’m currently 3 weeks on t and wondering if and when people had change in the size/density un breast tissue. Im a 30DD and relatively skinny but my chest doesnt ever seem to shrink no matter how lean I get. I’m really hoping testsoterone changes it.
At what time did people notice a difference?

In 15 turning 16 in like Oct and I'm like finished or very close to already finishing puberty and my dose is 50mg I do injections subq once a week and I'm like 118lbs if that matters but so far yet I haven't gotten any bottom growth or I don't notice anything down there but my odor did change significantly like I don't even smell like pre t me anymore and my voice just slight change but everything else idrk know but my throat hasn't really felt like a cold or hurting or anything since the first week, and I'm like 3 weeks on T rn and if I don't get any changes in 2-3months should I up my dose to like 60mg-65mg? Or what dose

there are a lot of power outages too, if the fridge doesnt work what else could work for 12+ hours
