As an autistic nonbinary transmasc with severe PMDD, I was really grateful to find this gem while researching radical hysterectomies. Thank you so much for your insight.

Thanks for this thoughtful approach to adaptive training. As someone recovering from surgery, these modifications make a real difference.

Hellooo 😀

Thank you very much!
It helped me a lot.
I practice reiki for myself, famliy and friends.
Now I made a new friend and we came on the topic.
So I offered to give him reiki.
Later I remembeed that he is trans and got thinking.

But my heart already told me that this isn`t an issue.
So it was just a confirmation check and it came out positive.

Thank you and much love!

Comment on Stopping T by Blue

I was on T for 3 years but decided to stop taking it two months ago due to multiple reasons. Mostly personal reasons (mental, emotional, financial, convenience), not due to any physical health problems. I got a progestin IUD to lighten/stop my menstruation, and it seems to be doing its job so far. My anxiety went back to how it was pre-T and I regained the ability to cry. Libido, anger, depression, concentration, and other feelings are unchanged. Vocal range opened up slightly but my voice is still low. Still have my facial/body hair and bottom growth. I didn’t have much fat redistribution prior to stopping T, so my body looks mostly the same, if only slightly less square. I am in decent physical health.

In reply to Stan. Hi Stan, I’m in a similar boat, and wondered how things ended up? It seems like there’s always a risk, but seems it’s a low one?

Hey, I got the tingling and numbness in all fingers and my thumb (except my pinky). My hands were swelling, particularly at night. I do hard manual work (labouring\powertools). Turned out is was carpel tunnel – having surgery to release it next month. I’ve been on Testosterone injections (levels aiming for 25 mmol) for about 3 years. Nerve conduction studies (rather than ultrasound) is the most reliable test for diagnoses.

In reply to None. That's a great question! From Planned Parenthood: "Pregnancy tests only test for the presence of a specific hormone in the body: Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG). HCG is a hormone that’s produced after a fertilized egg has implanted into the wall of the uterus. So taking T will not interfere with pregnancy tests."

I’m trans ftm and am wondering if taking testosterone affects the results of an at home pregnancy test? Thanks

So I have been cycling testosterone for three months and noticed after the first week of injections numbness in my hands. Exactly the way you are explain it it only got worse over time my dosages were high I’m at 1500 mg a week for building muscle and what his help me and it has gone away about 90% is taking iron and B12. I’m able to sleep through the night now without waking up in excruciating pain in madness. I’m done with my cycle and I rarely feel I’m still taking vitamins. It is a very common discussion in bodybuilding.
