sometimes you really are severely deficient in the Vitamin and that vitamin is HRT

[entropy-sea-system]

General psa to not just go for natural supplements claiming to boost testosterone or estrogen without looking into whats in it and what the ingredients actually do, because a lot of them will just boost LH and increase the more predominant hormone in your body or depend on what gonads you have. Im not sure how it would vary for different intersex conditions but unless its a drug that actually increases estrogen or testosterone or progesterone etc. (or is straight up the hormone) for anyone with any organs, its not going to give you your desired result.

Do research into what a drug or supplement does before taking it. Chances are, some boost hormones depending on the organs in your body and are not inherently masculinising or feminising(whichever effect preferred), and may have other unrelated effects on the body. I feel like people often ignore that herbal supplements can cause harm too, if taken improperly or with no knowledge of what they do to the body.

[qvietspvce]

my blood work came back and everything is okay(ish). my testosterone levels are fine, they’re in the expected range for being at the end of my loading regime for the nebido so that means i can go ahead with my testosterone injection on thursday

(it was originally meant to be today but my testosterone hadn’t come into the pharmacy AND i needed to wait on my blood work results)

My doctor ordered me some lab tests and I've been panickedly stuffing food in my mouth so she won't look at my results at our next appointment and be like "how the Fuck are you deficient in every vitamin"

Ten years of transitioning 2013 to 2023

The way my facial hair is just now starting to fill in 9 years on testosterone and one year post hysterectomy.

My medical transition has unfortunately not been linear. My early medical care was handled by a negligent egotistical man that wound up losing his medical license and the impact that had on my body was a lot. After three years of my testosterone converting into estrogen as a result of being massively overdosed my body fortunately right as my hemoglobin was rising exponentially past dangerous levels I had an autoimmune reaction which allowed for doctors to take action preventing a stroke. Unfortunately, I now have an autoimmune condition, chronic pain, and mobility issues.

Sometimes when people hear that they ask if I regret my transition and are confused when I say I don’t. My transition wasn’t the problem. Testosterone wasn’t the problem. The fact my levels were so wildly unmanaged was. The fact I went to “doctor” Norman Barwin was.

I regret not educating myself about where my levels should be, not testing often enough, and trusting a old man that my social worker (who’d been working with him for years) told me “made a mistake in either cleaning or labeling his sperm and his patients sperm a couple times over the course of fifty years” (which actually turned out to be a couple hundred times). He also just blatantly cheated in the Boston marathon and people didn’t take that into account as a reflection of his character when the initial cases were investigated. I didn’t know that and I could have learned more had I screened the doctor I was being sent to with a simple google search- but I didn’t do that. I trusted my social worker and I trusted my “doctor”.

Learn to advocate for yourself. Educate yourself about your levels. Get tested every 3-6 months the first couple years on T and 6 months to a year if you’ve gone years with it stable. Don’t assume you’re fine because you feel fine. I didn’t feel anything was wrong until the day before I collapsed. Learn from my mistakes.

I'm just thinking about how much more stable I've made my joints over the past year. Imagine how much stronger I could become once my intestinal lining heals and I can, like, digest and metabolize food normally
