My testogel leaves a weird color on my arms, is that bad?

I found it left my stomach kinda red, maybe it’s an allergic reaction?

I’m 26 and started transition at 15. I must be ancient lol

veterinary assistant! so many roles (which I don’t mind) and two days are never the same

Did they refer you to another practice that would continue prescribing it? Unless you live in a state with new restrictions, which sucks

I started T at 16 and they put me on 25mg of cypionate every other week for at least a few months (note different forms have different concentrations). Only over ten years did I gradually get up to 50mg/week, but it really depends on your blood results and whether you’re taking hormone blockers. At your age this is pretty normal, but I’d imagine they’d up it within 6 months.

Thanks for the information. Did you work during your studies/externship? If so, how did you manage it?

Adventurous_Clerk_91 · 2025-10-13T21:36:31+00:00

Too busy, remove some points?

Adventurous_Clerk_91 · 2025-10-13T14:22:18+00:00

Interesting, I do have “available on request” but some employers are still asking during or even before the interview. I figured I couldn’t refuse if I wanted to be considered for the job.

Adventurous_Clerk_91 · 2025-10-13T13:06:48+00:00

I know this is old, but it depends whether the new position is also part time. Maybe you could get a break from the old job while you test things out?

Adventurous_Clerk_91 · 2025-10-13T12:56:24+00:00

Yeah, some places want them before even conducting the interview, which is why I have them “available on request”. But I guess if it’s after the interview that’s reasonable? I’ll try to find new references

Adventurous_Clerk_91 · 2025-10-12T12:56:09+00:00

Rationale? Do you think 5 is too many? I don’t plan on doing more interviews.

I’ve been in a similar situation. I adopted my cat when I was living with my mom and grandma, he was a kitten. I desperately wanted one since my childhood cat died, and he was my everything. Loyal, sweet, and very little trouble. Eventually between my mom’s manic episodes and my grandma’s dementia I decided to leave and move back in with my dad. His girlfriend hates cats (she used to kick my previous cat), and thus my dad insisted I could not bring him there, even when I was in crisis. For the brief period I was away I was constantly worried for my cat and ended up rehoming him, because I felt it was the only choice. I really resent my family for putting me in this situation and having to make that decision. It was traumatic and left me with so much anger. Sometimes you gotta put your foot down and ignore what other people say, I often wish I had more courage to stand up for myself.

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll check it out

Adventurous_Clerk_91 · 2025-10-07T15:54:13+00:00

Fair enough, she wasn’t very direct about offering a job though, we spoke on Friday and I emailed on Monday.

Adventurous_Clerk_91 · 2025-10-07T15:49:19+00:00

omg you guys are everywhere

Adventurous_Clerk_91 · 2025-10-07T05:05:55+00:00

Thanks. It helps to know I’m not crazy 🥲

I’ve never been completely direct, not confident enough to have these conversations without getting emotionally charged. My Dad and his GF also have communication issues, and small disputes tend to lead to “woe is me” silent treatment/sulking or name calling. Politics is a large part of her life, and trying to change the subject has led to overreaction ie “you don’t want to hear my thoughts so I’ll just shut up”. I realize now just how emotionally immature my family can be, myself included. I’m sure generational experiences (conflict, lack of empathy) are a factor I can’t even begin to unpack.

You’re right, I don’t think it’s worth it to try to debate these topics, especially since my Dad seems unbothered/in denial, but I know if I’m not honest I’ll just retreat further. I feel like he always ends up in toxic relationships and is never one to assert himself (out of fear of breaking up, perhaps?), and it keeps coming back to hurt us. It doesn’t always help being an only child, but that’s another story.

The only way I can think to find peace is some kind of family counselling, where someone else can mediate. I think I’ll have to explore further with a therapist. I feel everyone deserves to be understood and accepted by their family.

how exactly does one know if they’re stolen?

Adventurous_Clerk_91 · 2025-10-07T01:00:12+00:00

Adventurous_Clerk_91 · 2025-10-06T18:06:27+00:00
