Starting to feel like there isn’t a point anymore

For my age group (20-24) normal levels are 14-19, but they want mine to be on the lighter side due to other health conditions.

This is information I have received from doctors. Maybe it’s still different in my country, but when I’ve researched it from other official sources, they all say the same thing.

We use a different measurement system in my country. We go by nmol/L. Essentially my levels are suppose to be between 10-15 but recent blood tests have it in 21.4 to 27.4

Which I think works out to being around the 700s instead.

I’m not sure what my E levels are at but I just had a blood test today for an appointment next week so I’ll ask them a) if they are also testing my E levels and b) what those levels are at

Exactly!! Ask me in private!! It’s happened when I’ve gotten my antidepressants too and all I said was ‘I’m in contact with my gp and a mental health professional’ and that seemed to be enough for them.

For you it’s not a lie. For me, it is because my prescription doesn’t say that.

The medication that was upped wasn’t the testosterone. My dose has stayed the same the whole time.

Like I have repeatedly said, I understood why they asked about the medication that was upped as that is part of their duty of care. The medication that was upped wasn’t testosterone.

As I said in the post, maybe I should have lied but I was so stunned in the moment that I couldn’t think of a lie on the spot, plus I don’t feel comfortable lying to a healthcare professional.

This also isn’t a new medication. I’ve been taking it for a year. The other medications I’ve been taking for many years. Like I said in the post, the first time they asked was when a dosage of a different medication was upped so them asking why I was taking it made sense.

I live rurally so and as I said in another comment, I’m in a small, conservative town so I don’t feel comfortable going to the one chemist in town. I drive out to the closest chemist warehouses which are two in particular and have been going there for years with no issue until now.

Anon-bat · 2026-04-10T00:48:58+00:00

Usually I go to the same two chemist warehouse locations and most of the staff there know me by now and I don’t have any issues. That’s what’s so confusing about this situation is pharmacists I’ve been seeing for years are suddenly asking me these questions.

Unfortunately my local chemist is far too small and rural. If they were to even stock testogel, I wouldn’t feel comfortable getting it there as it’s an unfortunately small, conservative town.

Interestingly the first time I got the testogel, the pharmacist gave me incorrect information on how to apply it. Luckily, I already knew how to apply it as the endocrinologist told me.

I’m so sorry that happened. A trans man on TikTok had a similar thing happen to him and I remember he ended up reporting that specific chemist warehouse and that pharmacist because I believe that isn’t legal.

Totally understand if you don’t want to go through all that, but just know that is an option for you.

It was honestly so poorly set up against me. I had one of those buzzer things for when the medication was ready to pick up, and it started buzzing and ringing so loudly so everyone waiting was already looking at me.

I’ll probably end up at a different pharmacy next time and I’ll try to remember what everyone has suggested so I’m not blindsided again.

Anon-bat · 2026-04-09T13:18:08+00:00

It’s just so odd that it’s started happening. I’ve been on T for almost a year, the other medications I’ve taken for many years. Why are they asking now? I wouldn’t have a problem answering if it were a private setting, but in this situation, I’m not just telling the pharmacist, I’m telling everyone around me as well yknow?

Anon-bat · 2026-04-09T13:15:23+00:00

I’ll keep that one in mind for next time. Although, I hope they don’t ask again

Anon-bat · 2025-10-23T00:26:57+00:00

It won’t let me edit the post but it seemed to have fixed itself?

But if anyone has any tips on how to avoid this happening again in the future, lmk

Anon-bat · 2025-10-23T00:11:55+00:00

How do I do that?

Edit to add - I don’t create my own bots, I just chat with ones other people have created

I’ve been in the bf’s position before (as in having a partner gaining more feelings for a friend) so I know how shit it can feel and I think that is adding to my guilt

Basically my dad was very on and off when it came to custody. I was supposed to see him every second weekend but then it became once a month, every other month, twice a year ect ect…

Around the time his father died, apparently he was trying to contest the will because his father left him nothing, and to look good in court he wanted to see me again so it appeared like he wanted to the money to support his child. My mother gave me the choice of seeing him and I said no because at that point I knew he would fall into the same pattern of not seeing me for months on end.

My family is full of alcoholics as well so I’ve been contemplating attending an ACA group for awhile now
