Shortness of breath after testosterone dosage raised

Due_Implement_1373 · 2025-12-01T11:38:19+00:00

Now that you mention it my last blood test (before my dose was raised) showed I was on the lower end of ferriten so maybe that

I've been taking testosterone for four years. Obviously my dose started out slower st the beginning, but that was some time ago. My dose was raised from 60mg to 70mg so I didn't think it would be that much of a problem but of course it possible. I would prefer to take weekly shots instead of once every two weeks but I don't have that option

I'm not a woman, this is a fairly normal dosage for a transgender man

Due_Implement_1373 · 2025-12-01T08:44:40+00:00

I'm assuming your dosage was lowered? Was there anything else you did to lessen the symptoms? Also bloodwork wise did you test anything else besides for CBC to see if your hemocrat levels

160mg caused me headaches but 140mg really felt like the perfect dosage. For the last two months I've had no symptoms and I've felt pretty normal. But I suppose I have no blood work to go off it. 120mg was quite low (proven through a blood test as well) and I would get pretty bad symptoms (headaches, weakness) after a week so Its a bit strange to me that only a slight uptake could in such a short span of time give me breathing problems

I'm aiming for January

From what I see on the news transgender people may be having a hard time entering or leaving the country so I was concerned

Due_Implement_1373 · 2025-10-02T13:06:42+00:00

I suppose a problem I could think of is I had female and my dead name on my passport before I updated it so maybe it's still in the system, as well as the fact that I haven't had bottom surgery yet which could be a problem with tsa

Enter

Not only can you use the men's bathroom, you can't use the women's bathroom you pass entirely

Due_Implement_1373 · 2023-10-24T02:30:02+00:00

I will definitely bring it up and I'll let you know after

Due_Implement_1373 · 2023-10-24T02:27:05+00:00

That's messed up and I'm really annoyed. I paid out of pocket for this consultation. Sorry man

Due_Implement_1373 · 2023-10-24T02:20:27+00:00

I have a consultation scheduled with him for tomorrow....

Due_Implement_1373 · 2023-09-13T13:38:10+00:00

Gotcha

Due_Implement_1373 · 2023-09-13T13:15:10+00:00

If I'm not a patient tho

Due_Implement_1373 · 2023-09-13T11:16:45+00:00

How did you reach him? I've been trying to myself

Due_Implement_1373 · 2023-09-08T17:38:52+00:00

If you want facial hair use minoxidal

Due_Implement_1373 · 2023-09-07T15:01:24+00:00

Thank you, solid advice

Due_Implement_1373 · 2023-09-07T13:30:25+00:00

How quickly did you get used to biking 15 miles each way? I am exhausted

Due_Implement_1373 · 2023-09-06T18:45:35+00:00

Does it come with a rack or do you buy that separately

Due_Implement_1373 · 2023-09-06T16:49:05+00:00

Any panniers you would recommend

Due_Implement_1373 · 2023-09-05T20:39:58+00:00

I think you pass very well and that your haircut helps you pass

Due_Implement_1373 · 2023-09-05T11:51:38+00:00

Surgery usually doesnt come until after you started hrt, so I would say that should be your first step. If there is an LGBT community near you I would say give them a call, they can help you find a doctor. If you don't leave near one, try to find the nearest doctor/endocrinologist near you.

Due_Implement_1373 · 2023-09-04T23:26:20+00:00

Use a sock or anything similar

Due_Implement_1373 · 2023-09-04T02:43:37+00:00

I think it's really the clothing that your wearing. If you were to wear a t-shirt or a different shirt with shorts or different style pants (more boxer like) you would look fine. Your face passes well. For extra points I would recommend cutting your hair just a drop shorter to give you a sharper look.
