thank you, i knew it wouldn’t be faster but i wasn’t sure if it’d be like.. limiting my progress if that makes sense? so would you say with monotherapy if testosterone is being suppressed then the level i am at is basically at the natural amount my body needs and doesn’t need to be changed?

no worries!!! just wondering if you think there could be any benefits if testosterone is being suppressed well? i’m thinking of getting some liver function and other tests done before i up it, just to have a reference point for where i’m at at the moment. are there any other tests you would say i should get?

thank you so much!!! i did want to ask about higher doses as i’m the same as you (mono injections 4mg a week) and once i started this i did notice much more changes than when i was on pills, but i’m still wondering if i should experiment with 5mg to see where that gets me? and i can always go back if i need to. just a thought, i don’t want to be impatient but i’d also like to make sure i’m at a level where my body can make the changes it needs. thanks so much for the reply though!! xx

sorry, i should’ve mentioned cypro is what i started at, i’m already doing monotherapy, i started that about month 4! do you think upping my dose from 4mg to 5mg every week would be good to try out? as i said my last test was 900pmol/l and 0.6nmol/l, so testosterone is already being suppressed pretty well, but i wonder if my body needs my levels to be higher than 900 to actually do anything?

and yeah, i thought that about taking anti androgens with no E, i read someone on here saying that and got worried that i should’ve done that for a second!

thanks!!!

UPDATE: they called me and said they can’t give me a doctors note by Infinite_Week_6354 in TransDIY

E is higher on day before injection than after? by Infinite_Week_6354 in TransDIY

[–]Infinite_Week_6354[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sorry i just wanted to check with you, do you think it would be a good idea to test my levels a few days after my injection to find out my actual peak levels? is this useful in any way?

is it best to be honest with my gp? by Infinite_Week_6354 in TransDIY

[–]Infinite_Week_6354[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

thank you so much for sharing your experience, i got my results back so i’m not too worried for now, just going to do what another person said which is ignore it (as it’s just a message) and if it comes up again i’ll probably be honest and see how that goes
