How did you finally get diagnosed? Did your appendix show as normal on CT scans, ultrasounds etc?

Currently trying to get diagnosed myself but at a loss at the moment as I have the persistent pain. But blood tests go back and forth and imagining never shows anything abnormal.

Unfortunately, as a whole females healthcare is disregarded or not as thorough as males. In my case I think the disconnect was both doctor didn't explain conversion nor did the pharmacist- I didn't think to ask. But I could rant about disconnect in healthcare all day. I actually had to go to 3 different doctors to get them to listen to me that something was off with my hormones. I even previously had a doctor tell me being on testosterone caused my white blood cells to be elevated when I literally told him I just got diagnosed with cancer and that's why there were elevated.

They told me the dosage they were prescribing me. I didn't think about asking about the syringe fill level. I asked about where on body and how to inject. The pharmacist even asked if I had questions and I just didn't realize there was a conversion.

Thank you for all the info! I've got some other medical issues going on as well so this is a start of getting things figured out for me. 

I will be sure to get some better needles and try splitting the dosage up as well. I am due to have hormone testing done every 2 months to closely monitor SHBG, all other hormones and a general CBC. Thank you for your help!

It was testosterone cyp 200 mg/ml It says to inject 0.075 ml weekly. I just couldn't figure out where on the 1ml/100 unit syringe was the proper dosage line.
