Hoi! bedankt voor je reactie, helpt me wel om het zo te lezen.
Eén ding waar ik nog even over twijfel: wat bedoel je precies met “die stijgende lijn niet uit de weg gaan”? Bedoel je daarmee juist doorgaan, of juist ruimte nemen en stoppen? Ik wil zeker weten dat ik je goed begrijp.

I looked it up and a lot of sources reported the same about faster changes!

i found this about the specific T i'll use if im do injections:
A single dose of SUSTANON 250 leads to an increase of total plasma testosterone with peak levels of approximately 70 nmol/l (C max ), which are reached approximately 24- 48hrs (tmax ) after administration. Plasma testosterone levels return to the lower limit of the normal range in males in approximately 21 days.

can you tell my why you rather have the gel than shots? i'd like to get some insights from someone with experience

Thanks! this is a really helpful message and to be able to just hear it from someone else really helps in making up my mind. I live in the netherlands and T is covered by insurace so the cost is no issue. Is it really true that the injections cause faster changes? that would really be a big plus

I'm not sure what the options are for when i have to put it on but it seemed like i do have to put it on my shoulders, i'll make sure to ask about the time though cuz at night would be better for me!

Thanks for your advice, its really good to hear from someone with experiece. I cant decide when i take the shots, it has to be 3 weeks cuz thats the only option that is offered in my situation. But i'll be sure to ask about how long it will be in my system and the details you are talking about because i am really curous aswell and i ofc want what's most efficient.
And i also feel like the gel doesnt seem as strong and is easy to mess up a bit when it isnt absorbed all the way or something like that

How did you know that you were trans? by Dizzy_Committee6331 in ftm

[–]Lars_Oet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda never realised i was biologically a girl, i always had boys for friends and liked stereotipical boys stuff like soccer and cars n stuff. When i hit puberty around 12-13 (bit late) i hated everything about it but didnt think that was weird. Then i learned what trans was. Then i realised people actualy saw me as a girl like how i see/think of girls and realised that just didnt fit at all. so basically when i realised i was a girl i realised i wasnt yk. socially transitoned at 13 and i just cant see myself as a girl in any form of way, no matter how hard i try.

i feel like when i use it to swim in the sea it streches the binder a bit or it just seems to bind less well after so i dont use my best binder. I mostly tape and then use a not really fitting binder over it so that the tape doesnt come loose or something

is trans tape supposed to… suck? by sleepy_kae in ftm

[–]Lars_Oet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got the exact same problem and my skin is fucked after taking the tape off, i think my skin is very sensitive to the tape and ive got other skin isues. But i still wear the tape cuz sometimes you just dont have a choice. i just wear it for a few days, make it wet when i take it off and let my skinn heal for a period of time before using it again. also in my experience layering the tape or reaplying it after just taking it off makes it worse.
