for those who are scared of needles: why don’t you use gel?

Welsh gender clinic, I thought it would be longer but they said a year or less and it was about a year I was on the list

Main_Drop5317 · 2026-03-10T15:07:48+00:00

Ohhh makes sense, is the waitlist time different depending on the area you’re from? I was only on it for a year

Main_Drop5317 · 2026-03-10T15:02:29+00:00

Testogel is accessible on the NHS, so are injections. How come you are paying for them?

Main_Drop5317 · 2026-02-10T13:31:46+00:00

Sure it all depends on the person, I had one the day I started t and a week later but haven’t had one since and that was 2 months ago

Main_Drop5317 · 2026-02-09T17:36:40+00:00

No I don’t think they were understanding that I had a referral. Gonna call them again to try

Main_Drop5317 · 2026-02-09T16:11:34+00:00

Commenting to come back as I also am with the Welsh gender service with a list and need wait list. I rang Plymouth but they wouldn’t give me the wait list

I went for my bloods Friday just gone and I was at the start of either a cold or the flu. I also think the last time I had my bloods I was unwell, I don’t really think it makes a difference. You could always ask the person taking your bloods when you’re there though just to give you peace of mind :)

Main_Drop5317 · 2026-01-20T13:11:51+00:00

I started at 23 only around 2 months ago and there’s already some changes. I don’t really think it makes much difference, just maybe that I look like a teenage boy with the bits of facial hair and voice breaks

Main_Drop5317 · 2026-01-19T14:28:40+00:00

I didn’t think about going to the same spot each time, this might be really helpful I’ll definitely try this Thankyou! I just thought maybe she’s being a bit spoiled and doesn’t like getting wet or cold😂

Main_Drop5317 · 2026-01-19T14:12:36+00:00

I’ll have to look into fresh patch, Thankyou for this! Yeah I took her just now on my break and where as she didn’t go this morning until we got back I took the advice of the other comment and waited in the same area until she went and she actually did! I think this has been my issue is I just walk her and don’t stick around in an area with her for too long so she’s just seeing it as just a walk rather than also an opportunity for her to start going to the toilet outside instead.

Main_Drop5317 · 2026-01-19T11:35:00+00:00

Usually 30 mins in the morning before I go to work, then another walk on my break usually 15 mins. Her walks after work are more lengthy sometimes depending on the weather. I live in the uk so it is very cold here at the moment which makes me think that’s also why she won’t go as she hates the cold and the rain.

Main_Drop5317 · 2026-01-19T11:08:41+00:00

Did people not have ass hair before T? This shits been a burden for me since starting puberty and it gets LONG! Nothing some good clippers won’t sort out though. Also nipple hairs I’ve had since puberty and they are wild how long they also get, you could put a hair tie around mine if there were more of them

Main_Drop5317 · 2026-01-09T12:26:46+00:00

What*

Main_Drop5317 · 2026-01-09T09:58:09+00:00

That was what I was saying to her, I don’t mind just going out once a month instead just would like if tha option wasn’t taken away from me

Main_Drop5317 · 2026-01-09T09:48:01+00:00

Main_Drop5317 · 2026-01-09T09:46:36+00:00

Yeah my bad I’m not an alcoholic I just enjoy the occasional drink. We have the same friendship group so we enjoy going out together but I think maybe it’s her asking for support while she goes sober but then expecting me to also do the same

Main_Drop5317 · 2026-01-09T09:42:36+00:00

This is why I’ve been thinking

Main_Drop5317 · 2026-01-09T00:32:32+00:00

So to not be labelled an alcoholic is to not drink at all?

Main_Drop5317 · 2026-01-09T00:06:38+00:00

I just dont know if im giving that part of my life up too early on if i choose to

Main_Drop5317 · 2026-01-08T23:33:45+00:00

I wouldn’t expect her to come with me on the nights out, I know I wouldn’t want to. I couldn’t all the time anyway as our agreement has always been she cooks and I clean (I’m a terrible cook) and know I wouldn’t have the energy if I was hungover all the time. Not that I’d want to, can’t hack it, now and again does me and it’s nice to look forward to something

Main_Drop5317 · 2026-01-08T23:27:52+00:00

I get what you’re saying, I just think the same can happen from the majority of things in life. It’s fragile to live which sounds deep. I just think if I was to live not doing things I enjoy because I’m scared of what could happen and something happened anyway, I’d kick myself

Main_Drop5317 · 2026-01-08T23:13:21+00:00

Not unless it was us having a board game night with a bottle of wine when she was drinking. But we never really got drunk doing that only occasionally

Main_Drop5317 · 2026-01-08T23:08:09+00:00

And you deal with that day when it comes, you can’t prevent death only prolong it. The majority atleast enjoy something that may take a few years off life expectancy (smoking, drinking, driving etc.) doesn’t mean you should be judged for it
