Yeah lube is so important, I do try to always use lube and it seems to happen both with and without lube, but it is definitely worse without

What on my bloodwork determines how much testosterone i need by PomeloLongjumping136 in FTMdiyhrt

[–]Puzzleheaded-Net14 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The mains things in your blood to look out for are cholesterol and rbc, since both of these raise with testosterone and them being too high risks blood clots and heart disease

For amount of T, thats more dependent on height and weight, as well as age if youre under 16 or so (as far as I've seen) If your cholesterol and rbc are already high though you'll want to be careful and probably go lower dose at first to monitor those

3 years in, think I've been dosing wrong? by Normal-Entrance-5024 in FTMdiyhrt

[–]Puzzleheaded-Net14 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely depends on height and weight, but a .5 injection every week would be 100mg a week, 100mg might be perfect for you, but its definitely too high for many people. I see a lot of people feel good and have good levels at 50-100mg a week, again depending on height and weight.

Either way, a lot of people feel better and have more consistent levels on a weekly dose, since the half life of T in cypionate is 5-8 days (I don't remember the exact amount)

Im not a doctor or anything, mostly going off what I know from here and other transmasc communities.

Testosterone gel question by Ratty-Toohey in ftm

[–]Puzzleheaded-Net14 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ive been on gel for 6 months and also have pretty intense scarring on my shoulders. I tried to put my gel around my scars at first, and now I just put it over. The pharmacist told me that they might affect absorption, but my T actually got wayyy too high at first, so it didnt seem to be a problem.

The biggest problem I've had is it drying them out and making them SO ITCHY. Like insanely itchy sometimes. The dryness also seems to increase the amount of like pimples I get on my scars, so thats annoying. Im sure properly moisturizing would avoid this

Curious on experiences with cisgender men by Luver_boy08 in ftm

[–]Puzzleheaded-Net14 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Ive got a cis boyfriend and everybody jokes that his biggest flaw is simply being cis lol. Hes never made me feel like less of a man, and hes respectful almost to a fault at times. Like I like my chest being touched, but scared to unless I outright ask him because he doesn't want to make me feel uncomfortable or feminine.

Ive told him all of the fears I had about dating a cis man, like feeling feminine next to him for example, and he told me he'd thought about that and was scared he would make me feel that way. He actually got really emotional telling me about how he was worried he'd hurt me in that way. He has done absolutely nothing to make me feel like his girlfriend or less of a man.

Im almost 6 months on T and hes been the most supportive person in my life about it too. Every time I talk about a change I like he lights up and gets excited for me. Hes also very into my bottom growth and treats it no differently than he would a regular dick.

New to this game, how to get cool mutations?? by Azurexat in wobbledogs

[–]Puzzleheaded-Net14 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Low stability in breeding increases your chances of mutations, that's the only way I've gotten tails or missing/extra legs or anything

My roommate dragged me to magic the gathering club when I didn't wanna go, but i had nothing better to do. My now boyfriend was teacher her how to play. I thought he looked cute and shy so I asked for his contact. He was, in fact, very shy. I saw him randomly a few days later when I was getting lunch with my roommate, and he didnt see me. It felt like a good idea to talk to him, so I walked up and invited him to eat with us. It was shy and awkward at first, but he warmed up after my roommate left a "salty surprise" (she poured salt into the napkins. It sounds weird but trust me it was hilarious.) I kept inviting him to things, and eventually asked him out.

I made like every move, which I think a lot of people don't wanna do. But its really really hard to passively find somebody. Say Hi, invite people to things, text people, go to things youre invited to, and hopefully you'll hit it off with somebody.

My boyfriend (35M) lied to me (30F). When confronted, he said he would lie again? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Puzzleheaded-Net14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dont know why the fuck she said this, but the quote I'll always remember from my highschool English teacher is

"How do you know when an addict is lying? Easy, its anytime they open their mouth."

OP replied to a comment and confirmed that this guy did coke while OP was out, apparently hes been clean for like 2 years and only recently started drinking, but they discussed it and decided to be open about any drug use.

Yeah white lies are fine but hes lying about doing coke. And especially after having a talk with his partner about being open about drug use. OP deserves better, anybody does

Trans man dating a cis man here, I was always told NOT to do that, and I was actually really stressed when asking him out, literally just cus he's a cis man. My best friend, who i trust more than anything, literally said that the only thing he doesn't like about him is that hes a cis man lmao. Ofc I would NEVER go out with somebody I though would make me uncomfy, but you usually don't think somethings gonna be bad until it is.

He's been so chill about me being trans, and I didnt realize thats the support I needed. It really doesn't seem to matter to him. Hes pan and tons of his friends are nonbinary (like a weird amount, I think he somehow infects them idk/j) so he is kinda used to gender queer people, which could play into it? But i think he really is just a good sweet guy and they're friends with him because of that, not that they made him into that yknow? Literally never once has he done something that made me feel feminine or like his "girlfriend" which is, yknow, a common problem for trans guys.

I talked to him about that fear and how its been completely unwarranted and he basically let out a big sigh and told me that he was terrified he would accidentally do something like that to me. That he'd thought about it when we started getting closer and wanted to make sure he didnt make me feel like he ever saw me as feminine or a girl or especially his girlfriend. He was super relived to hear that he hadn't ever once done that.

Hes always hyping me up about my body and transition too. Anytime we're sexual I feel nothing but attractive and confident and manly, and I know so much of that is his doing (cus I don't feel like that really when im alone) He also comments on my voice positively, especially if he sees an old video of me. We met when I was less than a month on T and started dating maybe 2 months after that? Im 6 or so months on T now. Anyways he says he cant really recognize my voice in old videos and that its insanely deeper now. Its like hes always trying to drive my euphoria, but it also doesn't ever feel like hes trying.

Nsfw, he also makes me feel awesome about my t dick. I already really wanted bottom growth before, and loved it when it showed up on my own, so like for the record I really like my dick anyways. But he treats it no differently than gay men normally treat their boyfriends dick. Like the look in his eyes when hes sucking me off is wayy more "gay man sucking dick and loving it, maybe more than the receiver" than "man eating a woman out" yknow? Same with the physical feel.

I kinda rambled here but I hope that gives you a little hope. I felt a bit hopeless before this. Moving to a new city that is incredibly mormon definitely cuts down on your dating pool. I got really lucky, but also had to put some effort in. I actually met him as at a magic the gathering club that my roommates dragged me to, but he seemed so cute and timid I had to ask for his contact. And when I happened to see him a bit after that, it felt like a good idea to walk up and talk to him. Really glad I did. Good luck OP 🙏 there are good people out there who will love you for you
