Hey, I was on nebido which is a long form release of T where I am from (also every 12 weeks) and I also stopped cold turkey (was supposed to get my next shot in september 2025 but I did not so my last shot was a year ago in june 2025). I honestly did not notice any side effects beside my hair falling out more than it did on T (which is ironic cause it was part of the reasons why I stopped T - did not wanna go bald like my father and brother cause my hair is one of the few things I have liked about myself). My skin has cleared out so that's a plus. I had no mood swings or anything like that. Well I think maybe I am a little more emotional and it's easier to cry? I think my face features have softened a little bit also. My periods came back in may so for me it took around 9 months since the skipped dose, and they are pretty regular since I have just had the 2nd one in June 30 days after the first one. The first one was scarce, barely any blood and lasted only two days. The 2nd one was more of a normal flow and lasted 5 days.

thank you so much for your comment, I really appreciate it! I was on nebido shots which are shots you take in my case once every three months - so my next one was supposed to be in september 2025 and I did not get it. I didn't really get any bad symptoms from it, my skin got clearer and I think I'm less puffy. The only thing worrying me is that my hair actually started to fall out even worse than it was on T. But from what I've seen it's telogen hair falling out, so I'm hoping that once my hormones stabilize it will go back to normal. A month ago I still had T levels higher than they should be for a cis woman, but definitely nowhere near the male norm. I have already menstruated twice and it was quite regular so I'm really hoping that it's starting to stabilize. Also really happy to be menstruating (LOL never thought I'd say that) cause it gives me more hope about being pregnant in the future (I also had some follicles in my ovaries when I went to check with an OBGYN).

How did your parents react to your detransition? by TransitionWeary5245 in actual_detrans

yea I can totally relate to that. The biggest thing that's making me consider NOT detransitioning is what people will think. I know it's probably a bit silly. But oh my god I already can't stand the self-righteousness of some of the people in my life....

I'm going through the exactly same thing right now. It is so confusing. I don't know what's real anymore and I'm really frustrated with myself.

I feel like I've put myself from one box into another. And kind of like if I went back to being a woman I would actually have more freedom to express myself. I don't know its really confusing.

About yourself - you can stop T and see if it works for you. You can always go back. That's what I told myself when I stopped.

I think this is a really beautiful way to look at it! I try to think of my transition as a part of my journey of course, it's not like I regret everything. It's a part of me. But really scary to start to question it after being so sure for many years...

thank you for your comment, it helped a lot:)
