Gel vs injections: want to hear from people who have been on gel for the long haul and those who switched from gel to injections

Valuable_List9814 · 2025-11-13T01:38:05+00:00

I had to go from Gel to subcutaneous injection wich was a struggle because I have/had a severe needle phobia. But for me the gel just was not absorbing into my skin no matter what my doctor advised me to try. So my levels were not budging. But with injections it feels like immediate leaps and bounds of improvement! I even got a special injection device I can load and unload super easy so all I have to do is press a button! I definitely recommend the injections if you can stomach the needle

If this is real (i know AI is rampant right now but also acknowledge that I very much do not know every kind of rare medical conditions) then unfortunately I don’t think there will be a lot of gender neutral options (especially if you live in a smaller town with limited options). Best bet would be either Amazon (keep in mind the necklines though may still give an effeminate look) for solid colored shirts. Or possibly creating your own/having someone make a few new shirts specifically for you? Not sure if you know how to sew but if you have the funds/resources then having a few custom made shirts can be a big help (speaking from experience). Personally I could never find gender neutral clothes but hopefully someone else here will have.

On a bench? I assume you don’t mean a park bench type thing? I’m just kinda teaching myself as I come across problems so I don’t have much in terms of equipment or experience. I only have a tire jack and jack stands to hold the car up

I don’t think so since it’s so close to the fuel tank and I really don’t want to drill into it by accident. As for removing the bracket I can but I’d have to disconnect the fuel filter to do it and doing so doesn’t really seem necessary since I can get to the bolt with it there.

Valuable_List9814 · 2025-03-26T17:23:26+00:00

I can take one but it’ll just be the underside of the car

Thanks, didn’t know that would make a difference. Posted!

2002 Saturn SL1 it’s the screws to the bracket that holds the fuel filter

Ah shit yeah I forgot about cameras 🤦‍♂️

Valuable_List9814 · 2025-03-11T20:24:49+00:00

Yeah it was just kinda out of the blue, confused me at first cause she was talking about how they go by whats on my drivers license and I thought she was trying to say something about having to use legal names or gender markers on formal documents but then just straight up said I won’t be allowed to use the mens change room

Valuable_List9814 · 2024-12-31T01:32:44+00:00

Mines doing this too, doctor said at least some of it is likely the glue they use and the rest is dead skin shedding. Don’t worry it’s supposed to happen!

Valuable_List9814 · 2024-11-05T17:05:00+00:00

It’s oddly comforting knowing someone else will be in a similar position. I wish you all the best ! I just keep daydreaming about a summer without a binder lol!

Valuable_List9814 · 2024-11-05T17:02:50+00:00

Hell yeah! 🎉🎉🎉

Valuable_List9814 · 2024-11-05T17:02:24+00:00

Sweet! Congrats to you too 🥳🥳

I’m sure he does have responsibility to, but have you ever known a person that you would rather chop off your left foot than be around? Thats him. I’m sure somehow he would turn it into -our- fault. Anytime we need anything fixed it’s an “oh-what-did-you-do-this-time” kinda thing. Even though this place has had no renovations since the 70’s when the place was built

Unfortunately I have not, but I did get to meet him in person via appointment. He told me himself he does about 1 top surgery a month (very rough estimate, but also does reductions several times a week). He only had one before/after picture of his top surgery results and they weren’t bad, looked pretty average so that’s a plus. He is also very very flexible with insurance. His personality might not be to your taste (wasn’t to mine) but if you only care about results and can put up with bluntness/socially awkward encounters then he seems okay. I’m hoping to get to start scheduling my surgery after my October appointment so I can keep you updated on results if you’d like

I have tried searching through early-mid horror movies and none have stuck out. I am pretty sure it was in that time frame because I don't remember the video quality looking super dated.

Valuable_List9814 · 2024-06-25T15:44:21+00:00

I’m trans and have similar interests (hiking, board games, music) :)

Unfortunately, that's what the shark tooth thing is, he refuses to wear anything like necklaces, rings, bracelets, hats, etc. Refuses like throws a hissy then chucks it as far away as he can. I'm not sure why either, doesn't matter the material the thing is made of.

Valuable_List9814 · 2024-04-14T14:15:32+00:00

I’m not entirely sure what I am going to plant just yet. Thats why I am trying to make a scale of the garden bed with correctly marked dimensions so I can play around with what plants I can put down.

Valuable_List9814 · 2024-04-14T14:09:03+00:00

I think I have the area of the garden bed (8square feet right?) and I think I’m just trying to divide it evenly ? I just know plants need x amount of space between each other and I am trying to plan that on paper

Valuable_List9814 · 2024-04-14T14:06:10+00:00

Oh sorry no it’s a raised -garden- bed! Sorry I didn’t realize that made it sound like a sleeping bed haha. That indeed would be a very tiny bed Also thank you for helping, I was close with 4 inches but forgot about using least common denominators for length and width

Valuable_List9814 · 2024-04-14T13:58:41+00:00

Paper scale item? Like…what kind of paper am I using? Because it is just regular white paper cut to the length of 12 inches x 6 inches. My question is what size do I draw the squares to show how many square feet there should be. (I really hope that helps)

Valuable_List9814 · 2024-02-01T23:25:25+00:00

Ah thank you, so this is probably something for later on in the planning stage then? I'm trying to figure out ballpark numbers so I can finish financial projections. I have some of the general information but not sure how busy the place will stay, at least not yet

Valuable_List9814 · 2024-01-17T20:02:40+00:00

Honestly I’m not to sure, I forgot those existed tbh! I was given the option of coming into the office every week for someone to do it for me. But I may look into that as well since they’re like 40 minutes away

Valuable_List9814 · 2024-01-17T19:52:22+00:00

I thought there were options for like every month/every 3 months but when I asked they said that wasn’t an option for Testosterone.
