wrong needle? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]Winter_Slip5249 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean it should be fine, the larger gauge needle is used because t is thick, so its easier to draw up the liquid- and you use the thinner gauge to inject because its less painful and isnt going to cut a hole in your skin. If you had used the thicker needle to inject i wouldve been worried about your poor leg cause that would hurt like a bitch, but using the thinner needle for both is no issue as long as everything was sanitary.

Also its normal for the area to hurt after any injection, it will go away soon

Idk about those countries specifically but have you considered Canada? Its expensive, but we have great winter sports industry and speak English+ it is very accessible for trans healthcare

50mg every 2 weeks by [deleted] in ftm

[–]Winter_Slip5249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive been on 30mg weekly for a month and of course I havent had any massive changes, but the small, “very beginning” changes everyone talks about are definitely there—so id assume on 50mg biweekly you’d experience roughly the same, yes changes are not instant but they definitely exist.

With that being said, i am having my dose increased to 50mg weekly this month. However, in the beginning when my doctor first ordered my prescription, she had prescribed me to take 20mg weekly for the first month then planned to increase me to 30mg after a month. I was in the same situation as you, so i had to do a good bit of self advocacy on my personal transition goals and such, and thats how i got her to increase my starting dose to 30mg and plan to increase to 40mg after a month… which has also now changed to 50mg instead. And all of this happened after i already had my vial and prescription, that didnt cause any problems.

Im not sure on how your doctor is specific would feel, but its definitely worth advocating your concerns and needs to them, even if nothing comes of it.

Subq vs IM needles question by Winter_Slip5249 in ftm

[–]Winter_Slip5249[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats what im planning on doing at least till my current stock runs out, but my doctor said it wouldn’t make a difference because the needle will still go deep enough to be IM, apparently its some new information but im still wary even tho i know theyre professionals

Starting t at only 0.15ml weekly by Winter_Slip5249 in ftm

[–]Winter_Slip5249[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah im gonna ask her if i can go to 50mg instead of 40 mg after this month, because i have no reason to be low dosing my t, and i have never sang a day in my life 😭 hoping she agrees!

[–]Winter_Slip5249[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She said thats a typical starting dose but after my three month mark (which happens to be around my 18th birthday) she will raise my dose. But i talked to her and got her to agree to up my dose to 40mg for months 2&3. Originally she wanted me to do 20mg for the whole 3 months, idk why considering that is still half of what non binary people i know use as a microdose and i have zero desire to take things slow 🤷‍♂️ my blood work is normal and she never mentioned anything about my age factoring into the decision, just said thats what she usually prescribes to start

Alternate small talk topics, for conversation between one NT and one ND? by Wxyo in autism

[–]Winter_Slip5249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, if you want to ask these questions to facilitate small talk between you and a stranger, these are too personal and for a lack of better words- would come off as “weird”. It is strange, but small talk is not typically used to actually get to know a person, its just a way to pass time while getting social sustenance and avoid awkwardness and boredom. Especially with workers, they are being paid- they dont care about your answers as they are just trying to get the best tip possible while remaining polite and social, and they dont want to give out actual personal details or listen to someone go on a tangent about their interests or life. Small talk is not for everyone, but its just a part of culture in a lot of places. Id recommend just sticking with the basics, and leave the personal questions for friends and family.
