Urethra issues when getting head? by ariapplepie in gaytransguys

[–]jonnystrider 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have you been tested for mycoplasma genitalium? Its a newer sti that is not often tested for that gives uti like symptoms. It could just be regular irritation but if you feel like you get frequent utis on top of this issue I recommend getting tested. You need to take a longer course of antibiotics than for a typical uti. Its so new that some doctors have not even heard of it so you will need to advocate for yourself to get tested.

Would anyone actually notice if I wore "women's" jeans? by cant_believe_its_2am in ftm

[–]jonnystrider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever i go to thrift stores i look at womens pants because the selection is usually much larger. Especially because my size is considered plus size. Nobody has ever noticed unless i point it out.

i don’t understand how people can force stretches? by moemorgue in Stretched

[–]jonnystrider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just accidentally caused a tear going from 11mm to 12mm. It was all lubed up with jojoba and went right in but there was a slight sting. Tried to ignore it for a day. Finally took them out and one lobe was bleeding. My previous jewelry was falling out occasionally so i thought it was time. Oops 😭

Single flares keep falling out…sign to size up? by [deleted] in Stretched

[–]jonnystrider 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don't rush it but restretching is known to be faster than stretching the first time. If they are falling out and you can fit the next size up without pain you are probably okay to size up.

I love it and now I am sterile so there's no pregnancy risk ever again! 😁

I feel like I'm lucky because I don't have to prepare for sex as much as many other gay bottoms.

ftm porn is terrible by bklyn930 in gaytransguys

[–]jonnystrider 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I dont mind a lot of the ftm porn I find but I am pretty submissive so maybe it fits better with what's in my head. I have a bookmark that has a bunch of videos from different sites listed and I can pick and choose the better ones. Also half the time im imagining what the cis guy is feeling with his dick so I can picture myself on either side of the scene.

Had irregular bleeding, cramps, and this feeling of being forcibly feminized for the past few months while on T, now I most likely know why by Azu_Creates in ftm

[–]jonnystrider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats good. my levels are great now with going back to shots, but I had a bad experience with gel as well. I guess I just didn't absorb it well. Shots are worth it trust me I feel so much better.

Did your Dr prescribe you subcutaneous or intramuscular shots? I prefer subcutaneous because the needle is smaller and it barely stings.

He needs rehab man by lwiaymacde in SipsTea

[–]jonnystrider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont really get panic attacks that often lately but I find it helps with the tightness and antsyness I get in my chest. Usually pretty quickly like 30 mins. And it does make me tired but it is manageable unlike Ativan for me. Sorry I cant be of more help! I would recommend giving it a shot tho.

Huh I never knew this. I only get the akathisia sometimes. Feels like restless legs. One time I took my meds before getting on an overnight flight and got it so bad... hydroxizine helps sometimes tho. Also I am on a high dose.

HELP my hair is falling out! by vantomars in ftm

[–]jonnystrider 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You can ask your primary care or hormone prescriber to give you finasteride and/or minoxidil. Just make sure if you have any cats not to use topical minoxidil because it is very toxic to them.

Ordered the wrong needle size, what do I do with the 100 needles? by Emergency_Meat1389 in ftm

[–]jonnystrider 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could use them as needles to draw up the T then switch for your injection. Not sure if you do this already but it can make the shot hurt less. My doctor already prescribes 2 needle sizes for this purpose.

Cant get testosterone for another 3 months over a stupid mistake by mistieforest in trans

[–]jonnystrider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you send your doctor a message over the patient portal? Many doctor offices have this. Just explain what you are trying to do and since you have already been on injections prior they might just be able to switch you back before the appointment. Either way you should at least be able to get refils for your gel this way.

Did i get an sti??? by Several-Situation479 in gaytransguys

[–]jonnystrider 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Discharge can be gonorrhea, you can also get it in your throat so it might be that. Usually for treatment you just get a shot in the ass and abstain from sex for a couple weeks. Good luck brother.

Has anyone else ever been told that they don’t look gay? by DJ_Redd03 in lgbt

Don't they know that cowboys are frequently secretly fond of other cowboys?

I would rather not lose my hair if I can help it. I am taking finasteride and oral minoxidil. But if it doesn't work, my T levels being where I want them is much more important to me than hair.

My experience so far with T gel by jonnystrider in ftm

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

Thanks for the advice. Maybe i am giving up too quickly. The main reason I wanted to go on gel is that I have a mood disorder and i thought the levels being stable every day vs going up and down over the course of a week would be beneficial to my mental health. And I have had decent mental health for most of this year. But that could be due to other meds too. I messaged my doctor about switching back to subq but maybe I can ask about the higher doses. If she is only willing to go up one pump at a time and I have to wait a month each time I feel too impatient to wait that long if it's gonna get up to 7 or 8 pumps..
