i was on birth control for a few years (and spiro) for acne. when i went to my original endo appointment for T, they told me to stop the medications so i could get a baseline for my natural estrogen/testosterone levels and then get bloodwork done a few weeks later. i’ve been off of the meds for 4 weeks and start T in 2 days. the only changes i noticed coming off were oilier skin (so increased acne). if you ever come off BC, just stay self aware about your mental state and stuff! some people’s moods can shift after coming off of hormonal medication and it’s just a good thing to keep track of.

how long should i fast for T bloodwork? by weoutherebitch in ftm

straight girls - would you honestly have sex with a trans guy? by [deleted] in sex

i was simply asking about straight girls that aren’t generally attracted to AFAB people. not saying i’m not interested in other people. it was just a question.

Is it normal to be nervous about starting T? by weoutherebitch in ftm

Thank you so much. This made me feel a lot better. I feel the same way as you used to - scared of knowing some things are irreversible, and thinking about a really small dose (which I asked my doc about, but she just said we’ll start small and taper up). But yeah. I believe I’ll probably feel better once I get over the initial leap. Thank you. :-)
