Ive been off T for about 3 months and im having weird symptoms. Like cramping, bloating, nauseous: basically all of the PMS symptoms with no actual ( . ). Woke up this morning feeling totally fine and i had spotting in my Pjs. so weird
Thank you for this video!! I was searching for something to help explain to my mom what would happen if an ftm person stops taking hormones (ie what stays/what changes) and this is super helpful both for me knowing for my own future and explaining it to other people!
I’m sorry the music is too high guys ☹️ I didn’t hear it when I was editing :/ Edit- if the music is too loud I posted this same video on my channel again with the sound fixed 🥴
I use the gel because I'm autistic and also gender fluid, so sometimes I don't feel like taking T, other days I feel I really need it. It has been ok using the gel semi-regularly. It has not been annoying at all. It's easy to apply, dries up really quick, and it makes me avoid the big highs and lows we had when taking the shots.
Thanks for making this video, it was really helpful and I appreciated your perspective on what the process of doing shots/ mood shifts/ etc is like for you. Super relatable haha Ty for helping me feel less alone
I love the fact that you can share your experience with others. I dont know your faith or religion but I can tell you to pray through whatever you are goin through. Dont stop your tshot. Self harm was your past and you got through it. But taking yourself through the hormonal changes my goodness. I feel for you and I hope you get through this positively and can continue your journey to where you wanna be. Stay positive and strong. And be blessed.💙🙏
Thank you 🥺 I always just want to help others, I think sharing/being relatable is the thing I do best 😩 I'm now back on T 😊🥳 we all fall, we just have to get back up and keep moving (in our own time of course). Stay positive and safe as well !! ❤️❤️
I'm a bit late but since you don't want to go on patches or gel, there is a little contraption thing that you can put your shot in and it'll inject it for you so you don't have to be actually stabbing yourself idk that might be something to look into
@@MarcusGrey No I don't think so, it's a little device that you hold against your leg/area where you are injecting and it injects for you and you don't see the needle. The link to it is here - unionmedico.com/90-super-grip/ I'm not sure how expensive or difficult to get it is, but Chase Ross made a video demonstrating its use if you wanna see how it's done with testosterone.
I definitely saw a difference from looking back at my first few months on T vs where I am now. Kind of a muscle head in my opinion 😭😭 but yes after I stopped taking T my jawline/face changed again. I’m not sure if it's "back to normal" though bc I have facial hair.
Before you start T, please consider if you may want kids in the future, & if possibly so, store some eggs.. Down the track your thinking may change about having kids of your own, & planning for that may prevent regret..
I actually have but when I googled it i saw mixed reviews so I was hesitant to bring it up to a doctor. I do think that alternative would better for me.
Is it harder to wear men’s jeans now cus if fat distribution? That’s one of my major worries just that and shark month 🦈 I’m not worried about anything else since I know the voice and hair will stay -great video btw
How long were you on hormones for I have been on hormones for at least 8 months almost 10 And I may have to stop hormones I don't want to They doctor that prescribed it to me had died and the one that I have now will not prescribe it to me I do have some left however But I don't know how long it will last Do you have any advice for me
And I understand what it's like to poke yourself with a needle I did that too and I am visually impaired so it's even scarier I decided to do gels or or something like lotion to to use for the hormones instead of needles the needles that might work better for you but it's still just expensive as noodles are
Not for medical reasons. I just deal with quite a bit of depression, anxiety and executive dysfunction. Doing my T shots is anxiety inducing already but add in executive dysfunction and it just feels impossible.. no matter how much I want to be on T
hows everything going? im not even out but if i ever go on t i dont want to be on it forever and im terrified of people saying they've started to get misgendered...
Most likely depends on how long you've been on T plus the changes you got. Like 99% of the time i do notttt get misgendered (unless it's people who know me and are transphobic). But you see me.. my voice is deeper, I have facial hair. If you pass now you'll most likely pass off T as well
Testosterone is a hormone found in both males & females (stereotypically) and so is estrogen. However, males are testosterone dominant and females are estrogen dominant. Ftms take testosterone to become testosterone dominate and acquire stereotypical male features such as facial hair, Adam's apple, deep voice, etc.and other personal reasons. It doesn’t give you "highs/lows" and you cannot be addicted. Someone *can* experience mood changes but it's because of the change in hormone levels (like teenagers) but stops when hormones even out.
@@RedSky22 fr? Because you just asked what T was. It’s short for testosterone. When injected it moreso feels like I’m normalized. Since my hormone levels were naturally high with testosterone (even before taking T), taking T made me feel less anxious, less depressed, and all around just better. If you’re looking for drugs or something, this isn’t that.
My hormones are all over the place i lost access to my meds sooo like iv been trying to wein myself off even tho i dont want to. And it is sad boi hours! Also hate paper work n doctors so porcractaning fuuck.
A different trans man who cant do shots because of self harm issues gets a nurse who does a every 4 months injects a bolus in their butt muscle I believe.
Now that I’ve been on T for almost 8 months and I’ve been extremely sensitive since starting T. I cry so much now 😂
Ive been off T for about 3 months and im having weird symptoms. Like cramping, bloating, nauseous: basically all of the PMS symptoms with no actual ( . ). Woke up this morning feeling totally fine and i had spotting in my Pjs. so weird
When u stop u will feel horrible that’s just how it is
3:55 "I tell it to chill out and we keep it pushing"
I swear on my life

AW. I'm so glad it helped l! I saw a couple videos talking about but I think experiencing it is another story 🥴
I’m sorry the music is too high guys ☹️ I didn’t hear it when I was editing :/
Edit- if the music is too loud I posted this same video on my channel again with the sound fixed 🥴
Thank you for sharing Marcus! I'm considering going off T and it's good to know what may or may not be in my future.
Anytime! I'm glad I could help 😊 if you do hopefully the transition back is as smooth as possible 😩

🙄gender fluid🤦♂️Your genetics I am sure, proves otherwise.
I see you don't make videos right now, but I really appreciate your making this video. This is lasting.

are you talking about the T pellets?

This was very informative, thanks man
When you go on T your face / head changes a lot. Like bigger jaw and wider overall etc. Does that go back to original too?
I definitely saw a difference from looking back at my first few months on T vs where I am now. Kind of a muscle head in my opinion 😭😭 but yes after I stopped taking T my jawline/face changed again. I’m not sure if it's "back to normal" though bc I have facial hair.
@@MarcusGrey what about the chest?
Thank you for sharing your story and such helpful information. I hope you were able to find another solution to getting your T.
Before you start T, please consider if you may want kids in the future, & if possibly so, store some eggs..
Down the track your thinking may change about having kids of your own, & planning for that may prevent regret..
i was on T for 5 months, My voice dropped but not to its full potential. When i go back on T will my voice still develope ?
have you heard of testosterone pellets? they might be a good alternative for you if you find injections to be triggering.
I actually have but when I googled it i saw mixed reviews so I was hesitant to bring it up to a doctor. I do think that alternative would better for me.

THIS IS SO HELPFUL thank you
such important information thank you!! much love

i wish i was born a boy so i didnt have to TRY to be a boy
Why did you decide to stop? Is it for medical reason?
Not for medical reasons. I just deal with quite a bit of depression, anxiety and executive dysfunction. Doing my T shots is anxiety inducing already but add in executive dysfunction and it just feels impossible.. no matter how much I want to be on T
You know that you xan micro dose with T gel right?
Maybe it can help💙
Good to know
Is there any kind of implantable, like what they use for the 3 month birth control used for women?
Been off T for almost three months now.
hows everything going? im not even out but if i ever go on t i dont want to be on it forever and im terrified of people saying they've started to get misgendered...

@@MarcusGrey tysm that reaally helps
Electrolysis gets rid of facial hair permanently
Eye feel you ❤️ are you currently still off T?
I’m back on T now, feels so good to be back!
Also for me when I missed just one shot 2 days later had shark week 😞 I have bad luck 🍀 lol
There are a pill form of T I love your videos I fuck with you bro I'm a t~mane as well going to start t soon and thanks for the honesty
Hey, thanks for this video, I was wondering why I was having such a hard time to get erect. Its really been bothering me since I had to stop injecting
So T is similiar to a drug? It gives you highs and lows and adiction to it?

@@MarcusGrey I know what is testosteron, i was just curios how it feels in the body once you injected.

A different trans man who cant do shots because of self harm issues gets a nurse who does a every 4 months injects a bolus in their butt muscle I believe.
