  1. CW: HRT, pos

    Had my fourth Testopel procedure today. Waiting on lab results to see where my levels are sitting but I’m pleased with my #Testopel experience this far. #HRT #TransMasc #TransMan

  2. CW: HRT, testosterone

    #Testopel (#testosterone pellets implanted under the skin) is the first route of #masculinizing #HRT that stopped my menstrual cycle. Previously I’d tried compounded T cream, T gel, T patches, IM injection, and subQ injection (in that order) and none stopped my menstrual cycle. I had to use birth control for that, which had unwanted side effects. #TransMasc #TransMan

  3. So far the most annoying part of #Testopel is that the bandage adhesive over the implant site is a little itchy. #HRT #TransMasc

  4. The numbness on the implant site is gone, but there’s no discomfort. I have to keep a bandage on for a couple of days and that feels a little strange, mostly so it doesn’t get wet in the shower. I’ve had more discomfort from IM injections due to bruising. #Testopel #HRT #TransMasc

  5. Just got word that insurance authorized #Testopel implanted #HRT for me. Now I’m just waiting for the appointment folks to call me and get me booked for the procedure.

    This journey started in May of last year, and it’s amazing to finally be making real progress.
