<p>
|
||||
Note: All the links for injection needles are for 1 inch needles intended for intramuscular injection. Please
|
||||
consider using 0.5 inch needles if you wish to inject subcutaneously. Please remember to dispose of needles in a sharps box or sturdy plastic container for safety.
|
||||
We recommend 21 to 23 gauge needles for drawing instead of the standard 18g because it reduces vial coring.<br>

<p>
|
||||
Note: All the links for injection needles are for 1 inch needles intended for intramuscular injection. Please
|
||||
consider using 0.5 inch needles if you wish to inject subcutaneously. Please remember to dispose of needles in a sharps box or sturdy plastic container for safety.
|
||||
We recommend 21 to 23 gauge needles for drawing instead of the standard 18g because it reduces vial coring.<br>

|
||||
<h5> What is HRT? </h5>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Testosterone (T) is an anabolic steroid and sex hormone found in those assigned male at birth.
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
Since we were not assigned male at birth, we only produce a small amount in our bodies naturally, and produce
|
||||
estrogens instead.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<a id="what_does_it_do"></a>
|
||||
<h5> What does it do? </h5>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Testosterone induces both androgenic and anabolic effects.
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
Androgenic effects are the masculinizing changes that come with taking testosterone, which includes clitoral
|
||||
enlargement (bottom growth), voice deepening, cessation of menstruation (periods), increased definition of
|
||||
facial features and a more masculine fat distribution, facial and body hair growth, increased libido, acne, etc.
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
You can think of anabolic effects as changes to your body's metabolism, protein building and how it uses energy.
|
||||
Anabolic effects include increased muscle mass and strength, increased bone density, increased appetite, etc.
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
The androgenic and anabolic effects of testosterone are about equal. You won't necessarily have high levels of
|
||||
strength nor gain significant muscle mass, especially if you don't exercise regularly. Your mileage may vary.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<a id="what_methods"></a>
|
||||
<h5> What kind of methods can I get T in? </h5>
|
||||
<p>There are multiple ways, each with their drawbacks, pros, and levels of ease in terms of obtaining them.</p>
|
||||
<h6>Injections</h6>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
By far the most popular and well known method, injections are by far the easiest to come by if you choose to DIY.
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
There are certain esters testosterone is commonly compounded in. Testosterone is esterified in order to last
|
||||
longer in your body. Raw testosterone injected into your tissues will dissipate very quickly, which is why
|
||||
testosterone injections all come in ester form.
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
<b>Testosterone propionate, cypionate and enanthate are the most commonly prescribed and used testosterone
|
||||
esters.</b>
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
We will only focus on cypionate and enanthate due to their long half lives (amount of time it lasts in your body). Testosterone cypionate
|
||||
and testosterone enanthate both have very similar strength and half lives.
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
Cypionate's half life is about 8 days when injected.<br>
|
||||
Enanthate's half life is slightly shorter. Treat it similarly to cypionate. This means that for most people,
|
||||
it's best to inject weekly for ideal hormone levels.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h6>Gels</h6>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
This is harder to find in concentrations required to suppress estrogen on the grey/black market. Also quite
|
||||
expensive if buying DIY. Not feasible for most who choose to DIY due to lack of sources and high cost. Fine for
|
||||
prescribed T. Currently only some UK sources offer gel, so DIY gel is infeasible for most people.
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
These come in packets or in a pump.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h6>Pellets</h6>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Not available from DIY sources (obviously), but are very effective if you can find a doctor that offers this form of testosterone.
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
These are experimental in terms of dosages compared to the other tried and true methods. You can get them
|
||||
surgically implanted if your insurance covers it (or you are very wealthy). They let out a small dose of T each day and you don't have to
|
||||
worry about missing a dose. They last about 3-6 months.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h5 id="sourcing_dosing">Sourcing/Dosing:</h5>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Ideally, you would be on T through legal means. However, you may not have the privilege, so this guide
|
||||
may be of better use for you.
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
Regardless, if you are willing to attempt DIY, it is a preferable option to not being on T for many.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h6>Legal access to T:</h6>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If you are in the <b>US</b>: you can try informed consent (Planned Parenthood locations offer this service), or
|
||||
any endocrinologist that allows it. Informed consent is essentially an easier method of obtaining HRT without having to
|
||||
go through multiple psychologist/psychiatrist assessments (essentially having to 'prove' your transness), or be actually diagnosed with gender dysphoria. You just sign a consent form and
|
||||
that's it.
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
<b>You have to be 18+ to access informed consent services in the USA and across the world. Informed consent services are harder to find outside of the United States.</b>
|
||||
Here is a community-compiled <b>worldwide</b> map that shows clinics offering informed consent:
|
||||
<a href="https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/1/viewer?mid=1DxyOTw8dI8n96BHFF2JVUMK7bXsRKtzA&ll=26.19982757169323%2C-113.38234069999999&z=3" target="_blank">Erin's Informed Consent Map</a>
|
||||
with particular focus on clinics in the USA.
|
||||
Many new mobile apps and telehealth services in the USA also offer informed consent access to HRT, see this short document for a full list for ALL current app/telehealth HRT services in the USA:
|
||||
<a href="apps.html">diyhrt.wiki/apps</a>.<br>
|
||||
To save on prescribed HRT in the USA, try <a href="https://goodrx.com" target="_blank">goodrx.com</a> for
|
||||
free
|
||||
coupons to use at participating pharmacies. There are no strings attached to this service! <a href="https://costplusdrugs.com/medications/" target="_blank">Cost Plus Drugs</a> is also a good source
|
||||
for
|
||||
affordable medications if you have a doctor's prescription.
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
If you are in the <b>UK</b>: GenderGP (if you can afford it) is a private healthcare service aiding transgender
|
||||
people in getting on HRT. It uses a model similar to informed consent and asks about your plan for transition.
|
||||
Unfortunately, they have a bit of a reputation for giving rather undesirable dosing regimens and not following clinical guidelines, and can be quite
|
||||
expensive.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h6>DIY:</h6>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If you don't want to be on waitlists, have to prove your transness while allowing your body to feminize, or are
|
||||
unable to get T legally, then you may have to order it online. Learn how to buy Bitcoin. (If you are unable to, get
|
||||
a trusted friend to purchase the Bitcoin for you, or go to your local BTC ATM.) Some sites also offer payment in
|
||||
methods such as Zelle, Bank Transfer, Western Union and MoneyGram. (Keep in mind that these methods are often
|
||||
subject to minimum order requirements, unlike Bitcoin.)
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
If you choose to order testosterone without a prescription, it will be illegal in most countries (although the
|
||||
risk of a domestic order being seized, let alone any person in possession of anabolic steroids for personal use
|
||||
being prosecuted, is unheard of). Testosterone <b>is legal</b> to possess without a prescription in places like
|
||||
the UK and Canada (sale of testosterone without a proper license <i>is</i> illegal, however).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h7> Accurate Dosing:</h7>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Here is a table of typical doses of testosterone used in transmasculine hormone therapy: <br>
|
||||
<img src="images/content/TTable.png" class="contentImage" style="width:100%;"><br>
|
||||
I usually recommend people start on 50mg/week. You can either choose to slowly ramp up your dosage, or you can
|
||||
start at a high dose. There is no evidence that either method is clearly better than the other. I would not
|
||||
recommend you go over 100mg/week unless you have obvious signs of insufficient T levels after a year on that
|
||||
dosage (still having menstrual cycles, or a blood test showing inadequate levels).
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
Vials of testosterone are usually compounded at either 200mg/mL, 250mg/mL or 300mg/mL. This means that for a
|
||||
200mg/mL vial, every 1mL of liquid will contain 200mg of testosterone. A 10mL vial will then contain a total of
|
||||
2000mg of testosterone.<br><br>
|
||||
We will unfortunately be doing some math here.<br>
|
||||
The formula to calculate how much liquid to inject is: <b>(amount you want to inject) ÷ (concentration of the
|
||||
vial) = amount to inject per dose in mL</b>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h7> Dosing Examples:</h7>
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
If you wanted to inject 20mg and you have a 200mg/mL vial,<br>
|
||||
20 ÷ 200 = 0.1<br>
|
||||
0.1mL per injection
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
If you wanted to inject 50mg, and you have a 200mg/mL vial,<br>
|
||||
50 ÷ 200 = 0.25<br>
|
||||
0.25mL per injection
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
If you wanted to inject 100mg and you have a 200mg/mL vial,<br>
|
||||
100 ÷ 200 = 0.5<br>
|
||||
0.5mL per injection
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
If you wanted to inject 50mg and you have a 250mg/mL vial,<br>
|
||||
50 ÷ 250 = 0.2<br>
|
||||
0.2mL per injection
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
If you wanted to inject 50mg and you have a 300mg/mL vial, <br>
|
||||
50 ÷ 300 ≈ 0.17<br>
|
||||
0.17mL per injection
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<p>Not too complicated now, hopefully!</p>
|
||||
<h6>How to perform a T injection</h6>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Needles can be bought from any pharmacy over the counter in most countries without a prescription (you may have
|
||||
to ask the pharmacist directly). Most countries also have online sites that sell appropriate injection needles.
|
||||
Amazon is a popular source for those in America.<br>
|
||||
Link to good sources for injection supplies: <a href="injectionsupplies.html" target="_blank">Injection supplies</a>
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
There are two methods for a T injection, subcutaneous/subq (injection into the layer of fat under the skin), and
|
||||
intramuscular/IM (injection deep into the muscle underneath the skin and fat). Both methods result in identical
|
||||
absorption rates and levels of the drug, whether you prefer subq or IM is mostly personal preference.
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
Because of the presence of benzyl benzoate in most steroid site sourced vials, some people find subcutaneous
|
||||
injections to cause some minor post-injection pain.
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
Appropriate gauges (needle thickness) for a subcutaneous injection are 25-30g, for intramuscular, 23-25g. Subq
|
||||
needles are thinner than IM needles, which some people find less intimidating.
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
Recommended needle lengths are as follows:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<li>1”-1 ½” (IM, 1 inch is better for thinner people and 1 ½” for thicker people)</li>
|
||||
<li>½”-⅝” (Subq, up to personal preference.)</li>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
There are many online videos and guides for how to administer an intramuscular or subcutaneous injection, here
|
||||
are a few decent ones:

<h6>Blood Testing</h6>
|
||||
<p>Regular blood testing every ~3 months or so is useful, but not absolutely mandatory, especially if not
|
||||
particularly affordable or feasible. It's recommended to get a blood test after 1 month on testosterone, and then every 3 months after that.
|
||||
Here are some sources of private blood testing if you cannot access it
|
||||

<p><i>International sources for blood testing are unfortunately rare. You can try to find local private blood
|
||||
testing services or ask a doctor if they can provide you with the appropriate blood lab requisition forms.
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
Unfortunately, depending on your circumstances, you may be unable to find a way to get blood tests.</i>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<b>Get your estradiol (E2) and total testosterone (T) tested every time.</b> Get your blood taken as close as
|
||||
possible to your next scheduled injection/dose, before your actual dose (Test your blood as far away as possible from a previous dose,
|
||||
right before your next scheduled dose. Preferably the day of your shot, or the day before. Blood tests taken at
|
||||
this time are called trough levels).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<b>What should my total testosterone (T) reading be?</b>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
The Endocrine Society’s 2017 clinical guidelines for transgender HRT recommend that trans men maintain
|
||||
“testosterone levels in the physiologic normal male range”, a range which is typically given as <b>300–1000 ng/dL.</b>
|
||||
Slightly higher or lower testosterone levels above or below this range are not something to worry about unless your estradiol levels are also too high.
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
<b>What should my estradiol (E2) reading be?</b>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
The normal range for adult male is <b>10 – 50 pg/ml</b> although this varies due to age and individual factors.
|
||||
Try to aim within this range, although slightly higher levels are not something to worry about.
|
||||
Try to keep your estradiol under 70pg/mL
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
Occasional testing of Complete Blood Count (CBC), Liver Function Tests (LFT)/Liver enzymes, Clotting factors
|
||||
test, and Lipid profile test (cholesterol, triglycerides) can be useful to monitor certain health risks
|
||||
associated with testosterone therapy.
|
||||

|
||||
<h6>Risks/Side effects</h6>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<b>❗<i>Warning that taking testosterone will likely cause infertility, possibly irreversibly.</b>❗</i>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
For a full list of potential increased risks of certain health issues associated with transmasculine HRT, you
|
||||
can refer to this resource: <a href="https://www.ftmguide.org/tandhealth.html#sideeffects" target="_blank">https://www.ftmguide.org/tandhealth.html#sideeffects</a>. <br>
|
||||
Most of the serious side effects are extremely low in absolute risk.
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
Polycythemia (high concentration of red blood cells in the blood) is a unique risk for transmascs taking any
|
||||
testosterone therapy. CBC (complete blood count) tests to monitor your hematocrit (red blood cell count) are recommended.
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<b>What should my CBC look like?</b>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
Polycythemia is defined as serum hematocrit (Hct) or hemoglobin (HgB) exceeding normal ranges expected for age and sex, typically Hct > 49% in healthy adult males. So there is no need to worry if you have Hct levels lower than that.
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
<b>Aromatization</b>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
In all people, a small portion of the testosterone in their bodies is converted into estradiol (estrogen) through a process called aromatization. However, in healthy cisgender males, the testosterone levels typically remain within a range
|
||||
that does not cause a significant increase in estradiol levels, thereby mitigating any unwanted feminizing effects.
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
As a transmasculine person, it's important to not take too much testosterone (please stay within recommended dosage guidelines) to prevent estradiol levels from getting too high (which can cause unwanted feminizing effects).
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
As long as you take reasonable dosages of testosterone and do not go over the recommended dosages,
|
||||
you are unlikely to deal with excessive aromatization.
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
<b><i>Hormone therapy in general is very safe and effective as long as you take reasonable doses.</b></i>

<h5>Frequently Asked Questions:</h5>
|
||||
<h6>Traveling with testosterone.</h6>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<b>It is NOT recommended to travel with DIY-sourced testosterone</b>, as airport security may check through all
|
||||
luggage. If your T vial shows up on a scanner, you may be charged with possession of a controlled substance.
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
The absolute risk isn't very high, but it's best to try and stay on the safe side.
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
If you MUST travel with DIY-sourced T, get a large clear Ziploc bag, have your T clearly labeled as
|
||||
testosterone, and throw in some aspirin and allergy meds inside with the T. Most likely airport security will
|
||||
not hound you for a prescription.
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
If you are arrested, do not say anything to the police (but don't make things up and lie to them) and contact a
|
||||
lawyer as soon as an opportunity is provided to you.
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
<b>Obviously, it is fine to travel with legitimately obtained, prescribed T. Just make sure you have the
|
||||
prescription with you.</b>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h6>Testosterone dosing after a hysterectomy.</h6>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Testosterone dosages do not usually need to be adjusted after a hysterectomy.

<h5> What is HRT? </h5>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Testosterone (T) is an anabolic steroid and sex hormone found in those assigned male at birth.
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
Since we were not assigned male at birth, we only produce a small amount in our bodies naturally, and produce
|
||||
estrogens instead.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<a id="what_does_it_do"></a>
|
||||
<h5> What does it do? </h5>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Testosterone induces both androgenic and anabolic effects.
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
Androgenic effects are the masculinizing changes that come with taking testosterone, which includes clitoral
|
||||
enlargement (bottom growth), voice deepening, cessation of menstruation (periods), increased definition of
|
||||
facial features and a more masculine fat distribution, facial and body hair growth, increased libido, acne, etc.
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
You can think of anabolic effects as changes to your body's metabolism, protein building and how it uses energy.
|
||||
Anabolic effects include increased muscle mass and strength, increased bone density, increased appetite, etc.
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
The androgenic and anabolic effects of testosterone are about equal. You won't necessarily have high levels of
|
||||
strength nor gain significant muscle mass, especially if you don't exercise regularly. Your mileage may vary.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<a id="what_methods"></a>
|
||||
<h5> What kind of methods can I get T in? </h5>
|
||||
<p>There are multiple ways, each with their drawbacks, pros, and levels of ease in terms of obtaining them.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h6>Injections</h6>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
By far the most popular and well known method, injections are by far the easiest to come by if you choose to DIY.
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
There are certain esters testosterone is commonly compounded in. Testosterone is esterified in order to last
|
||||
longer in your body. Raw testosterone injected into your tissues will dissipate very quickly, which is why
|
||||
testosterone injections all come in ester form.
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
<b>Testosterone propionate, cypionate and enanthate are the most commonly prescribed and used testosterone
|
||||
esters.</b>
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
We will only focus on cypionate and enanthate due to their long half lives (amount of time it lasts in your body). Testosterone cypionate
|
||||
and testosterone enanthate both have very similar strength and half lives.
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
Cypionate's half life is about 8 days when injected.<br>
|
||||
Enanthate's half life is slightly shorter. Treat it similarly to cypionate. This means that for most people,
|
||||
it's best to inject weekly for ideal hormone levels.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h6>Gels</h6>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
This is harder to find in concentrations required to suppress estrogen on the grey/black market. Also quite
|
||||
expensive if buying DIY. Not feasible for most who choose to DIY due to lack of sources and high cost. Fine for
|
||||
prescribed T. Currently only some UK sources offer gel, so DIY gel is infeasible for most people.
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
These come in packets or in a pump.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h6>Pellets</h6>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Not available from DIY sources (obviously), but are very effective if you can find a doctor that offers this form of testosterone.
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
These are experimental in terms of dosages compared to the other tried and true methods. You can get them
|
||||
surgically implanted if your insurance covers it (or you are very wealthy). They let out a small dose of T each day and you don't have to
|
||||
worry about missing a dose. They last about 3-6 months.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<h5 id="sourcing_dosing">Sourcing/Dosing:</h5>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Ideally, you would be on T through legal means. However, you may not have the privilege, so this guide
|
||||
may be of better use for you.
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
Regardless, if you are willing to attempt DIY, it is a preferable option to not being on T for many.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h6>Legal access to T:</h6>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If you are in the <b>US</b>: you can try informed consent (Planned Parenthood locations offer this service), or
|
||||
any endocrinologist that allows it. Informed consent is essentially an easier method of obtaining HRT without having to
|
||||
go through multiple psychologist/psychiatrist assessments (essentially having to 'prove' your transness), or be actually diagnosed with gender dysphoria. You just sign a consent form and
|
||||
that's it.
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
<b>You have to be 18+ to access informed consent services in the USA and across the world. Informed consent services are harder to find outside of the United States.</b>
|
||||
Here is a community-compiled <b>worldwide</b> map that shows clinics offering informed consent:
|
||||
<a href="https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/1/viewer?mid=1DxyOTw8dI8n96BHFF2JVUMK7bXsRKtzA&ll=26.19982757169323%2C-113.38234069999999&z=3"
|
||||
target="_blank">Erin's Informed Consent Map</a>
|
||||
with particular focus on clinics in the USA.
|
||||
Many new mobile apps and telehealth services in the USA also offer informed consent access to HRT, see this short document for a full list for ALL current app/telehealth HRT services in the USA:
|
||||
<a href="apps.html">diyhrt.wiki/apps</a>.<br>
|
||||
To save on prescribed HRT in the USA, try <a href="https://goodrx.com" target="_blank">goodrx.com</a> for
|
||||
free
|
||||
coupons to use at participating pharmacies. There are no strings attached to this service! <a
|
||||
href="https://costplusdrugs.com/medications/" target="_blank">Cost Plus Drugs</a> is also a good source
|
||||
for
|
||||
affordable medications if you have a doctor's prescription.
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
If you are in the <b>UK</b>: GenderGP (if you can afford it) is a private healthcare service aiding transgender
|
||||
people in getting on HRT. It uses a model similar to informed consent and asks about your plan for transition.
|
||||
Unfortunately, they have a bit of a reputation for giving rather undesirable dosing regimens and not following clinical guidelines, and can be quite
|
||||
expensive.

If you don't want to be on waitlists, have to prove your transness while allowing your body to feminize, or are

unable to get T legally, then you may have to order it online. Learn how to buy Bitcoin. (If you are unable to, get
|
||||
a trusted friend to purchase the Bitcoin for you, or go to your local BTC ATM.) Some sites also offer payment in
|
||||
methods such as Zelle, Bank Transfer, Western Union and MoneyGram. (Keep in mind that these methods are often
|
||||
subject to minimum order requirements, unlike Bitcoin.)
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
If you choose to order testosterone without a prescription, it will be illegal in most countries (although the
|
||||
risk of a domestic order being seized, let alone any person in possession of anabolic steroids for personal use
|
||||
being prosecuted, is unheard of). Testosterone <b>is legal</b> to possess without a prescription in places like
|
||||
the UK and Canada (sale of testosterone without a proper license <i>is</i> illegal, however).

|
||||
<h7> Accurate Dosing:</h7>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Here is a table of typical doses of testosterone used in transmasculine hormone therapy: <br>
|
||||
<img src="images/content/TTable.png" class="contentImage" style="width:100%;"><br>
|
||||
I usually recommend people start on 50mg/week. You can either choose to slowly ramp up your dosage, or you can
|
||||
start at a high dose. There is no evidence that either method is clearly better than the other. I would not
|
||||
recommend you go over 100mg/week unless you have obvious signs of insufficient T levels after a year on that
|
||||
dosage (still having menstrual cycles, or a blood test showing inadequate levels).
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
Vials of testosterone are usually compounded at either 200mg/mL, 250mg/mL or 300mg/mL. This means that for a
|
||||
200mg/mL vial, every 1mL of liquid will contain 200mg of testosterone. A 10mL vial will then contain a total of
|
||||
2000mg of testosterone.<br><br>
|
||||
We will unfortunately be doing some math here.<br>
|
||||
The formula to calculate how much liquid to inject is: <b>(amount you want to inject) ÷ (concentration of the
|
||||
vial) = amount to inject per dose in mL</b>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h7> Dosing Examples:</h7>
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
If you wanted to inject 20mg and you have a 200mg/mL vial,<br>
|
||||
20 ÷ 200 = 0.1<br>
|
||||
0.1mL per injection
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
If you wanted to inject 50mg, and you have a 200mg/mL vial,<br>
|
||||
50 ÷ 200 = 0.25<br>
|
||||
0.25mL per injection
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
If you wanted to inject 100mg and you have a 200mg/mL vial,<br>
|
||||
100 ÷ 200 = 0.5<br>
|
||||
0.5mL per injection
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
If you wanted to inject 50mg and you have a 250mg/mL vial,<br>
|
||||
50 ÷ 250 = 0.2<br>
|
||||
0.2mL per injection
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
If you wanted to inject 50mg and you have a 300mg/mL vial, <br>
|
||||
50 ÷ 300 ≈ 0.17<br>
|
||||
0.17mL per injection
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Not too complicated now, hopefully!</p>

<h6>How to perform a T injection</h6>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Needles can be bought from any pharmacy over the counter in most countries without a prescription (you may have
|
||||
to ask the pharmacist directly). Most countries also have online sites that sell appropriate injection needles.
|
||||
Amazon is a popular source for those in America.<br>
|
||||
Link to good sources for injection supplies: <a href="injectionsupplies.html" target="_blank">Injection supplies</a>
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
There are two methods for a T injection, subcutaneous/subq (injection into the layer of fat under the skin), and
|
||||
intramuscular/IM (injection deep into the muscle underneath the skin and fat). Both methods result in identical
|
||||
absorption rates and levels of the drug, whether you prefer subq or IM is mostly personal preference.
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
Because of the presence of benzyl benzoate in most steroid site sourced vials, some people find subcutaneous
|
||||
injections to cause some minor post-injection pain.
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
Appropriate gauges (needle thickness) for a subcutaneous injection are 25-30g, for intramuscular, 23-25g. Subq
|
||||
needles are thinner than IM needles, which some people find less intimidating.
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
Recommended needle lengths are as follows:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<li>1”-1 ½” (IM, 1 inch is better for thinner people and 1 ½” for thicker people)</li>
|
||||
<li>½”-⅝” (Subq, up to personal preference.)</li>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
There are many online videos and guides for how to administer an intramuscular or subcutaneous injection, here
|
||||
are a few decent ones:

<h6>Blood Testing</h6>
|
||||
<p>Regular blood testing every ~3 months or so is useful, but not absolutely mandatory, especially if not
|
||||
particularly affordable or feasible. It's recommended to get a blood test after 1 month on testosterone, and then every 3 months after that.
|
||||
Here are some sources of private blood testing if you cannot access it
|
||||
through the medical system:</p>

<p><i>International sources for blood testing are unfortunately rare. You can try to find local private blood
|
||||
testing services or ask a doctor if they can provide you with the appropriate blood lab requisition forms.
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
Unfortunately, depending on your circumstances, you may be unable to find a way to get blood tests.</i>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<b>Get your estradiol (E2) and total testosterone (T) tested every time.</b> Get your blood taken as close as
|
||||
possible to your next scheduled injection/dose, before your actual dose (Test your blood as far away as possible from a previous dose,
|
||||
right before your next scheduled dose. Preferably the day of your shot, or the day before. Blood tests taken at
|
||||
this time are called trough levels).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<b>What should my total testosterone (T) reading be?</b>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
The Endocrine Society’s 2017 clinical guidelines for transgender HRT recommend that trans men maintain
|
||||
“testosterone levels in the physiologic normal male range”, a range which is typically given as <b>300–1000 ng/dL.</b>
|
||||
Slightly higher or lower testosterone levels above or below this range are not something to worry about unless your estradiol levels are also too high.
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
<b>What should my estradiol (E2) reading be?</b>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
The normal range for adult male is <b>10 – 50 pg/ml</b> although this varies due to age and individual factors.
|
||||
Try to aim within this range, although slightly higher levels are not something to worry about.
|
||||
Try to keep your estradiol under 70pg/mL
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
Occasional testing of Complete Blood Count (CBC), Liver Function Tests (LFT)/Liver enzymes, Clotting factors
|
||||
test, and Lipid profile test (cholesterol, triglycerides) can be useful to monitor certain health risks
|
||||
associated with testosterone therapy.
|
||||
|
||||
<a id="risks/side_effects"></a>
|
||||
<h6>Risks/Side effects</h6>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<b>❗<i>Warning that taking testosterone will likely cause infertility, possibly irreversibly.</b>❗</i>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
For a full list of potential increased risks of certain health issues associated with transmasculine HRT, you
|
||||
can refer to this resource: <a href="https://www.ftmguide.org/tandhealth.html#sideeffects" target="_blank">https://www.ftmguide.org/tandhealth.html#sideeffects</a>. <br>
|
||||
Most of the serious side effects are extremely low in absolute risk.
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
Polycythemia (high concentration of red blood cells in the blood) is a unique risk for transmascs taking any
|
||||
testosterone therapy. CBC (complete blood count) tests to monitor your hematocrit (red blood cell count) are recommended.
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<b>What should my CBC look like?</b>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
Polycythemia is defined as serum hematocrit (Hct) or hemoglobin (HgB) exceeding normal ranges expected for age and sex, typically Hct > 49% in healthy adult males. So there is no need to worry if you have Hct levels lower than that.
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
<b>Aromatization</b>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
In all people, a small portion of the testosterone in their bodies is converted into estradiol (estrogen) through a process called aromatization. However, in healthy cisgender males, the testosterone levels typically remain within a range
|
||||
that does not cause a significant increase in estradiol levels, thereby mitigating any unwanted feminizing effects.
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
As a transmasculine person, it's important to not take too much testosterone (please stay within recommended dosage guidelines) to prevent estradiol levels from getting too high (which can cause unwanted feminizing effects).
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
As long as you take reasonable dosages of testosterone and do not go over the recommended dosages,
|
||||
you are unlikely to deal with excessive aromatization.
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
<b><i>Hormone therapy in general is very safe and effective as long as you take reasonable doses.</b></i>

<h5>Frequently Asked Questions:</h5>
|
||||
|
||||
<h6>Traveling with testosterone.</h6>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<b>It is NOT recommended to travel with DIY-sourced testosterone</b>, as airport security may check through all
|
||||
luggage. If your T vial shows up on a scanner, you may be charged with possession of a controlled substance.
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
The absolute risk isn't very high, but it's best to try and stay on the safe side.
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
If you MUST travel with DIY-sourced T, get a large clear Ziploc bag, have your T clearly labeled as
|
||||
testosterone, and throw in some aspirin and allergy meds inside with the T. Most likely airport security will
|
||||
not hound you for a prescription.
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
If you are arrested, do not say anything to the police (but don't make things up and lie to them) and contact a
|
||||
lawyer as soon as an opportunity is provided to you.
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
<b>Obviously, it is fine to travel with legitimately obtained, prescribed T. Just make sure you have the
|
||||
prescription with you.</b>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h6>Testosterone dosing after a hysterectomy.</h6>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Testosterone dosages do not usually need to be adjusted after a hysterectomy.
