Based on your Google search results for testosterone boosters, you may be looking for a natural way to boost your T-levels. TestoSil is a popular natural supplement designed to help men increase their testosterone, leading to improved energy, strength, and overall well-being.

What Are Your Options?

For men whose testosterone levels are within the “normal” range, medications and injections are typically not an option. Such prescriptions are usually reserved for those with diagnosed medical conditions.

Moreover, many men encounter adverse reactions to these treatments. Even if medication were appropriate, the costs could be prohibitive, often reaching up to $700 each month, indefinitely. If you suspect that your symptoms are linked to a medical issue, it’s essential to consult with a physician.

How incredible would it be to increase your testosterone levels by as much as 434%?

nonbinary, stopping low dose t

Stopping Testosterone

I made an account specifically to post this to the stopping t thread, because it's *impossible* to find information on this topic! I appreciate everyone who has posted on this because I have felt pretty lost. So I'm going to write as much as possible on here about my experience, and I hope this helps someone else. Also, I have a question for the community.

I was on weekly t injections for eight months. When I stopped, I had been on .35ml for three weeks, and then on .4ml for one week. Giving those numbers because I had a hard time finding dosage information and what other people were experiencing; .4ml was when my voice changed, and I did not like it. My doctor told me to go down to .2ml one week, then .1ml the next, to go off of it, and not to quit cold turkey.

My question: what was your timeline for face re-feminization after stopping t?

I really don't like my jawline from t. I've read it's reversible, and maybe two months just isn't long enough for me to regain some fat around my chin and soften that curve. Does anyone have experience with this and how long it took for face feminization to return?

---

The following is just as much information I can think of in regards to my experience, with the hope it helps someone.

Why I went on t:

It's been a few months since I first posted here, so I thought I'd add an update. I hope everyone is well.

Physiologically, I stopped applying T-gel in the first week of August 2014, so that's about seven and a half months. I had been on T for just under two years. My face has re-feminised, and beard growth has slowed way down to only really needing to shave about twice a week max (it needed to be every day before) and I expect this will continue to decrease.

My cycle started again six weeks after stopping T, and I haven't noticed anything weird or uncomfortable. From reading re-transition blogs elsewhere on the tinterwebs, I was warned to expect the first couple of periods to be horrible, but that hasn't been my experience; I had, and regularly used, prescription painkillers for years before starting T and it has been a very welcome surprise to discover that periods have become completely pain-free and relatively easy. I am now 41 and expect that menopause will start doing its thing in a few years from now.

The gender clinic has been very good and is continuing to keep me in its care, and at my last appointment I was told this will continue for probably another couple of years to ensure all is well and stable.

In myself, I feel good. I needed to make this transition to male for my own personal journey, and I have no regrets. The gender clinic keep calling it de-transition, and it feels wrong because "de-transition" feels like going backwards, and it feels like anything but. It might be a medical-model way of describing it, to call it de-transition, so I wish they would be more holistic about it and I'm going to say so.

I'll leave it there for now. I know I haven't said much about my sense of self/social this time, but I'll pick up on this another time. Take care, hoping all goes well with you.

Hi & intro

Hi, I'm Rowan, 40 / coming up 41, UK, female at birth. I started my transition to male/genderqueer about three years ago, and I've been on T since September 2012. I haven't had any surgery, and I'd been intending to have top surgery about a year from now ... until I realised that I don't actually want it, and from there, it's been realising that I don't want to be on T any more either. I'm not regretting because I needed to do this, and here is where I'm at. Finding communities of people in similar retransition journeys and reflections feels helpful right now.

My sense of me is simply me - perhaps non-binary fits; my thing has been androgyny for the last 20 years and if I hadn't done the FTM thing, I'd have been sat there wondering. I felt I needed to come to androgyny from the 'male direction', so to speak. And there's androgyny, and then there's realising there are a whole lot more things I want to explore about experiencing myself as a woman again.

I love what T has done to my voice... and I gather that over time, body hair may well grow more slowly, finer, softer - and that all of this is very individual. As for facial hair, it's not growing in massively but it is noticeable, and as I have dark hair with fair skin, I'm currently wondering about laser and have started researching that.

anyway, look forward to reading, sharing, and thank you for creating this community.

Hello. I've found this community while strongly considering quitting T therapy. I'm on T since late 2006. I had my breasts removed but I've decided to keep my ovaries and uterus down there. I would like to ask you, especially people who were on T for longer than couple of years, prefereably 6,7,8 years and more, a couple of questions that can't stop thinking about.

1. Did your body shape change drastically after stopping T? My case is quite funny because even after 8 years I look more or less the same. I've got a bit slimmer on T, losing my butt area but I've never been very girlish in shape nor am I very man-looking (but enougt to pass in 100%) If my body reverted to its pre-T shape...I would be fine with it but still I would like to keep what I have to the most possible degree.

2. If you experienced balding/thinning hair...did it grow back and became better in texture/density? I am aware that once it's lost, it's never possible to recover it to juvenile hairline. I used to have long hair for years and I still keep it long. It's still good looking hair but it's receding in temple area and definitely thinner than it used to be in pre-T time. I've always had rather fine hair (but it was a LOT to begin with). To keep it short: did you regrow some? And did the remaining hair gained density/thickness? I am super worried about this

3. Did you experience weight gain or weight loss while being off T? I've always been rather slim and Testosterone made me even slimmer as it cause my butt fat disappear. I don't know what to expect because I'm no longer 20 and metabolism tends to go slower with years. I hope to stay the same but please share your experience.

Thank you very much in advance for any answer

PS. Sorry for any possible typos or mistakes, English is my second language.

endometrial ablation

[Mar. 12th, 2014|12:25 am]

Stopping Testosterone

xxboy884

hi,

i'm not on testosterone at the moment for various reasons but i was on for 6 years, and live full time as male / stealth. since being off t eventually bleeding restarted and none of my attempts to stop it (mainly having an IUD inserted) have helped, which has been quite stressful, although i've been coping much better than i did pre-t.

my doctor has been really helpful and she's offered me a referral for endometrial ablation. i was wondering if anybody has undergone this procedure and whether or not it was effective in ceasing bleeding long term? i'd really love to speak to somebody who has been through this experience. i guess i have some reservations as it's a procedure i know very little about.

if people would prefer not to comment here i'm happy for anyone to send me a direct message.

thanks.

Stopping Testosterone After 12 Years... Need support

[Jan. 4th, 2014|07:06 am]

Stopping Testosterone

pathsoflife

Hey Guys, I joined today to try to connect with some ftms who were on testosterone, preferably a LONG time, and made a choice to stop T or had to stop T and have been off it. I am experiencing anxiety and ambivalence as to what to do and need some support from others who have been in my situation or similar and understand. I have been on T 12 years now, post op, 31 and juggling some issues about quitting T. I plan to remain living FT as male regardless of hormones but have some reasons I am debating to stop taking them. Can anyone help? open to connecting? I'd really appreciate it. I feel so lost right now

peri and breast regrowth

[Jun. 12th, 2013|11:55 pm]

Stopping Testosterone

xxboy884

i stopped testosterone 9 months ago after 6 years of being on it. i'm not detransitioning and still identify as male and want to keep my body as male looking as possible, but due to medical reasons i was advised to try coming off and at this point i don't really want to go back on.

in the last couple of months or so my chest has been very tender to the touch. i havent paid a huge amount of attention to it and it comes and goes, but isnt always in line with monthly bleeding or anything like that.

i'm starting to worry that i'm experiencing breast regrowth as i feel like my chest is sort of swollen and softer to touch than before. i feel as though i can see my nipples etc through tshirts much more than before, and i'm feeling really paranoid that i'm starting to look like i have little moobs.

i'm stealth in the majority of my life and i'm freaking out that it's going to get worse and i'm going to have to start binding again / pay for surgery again (something i definitely can't afford). i'd been coping quite well being off t until this point, the bleeding stuff hasn't really bothered me and i've had minimal noticable fat redistribution, but this is something i am struggling to stop worrying about.

i was genuinely under the impression that after top surgery the chance of regrowth, even off hormones, was minimal to none - but i'm wondering if that's because people have had DI and not peri, and maybe they didn't remove the gland or whatever that allows my chest to grow. i had surgery at 18 so i'm scared maybe my body had more growth left in it or something and that's happening now. but part of me might just be being paranoid - i'm not really sure at this point.

tl;dr - has anyone who had peri stopped testosterone? did you notice any regrowth? did the regrowth stop quite soon or actually become full breasts? i'm totally freaking out my old chest is just going to grow back, or enough of it to mean i cant feel comfortable in tshirts anymore. i hope not!

Stopping Testosterone

kyle_power_458

Hey everyone,

My name is Kyle and I've been on T for about 3 years now and am 2 years post-op. I've been thinking about stopping for a long time now, and recently decided to do it.

However, I'm finding that I literally am just unable to do it. I tried going down gradually (switched to gel from injections so I could make the process easier) but my body just fell apart. Physically speaking, after two weeks my hands started shaking, I was sleeping all day, my whole body ached. Emotionally, it was a roller coaster. I went from not having cried in three years to crying three to four times a day. Needless to say, I went back to my normal weekly injections.

I'm wondering if you all experienced this, or had any tricks to deal with the roller coaster shifting your hormone balance does to your body? I've seen some people talk about going on birth control to help with their acne after stopping T, could that possibly help with the exhaustion/depression I've experienced when I try to go off? Also, how quickly did you go down on your dose? I'm not telling my doctor that I'm doing this (I know, I know. I should.) so I'm sort of just playing it by how my body responds. Maybe I'm just going too fast.

Thanks!
