[Technically, it was yesterday. 100mg.
Haha. Sorry to make a post of it. I was just excited. It's a little funny, I never quite thought this day would come for me. I've been around here forever watching everyone else progress while I just kind of sat there from the sidelines...
I was also kind of curious as to what dosage everyone else was on and how often you take it.]

Oh, ace! Lucky you.
Are you injecting or using patches/gel? If it's the former, tell me how you do it. Because the idea of injecting myself is one of the things I'm kind of apprehensive about.

[I'm injecting, sorry...^^;; Oh, but not by myself yet, nononononooooo.... My best friend's mom is an RN, and so is my mom. They're going to help me until I'm brave enough to do it myself.
As for yesterday though, I don't even want to describe how I was when they were going to give me the shot. I had two friends there, and the poor nurse, who had to try three different methods to get my pants down enough to stick the needle in. >.> I was so freaking out when she took out the needles...]

How big was the needle? I don't think I could stick myself anytime soon with anything. I don't mind when a doctor or a nurse does it but I can't do it to myself.
Any changes yet?

[The needle is 18 gauge, but only until I fill it up, then I switch the needle to a 22 gauge.
Nah, no changes yet, I just woke up a bit ago. ;D]

That's great! I'm happy for ya.
I started the first two shots at 50 mg, am now on 100. And tomorrow is the first time I'll inject myself WITHOUT the doctor by my side. I hope I won't screw up. gonk
My needles are also slightly bigger than the ones I used before.. and they hurt. I almost filled up a whole bandage thingy with my blood last time.

16 here, but I'm a bit of an exception. Usually people aren't allowed to start at my age, but I was allowed by who knows what miracle.

I know another 16 year old who started T. I believe he's 18 now. He's already had top surgery too. He looks fantastic.

I'm 25, though I was 23 when I started on T. My dosage started out at 50mg every 10 days. I'm currently on 75mg every week, down from 100mg every week at my peak dosage.

Nios I know another 16 year old who started T. I believe he's 18 now. He's already had top surgery too. He looks fantastic. Really? And does he live in Canada? Since I'm in Quebec, my T's covered, but I don't know about top surgery. If possible, I wanted to do it this year or the next.

He lives in the states. From what I remember I believe that Quebec does technically cover top surgery, but the only sugeons that do chest surgery in Quebec are private which means that it's not covered.
