I've been chemically/medically castrated under the supervision of our Primary Care Physician for close to a year this time. I was off hormone suppression for about 2 years before that & before that I was chemically/medically castrated under the supervision of an Endocrinologist for close to two ...

I'm about to go back on Lupron Depot. It comes with the option of 3 month, 6 month, & 12 month options. In the past I've only been able to convince my Endocrinologist to go with the 3 month option.

You're right, it's not cheap! But it's AWESOME! It's also NOT hormone based like Depo Provera and ...

Well, tomorrow I go see my Urologist. This time I've got everything in line so there won't be any glitches in getting in to see him.

Now the interesting development. Looks like my PCP & my Cardiologist want me off of Depo-Provera ASAP due to HYPO-Tension! NOT Hyper-Tension, but Hypo-Tension ...

Just got rescheduled to October 21st. I didn't know I was supposed to show up 20 minutes early to fill out a whole bunch of paperwork + fill out all of the paperwork that was supposed to be sent to my house which I never received. I asked the receptionist to please have someone resend the paperwork ...

Pre-Op consultation with Urologist was scheduled this afternoon for October 6th.

Getting VERY nervous!

Just curious- Is there any advantage or disadvantage to keeping to keeping to scrotum or reducing/removing the scrotum & how does that effect healing time?

As a reminder here, my reason is for mental health reasons. Most notably that doing T ...

I guess I need to do more updates. FYI, I'm taking my time & making sure I'm doing the right thing here. My PCP just had me do a 1 month withdrawal from my Depo-Provera shots so we could get a baseline reading on my T count without supression. I've been getting a booster every two weeks so I had a ...

Simple question. Can Depo-Provera promote Gynecomastia? Thanks!

I haven't checked in for a while so here's the latest update. I saw my Psychologist today to get her blessing. We discussed how long I've been on Depo-Provera now at the current level I'm on which is now about four months or so. The results of help stabilize the mood swings on my Bi-Polar have been ...
