The journey begins...

OK, as most of you know I'm a MtF and I'm doing the alcohol castration method.

Should you decide to do this, please all 40+ pages of the thread so you know what the hell you're doing.

I did my first injection today - 1.5cc's of Everclar into each testicle and I took my freakin' time!

It feels SO good to be on my way to shutting them down.

I'm sore right now...testicles, gut (the place you'd be sore if you were kicked in the balls) and my lower back. The lower back could be from being hunched over while sitting down.

I'll inject again in two weeks, or the 19th. Even if I 'feel' like the testicles have recovered enough for me to hit them again before that, I'm going to wait to be on the safe side.

I wont see any results yet as it's to soon but I'll keep everyone posted.

PS...I'm a non-drinker, so if injecting Everclear into the testicles made one drunk, I'd be feeling it right now and I'm not. So if you've heard that it does, it's a myth.

One treatment down - unknown quantity to go.

OK, it took me most of the week to get over being sore but I finally have. They were a little tender all week but they're ok now.

The swelling has gone down and I'm thinking....thinking about doing it again tomorrow, which would be a week earlier than I intended.

Will keep you posted on what I decide to do.

Just do it when you're comfortable doing it again. There is nothing sacred about altering your initial plan, either shorter or longer as your body may want. Best wishes on your journey!

OK, with my testicles feeling fine I decided to try the injections today, a week in advance.

I managed to get 1.5cc's into the right one, but I started to get blood so I stopped. No major complications, whatever it was, it stopped.

I tried the left and got about .5 cc's into it before I got a 'full' feeling so I stopped.

I guess they're still recovering from last week.

A couple new policies...

First, even if I feel fine I'm going to wait two weeks.

Second, I'm downing the dosage to about 1 cc. I'll inject until I get that 'full' feeling in them and stop.

Let my body determine when to inject and when to stop.

All very wise comments, Rayne.

Listen to your body, it won't lie to you.

OK, Here's an update...

My first injection I was able to get 1.5cc's into each one and was sore.

A week later they felt fine so I tried injecting and barely got .5 into each one as I was to sore from the previous week.

I decided to wait two weeks, which was last Sat.

I tried injecting last week and it was to painful - barely got any in at all - but decided there was a reason it hurt so bad and listened to my body.

I'll give it another go this Saturday - the 5th - which is also my birthday.

My sex drive is down - way down! It feels so much better to have taken the edge off that and put me back in control. I'm calmer now and things don't bother me much. I really hope I can inject them to the point where they turn small and hard - then I'll stop.

Until then I'll keep injecting....a little at a time if I have to...until I get to my goal.
