testosterone level
Hi all. I just got the results from my first testosterone test back today. I was soooo excited I had to share it with someone and I figured what better place to share. My level was at 34 (yay) i has been self medicating with lots of estrogen, spiro,and depo provera from december 1st to feb 20th. But since then have had nothing for almost a month and a half except 100mg of spiro monday thru friday of last week. My blood was taken friday. I was sure it would be higher. Im so happy lol. I get zero random errections but can still get it up while being intimate with the wife. Im curious to hear levels of others from the site and what got you to those levels

Re: testosterone level
34 is very low. You will need to obtain guidance regarding the negative health side effects of very low T.
Over the years I have had T levels from a high of over 800 (a temporary negative side effect of prescribed testosterone) to a low of under 100 (a positive side effect of
a)siterone (not permanent (costly, and drug has many negative side effects) b)teste alcohol injections (inexpensive, permanent, potentially dangerous, but for me very effective)
You would think high T would be highly desirable. After all doesn't every guy want to be a sex machine? But for me it was no fun needing sexual release several times a day. High T makes me loose control of myself. There is no satisfying high T. If I had my life to do over again I would do whatever needed to eliminate testosterone from my body at an early age.
Low T enables me to be in control of myself. In a way I miss instant erections, but overall I feel so much better. Low T has become the lesser evil of two options. But Low T comes with negative health consequences.
Lab test indicates that without using TRT, my balls are no longer producing testosterone. They are hard as rocks and are completely numb, which is an unexpected but very enjoyable side effect of alcohol injections. They are currently larger than their original size, but I anticipate in the next few months they may shrink to a very small size. Right now it is odd having two large numb nuts rubbing between my legs.
I have no M2F desires. For my entire life I had castration cravings. In recent months when I would have high T, my craving to be castrated was very real and very elevated. When my T level dropped, my interest in being castrated dropped. I find this a very odd thing, with no explanation, but I guess each of us has our oddities.
Sadly, some men wind up loosing their testosterone, due to accident or medical reasons, and they had no desire or interest in having low testosterone. This for them must be, in reverse, as frustrating and problematic as high testosterone has been for me. The problem with high natural T is that it is very difficult to get it lowered. At least with low T, if a person does not like living with low T, today there are supplements that can help to bring it up.
If I were to imagine a perfect world, it would be one in which once a man's balls started producing sperm, he would first create and put into storage his frozen sperm and then his balls would be removed and also put into cold storage. If / when that man wanted to produce children, his frozen sperm, or the sperm stored in his balls could be obtained as needed and used. Then each person could use supplement testosterone to maintain health and achieve a T level that was to their needs. This might help reduce rape, rage, and unwanted children. That would be some storage room, full of frozen balls.

Re: testosterone level
When I was in the hospital a little more than a month ago, I went through estrogen withdraw. The hot flashes and sweating felt like a fever that felt like it was going to kill me. Then I would end up freezing cold and shivering. It was awfull. So for about the next month I would guess I had the mental state of a eunuch. Very calm and even tempered (sometimes depressed) and no need for sex. I enjoyed this state very much but I lost all desire for sex along with the need. I started taking estrogen and spiro again a week ago but with those test results spiro might not have been entirely necessary. Lol. This week I will get my legitimate prescriptions in the mail so I will stop self medicating and do things right from now on. If you have estrogen in your system do you have to worry aabout T as low as mine. I would think for a MTF especially in the early stages of transition extermely low T would be desirable for feminization.

Re: testosterone level
Since starting my self induced techniques to make my balls stop testosterone production I never gave estrogen one iota of thought. Even now I would be well served by a guide book, like "Estrogen for Dummies". I have no idea what my estrogen level was, how it changed as I did different testosterone reducing techniques, or what it is now.
When my testosterone first dropped during the early stages of using Siterone, I guess because of the sudden change, I did have very unpleasant testosterone withdrawal symptoms. I guess this was almost two years ago - my how time flies. Having gone through that, once I started the alcohol injections I did not have a repeat of those withdrawal experiences again, thankfully.
You might say I went from the frying pan into the fire by switching from Siterone to alcohol injections. But Siterone can have so many negative side effects, and it is not permanent, and costly, it seemed for me the wrong way to go. My preference would have been castration, but being unable to obtain that, as an alternative I decided to try the alcohol injection method. That was scary, a tad uncomfortable at first, but after about the third injection there was no more discomfort and it became almost routine. In an odd sort of way, I am going to miss doing those periodic injections. It was kind of neat having really large heavy balls for awhile, although it would be much neater having none.
I am still not sure what my new normal low T should be, as far as numbers go. I probably never will know; reason for that is I need to be using the prescribed dose when I get periodic lab tests which are required to have the testosterone prescription renewed. If the test results are low, that would probably raise a yellow flag, like why is it low? Am I not using the product? Am I giving or selling it to someone else? Or other such things? My Dr. does not know that it was my goal to have low T, or why my T is low. There is no need for him to know; knowing would only cause problems. By using less product I can then order it less often and save a considerable amount of money.
So although past lab tests have shown that I have low natural T, in the future my lab test results will always be normal or normal high from artificial T. I am experimenting with 1/2 dose now. That still seems like too much. In a way it is like having too much caffeine intake; when I have too much caffeine I get all agitated and get the jitters.
With too much testosterone in my system I feel agitated, sexually on the edge - like I feel the sensations of almost wanting to get sexually aroused, but not quite - it's annoying;, plus I am less able to control my emotions. I just feel mentally weird. Also, my life long cravings to be castrated are in the forethought of my mind when my T level is too high.
With too little testosterone I have absolutely no sexual stirrings, get confused, can't concentrate, and have memory lapses. But at least desires to be castrated take a back seat. Constantly craving something that you know isn't going to happen creates its own level of frustration.
Other factors may influence how the same dose of testosterone is affecting me, such as activity level, stress level, maybe even the weather. So the same dose may result in different feelings from day to day.
Dealing with one hormone at a time to find a T dose that provides me with comfort and some health benefits is about all I can handle. Thoughts, analysis, and adjustments to estrogen will have to wait for now.
