My Journey Started Today (1/17/19)

It is funny how this happens. I was so intent on keeping a record when I started androcur. Had a spread sheet for measurements, bought some vernier calipers. Filled it in religiously every night, UNTIL the chemical castration worked, and then it really wasn't of any interest. As I have said elsewhere, the emotional and mental effects were so more profound than I ever expected, and much of those seem permanent even though I have been uncastrated (?) since January. I don't know if the physical effects will be more important when I am surgically castrated, the hot flashes and night sweats were a nuisance now I think of it, but the curiosity about shrinkage and ejaculate colour and volume disappeared with my testosterone. If t hadn't been for the shortness of breath, I would still be there.

I started out the same, spreadsheet including pictures. But after a month of being on Spiro I didn't care anymore. After starting E too, I cared about it even less. And now that I am surgically castrated I'm on the road permanently and liking the journey.

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. I stopped taking my siterone after 9 days. I started having some constipation issues around day 7 and by day 9 I was getting annoyed so I stopped. Never noticed much of a change, although erections became difficult for about 2 weeks. Now I'm back to normal. I can't say whether the gastro issue was from the Siterone or not.

To be clear, I still plan on trying chemical castration, but at this point I'm putting it off until the fall. I run a landscaping business and I'm not sure if chemical castration will interfere with my work, so I wanna wait until things are winding down to start. Might look into depo provera as an alternative method.

Like I said, sorry for disappearing, and for stopping, but it was what was right for me.

Wanted to give everyone a brief update. I started my second run at chemical castration this morning by injecting 2 150ml doses of depo provera, one in each buttcheek. However, I'm not going to provide updates on the archive for several weeks. I feel awful about starting this thread and then not seeing it through. It's just clutter now and doesn't do anyone much good, other than saying that I felt pain in my balls, they shrunk a little, and my lactose intolerance makes Cyproterone acetate a bad choice for me.

So instead, I'll be keeping a diary on my laptop, logging my experience. Once I'm fully immersed in chemical castration, and actually have something of value to report, then I'll post my experience with regular updates. I'm thinking 4-6 weeks from now.

If you have any questions, feel free to pm me. I just don't want to have a repeat of this thread where it starts and then dies without providing much information. There's enough of those threads here already.
