I have the results of my blood tests, and it’s a very odd result… My testosterone level is actually UP from where it was on the 2nd March (1.2 nmol/L or 35 ng/dl).

Now it’s 2.9 nmol/L or 84 ng/dl… What the hell happened!!

As of today I’m upping my Androcur dosage to 100 mg a day and I’ll get tested again in a month.

Wow that IS weird. 100mg sounds like a sensible plan. I don't have any plans on dropping my dosage from 100mg any time soon.

Yes, well it's certainly got me scratching my head!

I'm just writing a blog entry with a bit more detail of my test results...

Holy smoke! 😲 How many pills did you order?

I guess sooner or later I'm going to have to decide whether to place my next order with Allday or Inhouse - they both seem to have their advantages and disadvantages...

P.S. Thanks for the comment on my blog... I nearly wet myself laughing!

haha no, I think 75% of those messages are from you! Feel the love! ;)

as for the pills, I ordered 168x Raloxifene, 200x Androcur and 168x Citalopram. The Raloxifene is the killer! I may cut down on that in the future...

I don't live with cats, but I have 2 dogs... no nipple dramas here....... coincidence? 😄

I get lonely… and now you pointed it out I think I may have an abusive cat!

I probably ought to seek therapy - Oh, hang on… :D

Tamoxifen is very cheap at Allday, and now you've pointed out that my sore nipples are probably due to the cat, I think it works okay!

Tamoxifen is not necessary

My understanding is that it can help prevent gynecomastia and reduces the risk of osteoporosis. Also I believe that when taken with an anti-androgen it can help reduce the sex drive even further.

Raloxifene and Tamoxifen are very similar.

At least that’s my understanding - I’m no expert!

Just popping in to warn of the dangers with using high doses of cyproterone.
Cyproterone_acetate#Side_effects 2.9 nmol is only slightly higher than the female upper range and still much less than the male lower range. Keep it at 50mg, and WannaBeSmall, if your levels are looking nice and low, try dropping your dose to 50mg. Yes, it is half of what you're currently taking, but it is still a large dose. www.reddit.com/r/TransDIY has a lot of information.

agree, androcur and other antiandrogens just should be used for a brief period not for a lifetime
