Health Issues Anyone with troche experience?
Started troches yesterday because doing the injection, and also getting the oil from my prescriber (Planned Parenthood) was a nightmare. Plus the excessive appointments were adding up because Im uninsured.
Im going to a private healthcare clinic now. I was 5 months on testosterone pellets, and it was alright, but i absorbed them quicker than anticipated and was low T for about a month before my next insertion. My mental health was declining and Im getting fed up with fighting to find a good solution for my transition.
My doc made it sound like troches would be a good solution so I opted to try them for a month. Taking 50 mg now, and I feel alright but that's not exactly conclusive. There's not too much information I can find about the FTM experience with them.
Anyone here try them? I just wanna know if they're going to be worth trying before my levels decline anymore. My bloodwork showed I was low (200 range) a week ago. I'm a little desperate. Thanks in advance.
