Jack Chats FTM - 5 MONTHS on T

hello my name is Jack, I'm 24 years old and live in Adelaide South Australia. I am Vlogging my Transition from Female to Male as I identify as being Transgender.
This Video is about my 5 Months on T, I will talk about changes I have noticed and seeing my Endocrinologist Dr Anthony Roberts at the Royal Adelaide Hospital.

Oh boy, bleeding and cramps suck. I hope you and your doctor find a decent solution...
I was a bit worried not to find a 4 months vid a month ago. ;-)

searchingforwhatever. Hey cheers man, wow your progress is going so awesome!! Good on you!!
Yeah turns out I am needing a Hysterectomy, which I'm more than ok with. But the pain and bleeding is beyond the joke!!

Why are you using Mirena, if you don't mind my asking? It seems really strange to me to have an estrogenic IUD while taking testosterone. T should shut down normal uterine functions, though is not a contraceptive. Also is there a reason your endo didn't suggest lowering your T, so it isn't as high (and thus aromatizing)?? I'm just curious since my HRT journey has been relatively uneventful so I like to learn about other people's experiences.

Noah Beller hey,
I have the Mirena as I get heavy irregular bleeding and severe cramps. It helped before T and stayed inside to ensure that I wouldn't get break through bleeding.
Though it's not working now, as T is not working with it.
As I said in my Video, my Endo is trying to get my bleeding under control. It's not a long term solution it's just what we are trying for now. I am keen to get a Hysto.
So I'm making steps towards that.
