At the beginning of this month I went in for my annual blood lab, recommended for folks on HRT. My testosterone level is up from 131 ng/dL (last year) to 288 ng/dL. I’m still on the low end of the “average male range” which, shockingly enough ranges greatly depending on the source. But it appears to maybe be somewhere between 250 ng/dL-1100 ng/dL. Lol surprise! Gender isn’t a science! hahahaha. I’ve been on a 50mg dose (half of the maximum allowable dose) of topical Testosterone gel for 2 years and 5 months, and I was on a 25mg dose for 6 months before that. It’s definitely been a more gradual shift than what I have observed most folks using injections experience, but that works for me.

Anyway, I’m happy with my T levels, as they gradually rise. I’ve got a fair dusting of facial hair that’s really sky-rocketed over the past 2-3 months. The hair on my chest is also finally starting to grow back, 6.5 months after surgery!
