Hello.
My name is Jamie. Not exactly new to the group, but certainly new to participating in forum. This is the nearest topic descriptor for me to ask a question specific to hormones. I am early 40’s and started medications literally 33 days ago. I must say, I am totally shocked and excited about changes so far. Certainly subtle but, holy cow, I certainly didn’t even expect this at this point. Was wondering if others can relate?
1 – My face is the clearest it has EVER been in regards to acne. Like, since pre-teen. I don’t think I ever had such a length of time with zero acne spots popping up. It has always been at least one spot clearing up while another starts. This is great!
2 – My mindset… Just my ability to focus and even feeling ambitious at my job and being less prone to procrastination. Testosterone isn’t helping me with a general good sense of being it seems.
3 – So, should my nipples already be sore? Ha. just rubbing my chest, I definitely feel a slight dull ache behind my nipples, similar to pushing on a bruise. One is tender more so than the other. I just went for my 1 mo. bloodwork for my endo and no news will be good news as far as results, and labs again at month 3. This is just surprising to feel when all literature made it sound like its a 3-6 month thing. Is this a concern, Am I an outlier?
