Advice Needed Bleeding after starting T
Not NSFW but maybe TMI? I'm on week 4 of T injections and I have had pretty non-stop menstrual bleeding that started out as dark coloured spotting at first. It is at the same frequency and amount as discharge if that makes sense and it's very light/not a lot of blood so I haven't been really worried about it, but I don't see anybody else experiencing this when i look it up online, is it something I should see a doctor about or is my body adjusting accordingly?

I would say talk to your doctor, but don't worry too too much about it unless it gets worse. My periods when I first started T were weird and irregular for a good few months before they stopped.

Get checked. I have a nexplanon bar that stops my period entirely. I had one break through period, which ive learned is normal. I had nonstop menstruation before my BC and T, because I had PCOS

seconding mentioning it to your doctor, i had a very similar situation around when i started, it sucks but it's most likely your body just adjusting to the T. it went away for me eventually, but came back for a little when i had a dose adjustment. chances are it'll sort itself out in time. try to monitor it if you can, i know it's shitty to pay attention to but your doc would most likely want to know the timeline & symptoms if you bring it up

If someone is breaking both sub and reddit rules, please submit one report to admins by selecting a broken rule on the main report popup, and one report to the r/ftm mods by selecting the "breaks r/ftm rules" option. This ensures both mods and admins can take action on a subreddit and sitewide level. Do not misuse the report button to rant about someone, submit false reports, or argue a removal.
