PLEASE HELP

I have been in T for seven years. Recently I had renewed my prescription and picked it up. It was accidentally thrown out in the bag that I had purchased it in. I had called my doctor and explained everything and the woman I spoke with said it was no problem and that he will renew the Rx. Well, he wanted bloods first (which made no sense as I had

Hi! I'm sorry this is happening for you.
It is pretty difficult to give you a concrete answer around when/if you can expect to menstruate during this gap in T. Everyone's different. It sounds like T has suppressed menstruation for you at whatever dose you are using, which is the therapeutic goal for many endos, so maybe you have some more info around your own history - how long it took to adjust your dose so that you wouldn't bleed, what your hormone levels have been lately, etc. Anyway some people keep bleeding even while on T, some people start bleeding pretty quickly after stopping T, and some people wait a long time (multiple months / cycles) before they start menstruating after stopping T. Hopefully if it does happen, it will give you more information about your body and won't be too awful for you!

As far as I can remember bleeding stopped immediately. Hormone levels are in the high normal range for a cis male to slightly high.

I am hoping that it will not happen. I am in a situation that I imagine many men are in where being Transgender is simply a medical condition with horrible consequences to my life. I am a man only, I do not identify as Transgender so to speak. I am stuck with this condition and in no way am I ok with it. For me it has always been a matter of medical intervention that is needed to correct this. Unfortunately, at this point in time I do not have the funds for full surgery (I've had top surgery though) and I use prosthetics. There is a huge amount of anger and hatred even in something as simple as taking a shower. I know that any bleeding will be a huge psychological blow and I just feel like this doctor has completely disregarded my well being.

Sorry for the long reply and thank you very much for your input.

Just to throw it out there-before I had my justo I know I've accidentally skipped a shot before and then resumed my normal schedule. I got kind of moody or something but I think you have to be off it longer than one shot cycle to start bleeding again.

Thanks! I finally got the Rx filled without any issues.
