The results are in!
I am healthy! Blood results are good all the way across the board; I even have good Vitamin D levels which is very surprising.
The amazing thing is that even though I am on a daily dosage of Testosterone, my Testosterone levels have not changed. I do however feel a cognitive difference with Testosterone. I feel it makes me a little more analytically with my emotions. Additionally, it is as if the addition of Testosterone to my brain makes my brain react slower emotionally; allowing myself to rationally decide whether or not something is worth getting upset about.
For example, when I was without Testosterone (Estrogen and Progesterone only) I would emotionally react before I even had time to think about why I was in a sense "freaking out." The "freak out" or emotional meltdown for me and other persons I have spoken with on the subject is when a person basically panics emotionally allowing multiple emotions to invade your subconscious and conscious mind. At this point in time your brain does not know which reaction to use and therefore confusing the person and shutting down all logic. It is not until after the emotional meltdown; that you begin to logically analyze what had just happened before the emotional melt down.

No Meds...
So It is 11:17am on Tuesday and I have completely forgot to apply my BHRT today. I am so exhausted it is like I can not wake up. I can't wait to get home and put it on.
