How do you deal with yourh HRT and dating? What / how much do you say and when? Do you tell the truth or hide it? It's a pretty big part of our lives and requires pretty much daily managing, so it's hard to hide... How do you explain it? If at all...
I wouldn't say anything until the relationship becomes more than just dating
My trt only requires managing two days a week for about 15 minutes. . Not daily at all.
But to answer, no. Nobody needs to know really, unless you live together, or talking about living together.
Probably about the same time she tells you about her hormone history and medication list. About the same time you consider getting engaged. No reason to bring it up before then IMO.
I don't bother telling casual flings anything.
Most of my gear is in a locked box in the fridge. If girls start asking questions, I just say it's medicine. If asked why it's locked up, I tell them I want to keep everything clean.
Even the girls lucky enough to hang around don't get told much. The most I say is that it's medicine, and when they see the insulin syringe, they assume it's insulin.
Male Westerners friends that are visiting are different; I don't mind telling them what's going on.
Not to get away from the subject but I wouldn't store your gear in the fridge. It should be stored at room temp away from sunlightQuote:

Is there room for mine when I come to visit? :)Quote:

Currently lots of room in Pattaya, but may be looking for a smaller, more conveniently located place in May when the lease is up.Quote:

I've read so much about guys having trouble drawing Testosterone through a small needle that I've been letting it warm before pre-loading; however, I tried it cold last week with a 30g needle and didn't have a problem.
LOL, yeah and I'd hide the HCG behind a tub of Land O Lakes butter on the fridge door when I was dating my wife.Quote:

My Wife said she had her suspicions, but wasnt concerned because I had everything together. Now we're nearing our 50's & she's actually very thankful for my TRT.
The right time & words will come if truly warranted...
They can usually tell by the size of my balls something isnt right so i tell them lol
Sounds like you need some hCG in your protocol.
Dude, its the best option. Its better rather to hide or show lame excuse.
If your TRT is via transdermal gel (I started with Androgel), then yes, it's responsible to tell her that, and where on your skin to avoid contact.
Once I hit college, I realized that a whole lot of ppl have their stash of pills (but let's avoid talking about recreational drug use here), or they've got some disorder, e.g. eating disorder.
If you're attracted to each other, and you're just dating, then I don't see why it's necessary to drag the skeletons out of the closet. For example, if she's on antidepressants, I don't need or expect her to tell me that. imho.
I wouldn't discuss my meds while dating any more than she would hers. if it became more than dating she would have to accept that I know what I'm doing and I self administer test and other bodybuilding drugs as supplements to my healthy lifestyle. So I would bring it up as soon as it started to get serious to find out if it's worth continuing the effort. not while dating though.
