Hi Noah, I'm a cis older gay man, and I watch your channel to learn more about trans issues and challenges. I've done a lot of volunteer work in LGBTQ non-profits over the years and worked with trans men and women. But I never felt like I understood their personal challenges and so I wanted to educate myself. I enjoy watching you because I relate to your sense of humor and that you're a very grounded and self-aware guy. Anyway I thought I'd share my testosterone experience hoping you might find it helpful. I had low testosterone and so I started using the daily gel. The gel worked well. It is another thing you have to do every morning, but you have that 4 hour window where you can't do anything that might cause you to sweat or wash it off like swimming. Then my doctor changed me to the pellets that they put under your skin every 3 months. I didn't like the implanted pellets. You get that drop in T for a week to ten days before your due for new implants. Obviously I take less T then you, but I'm currently on weekly self injections with a short needle so I'm not getting the scar tissue. The weekly injection pen works best for me. So good luck to you!
I have been doing the same thing and find Noah’s channel informative.
@Cam Morrison What?? Do you mean? Am I misunderstanding or? Cis men can have low testosterone and need to take testosterone to correct it. Just google it bro. He probably isn't lying lmao
@Cam Morrison, since you don't know me, your uninformed opinion is worth less than anything president trump says!
If it wasn't for me and my generation, as well as those that fought before me, Noah wouldn't have a channel, or any civil rights, or medical care to make his transition possible. Also idiots like you wouldn't be able to spew your worthless accusations here or anywhere else.
If Noah wants to ask me questions he is certainly welcome to do so.
But bullies like you are entitled to nothing.
@@whatisthis1958 , a majority of older males will experience a decrease in Testosterone. When your level drops below 300 you get symptoms of decreased energy and short term memory loss are two typical symptoms. I give myself a weekly injection of Xyosted 75mg.
@@detcarguymichigan4021 Huh, I didn't know that. I learn something new each day I guess :D
I’m a straight cis male who lives in a conservative town and I’m watching these vids to educate myself. It’s cool to be able to learn directly from someone who has the first-hand experience.
That's cool!
Noah: my speaking for this video is not coming out well
Me: Isn't that the theme for all Noah videos?
I was so confused until I realized that he was using a different version
That's pretty much what I thought he was going to do tbh
Same HAHAHA
I thought he was pausing temporarily because of the current lockdown, kind of a way of lowering the strain on nurses
me too
The dislikes are the testosterone upset that Noah is ditching it 😂😂
xd
Omg thats so funny dude 😍😍
Cam Morrison there’s no point arguing with you, because I know your wrong. It’s just a shame you can’t admit it
Cam Morrison Transgender people have gender dysphoria idiot, which is a neurological condition-not a fantasy.
I literally emailed my doctor immediately after watching this if I could switch from learning to self inject next month ( to limit exposure to COVID) to taking gel and she said YES SO THANK YOU

I'm not on T but I do have to do insulin bc of type 1 diabetes, I can relate to the scar tissue issue (haha it rhymes) in the future I wanna go on a low dose of the gel I think
eiley j I am a fellow type 1 who wants to hopefully take t in the future but I worry with it being a hormone it’ll make my levels very inconsistent (even more so than normal 😂) :/
Oof diabetes squad, hey there
I'm type 1 too, do you know if taking T will make it my levels more difficult to control or if it has any side effects?
That should be a book. Scar tissue issues.
Hey T1D buddy!!! Feel free to message me if you have any questions I also started on gel 👍
Congrats on 2 years Noah
When I get to finally have testosterone I plan on getting gel because I have a terrible fear of shots and I don't think I would ever be able to stab my leg every week.
im on gel and i personally think its better then shots for your mental health because of the consistancy
i've been on t for 7 months doing needles and i only started on shots bc i wanted a higher dose, i was originally planning on doing gel. the shots aren't as bad as you think they would be. i have to do mine every week. it's your choice but i was so worried about doing shots and it was never as bad as i thought it would be, it's gotten a lot better than when i started
@@rubenmorais1249 yeah, im on gel and i find and feel its best if you have mood up and down daily/ have depression or other mood disorders. Thats what my gender care doctor said was best because of my mood being up and down so frequently day to day as well as having depression and anxiety. Also its my 4 months on testosterone. Woop! 🎉
i'm on gel because i fainted with shots and now i'm gooood my beard is coming stronger than ever
Same
so weird that this showed up in my recommended right now, ive been having the same exact issues with my T shots and am highly considering switching to gel around 1 year on T (im about 9 months now) hoping it works out for you !!! would appreciate updates as well to maybe help with my own decision making !
good luck! and i’m sure i’ll make a vid about it at some point
I'm switching to subcutaneous for my next injection for the same reason. Hopefully that will be better.
Hey! Same here. Sucks big time tbh, what type of T are you on rn if you don't mind me asking?
Ah yes, T gel: Boi Jelly, Man Jam, Anticistamine Cream, MANitizer, Boy Sauce
I don't know if I love or HATE that 😂
SS G I know right😂😂
walks into room
Turns around
Sniff* I almost forgot my man jelly
Please.... Not.... Not boy sauce...

Inconsistent testosteron levels sounds like living on a roller-coaster o.O
lmao i knew this would be some sneaky title
Hi
I'm from Germany and we have mainly two types of Testosterone: Gel and Injections. We have different types of injections. 1000mg which you get every three month, one, which you get every two weeks and one you get every 4 weeks
I started with Gel for half a year and then I started with injections every 11 weeks (about 3 month). I like injections more than the gel, but both do exactly the same: they let you get your puberty.
Here in Germany, many doctors recommend starting with gel to get used your body to testosterone, and than later getting the injections
Basically the same here in Finland. I was offered a chance to change from gel to shots after half a year on T, but I'm going with gel for now.
I'm also from Germany so thanks for the comment... because I'm not on t just yet.... probably this summer
I don't want to get gel and hope it will be fine with the doctor and get any type of injections... even though I'm scared as hell because of the needles.... but my current lifestyle would not be the best for using gel and also I'm not the best in remembering to use it every day anyways... so I hope for the injections...
@@13Sammy same
@@13Sammy am german too, just started with shots every four weeks. "testoviron" it's called, i believe. maybe just ask your endo about that?
Sam91 You can start with injections as well! Actually, I only now people (myself included 😁) who started with injections, mainly with Nebido. It probably depends on what your endocrinologist prefers, but I believe that asking him could go a long way 👌
thank you for being here to educate and inspire so many people!!!! you are loved by many:)
Thats AWESOME that you're finally able to switch to a different type of T. The minute i saw the title i was hoping thats what it was . Ive followed you for a while and watched your ups and downs and i even left comments suggested switching to a diff. type before but i remember i think you said it had something to do with insurance only covering the standard shots (stupid medical industry. i know how that is with my own issues with insurance NOT covering the drug that would actually work for you and only covering like the shitty generic substitutes, etc) It must have SUCKED to have to go through those Ups-and-Downs like that for so long. Having your hormones go up and down like that constantly just makes you feel weird and icky. I'm nonbinary ,I dont take anything for that specifally but I also have endometriosis and concurrent hormone issues that go with it where they were just all over the place for years. I take hormone blockers now on the daily and just blocking my hormones completely has been freaking amazing for my physical health but also my mental health. the pain of endo was bad enough to deal with but the up and down mental stuff and wanting to claw myself out of my own skin feeling is gone as well. hormones are nuts. glad you're gettin' yours sorted FINALLY! its been a long time coming and hope this works a LOT better for you!
I’m glad you’re doing what’s good for your mental and physical health!! I hope that the gel works well. And please give us an update on how the gel does :)
This is very informative, especially to someone thinking about starting at some point.
Thank you for making these videos! I am glad there are people comfortable enough to speak about their experiences with this stuff. I hope to start testosterone someday and I feel like your videos help me understand more about it :)
I love the amount of energy you always have in your videos😂💞
The title though.
I did shots for almost my whole first year of being on t and just like your experience I hated it. Last month I tried pellets and it did not go well for me. Over the course of a month they fully rejected and floated up through my skin and I had to get them removed and when they were removed my doctor said he was so shocked because 1) he had never seen this happen before and 2) the pellets never dissolved even a bit and they should have been dissolved at least half size. But because they didn't dissolve, that meant I was accidentally off of testosterone for a month without knowing it. Now on back on shots for a few months and we may or may not try again with the pellets in june.
o shit! that sounds dreadful i’m sorry. is there no option to go on gel?
Its your body's natural defense fighting against foriegn substances and materials that don't belong.. Maybe you should listen to what your body is telling you, women don't belong on a male levels of testosterone. Stop fighting biology.
@@cortneycline3619 fuck off mate
@@NOAHFINNCE I'm apart of a gender study program and in this specific program they really refuse to do gel until you are at perfect levels because it is apparently harder for them to monitor the level when its gel instead of shots or pellets. There is also a patch that I am looking into.
@@cortneycline3619 literally fuck off? I'm just trying to live my best life and I couldn't give 2 shits what you have to say about it, go on and live your boring life and let me live mine
Your energy you bring to these videos is awesome!
this really reminds me of the hormonal changes someone with a menstrual cycle goes through. Acne, fatigue, high anxiety are all symptoms associated with PMS. I feel you, I have bad PMS and it sucks ass so bad, I hope your new testosterone helps with all the side effects you're experiencing! ( also, you're speaking very legibly )
The tablets are illegal in the U.S, apparently they've been linked to liver damage.
I know somebody who uses them, he lives in Florida. They put them in your butt cheek Maybe it's only not recommended by doctors in some states? Idk man
But Kinder Chocolate Suprise eggs are also illegal/forbidden in the US....different country different views
@@lavadad2629 oh no I meant like the pills you take by mouth. The implant things are good I think, just uncommon.
@@majamuller8790 They're not illegal anymore. At least not here in NYC
@@majamuller8790 why were/are they even illegal?? It's just chocolate and a toy, right?
I was on injections for about a year and I had to switch to gel because the farmacies in Spain stopped selling the shots for some time. Best thing I’ve ever done for myself is sticking to the gel. It’s made a HUGE difference. All of the inconveniences you’ve described about shots are so real and I was experiencing them and though it wasn’t a big deal. Now that I’m on the gel I don’t get any ups and downs and my levels are perfect :) Also I was afraid I would see less of the effects of testosterone when going on gel but that’s a myth. I’ve been growing more and more facial hair and my voice just keeps getting deeper.
Super pleased to see you managed go get onto the gel, I know you've been trying for a while. I'm also in the UK and I know I couldn't use a 3-4 weekly injection (needle phobic and super sensitive to hormone level changes - literally everything you've described). I'm glad to see you make this video because hopefully it will help other trans people to know that if they feel this way on the shots there are still good options for them (it took me about 6 months of bleak hopelessness before I did).
I hope this change is smooth and successful for you Noah! As someone who struggles with mental health and ups and downs with the month, I know how sucky it is and I really hope it gets better for you. Stay awesome!
hey, noah. i live in the US and i take injections biweekly because i’m on a higher dose than normal bc my dysphoria is really bad. i’ll have been on t for four months this month. i also experience “low” weeks and my mental health seems to plummet until i can take my next shot too. i used to be REALLY tired all the time too, like you said, but for me, after three months or so, i guess my body kind of,,, got used to the low weeks, or maybe i’m just happier as the months go by because i’m getting further into my transition, i don’t really know?? but yeah. i can definitely understand why you would have to change the type of t you take. i have depression and anxiety too and those low weeks are just,,, not it. good luck mate x
just a warning that high dose can cause your voice not to change correctly. but ur doctor knows best.
Doses aren't based on dysphoria they're based on blood tests and getting you into the same level as everyone else.
Slava Gorbunov love your first name, hate how we share it, and I’m very much so a female 💀
Slava Gorbunov thanks 🤣 a tad bit better. I’m named after my grandma and her grandma (as it goes in bulgaria and I’m sure every Slavic country). Literally never met another female with my name 😩 Ive met stanislavas before, but never plain ol slava’s 🤧
in my experience, the first time you use gel the alcohol smell is really overwhelming, but I've personally not had any problems with it drying up weirdly or crusty or whatever. haven't been on shots but I feel like I would definitely prefer gel over shots since I'm not a very big fan of needles. hope the gel works for you!
I feel you. i was on sustanon for 4 years and my levels were all over the place. ended up suffering with severe cramps 24/7 for 6 months straight untill they fiiiinally did something. my body hated sustanon. i am on the gel now waiting to be put on nebido, so much happier and no more horrid side effects. wish you all the best and hope you find the right T for you
I found this video quite educational while also being entertaining and funny to watch, just like all of your other videos. Since I came out as trans ftm 2 year ago to my mom, I found out a few months ago that she frequently watches your channel, especially videos relating to trans experiences and such. (She also said you have an amazing singing voice). I believe this has helped my mom to become more understanding of me and of other transgender people. So, thank you for doing what you do and keep on being awesome! Wish you all the luck with starting T gel instead of injections and cant wait for the next video!
When Noah mentioned him getting hot flashes, it hit my soul because I relate so much.
Hi i suffer hot flashes due to surgical menopause caused by having my womb and ovaries removed, despite being on hrt, and found that sage tablets have helped a lot with them and the sweats that come along with them x
@@kayvon-h3905 Thank you for this. I've been trying to find something to help get rid of them or at least make the hot flashes not as intense. I started getting them mid October of last year and I've been on T for a little over two years. And since then, they has progressively gotten worse and more frequent. I appreciate the info.
Yeah, I'm not on T yet but I have genetic hormone problems (testosterone and estrogen kinda drop and rise randomly) so I have constant heat flashes and it sucks alot
I had the choice to do my injection once a week or once every 2 weeks. I chose once a week because I heard of the ups and downs because of the levels changing. I dont experience too many bad effects. I was exhausted for months when I first started, but now that I'm in the right range I feel pretty good. Maybe a bit tired the day before my shot, but that's it.
I hope the gel works out for you. It's too expensive where i live, so the injections will have to do for now
Congrats on 2 years on T!🎉🎉🎉
I'm crying a finneas song came on as an ad for this... my fav CZcamsr plus one of my favorite singers YeS pLeAsE
i havent been this early since before corona was a thing
gel is actually quite nicce it takes about 2 mins to dry it just feels a bit sticky for about 5 mins and then thatsit for the day
In an earlier video you said you really didn't have friends around you or at boarding school. Then you showed footage of yourself singing and playing and doing silly things. I thought: "It was their loss. He seemed like a fun and adorable kid."
I salute you for your courage and candor. You and those like you are going to make things easier for those who come after you, whether they elect to transition or not. All the best to you.
I didn't know you could have gel before this video. So thanks for this video, because now I think my chances for starting my transition is higher, just because I have a HUGE phobia of needles based off of some very bad experiences.
Your videos are the best! Thanks for making my life better
hey dude i use the gel at the moment, i put it on my thighs, wash my hands afterwars. also the smell goes away after 30 seconds. ive had no problems at all
I’ve heard basically the same thing from trans women who switched from hormone injections to something else. Inconsistent hormone levels apparently just suck in general.
As a person who suffers with anxiety you sharing your experience has been good for me because it has made me conscious that when I start T I need to go on gel because I could not deal with the effects of fluctuating hormone levels, I need stability. Thanks Noah!
I skipped an old video of you, and your changement is soo great! I hope you stay always cool, peace🥰
Congrats on your 2 years of being on T
ok but like at 11:14 why does it look like noah lost his arms lol
omg
Congrats noah 🥳‼️❤️
As an insulin dependent diabetic, I can fully understand how you feel about injecting, and scar tissue, and the pain it can bring.
You may find that the hotflashes and dizziness may be the T messing with your blood pressure. I was having low blood pressure and thought was panic attacks and doc checked and found my BP was low when I would stand while on the train for some odd reason.
i can’t read his channel name without “no offense” popping into my head every time.
I've heard you briefly mention a bit about how bad these T shots make you feel before, and so I'm glad youre changing. You really need it. Honestly im shocked that you didn't switch methods ages ago if its been doing this to you the whole time
i would have done it sooner but i’m now only going to a public clinic and my appointment was only a few weeks ago
"it sounds pathetic, it's just a hormone" As a gay Cis woman, I take hormones daily to help balance myself out (IK its not T and it may be different) but many people take hormones daily, AND WE GET IT ❤️ It can be quite a journey to pick which birth control works best with your body, and I'm sure its a similar situation with anyone who is trans and on hormones. For anyone struggling with this, it sucks, we understand the struggle and know that it might feel like its taking forever, but you will eventually find what is right for you ❤️
And omg I relate so much to body anxiety for no reason
hey when u start gel could u make a video about it - like how, where and when you apply it, how the changeover affected you and how it affected you overall?
Good luck Noah.Love u from Brazil.
Yeaaa welcome to the gel-clup👌 I am on T-Gel since 2 and a half years.
i’ve never clicked a video so fast
There’s always one....
I really liked this video and I would like to hear more about gel and your experience with it
I'm on Testogel, it's the best option for me because of the consistency. After a while it's just part of the normal morning routine, I never missed a day.
congrats on your 2 years on T💕
I'm on the path to getting T privately, and I don't know how much choice I'll get in the type of T that I'll be on, but I hope it's gel. I know the effects are supposed to be slower and more subtle over time with gel, but the reasons you described sound like what I've already researched in terms of the pros and cons of injections vs. gel. My mental health is also pretty bad and I don't think I would cope well with the peaks and troughs. I do have sensitive skin though so hopefully the gel doesn't mess with my skin too much
I got my gel yesterday. I chose gel because of my mental health and my only 2 options were gel or 12 weekly injections. I was put straight onto a full dose of 4 pumps a day and my doctor said I should expect the same changes as you would get on shots. It didn't realy smell much and I applied it with gloves because of sensory issues with my hands. I have realy sensitive skin, i will get a reaction to most creams or gels but nothing from the testogel.
I love how when I commented there are 246 likes and absolutely NO unlikes.

Having your testosterone levels change that much must be hell. Im on the same dose youve been for a while and my peak and trough levels are actually very similar (endocrinologist was even surprised). I don't know why that's the case but hearing about your experience has made me feel bit lucky with mine. Hope the gel works better for you man!
I am glad their are testosterone options. People have alot to go through. Good luck with gel 🤞🤞🤞
No one:
Noah: I’m gonna be gel
I really want to take T to deepen my voice but I don’t want to fully transition to male because I’m non binary so would I have to stop taking it if my voice deepens?
Im also using gel. Been 3 weeks. Im very happy. I dont get no mood swings and I feel like due to the stable levels and consistency changes happen much slower but also more naturally... dunno if I could describe this well. But I love it.
Obviously like you said the cons are you have to apply it every day, preferably the same time, and dont touch anyone till it dries... it also sticks to your clothes.. which for me takes like 1,5 hours till I can let my shirt sleeves down again or my shorts. It is recommended to change where its applied each day. This can be a pain as you probably cant always have the time to do it at the same time, let alone give it another 1,5 hours to dry, if you got a job or an appointment or literally just life happening. That's gonna be hard to keep up with. With this quarantine thing going on its nice, I dont have to worry about these things. But when life hits again its gonna be hard. Though I dont think its too bad if you cant make it in time for once and apply it a few hours later or earlier... or even if you miss a day.
The only cons I'd say.
Ya I hate when my hormone levels are wonky! It’s like “who am I and why can’t my body or mind cope with regular life anymore?” It’s weird and awful. I’m glad you’re getting an alternative!
I have the same issue with scar tissue on my stomach, I decided last week I’m going to be rotating from left side of stomach to right side and hopefully it’ll help 😔 then again it’s not too big of an issue for me I can handle some pain, but if it gets worse I might need to switch to something else 🤔
I’ve also heard that you can get a deodorant type of testosterone and a nasal kind
Whaaa?
myutube I’m not sure if the deodorant one is in use but Im pretty sure the nasal gel is look on uppercasechase and it will show him using it but it’s quite new so not everyone knows about it
Hope the new testosterone works for you & you feel better 🙌🏼🙏🏽🥰🥰
I am so glad there are options of Testosterone delivery methods. I really wasn't aware of how many. I wish there was a patch that you did monthly that consistently delivered the amount needed. Yes, hot flashes are the worst and I bet it was Mary from the gender clinic that reccomended gel. Her name sticks in my head and I sing to my self "Mary from the gender clinic". It's a catchy little tune. I think you should write a song about her!
idk who needs to hear this but ily 😌✌
Literally the cutest bean, it lowkey makes me sad how much you feel like you need to defend the choices you make to your own body. 🥺 I hope the gel works out for you better and levels out then hormones and emotions, I might not be trans but a girl can relate to hormones levels fucking with your mental health 😂 hope it works our better for you ❤️
Understand the scar tissue, and the pain. I hope that the new T helps you more. Much love from Tampa FL. 💞💞
Completely unrelated but I really vibe with all the albums in the background, impeccable taste in music dude! Especially TSSF, such an underrated band lol
Honestly I admire you for being able to inject yourself for two years. I see a needle and I’m on the floor lmao
i love that the auto generated subtitles say “tea levels”
Oh is that what that is?
makes sense, he's British
So cool you’re finding what suits you! If gel doesn’t work for u, i’d definitely recommend nebido , I’ve been on it for a year and a half. I inject idk how much but it’s the same amount for everybody, the only thing that varies is the time in between injections. So for me it’s every 14 weeks and i get one week with high levels of T right after i inject myself and one week of low levels of T at the end of the 14 weeks. I think that, at least for me, nebido is perfect cuz you don’t have to worry about it for a super long time and the T levels u get with it are pretty consistent.
Your talk of hormone fluctuations and mood swings is very relatable as a CIS woman!
yeah i don’t think it is at all haha i had mood swings during first puberty, it was no way near as bad as this
NoahFinnce fair enough. I’ve never experienced what you have so of course I wouldn’t be able to compare really. Having said that I think everyone’s reaction to hormone fluctuations varies so as with everything we’re all different. Thanks for your reply and thanks for all your content. I found you via Evan’s videos but I’ve learnt so much from yours. Thank you for sharing your experience so us old (36!😂) cis people can understand a little better.
Gel was much better for me than injections (Nebido) at keeping my level within within range. Injections made my levels like 56 😭
Hope it all works out for you and gets better now on gel 😁😁
Does it change anything when you switch? I'm thinking of switching to gel also.
@@GQkid13 I was on gel first and then nebido, but it's hard to say if any change has happened because I switched or if it would have happened anyway at that point on T (facial hair, for example). I can't think of anyhting completely new that happened on injections that didn't happen at all on gel :)
@@EvTheVeg but nothing gets like reversed?
@@GQkid13 no, your testosterone changes are based on your levels, not the method of getting your levels that way. The only way stuff would reverse is if some some reason your T levels are too low

"I know how scar tissueY you are"
Sounds like withdrawals
Based on other videos of yours and your symptoms during shark week, I’d recommend looking into PMDD. A lot of the symptoms you talked about in previous videos, including this one sound like it.
I've been on T for just over two years now & am in the same boat. I'm gonna be switching as well because of pain & anxiety. My muscles also have been very tense for the last bit so trying to inject myself is so painful & not great. It's been so bad that I haven't been able to do my shot in a month, it sucks.Which has caused weight to gain in places I don't want, which causes dysphoria, which is great. Im also wanting to switch to gel. I'm in Canada and the testosterone I'm on is, testosterone cypionate. it smells super sweet, which I'm gonna miss but I'd rather just not cuddle my boyf for 4 hours then go weeks unable to do my shot so yeah, I feel you dude. Anxiety sucks & having tense muscles & having to also go through scar tissue isn't fun. Best of luck!!
But like women live through a cycle of basically the same thing😂. Like our hormone levels r constantly fluctuating and the week we have our period we feel so shitty🤷🏻♀️
i used to pass out and vomit from my period but the mood changes that i get from testosterone are MUCH worse
There exists an injection that can stop this problem. It will "deactivate" you reproduction organ and period disappears with time. You get injection once per 3 months. And you can finally live a normal life.
Why would you say that to a trans man. He's obviously experienced it.
Noah , do you like shrek ? Now this is a serious question
I’m on gel (tostran pump) and it does dry strangely. I wouldn’t say crusty, just a bit dry and flaky. I’m on gel instead of injections because mood swings are part and parcel of my mental health situation and we definitely don’t need any encouraging for those to happen. Stability is nice.
It’s a lot better using the pump than the gel sachets used to be - they were very watery and there was lots of it, whereas one pump of the canister gives a nice concentrated dose of gel rather than this watery mess. So four pumps (which is my dosage) makes for a nice experience. Good luck with the change over Noah and look after yourself! Stay safe and well 💖
For the last year I experienced the hot flushes, itches, tiredness you mentioned, although for a different reason.
I just wanted to wish you the best of luck in this changing and I hope that it’s able to give you a more consistent hormone level, hopefully eradicating your suffering.
~ a suggestion to wrap the gelled sure with cling film (if possible) to it rubbing off else where and maybe helping with some of the crusty
