Why Take Low Dose?
Hormones are gradual. This can be very frustrating for people who can’t wait for the changes. But some of us approach the idea of hormones with a bit more trepidation, and would rather take things slow.
Some people simply want to take extra precautions with their body. Others may be struggling to figure out what their identity means to them while undertaking a physical transition, thus trying to reconcile the two. Moreover, it’s common to hear of people who want certain effects of hormones but not others, and want to find the right balance. Whether it’s because we’re not sure hormones are right for us, or because we’re not sure what we want out of hormones, or we just want to be extra careful, taking a low dose is a way of testing the waters, toe by toe.

Testo Memo allows transmen (transgender, transsexuals, FtX, etc.) to no longer forget the day of their testosterone injection!
You just need to enter the latest day on which you did your shot and the interval (in days) between two shots. You will receive a notification a few days before your next shot. Once this is done, the date of your next shot will be computed for you!
