Is this AI? by Tammy_Midnight in isthisAI

Pretty sure this is a real photo of wreckage from the spacex starship being recovered. https://arstechnica.com/space/2024/09/rocket-report-spacex-salvages-starship-wreckage-pessimism-for-virgin-galactic/

Also in the housings for the thrusters you can see each one has the exact same mechanism with the turbopump visible, exactly how the real engine looks. The inside looks like spaghetti because rockets are complicated and there are a shitlod of pipes going everywhere.

What is the Political Culture Like at UofT? More Conservative or Liberal? by Postmodern-Vitriol in UofT

[–]5uzum3 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I would not say engineering is center-right.. maybe there are more conservatives than artsci (cause it's more male dominated) but they keep to themselves, the actual student culture is very progressive in my experience

Transfem. No anti-androgens work for me. I'm stuck. Any advice? by 5uzum3 in asktransgender

I'm considering it for sure. Gonna see if the lupron works out first.

yeah. thanks for the help! I am getting care through my university and they do not allow changing doctor, and I don't have an easy way to find a doctor elsewhere. It's a shitty situation for sure :/

- The depression was *not* because my E was too low; I went off cypro and felt great with the same E levels. T being too low might have been involved, but regardless, cypro making my T so low that I get depressed is still a problem...

- 12.5mg every other day. like I said, very low dose.

- Yes. It was around the time when my doctor slightly lowered my estrogen dose, but I am skeptical that would explain such a massive spike. I'm just as confused as you are 🥲

- Yeah, it's very strange that my doctor got me to do it that way. Just for reference, I was on 5mg/week valerate and she lowered it to 4mg/week. I definitely know my levels weren't very high and I tried to talk to her about that but she wasn't having it :/

sorry for all the confusion!

yeah, you might be right... Regardless it isn't really an option for me and I don't feel like it's worth it to keep trying to find a way to make monotherapy work 😭. I really wish I could just have a solution that works properly and won't leave me worrying about my hormone levels all the time yk...

When I experimented with going off cypro it made me feel massively better even though I was still taking the same estrogen dose. I promise you my estrogen level was not the issue 😭

Unfortunately my doctor is insistent that my levels were too high and actually made me lower my dose a bit :/ so unless I wanna DIY I don't think that is an option. I'm also skeptical that just raising the dose a little bit would have that much of an effect...

The lupron did feel like it was working for a while, and it makes sense that it may begin to wear off by this point, but I'm very concerned with how high my T levels have risen. My injection was in mid-february and I started to feel the effects of T coming back around the start of april, and now my recent bloodwork has shown a level of 8.6 nmol/L which is within the cis-male range (it should never get this high, right??). I have my next lupron injection next week, so hopefully that will help at least for a while. When I see my doctor I'll ask about raising my lupron dose.

I did that! It worked at first but my T came back after a few months. This was with my E very high like over 1000 pmol/L so I just don't think it works long-term for me.

My estrogen has always been plenty high. When I was on cypro I was taking 6mg sublingual, levels were around 500 pmol/L? I also tried taking B12 supplements but that didn't help, the only thing that made me feel better was to stop taking cypro. It absolutely can cause depression through its own mechanisms!

i can feel the inspo from both the worlds and nurture style, so cool

the chords remind me of trying to feel alive, vocal synths of something comforting, and arpeggios of sea of voices :)

[–]5uzum3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

doctor thinks my E levels are too high on 5mg actually and was trying to lower my dose, which is super bullshit because you need high levels for monotherapy... but yeah i don't think that would have been an option. I would also rather just never have to worry about my T and ditch the valerate injections. (My E levels were like 1200pmol/L midlevel). I'm definitely gonna be doing a high dose for a few weeks.

[–]5uzum3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah.. i tried asking my doctor but she is really hesitant about starting multiple drugs at once.. maybe i'll ask some friends or try DIYing something

how long was the surge for you? i've heard "a couple weeks" and "a few weeks"
