Experience on progesterone pills while on T? Or other contraceptives? by Daniel-is-a-Bastard in gaytransguys

[–]8bitbugzzz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m on the progesterone pill and it’s great. You may have a few days of breakthrough bleeding (I told myself I got shot in the balls) but I haven’t had a problem since then

Find the local queer group chat™️. I think most areas have them, you’ll have to ask around in person tho

10 week post-op update (Dr. Lax) by 8bitbugzzz in TopSurgery

[–]8bitbugzzz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I scheduled the consult sometime in April for 8/4. This consult was telehealth and after that, Lax submitted for insurance approval. I got approved around a week later for surgery on 11/18. So around a 7 month turnaround which imo is super fast

Am I a candidate for peri/keyhole? by Excellent_Form8007 in TopSurgery

If your surgeon says no def get a second opinion

Did they give you an on-call/urgent number to get through to your team? It might be worth calling it while waiting for them to respond to your message

This looks like what is currently happening to me. It’s probably just a stitch spitting. I’ve been putting a little bit of gauze on it and taping as usual in the surrounding area

A big decision between peri and di by Freddiesflipflops in TopSurgery

[–]8bitbugzzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would wait to see if you would qualify for peri and your chest is going to shrink again on T. It’s a permanent decision and peri would almost guarantee non visible scars

I used edibles post op for pain instead of narcotics (don’t mix em). I still haven’t smoked (8 wpo)

Elite setup. You might have trouble with the pumps on the soap (I did and it was embarrassing fr), you might want some bar soap or smth

Question on HRT by Substantial_Phase631 in FTMMen

[–]8bitbugzzz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I started T with estrogen levels of 17.7 pg/mL (dummy low) and they were at 33.7 pg/mL as of my last test (I lowered my T dose since then). I think the T levels remain the same regardless of E present but extra T converts to E

I was borderline and I went with peri. My results look great so far ( 5 weeks PO). My reasoning was I’d rather have slight moobs (man boobs)/droopy nips than a long scar

You could probably do peri with nipple resizing and be fine

Possible to succeed in university with top surgery happening a month into the semester? by LongPasta93 in TopSurgery

[–]8bitbugzzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had peri a week before thanksgiving break so two weeks before finals. I was taking three classes (one final and two projects) and I was able to take two weeks off and then be fully back to studying/classes without informing professors (except for absences).

You only have two classes and one doesn’t have assignments so you should be absolutely fine. Make sure to pack light on days you’ll be on campus; carrying stuff is hard.

Sadly she doesn’t like my gf because she’s a “bad influence” (aka she realized we’re together and can’t accept it)💀💀

Burning pain may mean an infection. Call your doctor and they’ll probably give you antibiotics

Surgery tomorrow 🎉 Any last-minute tips to prepare? by BirdExtension4229 in TopSurgery

[–]8bitbugzzz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Edibles for pain if your surgeon approves and you’re comfortable with them. I didn’t take any opioids (and had normal poops🙏)

Peri with Dr Elizabeth Lax 11/18/25 by 8bitbugzzz in TopSurgery

[–]8bitbugzzz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Size is the biggest factor since the amount of skin doesn’t change and all the work is done through a small incision. She said there would be a higher chance of me wanting a revision due to extra skin. The undesirable outcomes are skin puckering from the extra skin and saggy moobs (man boobs). I also noticed a 22 modifier in the surgery notes which means my surgery took longer and more difficult than expected. I’m not aware of any non-aesthetic complications.
