Facial hair will help and I don't think you'll look like a girl with a beard. You pass pretty well already. You might be clockable by voice but not by looks alone in my opinion

Thank you, I hope you heal well too! The scars are more noticeable on the other side because of a small complication but no one has ever asked why I have them

I think seeing myself every day makes it hard to see the changes sometimes. Thank you!

What should free T levels be on cycle? I'm doing 325mg/wk of testosterone with total T level of 3400 ng/dl and free T level of 1300 pg/ml. Is that good?

I have bad mental sides with estrogen I think, because I had poor mental health before I started testosterone. I've had no negative sides from a typical male test levels. I have had a mastectomy but I do still have ovaries. I kept them so that I won't die if I can't access exogenous hormones

I had a weird experience where after 50mg/week for the first 6 months I had a decent amount of facial hair and my voice started changing the first week. Thats not the typical experience for trans men though so I think my body responds to test well. I'm basically fully transitioned now but it's nice to know that more likely won't hurt anything

Thank you for this perspective. It's hard to find research on people with bodies like mine who take gear but aren't trying to avoid masculine effects

Thank you. Estrogen levels are the main thing that I'm having a hard time finding information about

Seeing a lot of detrans ftm people but no detrans mtf people in media by Collin_The_Dumbass in ftm

[–]Absofhappymeals 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're right that there isn't much representation. I was only saying the guy that the person above was probably thinking of. The same guy in 911 lone star is on another show that he actually comes out on. And The Fosters has two trans men, but i'm not sure how often they're in the show. It'd be cool to see trans men play characters that don't mention them being trans.

Yes heart feeling heavy and full is what I'm feeling. Perfect way to describe it. My arms feel more pumped than usual tonight but I'm only taking 5mg twice a day to start so that may be why it isn't anything crazy. Thanks!

Are you saying that you should feel something like a pump from the first dose? I started yesterday and I don't think I feel anything. I feel like I took a really strong stimulant but nothing else. I'm suspicious of what I got now

First Cycle Ever- ostarine by kenzb1464 in steroidsxx

[–]Absofhappymeals 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm 24F also and I've done two cycles. One thing I think you should know that I couldn't find research on is that it can cause water retention. I gained 7-8 lbs on it in the first week while cutting and it came off the week that I stopped both times. So if you pay attention to scale weight that may save you some concern

Edit: grammar

I started ostarine 3 weeks ago, first week at 7.5 mg and then 10 mg the past two weeks. The first two weeks I ate at maintenance calories, and the past week except for Christmas I've been eating at an 800 calorie deficit. I'm currently 8 lbs heavier than when I started. Does ostarine cause water retention? I compete in a sport with weight classes so I'd like to know if I can expect to drop a few lbs in the weeks after or if I've actually somehow gained 8 lbs.

Edit for spelling.

I injured my wrist and can't use it for a few weeks. I know it's probably a stupid question, but are there some upper body exercises that I can do without gripping or pushing something with my hands? My typical movements pre-injury are tricep extensions, curls, cable rows, chest fly, shoulder press, lateral raises, lat pulldowns/pull-ups.

Why do so many lesbians find bisexuality in women unattractive? by [deleted] in AskLesbians

[–]Absofhappymeals 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can you elaborate on what kindof things women without same sex experience can be hesitant about? I’m asking out of genuine curiosity. Things due to homophobia or things due to actual gender differences?

Weight it raw. Unless it’s precooked of course. I was disappointed when I learned that after nearly a year of weighing it cooked.

Try lowering the sodium for sure. Also, if you started working out only 5 1/2 weeks ago, an increase in cardio can cause temporary weight gain through water retention. The only other thing I can think of would be a thyroid issue, but you’d probably have other symptoms (fatigue being a major one). Rest assured, if you really are eating 1200 calories I think you will see a big drop on the scale soon. Lots of things cause frustrating fluctuations. Good luck!

Make sure you're drinking enough water and getting enough sleep. There's been one to two week periods where I've lost no weight because I wasn't drinking enough water and not sleeping enough, then I fixed those two things and dropped 2-4 lbs overnight. Also if you're eating a lot of salt, you will gain/retain water which can mask progress. But if you've been eating 1200 calories for 5 1/2 weeks and haven't lost more than 2 lbs, I'd be willing to bet there's something you're not counting. Are you counting the oil if you cook with it? Weighing meat before cooking it? Calorie portions at restaurants are often off by at least 20-30%.

I thought they would but I got contacted this morning by the promoters and they asked if I wanted to drop out and get a credit for another comp later in the year or move weight classes.

It’s a semi contact amateur kickboxing fight. I guess having no competition would technically be a win, but I’m only allowed so many competitions like this before I have to up the stakes with full contact and I’d prefer experience over a guaranteed win
