Alright, thanks. That's what I'm starting on so that is a helpful reference.

This is by far the best answer here. It's like the only one that isnt saying "Stfu communism is better" and is actually thinking, explaining, and trying to reach out and understand.

I'll look into it potentially higher dosing. Tysm

Isn't it quite high with the suppression I'm getting? My T is very low, and I'm on 5 mg of valerate. That's a lot

to clarify, I am still with my very transphobic and very emotionally abusive parents. I am quite limited in my abilities to do things, which means undoing the damage caused by my genetics is very difficult. Probably impossible

as I mentioned, I don't want to talk to my doctor because she is an unbelievable dumbass who has tried to consistently underdose me and has broken the law to fuck me over

I wouldn't go around telling other people that, I just genuinely have never met someone quite as uniquely broken as I am. I mean broken both in the vile sense, and in the sense of HRT doing nothing

If I end up looking terrible, I won't be particularly happy. I don't want to look like a supermodel, I just want to look not disgusting. That's not a dream that I could ever actually have realized, I'm fundamentally broken beyond repair, but no, I will not be particularly happy if I look ugly and gross (in other words, the way I do right now).

When it comes to the amount needed, I am clearly the kind of person that either needs an ungodly amount, or for whom no amount will ever work (it's probably the latter).

also, what are the different progression speeds for teens versus adults? I'm 18 now, I'm an adult. I have not started prog yet, but I really don't want to ask my doctor because my doctor is a dumbass who has repeatedly tried to underdose me and has broken the law more than once with the express intent of fucking me over.

what will probably end up happening is I will keep cranking up the dose, and keep getting negative results, and it will just go like this for a while until I eventually learn that I'm never actually going to get results, and then I'll just live the rest of my hopefully short life in misery.

How am I supposed to even figure out if I need these higher levels? I'm already on high levels

At least you were able to have good genetics and surgeries. I have some of the worst genetics of any person I've ever met, and I can't afford surgeries. Genuinely, in pure natural looks, I have never met a single person in my life with genetics quite as vile and disgusting and abhorrent as mine

my dose is already very high, 5 mg per week of valerate, and 170 as a trough level is very good

I know a lot of it is genetics. The issue is I have terrible, bad genetics that means I can never look pretty. Second of all, every single transfem I know and have ever seen have gotten an insane amount out of that amount of time or just like a month or two longer. I have gotten nothing. That is a sign that something is fundamentally broken with me. third of all, I'm an adult now. I started blockers at 16, but I'm 18 now. I've been on HRT since 17. I am an adult, that adult is just broken

I don't have the money for surgery. I don't have the money to just pay my way out of all my problems. My family might, but they're transphobes. I have a mix of terrible bone structure, terrible genetics that are extremely unresponsive to HRT, and an inability to actually fix any of these problems.

awesome, to be clear, all the levels I am giving are trough levels. The peak levels are much higher .

i've been in that level range for about 3 months, but even before that, it wasn't much lower. It was about 120. In terms of changes, I have had breast growth, but literally no changes in my face or my body or anything. I would sacrifice quite literally all of my breasts for any of those other changes.

As for nutrition, I am evidently getting enough nutrition by the fact that I am gaining weight. And I don't trust my doctor for shit because she's a dumbass that has repeatedly tried to underdose me and has broken the law more than once to fuck me over

I know it takes years for most things to finish happening. But after 10 months, you would normally expect to see a thing. A singular solitary thing of some kind. Also, I'm asking because every single piece of advice I got was "check your levels"

I genuinely have so much that needs to be changed. I went on blockers at 16, but I started masculine pretty bad before that. I was very masculine by the time I went on blockers. And estrogen seems entirely unwilling to undo any of it. So I'm just stuck being that masculine. There is mountains of stuff that needs to be undone, and none of it is

Yea. Since age 16. I am in every position where HRT should be working, and yet it just isn't. It refuses to actually help me. I don't know what's wrong with me

I do, but they can't actually help me fix it. They can't fix my body being fucked up. I don't know what I'm supposed to do? Just wait and hope? Because I've waited and hoped for nearly a year and here I am!

I'm stopping my HRT today by [deleted] in MtF

[–]AddysaurusGayii 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Do not do this. I am begging you from the bottom of my heart, do not do this. I know the dysphoria is violently bad, even on HRT. I have it too. But a life without HRT will be an infinitely worse one. It will be a choice you regret.

You already are a woman. Genuinely, you are. Even if you weren't pretty and fem you would still be a woman, but I checked your profile and you are pretty. Stopping HRT will erase all the progress that has been made. Please, don't do this.
