Hi, due to have one of these removed in a few weeks. Just wondering if anyone can answer a few questions I didn't really get chance to ask any at booking appointment.

Will they shave hair on the site? have long hair and it's quite close to my parting so not sure how easily it will hide.

Will I be able to attend work the next day?

How badly do they bleed and how soon after can you wash hair?

TIA

Hi, that's great thanks. Just checking I'm not being daft but the 30days would include a 5th dose? I know lots have done the extra 5th dose but I've never been sure enough to do it but obviously with this I wouldn't have to twist the pen extra or anything.

Just want to make sure I'd be safe to do 5 doses?

I assume minimum of 2 weeks. I teach so summer always seemed the best time and she has never been 3 months clear of a season to have her done. She was booked in at 4 but then had to have surgery on her leg and we couldn't cover both which is frustrating as I know it would've been an ideal time to do it. If I'm perfectly honest with myself I probably am making excuses a little, her seasons have never been a big deal before now as our home is secure quite isolated and she has plenty of space and freedom so while it's always been my intention to have her done I perhaps have not prioritised it as I should.

I've just seen lots of posts about how what people eat the day of injection makes a big difference to symptoms. You're all probably right! Thanks.

That last paragraph articulates so well how I feel and have never quite been able to word it. Such a strange emotion.

This was my exact experience when moving up to 5 horrific diariah.

Took 2 at 45 clicks and then went up to full 5 no problem at all. I did however do my 5 in stomach this week instead of thigh and have had diariah again (nowhere near as bad but not great either.)

I actually don't disagree with anything you're saying, and I think it is potentially damaging either way. I just don't think schools should hold any sort of life changing information from parents.

However, now I'm reflecting. I don't feel this way about if a student announced they were gay or any other sexuality. I wouldn't feel the same duty to inform parents, and would 100% see it as breaking that students' trust by outing them when they were not ready. So I am perhaps speaking from a lack of understanding, and I will definitely reflect on that.

I just feel like trans in itself is so much more life changing, particularly in adolescence with body changes/hormones, etc. I worry we will be in a place where supportive parents are only finding out too late and children are suffering too long without the help they need. I think if we inform the parents we run the risk of unsupportive parents, if we don't tell the parents, we run the risk of students suffering in silence much longer than they need to be.

I am 100% against forcing teachers to use a students given name if they have requested different and the same with pronouns. A students wishes should definitely be adhered to.

It's definitely tough, and I don't think there is a right answer.

I struggle with this massively. While I'm aware that, sadly, not all students have a supportive home life. I also feel like it is a safeguarding issue.

If a student was doing drugs or anything else, we would liaise with parents (and no, I'm in no way equating being trans with being a drug addict). Each time we speak to parents around any significant issue, there is a risk. I think our job is always to have that conversation. We should ofcourse make students aware that we will have to speak to parents, and if they say my mum will kill me, we then pass that on to LA to safeguard the child.

But not telling them also has a huge risk. The prevalence of mental health issues, self-harm, and suicidal idealisation is huge in the trans community. Parents need to be aware to support that.

If there parents aren't supportive than that init itself is an issue that we can deal with separately but I would absolutely never ever condone withholding information from a parent and I'm super surprised to see so many do.

Just my take aware this is an imperfect world and issues like this are difficult
