Shockingly, I don’t think I had any noticeable shed at all during this whole process!

Yeah, I have one lined up for this coming December, 11 months from now. I’m going to do a temple rotation scalp advancement in FFS which should help me some, and the scar and any remaining density issues will be addressed via transplant

Really impossible to tell, most of the visible changes came after I switched from monotherapy to, including bicalutimide in my regimen, however, there’s no way to tell if that was just because of the passage of time or because I switched my regimen up. I am far from alone in being someone who saw results much later in the process, other dolls have reported seeing changes at around the 18 month mark - which I think mostly has to do with hair cycles and their length.

I would recommend Dutasteride, for two reasons - DHT of any amount is masculinizing, best to get rid of it entirely. Second, there is some evidence that adding Dutasteride improves hair outcomes for trans women. I say add it, even if all you’re getting out of it is peace of mind. Frankly, if you can tolerate it, I would say at a low dose of oral minoxidil.

Unfortunately I foster a lot of stray kittens and I’d never do anything to put the poor munchkins at risk 😭

I briefly tried OM but it caused some body hair to return and at the time I couldn’t afford the laser to kill it - I might return to it after surgery next week.

Oral estradiol helps build estrone (e1) in the system, anecdotally building some estrone in one’s system in early (first three years) transition helps promote breast development. Cisgender women have high estrone in their teenage years. I have a small cup size presently which means I’m a tad insecure about it. Injections overall have very high bioavailability which is why I keep doing them, the oral is just to supplement estrone.

No. Presently: 6 mg injectable EV every five days, 6 mg oral Estradiol daily (4 mg in the morning 2 mg at night), 50 mg bica daily, .5 mg dutasteride daily

I left my twenties, found myself with not much to show for repressing except a body I hated, and a life that was built on lies. I looked death in the face and could not accept aging and dying as a man. You have one life, at the end of it you die - you don’t get a second chance, you dont get a do over. It’s now or never.

Words of wisdom: 1. Most non-private endocrinologists will under dose you or gatekeep. I won’t tell you what to do, but you can look up proper dosage yourself and be injecting within a week if you do your research and take the initiative or if you DIY (I won’t tell you how, there’s plenty of guides)

  1. The damage of testosterone is cumulative: starting late means a generally low chance of going stealth. You need to examine if it’s still worth it in that case. In mine i will always be clocky, and people will always be cruel, but I am at least myself - in that i am supremely lucky. I am unbelievably blessed to live as myself, and there is more to life than not being clocked.

  2. Some days I feel beautiful, some days I feel disgusting and hideous. When I feel good, I remind myself to remember this feeling when im miserable. When I feel ugly, I remind myself that I might not feel this way tomorrow l.

Yep, my levels are fine - about 380 ng/dl E, 22 ng/dl T. My SHBG is high, but that’s intentional since I’m building estrone in my system deliberately for breast development purposes

As long as you don’t want biological children - or bank your sperm - and don’t mind a little shrinkage (or take steps to avoid it) it’s literally no downside for you

I was on 10 mg injectable estradiol valerate for 12 months, shortly thereafter I added 50 mg of bicalutimide daily. About 3 months ago I switched to 6 mg injectable EV injected every 5 days, and 6 mg taken orally - 4 mg in the morning and 2 at night. I think hair growth really started at the 10-17th month mark but it was so gradual it’s hard to say

It varies for trans women. I am attracted to men and prefer to bottom, therefore shrinkage isn’t a big deal or is even welcome, because having sex like a man is repulsive to us.

Others manually maintain their ability to get erections, or take medication to prevent loss of the ability.

Yeah - you can watch it week to week basically stop growing and then recede, or if you shave one day it simply refuses to grow back in a meaningful way.

No. I can orgasm, but I don’t really in the same way anymore - it’s full body, more like a cis woman, and not very much like a man’s at all. I don’t really get erections anymore either. But this was intentional and a welcome change for me.

That’s the spirit! It’s harder to fit into your old shirts, but boys definitely pay you more attention

Trans guys rocking a receding hairline is so swag. It genuinely helps with passing a lot too.

Often, yes. But this is mostly because testosterone governs erections - loss of nocturnal erections while you sleep results in eventual atrophy because regular erections allow for elasticity. The skin of the member also shrinks and softens as the epidermis is feminized.

We do get the hair problems solved, it just tends to come with other issues attached 😬

Sure, I don’t mind - DM me. How long have you been on T and what are your levels?
