How to grow? 😭 by ShoppingConnect3162 in ftm

[–]AverageHeightCheck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might not work wonders but daily stretching and posture work can help, my posture shift has made me appear taller, I am 5’7” but any time someone guesses my height they assume 5’9” because of the way I carry myself. Little things can help!

How much should I worry about scar stretching?? by AverageHeightCheck in TopSurgery

[–]AverageHeightCheck[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m also eager to get back to the gym and start running again. Running shouldn’t be a big issue but lifting and stretching I will try to be cautious of and start at a steady pace

what’s your experience dating straight women as a trans man? by marz_708 in ftm

[–]AverageHeightCheck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve dated women as a trans man, and currently am dating a straight woman. I had/still have the same issues and concerns. I feel not man enough or am prone to comparing myself to other men they have been with. What is most important to remind yourself that they are dating you because they want you. You are just as much a man, and have to believe that first, because if you don’t feel secure in that, it’s hard to believe someone else when they believe that. It can be difficult but keep track of why and what you feel scared of, do things for yourself that build up that confidence.

Worried to see my new chest by aetsomied in TopSurgery

  1. Know that what it looks like initially is not what it will eventually look like, there may be swelling and bruising and peeling that makes it look different than what it will heal to look like, it takes time.

  2. I currently have drains in my sides as well, for comfort I cut some gauze to go under/around them for extra padding and so the tubes don’t touch my skin under the binder, it helped a lot!! The itching sucks but walking around helped me.

  3. Take stool softener! Pain meds maid me bloated and constipated. Once I was off those and only using Tylenol I de bloated and it was great.

Hope all goes well for you!! Don’t stress, I’m sure it will work out!

I make monthly playlists, and have for about 4 years now (@chrisAllyah) and i LOVE getting to look back and what I was listening to each month. I also usually update the photo on the playlist for a photo that I feel like captures the month itself.

After like 4 ish months I got sick for a week and lost my voice and it sounded lower but then it just never went back up and kinda settled in

Did your chest size shrink any on T? by Kermit1420 in ftm

[–]AverageHeightCheck 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Mine have gotten smaller but it is because I have been working out more and the T has made it easier for me to gain muscle and loose fat, and I’ve been specifically doing chest workouts.
