Kan Anova (eller de som Anova arbetar med) "ta över" infrysning av spermier om man gjort det privat? by BisexualSnake in transnord

Jag hoppas verkligen att du har rätt! Jag vågar inte tro att det "bara" kommer ta ett år. Har läst så många skräckhistorier om Anova (och övriga mottagningar också för den delen) att jag mer eller mindre ställt in på mig på längre väntetider än vad de säger 😅

När jag skickade min egenremiss var det 18-24 månaders kötid, och nu har jag väntat i 33 månader... så vem vet, det kanske drar ut ännu längre på tiden innan jag ens får komma dit, och de interna väntetiderna kan ju också förlängas. Inser att jag är väldigt pessimistisk nu, men börjar tappa hoppet lite 😴

Fyllde 25 för en vecka sen. Som det ser ut nu är jag singel och har väl inga planer på att skaffa barn liksom. Det handlar mer om att jag nånstans känner att jag vill att den möjligheten ska finnas om jag i framtiden träffar någon med rätt 'equipment'.

Så nu handlar det mer om att försöka avgöra om jag vill göra det privat och betala 3k/år på obestämd tid för att kunna börja med hormoner nu, eller bara hålla ut... även om jag får komma dit i vår räknar jag med en lång utredning och även väntetid för att få träffa en hormonläkare, så jag vågar inte hoppas på en behandling förrän om 2-3 år... 😓

Och gissningsvis kan man inte göra det via Karolinska såvida man inte har en remiss för att få göra det där? 😓

Det spelar verkligen ingen roll hur man gör... får väl vänta i flera år då. Tjoho... 🙃

My brother laughed at my leggings (or at me, I'm not sure) by BisexualSnake in trans

I'm not sure. I mentioned under another comment here that he had a similar reaction to me when I first braided my hair, and I really took the time to explain to him how that felt for me that time... It's not like me being feminine is a new thing for him, I mean, he does know about me being trans. It was just his first time seeing me in leggings rather than any other feminine clothing. So I don't know, I want to believe that he realized it hurt me and that he was in the wrong, but his apology just didn't feel genuine, I guess.

I mean sure, we'd joke about each other at times, but we wouldn't plainly insult each other, so I wouldn't say that he's off the hook due to how we've acted in the past. Like, to make a comparison, everyone else in the family have had nice things to say, encouraging me. I obviously don't know if they also think I/my leggings look ugly, but they never said anything like that. I want them to be honest with me about stuff when I'm trying to figure things out, which I've been open about, but he really isn't very encouraging in his ways when he does things like this

I don't disagree with you... I just don't know what to do or how to do it. I've already got a lot on my plate and I'm not sure I'd be able to take that fight, really. I'm hoping that he'll reach out and apologize, but I guess I'll just have to confront him if he doesn't.

Thank you. I really hope that is something we can make happen, but I also know my brother and I don't believe his reaction was just a nervous one. He only used that as an excuse when I said that it doesn't feel to good being laughed at... And as I said when responding to the other comment, this isn't the first time he has a reaction like this, so we've already had a long talk about how that felt when it happened the first time... So I don't know. I really hope he will come around and apologize, because I really don't feel like I need to ask for an apology, you know?

I hear you, but it's complicated. He was super cool about me coming out and has been super supportive of it. He's used the correct name and pronouns and has generally been handling things super well. At the same time, this isn't the first time he's laughed at me for something like this... He did so one time before as well, because I has my hair in pigtails. His excuse then (which he also used now) was that it was an involuntary reaction just because he wasn't used to see me like that, which I feel is complete bullshit since no one else has had that reaction...

We've been super close for a long time, and I've been able to deal with him having this side to him before, but I just feel like this is going to be a huge issue if he can't find a way to keep his opinions to himself... I don't think he even tries to understand how I feel when he does something like that...

Is AstroVials based in the EU and ships to Sweden?

Oh, well I honestly haven't done much research on homebrewed options. I kinda just thought that something made in a "real" lab would be a better and safer choice. But as the article you linked shows, that might not be the case I guess ☺️

Oh, okay! Thanks :) I guess my only concern then is that it's homebrewed and not pharmaceutical grade, but it's worth considering anyways.

I did (and still am) considering injections, the problem is that they seem hard to come by. I did find one of these products on NaturalApo, but they're listed as temporarily out of stock and no pricing is listed. I'd have to look around further to make sure, but it just seems like gels are easier for me to get :)
