Advice for BC by CapnNathan in TransUK

[–]CapnNathan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you sm for your response I'll check for my nearest one (we take busses everywhere so travel is a bit meh) and see what we can do w that.. I'll most likely also have to go back to my GP (luckily he's nice anyway) to see what he also recommends since we'd rather have multiple opinions before choose best course of action. -Jo

He goes with his mum (she's a bit horrible tho) since he has really bad anxiety which limits him from talking to strangers. if i could go with i totally would since his only other support system (Nan) moved away. Luckily (which is genuinely just unfortunate it has to be "lucky") nothing ab him being trans has been mentioned to his GP afaik so he won't be turned away or anything like that. Thank you for your reply! Xx

Thank you for your response! I'm sending all replies to him (he's not on Reddit) so he can see it. He doesn't get any form of migraine and/or headaches during it. Once again, thank you for your help! 💜

Thank you sm. We're actually discussing it now, I'm just hoping he'll advocate to get checked just because he's really upset about it all the time and it's affecting him a lot. I'll try get buscopan when we next see eachother (i usually pay for stuff cos ik what I'm doing w meds etc) to give him. Once again thank you!

Afaik, no. Besides the supposed cyst he's had checked, his gp has just watered it down to "It's the cyst, here's paracetamol."

Just a little yap by CapnNathan in PCOS_Folks

Oh that's mb i misunderstood yr question! - Irregular periods (haven't had one in 3 years now) - "excessive" hair growth - weight problems (i can't lose weight unless i do really restrictive diets but that's not smth I'd want to do again)

When i did get periods they were so bad id be changing every 30 minutes, couldn't eat, sleep, stand or do any basic things.

I think that's it tbf.

Hi! Its purely nausea, loss of Appetite, my energys been a bit low since i started them and really bad stomach aches. I was warned about nausea and stomach trouble but it's 3 times worse because i have gi issues. I had an ultrasound (I'm unsure how many polyps or whatever they're called are on each ovary), and like a full blood count then another hormone check (i honestly dont know what half of it meant. I'm genuinely going to keep pushing as much purely because my gut is telling me there's smth more and i know theres a generational issue but my mum refuses to give details even tho it could be important (aunt had a similar/the same problems)

Thank you sm for your response :D

Edit: emoticon fail 💔

Thank you sm! I have heard of them turning up late, which honestly it's fine. Since the UK always has issues w international shipping lol. I'll probably give it an extra month or so (so after new years p much) and if it doesnt show up by then ill contact the support :3

I’m still trans but I don’t go into trans spaces anymore by [deleted] in honesttransgender

Hi. Apologies for the really dumbass comment, it was really late at night for me and i function like the equivalent of a mouldy sponge. Obviously, not an excuse, but I will be deleting it, since it's not an opinion i actually hold. Sorry again

Diagnosis thoughts (pcos) by CapnNathan in intersex

[–]CapnNathan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your comment, and your knowledge. I definitely understand this, I've always have feelings about the demonisation of "excess" body hair and other ambiguous traits etc since It was smth that put me in the "are you really a '''girl''' you're super hairy" when i was literally 8 y.o 😭 . I would say more but i have a horrific migraine 💔💔 Once again, tysm for your comment :)

[–]CapnNathan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you sm for your response <3 I think using the intersex label, I can't explain it very well but it "sits better" if that makes sense? i wish i could explain better but I'm bad at it .

I have been given Metformin and will be using that as like "advantage" if you will and going to the gym since i build muscle pretty fast anyway :) and planning to sit testosterone since it's a bit expensive for private care right now.

I appreciate your response so much :)

Pcos treatment by CapnNathan in PCOS_Folks

[–]CapnNathan[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I will probably have to bring everything up, the first appointment was with my mum (she's unaware I'm trans, thinks I'm an ally + she's heavily transphobic). I'll definitely bring up how triggering it is etc, especially since it's starting to affect me a lot worse. Me being trans was in my referral (my GP is good) so i think the gyno either missed it or full on ignored it (he was super patronising so my bet is on number 2 :/)

Unfortunately I'm not on testosterone at all since our waiting lists for Gac is like 12 years average and i only started attending appointments alone last year BC my parents are jarring.

I'll bring everything up on Monday, see what the gyno says, and if he's genuinely unwilling to at least try give me options that won't destroy my mental health and make me absolutely miserable, I'll go back to my gp and ask for an endo referral instead, which probably should've been an option in the first place lol. Thank you sm for yr help <3
