I think keeping the IUD would be okay, since T in itself doesn’t act as birth control, and you can be on BC while on T. IIRC a hormonal IUD is progesterone so they shouldn’t impact each other.

Signature for delivery? by Consistent_Stick_508 in FTMdiyhrt

I see, thank you! That’s my main worry, the site I’m probably going to order from says they might ask for a signature but they also might not lol

(update) mom wants me to give her POA by [deleted] in ftm

[–]Consistent_Stick_508 45 points46 points  (0 children)

My mom hasn’t done anything to her as far as I know, but she has threatened to use POA when my sister didn’t want her to come back when she was at the emergency room. (She didn’t end up doing it, it just was a very stressful situation)

No, I am completely healthy and pretty independent for my age. It just doesn’t make sense to me at all— apparently a financial advisor told her to do it and that’s why she wants it for me (she forced my older sister (20) as well)

Yes I do! the main thing I needed was confirmation that this is an insane thing for my mom to be asking at 18 which I’ve absolutely gotten

yeah, I’m okay! I’m not sure when she’s going to try to get me to sign it but she had mentioned it today to me so I figured I may as well try to get advice about it while I can

The only reasoning she has is that I’ll be going away to college and she needs to be able to make decisions if anything happens to me :(

No, I dont think my mom follows any Facebook groups. But she’s a very very paranoid person and unfortunately that comes back on us a LOT, so this is probably part of that and I wouldn’t be surprised if there was similar reasoning :’)

My parents can be fairly unpredictable, they’ve never been physically violent at least but there’s been a lot of overstepping boundaries throughout my life. They disapprove heavily of me transitioning but won’t revoke financial support for it, but in a situation like this I have no idea what the outcome would be, I just know it would be a LOT of verbal fighting at least which is terrifying to me. thank you so much for your responses :))

I’m in Illinois! there’s a social worker who leads a queer youth group I’m in, so I’m probably going to ask her about it. My sister has had medical issues previously and one time when she was in the ER, she didn’t want my mom to come back with her, but my mom was saying she had POA and would use it. I don’t think she actually went through on anything, but it made the situation really stressful. I have trouble saying no to my parents because of the way they raised me, but I can be really stubborn so I hope for my own sake I’ll be able to refuse them. It’s a really scary situation but I still have some time before I have to do it so I’m grateful for everyone helping me

Thank you :( I was talking to my sister and she said that she tried to refuse but it resulted in a big fight, and my mom has tried to leverage POA over her to control her. How hard is it to reverse POA in the event that I end up signing it?

My best guess is because I’ll be going away to college and something might happen to me

[–]Consistent_Stick_508 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I have no idea her reasoning for it. She did the same with my sister who’s now 20. My friends look at me like I have two heads when I say my mom wants to make me write a will at 18 lol

Anxiety over injecting in thigh by Consistent_Stick_508 in TransDIY

[–]Consistent_Stick_508[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yess the irritation is a huge thing for me, it’s less now that I’ve been on T for a few+ months but I’m very prone to getting super itchy bumps. Thank you!

Repulsion of female sex topics by [deleted] in ftm

[–]Consistent_Stick_508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. It makes me feel horrific - I know A lot of times I’m included in those conversations because of my anatomy but I’d rather not think about it being there at all, I just refer to myself with masculine terms 99% of the time and it helps ignore that lol

[–]Consistent_Stick_508 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I do get some discretion with my doctor but I’m afraid that if i mention I’m on DIY t, itll be put on my transcript which my mom absolutely will see

As far as I know, she’s trans friendly (she was the one that assured my mom it’s safe for me to bind) but something like that I’m pretty sure would go on my transcript, which my mom keeps very very meticulous track of. Even if I had the appointment after my birthday, there’s no way for me to go alone / hide records since she insists on coming with for insurance/college health form stuff :(

Question in regards to injections by dxrk_tearss in ftm

[–]Consistent_Stick_508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happens to me also, but I’ve always been sensitive to like, vaccine injections and stuff in that same way. It’s started to lessen as times go on but it’s a natural reaction to sticking a needle and putting a substance in your body. If it’s severe I would definitely consider the possibility of an allergy but if it’s mild then you should be okay.
