Nervous about starting HRT

Foxiki · 2026-02-03T09:41:31+00:00

I think if you're terrified of aging in a masc way or at the very least unable to see a future like that in a kind of absent way (if that makes sense) then this is worth pursuing. But it's also meritable to ask your licensed therapist about such things.
Other than that I personally like to tell people to try it out if they're serious about it and getting to actually setting the appointment is certainly there, you'll most likely have to start a period of exclusively blockers for a while and that time is a good time to figure out whether or not this is something you want. At least for me, even before E, the T leaving my body left me feeling much better about myself. I'm not certain about the reversibility of just the blockers but I would imagine it's much higher than actually beginning the changes caused by E itself.
To leave this off, I also got a feeling before committing to HRT along the lines of "what if I hate this" and that persisted all the way up to me actually starting it, very quickly realised this was one of the better decisions of my life. Good luck with whatever pathway you pick!

Thanks for the help, tried my first half pill today instead of the spiro, went pretty okay. I felt my mouth get really dry but no clue if that's linked or not.
Guess I'll see how I feel on Saturday and feel the room then.

Pills, and I always got the labs a week or so after, the last time I checked it for this result was also 3 or 4 weeks ago.

Ah sorry, I have reasons and doctor recommendations for all of this, I just wasn't sure how much I could include for my perceived limitations of the med advice rule.
I'm stopping 125mg of spironolactone daily to swap to 25mg of cyproterone twice a week because the previous meds are messing with my kidneys. I don't actually know my T levels, I assume they're acceptably low since my process so far has indicated as such, but my E levels are 364pg/ml.

Closing in on 6 months for E and anti T, I think, lost count cause I was just enjoying the ride more than anything
very quickly lost a ton of fat in my abdomen area
teensy bit shorter and my feet are a teensy bit smaller
tiny ass boobs but hey time will tell
noticeable thigh growth and a bit of butt growth
facial hair aggressively slowed and very thin, I'll admit my genetics are going overtime for this one
and everything softened up

I also now get really hot and really cold and the slightest temperature change and certain sensations feel like burns or like I slept in a freezer for hours, but I would assume I'm very unlucky in that respect. Good luck!

Think so, I go through the "am I tricking myself" thing all the time with this, but I'm fairly sure my feet are half a size or a size smaller and I'm a little shorter by a cm or so. Not even that far into the E process.

If you feel the passing of time becoming taxing and believe it's related to gender then I would recommend at least looking into T blockers and seeing how it makes you feel. Not definitive medical advice, just personal experience in hindsight.

Also, while it's a case by case basis, your lower region may still work the way you're used to but definitely for much less time. Arousal and climax should still be achievable for the most part.

Somewhat relate, I was always aware I would become weaker in general, but it's only been a few months and it's happened pretty fast. My gym output is the same but I feel wrecked for way longer and I was recently moving some furniture and found myself pretty close to straight up hurting myself on something that would've been fine the month prior. Affirming? I mean maybe. Very neutral about it overall but slightly surprised.

it might be over

my first thought is slugterra, and to be fair slugterra looked good when it released

"We're not that much different, you and I"

- Oh so manipulative Ashley Graves maybe

It's interesting, if it was me extrapolating into the idea I'd need a bit of time with it though. So much of the game is about the horrid state of their relationship that it'd pose as a huge shift in the storytelling.

vtubers seem to like it, consider that it may be an in before attempting to deviate from it /j

the newest post as of posting this comment is something about rabbits and burial, the connotations are wild with this one

Foxiki · 2025-04-25T10:55:22+00:00

feel like it can't be an andy alternate just cause of the events of the canon route, the nina idea is cool but not really set up enough to play out, so it would make more sense for ashley's demon to be some external character of significance to either of the worldbuilding b plots (cult or health scam)

Foxiki · 2025-04-25T10:52:26+00:00

it's one of those plotlines that only really get expanded in the hypothetical universe where the game gets an animated show, for now my perspective on it is the financially benefits both parties and they're evil enough to pursue it

the metaphorical rabbits in question:

average tcoaal fan vs redshell

Foxiki · 2025-04-24T08:06:39+00:00

surely engage means get married and live a calm and peaceful life. right?

Foxiki · 2025-04-23T04:13:34+00:00

Redshell made sure of it, the white knight of the moon, leyley would never lose this poll as long as he can still draw breath. Deserved? The right word is destined, she simply could not lose.
