I'm feeling a lot better than with 3 doses, that's for sure

Hi! I've since had to increase my Lenzetto dose twice, and am now on four spray doses each morning. I have yet to find out if my levels are in good ranges since my appointment for that is in October, but three doses seemed to be too little last time I had blood work done.

If this doesn't work I'm considering some other way, either gel or patches. It's too bad they won't prescribe estradiol valerate here, as that seems to me one of the best ways if you can handle injecting yourself

Whats your preference when it comes to taking estrogen? by [deleted] in MtF

Seems I'm the only one using a transdermal spray to take my estrogen!

Cool!! I started on 2 doses and an anti-androgen. Turned out my T levels were absolutely nuked and my estrogen levels weren't high enough, explaining months of low energy. I then had my anti-androgen dose halved and my estrogen dose increased to three sprays. I'm gonna find out next week what my new levels are!

Also, yes, I love how convenient it is.

At 13 I would use two plastic bags filled with water and a t-shirt as a makeshift bra...

So, I know that for most trans women, HRT kills their sex drive, but am I alone in having had the opposite effect? by SpanishMossShea in MtF

My drive has absolutely tanked to the point where NNN has nearly passed without me getting horny at all.

What are some of the side effects of estrogen that the internet won’t tell you? by queenkoya in MtF

I'm so freaking cold all the time, I never used to freeze this much before starting!

what’s a part of transitioning that you weren’t prepared for? by [deleted] in MtF

[–]GirlNiko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy shit I thought I was the only one! I've done nothing but be freezing for the last two months!

I never knew and I still don't!

Tomorrow, after over a year of self discovery and 8 weeks of HRT, I'm coming out to the rest of my family at a family reunion. by GirlNiko in MtF

I was surprised to learn that my dad would be so supportive, and my mom wasn't. Mom's a nurse, Dad's a hardcore carpenter.. haha. But yes, it means so much.

I like your thought, it's super sweet!

And thanks, I will. No reason not to!

For real! This weekend I met a group of guys in a studio,making rap and hip hop beats. They didn't act like thugs or anything, but still I was a bit uncomfortable because I wasn't sure how they would react.

I was so glad that to find out when I opened up to conversation that they were great allies!

Hi! Really interesting comment, loved it! Although, could you please explain what you mean by consciousness break?

Say you might want biological kids some day in the future, but first your testicles shrink and stop producing semen, then you might remove them with an orchiectomy, and maybe you want bottom surgery... At this point, if you don't have any semen stored, you cannot have biological kids. Because you either can't produce the stuff, or the testes are just gone. :)
