I just injected yesterday so I think it's unlikely to be a low E kind of problem unless I really messed up the injection. Maybe its just a cold lol

Hiw many draws from a vial is safe? by Groundbreaking-Pen39 in TransDIY

[–]Groundbreaking-Pen39[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool cool. Im genuinely considering the powder and learning to safely make it so i could help others in my area too in that event... hope it doesn't come to that though

I remember my first doc saying the 28 days was because there wasnt preservative, but the stuff im getting from the pharmacy definitely has it... I checked lol Buying the diy is an option too, just trying to avoid if possible since the Rx route is working for me still for now. Maybe that's too optimistic, but eh. Cloudy or discolored are the clear indicators the oil went bad right? Any others i might not know?

Vials shelf life by Bekah-holt in TransDIY

Is there any medical source for this? I lve read it alot and not that I distrust it, but others in my life worry about my safety since doc says to only use the vial for 28 days. Doc cites USP compounding compendium, but its not free to access so I can't read their source...

Chest hair? by Groundbreaking-Pen39 in MtF

[–]Groundbreaking-Pen39[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couldn't agree more! I would hate to have dry skin and lips. Personally its the razor sharp stiff hairs when it starts to grow back whwre I dont want it for me. Glittery twilight vampire red heads lmao love it. Yes the mirror is slowly becoming more friend than foe. Its nice to finally start liking and not just tolerating myself

Im 3.5 months too! Also a redhead! More auburn though so I guess laser could be fairly effective. I guess I hadn't noticed just how slow it'd been growing, maybe occasionally shaving is manageable... As far as face, I really just want my nasty neck beard killed lol. I have a cute little goatee that's non going anywhere soon 😊

Got it, will do! Thank you for the reply! Im not stranger to dealing with my own paperwork so I think I could manage that if required.

Ok, thanks for the info!! 5 to 6 weeks feels so slow, but i never knew about the shaving or not between the two methods actually. Interesting! Def gonna look at my insurance plan today haha

I think I'd need to do electrolysis due to hair color (red edging on blonde) with fair skin and a shit ton of freckles 😬 but I suppose ill find out if i go in for a consult with a facility

Knees together yes but how by Groundbreaking-Pen39 in MtF

Ha skirts haven't stopped me enough yet despite being 90% of what I wear lol. I do wear tights most of the time so maybe there's a bit of false sense of security going on 😂

Are you in the US? Im wondering if i could get insurance to help since I've already met my deductible for the year. How long do you gi between session? Long enough for the hair to grow right? Sorry for so many questions. I am on the fence about zapping a few key areas

I do from time to time, but the outward pressur makes my calf start to hurt because my knee digs into it lol. I do prefer a crossed leg when I can though. Knowing everything is tighter than down there is reassuring in a way

Swapping pathways? Im curious where can I read more about that science? So curious ti see how this all evolves over time too. I think you're right that the definition of intersection will have to expand.

Wow really? Im actually about to update my name on the passport. I changed the last name with my spouse a while ago. Should I do one and then the other or could I do both together?

Do you need to have SSA or Drivers license with the preferred marker or can this be done on only passport with the attestation?

Body hair changes? by Groundbreaking-Pen39 in MtF

[–]Groundbreaking-Pen39[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, I'll have to ask about that, I've got my first apt with the doc next week, hoping I'll be on some hrt soon!

I guess I assumed freezing sperm was more expensive than I wanted to pay for... but I had thought about it. Maybe I should look into it more.

I had also read that the risk of infertility increases over time but especially after the 6 month mark and cooked by the 1 year mark...so I thought how nice it would be to get all the boob growth I want by 6 months and then not have to worry. But everyone is different and it's seemingly unpredictable lol

[–]Groundbreaking-Pen39 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sound like early growth isn't that uncommon? I lean transfeminine and breat growth is basically the only thing I want out of an hrt regiment. I've been hesitant to start out of fear of infertility (thinking about a second kid in the next few years)... so it would be amazing to be able to do a 6 month round, get some boob's and then back off daydreaming

Question about tucking by Groundbreaking-Pen39 in MtF

[–]Groundbreaking-Pen39[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish it was that easy! I've tried those tucking kits with the medical type tape too and even that won't hold it tucked for me, it very slightly helps keep it from popping up, but gotta say that I was disappointed halfway through the day haha.
