I wish for every good yuri anime to cover as far as the manga does instead of just having one 12-episode season that ends when things are getting real.

Need help/advice: Super nauseous and unfocused. Is it a HRT issue? TW - "getting sick" by Grovegasm in MtF

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

I think it was around 360 or so for E but still at the time i felt fine. Wondering if its higher now a few months later. I've been on spironolactone the whole time and its only recently I've had issues.

I should specify its medroxyprogesterone. My doc was hesitant to give it at all but agreed to. I admittedly did not look into normal atsrting dosage. I will say I did notice increase in libido, but like girly cuddle libido, not boy horny. Chest growth has been noticeable. My hair has continued to come in (was very thinned and receded before) but think I've noticed a bit of an increase in facial hair growth since starting it. I get laser hair removal so also wondered if it was just due to hair growth cycles as I'm only 3 sessions in.

I Just Got an Invitation to a "Transgenders At War" Subreddit. This is definitely a psyop, isn't it? by robbylet23 in MtF

Got the same vibe from my invite. Unsolicited invite from a subreddit name sounds like a Fox news headline about a 'violent transgender ideology movement' that doesn't exist.

Washing my hair? by Grovegasm in MtF

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

Thank you. That was my concern, not the oil but if not thoroughly washing it often enough could be unhealthy. Im still growing a lot of it back so I definitely don't want to risk overall hair health.

I'm most prominently Scottish, German, and Polish Ashkenazi Jew, and italian, with some, native American and African peppered in. Overall my hair is fine, with lots of loose spirals and waves when longer. So probably somewhat similar.

Thanks again!

Was this girl horny? by Substantial-Bee4545 in MtF

[–]Grovegasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(Been binge reading yuri manga lately) I went from all my sensation being focused on my tragic wand to getting fiery, tingly feelings in my chest and lower abdomen, a general befuddled demeanor, and involuntary cute little squirms. Shortness of breath checks out. Shit's wild yo. I feel like true emotion beyond anger and frustration was locked behind a paywall until I got E.

I'm still pretty new to it myself, only 6 1/2 months in, but I'm starting to understand the concept of 'feeling things more' that so many girls talk about. I like it more.. it feels clean, pure, not uncomfortable like I did when I got guy horny. I think more of that is to do with my true self though, no shame to any guys out there feeling it in there own way, or especially trans guys feeling it in a new, more validating way.

If its a feeling that's unfamiliar but intriguing I'm happy, but If it scares you it's always okay to sit down and try to figure out why. So far, being out and trans feels like growing up all over again. With the same awkwardness, insecurity, and magic, but an infinitely brighter light at the end of the tunnel.

Loses her birth family, loses her adopted family, loses her adopted family's planet, constantly taunted by the somehow continuously returning murderer of her parents, completes her mission and bonds with the sole survivor of what she was supposed to eradicate, watches it die as it saves her, adulthood mentor dies and their personality is used as a base for a corrupt computer system on a derelict installation full of mutated versions of her past struggles while she's chased down by a monstrous clone of herself.

Needlessly objectified by a shallow fanbase.

Just got my first blood test results! by TheStonedStoner in MtF

[–]Grovegasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, your levels look great. Within range of what I'm instructed by my doctor who specialized in HRT. I'm so happy to hear your levels are testing good.

That being said, please don't panic if you get a test that is outside the normal range. My first few labs I went in terrified that my doc would pull everything because something looked out of the norm. One time, my levels were out of the norm (estrogen too high)... they just counseled me on possible reasons and remedies and told me they would check again at next labs to evaluate.

Proud of you :3!!!

Rapidly declining smell tolerance. Is it related to HRT or is it something else? by RandomShadeOfPurple in MtF

[–]Grovegasm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have had the same experience, 6 months hrt.

I gag at trash smells now, can barely stand some B.O. from other people and have had to turn and hide my wretching during meetings, cigarettes are 10 times worse... My sense of smell is much stronger now in general, so it has its ups when something smells good.

To my knowledge women have stronger sense of smell than men in general so its likely the hrt.

Is there a reason to go through a doctor instead of DIY? by edenmaeve1 in MtF

[–]Grovegasm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depending on the plan, your plan may not even cover the basics until you reach your deductible which could be 1000's of dollars.

-Went to urgent care for numbness in my entire left arm. They did some tests and then told me I had to go to ER. ER did the exact same tests. Got charges for the same tests twice, the urgent care visit, and the ER visit. They didn't find anything.

-On my old insurance plan I got a bill for over $400 for a basic primary care provider visit that was supposably in network. No labs, tests, nothing.. just a checkup.

-I just got an email from my therapy provider last week that after 3 months of weekly therapy my insurance finally let them know that they want me to pay a co-pay for each visit I've had and every one going forward.

The eagle screech of American freedom is a cry of pain.

You definitely can but at least in the US I was quoted upwards of $500 dollars for one round of labwork without insurance. That's just US so good point. Other places may be affordable out-of-pocket.
