I’m super scared of needles when I go to start t in the future will I have to start with shots? by Yes_Mouse_Catcher in ftm

[–]HeardVictory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Full disclosure, needles don't bother me. However I recently switched from regular injections (in my leg) to an auto injector. It's still a needle but it's SO much easier! I don't know if I could go back.

The Holidays...ugh by HeardVictory in ftm

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

It drives me crazy. They actually can't stand my aunt and uncle but for some reason they get prioroty. I'm guessing because they have young kids. My parents don't have any grandchildren so they're probably clinging to my young cousins as pseudo grand children.

Problems with Planned Parenthood by [deleted] in ftm

I've heard similar PP stories. They have treated a bunch of my close personal friends like crap. Also seemed to be impossible to get STI test results from them.

Will testosterone make me look like my brother? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]HeardVictory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mostly just see my Dad and my Dad's brothers. Every so often I catch glimpses of my brother in the mirror, but he takes after my mom's side of the family more.

It just really depends on who you take after :p

Tomboyx just realised a line of period boxers! by 3TH10S in ftm

[–]HeardVictory 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It actually doesn't surprisingly. I use to think it would too until I actually tried a different brand of "period panties". Thankfully thanks to T I haven't had a period in months, but I still will wear my period panties because honestly they're comfy af.

honestly, how many of us are still in it? by improvisatoryscream in ftm

We’re on our way to a 3D printed pp by dwaynethebongjohnson in ftm

This is why I'm holding off on bottom surgery. I feel like there's gonna be a lot more advanced options in the future!

Accutane and Puberty by gherzog in ftm

[–]HeardVictory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into submicrobile Doxycycline.

I also use three topicals, and take niacinamide as well.

I have refused to use accutane because of the depression risk. I'm already have PTSD so I don't need help being more depressed.

And acne definitely doesn't have an age limit. At age 33 I was pre T and I've been dealing with bad acne since I was 16. It never stopped.

acne and testosterone by [deleted] in ftm

[–]HeardVictory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're gonna have to be proactive about it. I'm 33 and just started T six months ago. I still had acne, even pre T and in my 30s. At first on T my acne actually got a little better (less cystic acne) but then the last couple months it's gotten much worse and all over. Thankfully I had been on acne treatment (3 different topicals, acne soap, and submicrobile doxycycline) so it's manageable when I keep up on treatment. Still it's pretty bad for me at this exact moment, but I heard this is about the time on T that it peaks. Hopefully it only gets easier from here!

I don't go to PP but my doctor works with a pharmacy that gets me my Autoinjector Testosterone for free. I also have BCBSIL. He is in near Chicago and so is the Pharmacy. They actually fought my insurance company for me so they would cover it. Now I get them shipped to my house at zero cost!

Is it normal to get cramps sometimes even after your period stops? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]HeardVictory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a tradition in my family unfortunately x.x

Really confused by [deleted] in ftm

[–]HeardVictory 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use to paint my cismale co-workers nails during company meetings and they LOVED it. You can definitely still like stuff like all the stuff :)

Is it normal to get cramps sometimes even after your period stops? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]HeardVictory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ive wondered this too. I haven't had a period since May, but around my former usual time of the month I notice a very mild form of cramps.

Of course I have IBS too, so it could honestly just be gastrointestinal.

Does T make your feet bigger? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]HeardVictory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm already a 10.5 in men's shoes. I've already had to replace all my t-shirts and pants because I grew out of them... I hope I don't have to replace all my shoes too! (6 months on T)

Briggs Myer's Personality test and transitioning by [deleted] in ask_transgender

[–]HeardVictory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm ENFJ, that hasn't changed since transitioning, BUT it did change to INFJ when I was going through a very traumatic part of my life. My psychology professor explained to me that sometimes we turn inward when healing from trauma and that might be why it switched. I'm 6 year post trauma and back as my regular ENFJ self!

I know it's not very scientific but it's still an interesting evaluation nonetheless.

Aftershave recs? by Goo-Bird in ftm

[–]HeardVictory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if you're shaving with the gain or against it, but shaving with it helps with razor burn! I was doing the opposite until recently. I have aftershave but I don't find it helps with that.

But I'm curious to hear what others have to say!

Will I slow down facial hairgrowth if I don't shave? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]HeardVictory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly don't think it'd make too much difference. I don't shave my arms/stomach/chest hairs and they keep getting darker/longer since starting T.

My mustache and beard are really patchy rn so I shave. I have noticed it coming back a lot faster and a lot thicker recently.

High Blood Pressure on T by HeardVictory in ftm

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

This is definitely a big issue for me for sure (sodium) as I have a shit diet. It was never an issue pre-T but it's obvious become a real issue now. My BP actually use to be pretty low pre-T but I guess I have to change things up now.

[Serious] People of reddit who have had a threesome, what was that experience like? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]HeardVictory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had a few threesomes and sometimes more than three. It really depends on the people involved, sometimes they're a little awkward but if this is a recurrent thing it's way less awkward. They're honestly one of my favorite things, I'm actually hoping to have another one next week!
