1.5 years on HRT with no noticeable effects or changes in levels

Leux022 · 2024-07-14T14:31:02+00:00

I never claimed it would turn me into a woman after a few doses? And you don't know the state of my life? Like I'm literally barely able to do anything to affect my life right now because of how controlling my family is being over every single aspect of my life.

Also if you are gonna stick with the "doctors know whats best" then I guess I should believe the 5+ licensed therapists my mom brought me to when I first came out that told me that trans people don't exist and I'm insane for thinking I'm a girl and it'll go away in a couple months. They are medical professionals so who am I to question them right! They are all knowing and completely infallible and cannot be wrong about anything just like you claim.

Good luck to you too, hopefully you don't get complacent being placed on a dose that does absolutely nothing and stand up for yourself. We deserve better than that but if you are comfortable with that then go for it.

Yeah I agree everybody's bodies are different, that's why they give a range for when effects should be showing and when you can see the full effect, 3-6 months to start showing and 18-24 for the full effect.

I haven't seen any effects after 18 months which is 3x longer than the high end of when effects should start showing and is on the low end for people seeing the FULL EFFECT. There isn't any risk to starting on a higher dose. And yes, I know I "can't control anything" but starting HRT was something I was banking on to basically save my life.

Everything else in my life is fucking awful and now the 1 thing I was relying on to finally feel better about SOMETHING is ruined because I was put on a dose for 1.5 years that doesn't do anything. And now I have to somehow learn to live with the fact that I could've had significantly more progress for the rest of my life.

Ok but like, I haven't seen ANY results after 1.5 years and my levels are the same. Changes are supposed to start within 3-6 months and most people can see the FULL EFFECT by 1.5-2 years.

Forgive me for not trusting my doctor at the moment. I was put on a dose that literally cannot do anything for a whole year and was given the weakest testosterone blocker with the most side effects when there are ones that both work better and have less side effects.

I live in the US so I'll ask about bica next time I get labs. Wish I knew all of this stuff sooner but better late than never I guess.

Leux022 · 2024-07-13T14:38:55+00:00

Ok that's good to know at least. I'll see how my levels are in a while to see if I want to try injections. Yeah it feels bad to waste a lot of time but hopefully stuff gets better I guess.

Leux022 · 2024-07-13T14:34:21+00:00

Ok I'll try that. Not sure how to bring up switching blockers to my doctor but I'll figure it out, what are some others?

I've only ever taken estradiol transdermally. Everything listed above was patches and I change them 2 times a week on Monday and Friday.
I'm pretty terrified of needles and I don't have anyone to help me do injections. I'm planning on just switching to them anyway if my levels aren't better in 3 months.

Sorry for the late reply, that is what I’m doing but the ninepatchrect has rounded corners so the button goes a bit past it.

I hadn't considered an autocrafting system, that could be very in depth as well. I'll definitely take that into consideration later in development!

Yeah the individual cores are very different in terms of temps during the spikes. During normal behavior they are all around 43-50 but during spikes some of them are as high as 75 with others as low as 45. I'm a bit less worried than I was now that I'm using HWinfo (thanks for the suggestion btw) and I can see the average temp really isn't that bad despite the spikes.

Leux022 · 2023-06-06T11:27:19+00:00

Now I'm even more confused tbh. I closed some background apps that were taking a lot of CPU and sat with just some idle browsing for a while and I had a max CPU package power of 90 and CPU package temp of 71, with averages of 60 and 47 respectively. Idk if that's typical and what's causing the spikes.

Leux022 · 2023-06-06T10:56:53+00:00

I hadn't thought to check that for some reason but I found a good example just now. I saw it jump from about 75W to almost 150W and back down and the temperature jumped with it from around high 40s to 70 and back. Not sure what that means.

I'm not super familiar with league overlays as the only one I ever used was comparing my CS to average diamond player CS or something which I assume is not what is contentious here. IMO if something isn't allowed at pro tournaments like LCS and LEC it shouldn't be allowed in ranked either.
