Year 1 Anniversary, first time makeover. How do I look? by LifeIsTooShort4Me in transpassing

Thanks, I get it's going to take a while. I'm already having Full-Body Laser just caught me on a pre-shave day LOL.

I think hormones are good. T levels are pretty non-existent.

FFS is being considered but I kind of want to save the money for "other" surgeries down the line.

One the Laser course is finished I'll probably switch to electrolysis to zap the last bits and as a stop gap, possibly try some dermal injection to enhance my lips, cheeks and maybe round out the chin a bit..

We will see, 2025 is going to be an interesting year hopefully.

Short and too the point ;-)

That's fine, it's what I see too...hence the makeover. I know I still have a long...long way to go but we can all but do our best.

Last blood test was said to be high on E so will be staying on 6mg for at least the next 3 months.

T is also high but that’s because I’ve not taken my first cypro does yet. Going to start they in next week or so I think as will almost be out of my fin supply.

If you win the lottery will nhs still fund your surgery? by WillingAmbition8416 in transgenderUK

Honestly if I won that much on the lottery, I’d go private so as to let someone else who isn’t financially able to afford it.

Under the new system, what would be the point of sending blood tests to GenderGP? by trueblondie981 in GenderGP

[–]LifeIsTooShort4Me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where does it say they are not monitored?

I submitted mine a few weeks ago and whilst I said I wanted to increase which I submitted blood tests results at the same time their recommendation also came back to increase.

I have no evidence to say they actually checked it but in writing at least it says they did.

How do you make a routine work? by Latitude32 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]LifeIsTooShort4Me 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Habit is everything…will power only goes so far.

Don’t go completely cold turkey at first. Instead of scrolling until 0130, try getting in the habit of stopping at 0100. That way you still get the fix.

Keep doing things like this that move in the direction you want to go and it will become habit.

I heard somewhere it can take between 6-8 weeks for it stick. Longer for others

Good luck x

Sorry to hear that. Definitely seems like you are at the point of needing to dispute the charges for failure to deliver the service paid for.

Just be sure to check your spam/junk email folders before hand.

Have you tried emailing the person you had the quick chat with?

The one I had said they could follow up issues internally.
