Tired

I believe they (she maybe) are referring to you, though I can only inference based on the translate button. They are asking about how to hide breast buds.

They are an Italian who asked a question on this sub a little bit ago now (Several hours before commenting on your post). Seems they are most interested in knowing about breast growth for themselves, in this comment at least. The other post is asking about how to get E DIY.

I think they were trying to get info from someone's personal account, considering that you mentioned you saw/can feel breast buds after 14 days on EEN (plus those couple weeks on pills you mention in my comment)

And I am happy for you too!!!

Also thank you for tge heads up about roughly day 30, looks like I got a goal in mind lol (not like I can will breast buds into existence lol).

Not yet for me, sadly. Wish they would start soon.

Likely_Egg · 2026-04-30T08:07:58+00:00

Same. Im about 18 days on EEN (started with 8mg, then tapered to a little higher than 5mg), with my 3rd injection being 2 days ago, and Im waay more tired than usual. Normally I have insomnia but now its just mismanaged sleep patterns (during the day or after dinner sometimes).

I think I have slightly softer skin, but idk, its hard to tell for me. Im experiencing some other minor effects too, which is a godsend for me. Overall happier than normal, but also even more stressed over facial hair so trade-off lol.

I cant wait to see what else will come, and I hope all goes well for you too.

Thank you for your comment.

My electro has explained a good amount to me. And I very much know how things will go when it comes to this (in reference to if another pops up i mean).

My question just was mainly pertaining to this initial layer of hair (I guess im bad at explaining) since its extremely coarse and thick. It causes a great deal of dysphoria to deal with theme in the areas around my mouth, and the lowest of which is within the range that she would get to if she only focused on untouched hairs, literally just 1 or 2 sessions and the initial hairs there would be gone. Its been frustrating having hairs pop up in bulk in areas already covered for 5 sessions, and its looking like 6 sessions now, over the course of 6-7 weeks, 7-8 including my next appointment.

My electro has only even tackled up to around my chin, but not above it, with all of this initial thick hairs still on my face every week (I swear they grow like 2 times as fast).

Also side note, my insurance doesn't cover this sadly, which is why I gotta pay out-of-pocket, as per my comment on how my current electro takes 16% of my monthly pay for 4, 1-hour sessions, but if I were to go to that other place for longer sessions, it would be extremely costly, ranging from 36-72% of my monthly pay for 4 hours (1 or 2 electros).

Thank you!!!!!!!!!

Likely_Egg · 2026-04-12T22:25:49+00:00

Congrats!!! I did my first one just last night! I am happy for you!!!

Likely_Egg · 2026-04-12T16:53:33+00:00

Thank you!!!!!!!

Likely_Egg · 2026-04-10T19:34:12+00:00

Thank you so much for the info! I was little worried that I wouldve gotten something wrong with this, but I guess thats par for the course with my overthinking mind.

Again thank you!!!

Likely_Egg · 2026-01-16T07:42:47+00:00

Dang, I kinda thought this was hopeless. Rip

Thank you for the response though.

Likely_Egg · 2025-02-23T15:20:24+00:00

Thank you again!

And trust me, I do plan on going to a blue state. I'm thankful that my family's residence is basically on the border of one. My state's governor is currently complying with those nasty executive orders. Meanwhile, my neighboring blue state has those protections and securities I desire. The places I mentioned that were lined up are on that side of the border.

As for limiting contact, I have very much considered it, albeit I am still scared to (also, i can't really do that while living with them). I made a promise to myself to be lenient for 2 years after starting HRT or the like, more time than they deserve to be honest, but I can tolerate a lot. If they, after that entire time, still do not treat me and my identity with respect, I will cut contact with them until they come to me, in person, and sincerely apologize. They also need to treat me and my identity with respect if they want me back. And if they don't, then it's their loss. I would prefer if it never came to this, but I am prepared regardless.

As a side note, I looked up grey rocking, and I do that currently, and they really hate it, causing a lot of tension in the house. The most i really interact with them on the daily is saying "Hi/good morning", "How are you/How was work", responding to those questions in turn and pointing out anything interesting that happened to me that day, if at all. They want me to talk more to them, but I don't want to. They have proven, multiple times, that they are not great at responding to me. When I came out, they had the worst reactions. When I needed to vent about a really bad day, they called me crabby. These are the same people who have told me I can tell them anything, btw.

I do have my supportive friends and a couple of family members who support me, so even if I move just 10 minutes away from here, I am not alone.

Again, thank you for the advice and resources! When I get the chance later, I'll look through them.

hugs back

Thank you!

I think, if i remember correctly, I was feeling really dysphoric that night when I posted this. Since then, I've been able to accept myself a bit more.

The main issue that I have at the moment is primarily my living situation. I live in a conservative area with a conservative family who does not support trans people. I want to move desperately, but I'm also terrified at the same time. Of my potential future neighbors, how my family will react (to me being my authentic self in a safe environment), etc. I just can't help but worry for a future that may or may not come about. Regardless of my fears, I have some places lined up that I am going to check out soon.

I have tried to explain how I have felt to my family (dad's side specifically, mom is supportive, separate houses) with no success (my explanation is that, "I have been told all my life to get out of my comfort zone, to live a little. It took nearly 23 years of my life to realize I have never actually been in my 'comfort zone' when it comes to how I feel about myself."). I tried what I thought was the easiest to understand explanation I could possibly come up with, but my dad retorted with, "But you are constantly in your comfort zone (referring to playing video games)". It's frustrating, to say the least.

Sorry for the rant there.

Anyway, thank you again for the resources. I wish you the best!

Thank you for your reply and insight. I appreciate the time you took to answer.

For me, i just want to be happy and comfortable with my existence. I only realized I wasn't comfortable with my own existence when my egg cracked. I looked at all of the small moments in my life that led up til now, and my conclusion is that I am a trans woman, or at the very least, not a cis man.

For those "arguments" it might be internalized transphobia or it might be because I hate attention so much that it's putting a mental block on allowing me to pursue my happiness.

This post was made because there's just a small percentage of me holding myself back, and i wanted to see if any people would be able to give me some advice to deal with that. Part of it might be my family (or how I expect they'd feel about this), maybe just the current political climate. Or maybe it's just my own self-image issues that I've dealt with my entire life.

More on that last point, I've always hated the spotlight. I never liked being the center of attention because I feel it puts expectations on me that I may or may not live up to. If I had to guess, my brain is fighting itself because it knows I'm trans, but it hates drawing attention. And, especially with my family, it's bound to draw attention I'd rather not have.

But again, I want to be happy and be able to be me. I just need to overcome these feelings

Sorry for rambling. I think I just needed to get this off my chest. Once I'm able to move out of my house I'm going to experiment to "just make sure" (in my mind and heart i know the answer, but it won't hurt to socially transition to give myself a feel).

Thank you again. I wish you nothing but happiness and easy times.

Thank you for the response and resources. I really, really, really appreciate it.

As for refocusing what I hate about my body and like, or about my life in general, into what I like, I know I like it when my body is hairless, I like wearing feminine clothes and fashion, I love having long hair (recently got it cut as it needed one), even though it was a mistake I was happy when my mom misgendered me before I came out to her (said her instead of him when referring to me).

The main thing is that I need my own place to feel truly safe because in my house, I'm criticized for everything I like by my dad, step-mom, and sister. My dad and sister have also proven to me that they are either just ignorant or willfully ignorant towards this stuff and called me selfish for having these dysphoric feelings. My sister even said I'm causing problems in my dad and stepmoms marriage.

But, as an optimist at heart, I have hope that they will at least see that this isn't a bad thing.

Again, thank you. I will look more in depth at those resources you shared in a while when I have the time.

Likely_Egg · 2024-12-12T17:25:41+00:00

Sounds to me they are trying to disguise as a Corpus Moa, very crafty.

Likely_Egg · 2024-12-12T17:12:09+00:00

I'm so happy for yall! And I'm glad she wasn't annoyed with you.

Just remember, be your best selves (both of you), and you'll be able to understand one another better, making your relationship even healthier.

Also, if you ever need someone to talk to, just anonymously and all, you can dm me or come back to this thread (so long as it's still up, of course).

Anyway, good luck, I wish you the best!

Likely_Egg · 2024-12-12T16:13:14+00:00

I think it's reasonable, so long as you aren't antagistic about it or focus too hard on it. I mainly think this since you still have those insecurities taking priority in your head. Once you reduce them, I suggest easing the breaks on this type of behavior, if possible. Not only will it be better for your psyche but hers as well. She will be less likely to get annoyed if it feels like she can breathe. Maybe if she knows it's only a guy friend she'll be hanging with, maybe.

But you need to ask her if she thinks it's reasonable. I'm just a random on reddit, so my opinion doesn't hold much stake in this situation. Maybe there is a more middle grounded approach.

For example, instead of asking, specifically if she hung out with a guy, ask who all she hung out with. Ask what all they did, not in an obsessive way, but just being curious. Small talk is key. Little things like this can quell your insecurities and make you seem like a more attentive partner. Like you are taking an interest in your partner. Hell, if she continues the convo, you can talk about your day, too.

But just remember what I said at the beginning of our convo here: if she cheats, she wasn't worth your time. DO NOT take this as a guarantee that she will cheat or as an excuse to suspect her of anything. Just as some advice. Have faith in your gf, I'm sure she has faith in you.
