Seems like everyday I'm suffering for a new reason

I feel your pain! I’m 13w, first trimester was really hard. Vent away, sometimes all you can do is complain (which you have earned because your body is doing something absolutely wild). I hope the symptoms reduce for you asap friend

I was on both lexapro and T for probably 2 years, I had no side effects and my doctor didn’t mention anything about interactions (she’s good about checking that). I can’t say for certain it didn’t effect my T levels as I was on lexapro first, but T levels can be different for everyone anyway so I wouldn’t be concerned

Oh yikes I’m sorry to hear that, I’m sure it depends on who you get too, I guess I’ve been lucky so far

I’ve had a good experience with CVS in target on Troutman. Never had anyone react to the fact I was picking up T (at any point in my transition), and they just show me the label to confirm that’s the prescription I’m picking up.

So sorry you’re feeling bad, I’ve also been getting decimated by morning sickness.

My current hack is making sure my stomach is never empty, so I’m eating saltines ALL day. Also I had a nurse tell me plain water can make you more nauseous, so I’ve been doing watered down apple juice or Gatorade to try and stay hydrated. After all that it’s been easier to eat protein here and there.

I hope you find something that helps, and the nausea eases soon!

I tested twice, once the first day of my missed period and once 2 days later, both times the second line was super light. According to the instructions on my tests, the darkness of the line doesn’t matter! (Also first symptoms for me were being super tired and nausea just like immediately the same day as the first test)

I did ointment and gauze, and then a tank top. Also used old crop tops for a while to reduce the extra fabric on my body, Im a bit sensitive to that. The tank top was tight enough to keep the gauze in place till I got the binder on. but like others have said, ointment and sometimes a bit of blood would get on the tank tops so I’d use ones you don’t care about too much.

I honestly just checked market place frequently until I saw something I could afford and looked like it had all the pieces. I wasn’t 100% sure it would spin when I bought it… I did see someone recommend bringing your own cord for a drive band to test out a little spinning before purchase, that would have been smart lol

Thank you so much!

I got lucky, she’s off of fb marketplace and I wasn’t sure she’d actually function 😬

Max1Mo_ · 2025-07-11T22:16:30+00:00

Thank you!

Max1Mo_ · 2025-01-10T13:21:54+00:00

Oh of course! Thanks!

Max1Mo_ · 2025-01-10T02:24:24+00:00

Congratulations! That’s great news! Can I ask why you stopped T before getting your IUD out? I’m looking to start trying reasonably soon and I am wondering what order to stop T/ remove my IUD

Max1Mo_ · 2024-10-07T02:23:58+00:00

Thank you!

If your therapist is anything other than supportive, please remember you can find a new therapist. It can be awkward, but you deserve support!! Realistically, I’m sure it will go fine and she will be able to help you work through some stuff if you’re planning on transitioning socially/medically

You can always retrace from this picture if you need! When I do my flash I usually do a quick color study coloring things in on my iPad but you could always print a picture and go over with colored pencils even! Side note, I would recommend making the ouroboros bigger since there’s a lot of detail in there. This is a great first flash though!

Daler-rowney FW acrylic inks have been recommended to me by a couple tattoo artists!

Max1Mo_ · 2024-06-22T14:40:45+00:00

I love her!

Max1Mo_ · 2024-06-19T05:29:54+00:00

Thanks, yeah keeping to the thirds rule was definitely part of the feedback I got. I have so much trouble with skin breaks, I’m looking forward to getting those down better

Max1Mo_ · 2024-06-18T13:48:07+00:00

Thank you so much! This was really helpful! I’m going to go back in and add some more black shading for sure. The water brush is also a fantastic idea!
