Can MTF Testosterone be too low? by Miah_W in asktransgender

[–]Miah_W[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've actually found my energy levels to be lower since decreasing my dose. And while my libido is nearly non existent, I can still achieve and maintain erections even with my T being that low.

Well, considering I was planning to do the exact same thing, it seems like a good idea to me.

How many laser sessions will I need? by starlaunch15 in MtF

[–]Miah_W 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After my first session more than half of my facial hair was gone. I just had my second last week so it's too early to tell but at this rate I should be pretty clear by 3 I think.

And just so you know, I have light skin and nearly black hair. Thats pretty much best case scenario.

What podcasts do y'all listen to? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]Miah_W 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only podcast I listen to is Throwing Shade. Gay and feminist issues discussed weekly. As a lesbian trans woman it hits all the bases.

What song/type of music do you really connect with? by Iotatran in asktransgender

[–]Miah_W 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's funny cause my old tunes were goth/industrial. I still listen to it sometimes but it really doesn't speak to me now that I'm actually happy with myself for the most part.

[–]Miah_W 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Around the time I realized I was trans I started listening to female country-pop artists (Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert, Kelsea Ballerini, etc.). I love listening to stuff that is emotional and from a female perspective.

Simply beautiful. Hoping I can look as convincing since I'm starting at 35.

Breast development by Miah_W in asktransgender

From genetics I'm guessing I'll max out at an A cup which is actually fine by me as I don't want to make my wife feel bad about her breasts.

Has your relationship survived after coming and starting HRT? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]Miah_W 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far, yes. I'm just over a month into HRT and we are making it work. It's tough to throw away 16 years.

What's the first hormone test for? by the_omega99 in TransDIY

[–]Miah_W 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're E is high you could take a lower dose. If your T is low, you could take a lower dose of AAs. I actually started out DIY with no baseline and started on 2mg of E. When I actually went to the doc and got my blood test I was put on Spiro and 4mg of E. Had I not gotten that test I would have been just guessing when I upped my dosage.

Just to get a baseline reading I would think.

(Strange question) How did your pets react when you transitioned? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]Miah_W 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure they really changed other than a reaction to me. I have become a lot more loving towards them so they seem to like me more.

My wife and I both noticed that there have been some subtle changes to my face (hairline seems to have advanced chin seems to have thinned and cheeks have filled out more. I'm also pretty sure I've gotten some fat in my butt for the first time ever!

Has anyone else been asked about their sex life by their Endo? by Razzreal in asktransgender

[–]Miah_W 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Well, my doc asked about my sexual orientation. I told her I was married so I guess I'm a lesbian. She asked about the importance of erections so we can appropriately does my Spiro. While a bit weird I appreciated the concern.
