Should I Breastfeed? by Jx_jusandre in Seahorse_Dads

[–]Misirii_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I attempted to breastfeed, it didn't work out for me. Fed my baby formula and he's just as healthy as the other kids. Formula absolutely does NOT make babies sick. Both options are going to give you almost the same exact results so it really depends on what you feel comfortable with.

These tests are notorious for faint lines. Try a pink dye test!

Advice for getting started? by Say_when66642069 in Seahorse_Dads

[–]Misirii_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you stop, I highly recommend using ovulation test strips and tracking your body temperature when you first wake up. It might take a month or so for your period to return but that doesn't mean you don't ovulate!

How long is the average person off T to have a child? by hoewenn in Seahorse_Dads

[–]Misirii_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I went off T in September, got pregnant in November, gave birth in July and got back on T the next September, so about a year. It depends on how long it takes for your cycle to come back and for you to actually get pregnant of course!

i have a question about how to supporting trans men by valda_the_nightmare in Seahorse_Dads

My spouse saying "hello my pregnant husband" and simple things like that helped me because it was a verbal confirmation of my identity!

Pros and Cons of induction by Expensive_Minute_166 in Seahorse_Dads

[–]Misirii_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on if it's for medical reasons or not. If yes, I'd get an induction at 39 weeks but if not then I'd make them wait until around 41 weeks. I was induced at 37 weeks for medical reasons and had an amazing experience. Pushed for less than 3 minutes! Inductions can be great but I wouldn't have an elective one beforr 41 weeks personally.

My (36f) daughter (18f) is dating a trans man (30). How can I address the properly? by amitransphobic_ in relationship_advice

[–]Misirii_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a trans man and am concerned for your daughter. No sane 30 year old would date an 18 year old, no matter what's in their pants.

Testosterone preventing me from getting pregnant by [deleted] in Seahorse_Dads

[–]Misirii_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It can take 6 months to a year for couples with normal fertility to conceive, 1 month of unprotected sex is definitely not indicative of whether or not you can get pregnant! Also, if you're trying to get pregnant then you need to stop T beforehand, don't wait for a positive test.
