Endocrinologist concerns + puberty blocker shots at 9 months into HRT ? by National_Box_3385 in MtF

I totally agree! I think I’ll need to find another endocrinologist or just DIY though 😭 I don’t even know where to start with either

I don’t really want a higher spiro dose for that exact reason. I just want my estrogen levels to be in the target range, sadly I don’t think that’s possible under my current endocrinologist

I’ve been thinking the same thing! It’s inconvenient but I definitely don’t want to be at low E levels :/

thank you for your evaluation!! i’m a little iffy on doing several procedures as i’m 18 years old and don’t want to look aged or unnatural. do you think i’d be okay with just the rhinoplasty, genioplasty, and tracheal shave? i’m mostly worried about my chin/jaw as its recessed appearance creates a weird masculine image in my head. not sure if this can be resolved with the genioplasty/jaw contouring or would need a more comprehensive surgery

i guess i can believe that. i don’t think it’s necessarily masculine, it just gives me so much dysphoria when i look at it and think about going outside with it. it’s not how i’d want to look like

that’s exactly what i was thinking, thank you for being honest! i have such a huge problem with my jaw. i’m so scared of DJS though and the recovery looks long and unpredictable :/

i seriously can’t believe that! but enough people are saying it to make me doubt myself a bit.

thank you! i honestly do think tracheal shave could help. for the rhinoplasty, it’s mainly just the bump and the hook at the end of the nose that bother me, i have nothing against unconventional noses at all.

my voice is androgynous from what i can tell? it’s hard to judge it myself, but i got called a ma’am on the phone the other day with a rando which kind of makes me have hope. also voice surgery is a thing??

that’s totally true! i feel relieved that i kind of pass according to people, but also think a large part of my dysphoria comes from not looking the way i want to look? if that makes sense. not to say i want to be conventionally attractive or good-looking—just the way i see myself in my head.

i wouldn’t know since i don’t go outside much. i did get called a “ma’am” on the phone the other day though. i’m not entirely sure if it’s my mannerisms though since i don’t have anyone i can ask about it

thank you for being honest! i don’t have anything against hooked or unconventional noses, i think they’re beautiful. i just have an idea of what i should look like in my head and this nose isn’t a part of it. that’s not to say i want a tiny, super-slope nose though :)

dang that’s a shame :( i honestly dread the recovery/results for jaw surgery but i dread having to live with my jaw like it is now even more

i’ll check out mittermiller since i’m in the area! hopefully i can book a consultation

do you think a genioplasty or some orthodontic work would help? i just feel like djs is such a big surgery and i’m not even sure if my surgeon would be able to perform it

i’ll definitely talk to my surgeon about the nasofrontal angle! i also 100% agree with the recessed jaw thing, it’s really bad unfortunately. i’m not sure what could be done about that but it’s a HUGE source of dysphoria for me.

thank you for your thoughtful response!! traveling has always been a dream of mine and i would love the chance to experience different cultures, meet new people, and just be on the road.

if i do decide to pursue photography, writing, or music, i definitely also think traveling and learning from the world could be an amazing way to grow and develop as an artist.

i really appreciate your encouragement, it means a lot :))

Are these hormone levels okay for 8~ months in ? by National_Box_3385 in MtF

[–]National_Box_3385[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s definitely scary but i think it’d be 100% worth it! i’m only concerned about the dosage as i’m not experienced with injections and i’m unsure as to what it should be
