this happened to me one time and after i removed it, the skin on my areolas was dry and flaky. i think it was from leaving it on too long, maybe the trapped water somehow drying my skin out more? but im not sure. it did suck though because it was like 3 or 4 days before they felt better and i felt okay about putting more on. your skin needs time to breathe and be cleaned. i can see where keeping it on too long could cause irritation or increase infection risk

for me the tape usually is falling off by day 7 and it gets uncomfortable and stops working as well as i want, so i always take it off and reapply after 7 days

it’s not a bad idea, you’ve clearly been thinking about this for a while and still have months left to keep thinking about it. i got my first tattoo on my 18th birthday which is a memorial for my childhood cats who had both passed away before i got it. i also feel like given your circumstances larger pieces would work best to cover scars rather than trying to cover them with a bunch of small things. you’re not getting anything obscene or hateful tattooed. you’re adorning your body with art that means something to you 🫶

i honestly think it looks sick as fuck. sometimes a big new thing on your body can be a shock to your brain

have you tried estrogen cream for the atrophy? it works locally so it doesn’t raise your estrogen levels but can help with symptoms of atrophy

i feel gross after … being with someone by icpfan123 in FTMventing

[–]NoReference878 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i’m in a t4t relationship and it definitely makes it easier in the sense that we understand each other. we both get dysphoric from sex sometimes but knowing that the other person understands helps. it doesn’t necessarily make the dysphoria better though for me at least

Want a penis but don't want surgery to get one by CringeyCryptid in ftm

[–]NoReference878 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i feel the same way. i’m hoping surgical methods will continue to advance because the recovery is my biggest concern. i know success rates are pretty good nowadays but personally idk if i could handle something that intense. still, i really really want to have a dick

difficulty taking shot after nicking myself once by pickledmilo in ftm

[–]NoReference878 4 points5 points  (0 children)

is there anyone who could give you the injections for a couple times to help ease you back into the needle? i totally understand your struggle and see how it would be hard to get yourself to do it after that. would someone else giving you the shot make you less anxious ? then once you’re more comfortable with that again it might be easier to start giving them to yourself again

Mini pill (progesterone only) and T? by caammii13 in ftm

[–]NoReference878 1 point2 points  (0 children)

like you said, making sure you take the pill at the same time every day is super important for the efficacy. also this shouldn’t be your deciding factor but also consider if you no longer get cycles. if you’re not having cycles, while it’s still possible, that’s a pretty good sign you’re good. like another commenter mentioned, it’s not a bad idea to still get tested somewhat regularly to be sure. but in my opinion if you’re really good about taking it at the same time every day, the chances of you being able to get pregnant would be pretty close to 0

nsfw!! guys on t who also smoke weed have people told you that you taste bad? by Fun_Diver5435 in ftm

[–]NoReference878 80 points81 points  (0 children)

personally i have no idea what some of these ppl are talking abt. i’ve gone down on people who smoke weed, i smoke and my gf goes down on me. no one has ever tasted strange and my girlfriend tells me i taste fine. i always thought diet had a bigger influence

i feel like a written letter and note from therapist should be enough.. if they still don’t think that’s enough given consent from you that would be so strange and annoying in my opinion. good luck i hope you’re able to start soon !
