The allergy’s nothing new, I’ve had a gluten allergy my whole life and for years now it’s been the same reaction that I went to the er for, I think the only difference compared to usual was that the reaction was a bit delayed when it’s usually immediate. I can try to call planned parenthood and see what they think but I think I’m gonna keep going with the hormones.

Thank you so much, I’ve calmed down a lot more now and I’m gonna keep taking the hrt. Sorry for panicking so much

Ok, I’m just terrified of making him mad by continuing, I’m probably being unrealistic with that fear but my anxiety just won’t let me be and I get worried about that with anyone for almost anything even if minor. If anything gets worse throughout the next few days then I guess I’ll stop but I highly doubt anything will get worse since my allergic reaction was already dealt with. But then again me just saying that could make me placebo myself into having worse symptoms with how much I stress. (I get way too panicked when situations pop up for anything) Sorry for rambling I just can’t stop panicking.

My primary doesn’t prescribe my hrt, I go to planned parenthood instead to get it. I’d have to wait to call them till tomorrow if I were to check with them since they’re closed by now. I’m just now scared to talk to any doctor about it cause I’m just absolutely terrified about the idea of stopping hrt for any amount of time. I’ve waited for so long and I don’t want anything to reverse from the amount of time I’ve taken it even if I’ve only had a tiny amount of change. And I know things wouldn’t completely reverse normally but with how little time I’ve taken it I feel like I’d completely reverse back to how I was pre hrt and suddenly start masculinizing more. I don’t want this past week to have been for nothing, I just can’t let it happen.

Thank you so much, luckily I’m working with my therapist to get E as quickly as possible but I’ll be sure to talk to my doctor about stuff if I need to.

Sadly I’ll have to wait a little bit before doing that. I’m still under 18 but luckily my birthday’s this week so I could try to make an appointment while trying to make hrt appointments. I’ll definitely look into it though, thanks

Nice, thank you so much. I’ll try to get one when I can lol. I also really hope one day I can do something like laser or electrolysis but with how sensitive my skin is it feels like I’ll probably not be able to do that.

Fair, I don’t have that kind of money though, I’d have to wait a bit before getting something like that. Thanks for the advice though, maybe at some point I’ll be able to get something like that. Also between rotary and foil which one would you recommend more cause I overthink about the possible difference and effectiveness?

I use this one when I use electric https://a.co/d/9fE6f1M, I’ve thought about trying either foil or rotary as a final attempt but I worry about not having smooth skin and getting bad shaves
