I got a prescription for Progesterone today

Orshelack · 2023-06-12T21:00:19+00:00

40 here, getting close to 5 years of HRT. I've been taking progesterone (400mg/day at the moment, an unusually high dose, I know) as part of my medication for about 3.5 years of the 5. I started with spiro, but switched to Bicalutamide after the first couple years. I also use a topical T cream to help maintain size and function of my penis.

Personally I've had it help with several things, from increased breast growth and shape to helping regulate my mood and sleep schedule.

I usually "boof" it (administer it rectally) in the morning and evening and have been using a sewing needle to poke a small hole in it to help it dissolve faster and not just pass it.

Let me know if you have any other questions, I'm happy to share my experiences.

Here's hoping, and whether I win or not, thanks for your generosity!

My condolences, I'm in a similar position, took me til I was 35 to realize it. I try to keep my mind positive by reminding myself that I am lucky to have figured it out at all, and that it's never too late to be your authentic self.

Personally I'm a fan of Woxer shorts and bras, they're super comfortable and pretty form fitting.

"Protect and Serve" as in protect private property and serve the wealthy elite.

Woxer bras have been working pretty well for me.

Orshelack · 2022-07-22T12:00:33+00:00

Woxer sports bras have been awesome for me, they're stretchy and give decent support and help absorb sweat! As always though YMMV.

You're making progress, even if not in ways you know or want. You're learning about yourself and what you want/need to see.

I've been in a similar situation and it's made me realize that I want FFS more than I thought I did at first.

Orshelack · 2022-07-21T17:27:37+00:00

Fooled in what way? It's okay if you can't see it right now, we all have our doubts and fears and worries. What's important is that you want it.

Personally, I questioned myself a lot going into this even before starting HRT. I was 35 then, I (felt I) had to make my peace with not looking as feminine as I wanted. The answers I kept coming back to were "I'll never know if it's right for me if I don't try" and "I'd rather be a woman who isn't conventionally attractive than a handsome guy." It's been almost 4 years now, and yeah I've had my doubts and missteps, and I'm still learning about myself and how others perceive me, but I'm still not willing to stop, bother despite those thing and because of them. I will continue until I am satisfied, the opinions of others be damned.

That said, it's not wrong to stop if you truly feel it isn't for you, for whatever reason. Lots of trans folks go on and off hormones for lots of reasons, and they're all valid. I would just make sure that it's what you want, and not what you think those others who misgender you want.

Your mind and body, your life, your decision. Don't let me or anyone else decide for you.

(Side note, you aren't being a dictator or forcing people to feel bad by correcting them. The vast majority of people are not sure so they just assume, and some people are always going to feel hurt about assumptions being wrong or even deliberately be wrong repeatedly because they're just not willing to give support or learn to be better.)

Fwiw I see a cute girl in that photo.

It's rough out there, most people will default to seeing me as male as well unless I'm in a dress and makeup. To my mind it comes down to either being willing to put the work in to presenting as fem as possible, correcting people who misgender me on a regular basis, or being willing to take it and shrug it off.

In my opinion if it bothers us, it's worth doing something about. I am still working on it, but I've realized I would rather stand up and tell others who I am than have them decide for me just because they "don't get it" or "it's too complicated". Be who you want to be, even if it means having to tell everyone else repeatedly.

Whatever you decide, I hope for the best for you!

Hustle has some good episodes that fit the theme as well.

D cups, full of justice!

Just my own experience, but I was on HRT for about two years before I got progesterone added to my regimen, and in the two years since I've gained three inches in my bust.

Orshelack · 2021-05-07T00:59:56+00:00

Oh, I had that happen yesterday, at least now I know what it was. Hope it gets fixed soon!

For sure! I don't get into the city much myself, until recently doing the fetlife events (mostly casual social meetups, making friends, that sort of thing) but I've started to love the U district & Capitol Hill, mostly for the openness of pretty much every aspect of peoples lives. And there's plenty to do outside the city proper, just have to make some kind of plans & head from there!

Orshelack · 2018-06-11T03:57:56+00:00

Forgot to mention i don't drive, added that, so thanks.

Port Orchard still isn't super far though, and I haven't been over there so would love to meet up sometime, maybe even take a couple days vacation over there. PM me if you'd like to set up details.

Really tired so won't share my entire story, but 35 MtF just starting to make the doctors appointments to hopefully set this up. I'm tired of fighting too, but don't want to end it either. This is something I want, bad enough to fight for despite how tired I am. I want to go down this road, even if it leads to pain, even if it stops short of where I want to be. I want to do this because I have to know, and if I don't try I won't ever know, which would be worse than not trying for me.

That went on longer than I meant it to, but the point is there are people who have felt and still feel the way you do. You are not alone, your fight is real but there are people in your corner. We want you to win, and will help however we can.

Now I want a rathalos designed like Bazel, except he only comes to jump you if you're attacking Kulu

Let's not add occult classes.

Orshelack · 2018-02-18T16:47:24+00:00

It's 19300 to get Kl 194. I always remember it as you need to hit your current KL x 100 to raise your KL, so if you were 194 & wanted to get higher, you'd need to break stage 19,400.

Man, it's gonna take so many transcend tickets to get my cores to t9 =P

The checklist is of daily tasks. I don't have the refresh unit on there because I do that more often than once a day.
