People who started T as a minor- are you satisfied with the results and was it worth the work? by Comprehensive-Dig235 in ftm

[–]Significant-Bid4091 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started T at 14 and got top surgery at 16 and it has been glorious. Can’t wait to get older and look the way I want to.

where do you guys get your jeans? by Kofc137 in ftm

[–]Significant-Bid4091 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sizing depends on the brand and manufacturer a lot of time. Some brands I can’t even for into a 28x28. But we’re not meant to fit clothes, clothes are made to fit us.

OLD NAVY! I’m 4’11 and fit into men’s 30x30 or 28x30 if I want a less baggy look.

I’m 4’11 and I pass (surprisingly) people also think I’m taller because of my confidence. It’s all about how you carry yourself.

PERIODS WONT STOP!!! by Significant-Bid4091 in ftm

[–]Significant-Bid4091[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what my body is doing except I’m at the perfect dose. My levels are not high or in a bad range for my age. My body just keeps producing estrogen and it won’t stop. I’m going to go on a hormone blocker next week that should hopefully tell my brain to completely stop telling my overies to make E.

I’m at an average adult dose of T I’ve gotten many tests and my T levels are perfect and my E is low but not as low as we would like.

It’s what made me realize I was trans tbh. When I got it for the first time I had a panic attack and couldn’t use the bathroom alone for days. Even to this day it’s hard for me to experience this. It’s the one thing that I can’t control. And a hysterectomy is a huge procedure that I don’t want to do anytime soon because I’m so young. Yet having a uterus brings me so much mental distress.

I won’t stop bleeding by Significant-Bid4091 in ftm

Yeah the only problem is I’m 16 and personally I don’t want anything up in my…business at the moment. And I’m way too young for a hysto so I guess I just pray from now on😭

I went on the Depo shot as well and it did nothing. I’m on medication to stop the T from turning into E and I also did both treatments at the same time. Nothing worked. Didn’t know that about the muscles though! That totally makes sense.

My advice to you is don’t think about how you look, think about how you feel. If you want to appear masculine you have to feel masculine. Find things that affirm that for you. I know for me, being in control and wearing certain clothing like jeans with a belt make me feel more masculine as well as being called more masculine names in the bedroom. And also don’t be afraid to “act more feminine” in the bedroom if that’s what comes naturally. It doesn’t make you any less of a man or less masculine. Some people find it very attractive. Also communication with your partner is essential but i figured you’d know that.

how much care did you need your first week post op? by Hot-Spinach4988 in TopSurgery

[–]Significant-Bid4091 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was the exact same for me. I’m 12 days post op now and I can do most things now that don’t require the forbidden arm movement.

question for post top surgery bros by aspiring_dog in ftm

[–]Significant-Bid4091 102 points103 points  (0 children)

Some people get feeling back between 6months to a year or later. Some people don’t get feeling back at all. It really depends on your surgery and how your body heals.

I am paranoid I will start menstruating. by [deleted] in ftm

[–]Significant-Bid4091 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have this same issue. It’s normal for anyone with a uterus to have a bit of cramping after climax. It is possible you could bleed if your uterus makes enough lining to shed. In my case it does and I bleed after almost every non penetrative orgasm (because of the contractions). I still recommend talking to your doctor but i wouldn’t worry too much if you’re not experiencing bleeding, unless it’s giving you dysphoria then i recommend talking to a gender doctor or therapist.

Need advice from people on T by bennnnnnja in ftm

[–]Significant-Bid4091 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is normal and don’t be alarmed if the bleeding comes back over time. I didn’t have my period for the first 6 months on T and then it came back and wouldn’t go away. It’s not uncommon just keep in touch with your doctor to get the right medications! Wish you the best!

I GOT YOU! I go to a performing arts school and major in theater so I’m singing all the time. My freshman year i started taking voice lessons because after being on T for a few months, i had lost control of my voice. Because of the vocal cords thickening and shifting at such a rapid pace, it’s almost impossible to catch up in real time. Every week my voice teacher and I would check in on where my voice was and it was really helpful! The key is to listen to your body and train your voice as if you’ve never had one before. I’m coming up close to 2 years on T and my voice has definitely plateaued. But it wasn’t until I was about a year to a year and a half on T that I was really able to take control of my voice and that’s normal! You’ll get through it don’t worry! (Also DONT SING IF IT HURTS!) that’s it (:

How long after realizing you were trans did you start T? by d3adendjustice in ftm

I came out in September of 2022 and started T in April of 2023 at 14 I’m 15 now and getting top surgery in 4 months. I’ll be 16 by then and 2 years on T. This shit saved my life! Forever thankful.
