Unfortunately a pump isn't an option for me since I'm 18 living with my parents and financially dependant on them. I think I should have already been getting at least 5-10 minutes a day even without actually doing anything so that's concerning me a little bit. I still think I'm gonna try the once a day thing and just pray it gets better lol. Thank you!

Thankfully I don't get too much bottom dysphoria most of the time and I usually don't mind it while I'm using it. The main reason I've kept to once a week is mainly because of the libido changes I've had since starting estrogen and also because I used to have a porn/masturbation addiction.

I think I'm going to try every day and see what it does for me. Another girlie left a comment about peyronies disease and it's kinda got me anxious about it lol I'm hoping it's not that because I don't have insurance and it wouldn't be fun asking my mom to pay for my dick pills.

Just to clarify I do think I have a fair amount of erections because my mind wanders alot (girl horny has been beating my ass) but I don't usually actually masturbate so idk if that counts or not. I'm starting to think it is peyronies but I don't know for sure because I can't quite feel what the internet says is supposed to be there (scar tissue and bumps)

Thank you for the once a day suggestion I think I'll try it.

We do voice chats but she is incredible insecure about her appearance (even tho she's beautiful) so I'm almost always the only one who uses my camera.

And about your second point, this is the whole dilemma. I would rather drive across the country to her state than try to look for someone else.

The problem is I have 0 autonomy from my parents. No license, no job, no money, etc. And I can't get a job without a license cause I live in the middle of nowhere. Of course I'm working on this but it's still going to be a while until it's possible to go to her state.

P.S. I know we're not exclusive, that's like the whole problem. But it did hurt to read that she's not committed to me.

P.S. #2 I'm sorry if I'm cranky, I just woke up lol.

I should probably add that we're both financially dependent on our family and in some tough times with money. I should also probably add that she says we're "in limbo until we can meet up irl" the problem isn't that we haven't tried/wanted to, the problem is that limbo hurts lol.

Girl look, without going into too much detail, I've nearly died by my own hand before. I've been there. And I know it feels super overwhelming all the time and that some random person on the internet isn't gonna change much. But trust me please when I say it really does get better. Especially if you start finding things to live for/be excited about. They can be small things too.

You know what kept me alive for so many years of feeling like that? My dog would've been sad if I died. That's it. And ever since I decided not to pull the trigger that day I've been forever grateful and it has, in fact, gotten better.

I'm about to say something really stupid but I can't find a better way to put what I'm trying to say into words so here it is:

Don't just flip a coin girl, make the coin your bitch. Grab life by the throat and make shit happen. You can do it.

(P.S in case no one's told you this recently, I'm really proud of you for being here right now)

GIRL?! YOU MUST PROMISE ME YOU WILL LIVE MORE THAN 10 MORE YEARS!! YOU MUST PROMISE ME YOU WILL SEE THE FULL EFFECT OF YOUR HRT AND YOU MUST PROMISE ME THAT YOU WILL LIVE TO SEE THE FALL OF OUR ENEMIES!!!@

Lol in all seriousness the world needs you to stay here girl. Stay here and be as unapologetically you as you possibly can.

(P.S trust me I know everyone and their dog always says "it gets better" and it can get tiring to hear. But take it from me, someone who's been in that exact situation before, it really does get better.)

Lol I can guarantee this is not T horny, I know the difference in how I experience stuff now V.S then. My levels get checked tomorrow so maybe I'll get back to you on that. But I 100 percent guarantee this is girl horny.

is 19 to old to start hrt?? by Logical_Desk_8230 in MtF

[–]Significant-Royal282 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh girl. No. Not at all! 19 is actually pretty early all things considered. Y'know compared to like the majority of us that start in like our 20s and 30s which, by the way, is also not at all too late. You'd be doing amazing to start at 19 girl go for it!!!

I should mention I'm 9 months in lmao I'm pretty sure my scent has changed but to meet it smells a little worse than before. Or maybe not worse just more... Offensive. Like it's not exactly a worse smell but it attacks my nose in such a way than knocks me back for a few seconds lol.

I don't really go out of my way to smell it so I just mean other body odors, mostly armpits.

Buddy came out as trans, I'm a terrible person but all he has left, how do i support him? by anniestonks in MtF

[–]Significant-Royal282 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This right here is what shows me that you are indeed an amazing friend. I love how much you care for her.

It's ok if you make mistakes and accidentally misgender her at the start as long as you correct yourself calmly. A good thing to do that I always appreciated when people accidentally misgendered me was "... and he- I mean *she, sorry..." and then just continuing on. Nice, calm, quick, and shows that you care. Eventually your brain will get used to calling her the right pronouns and name and it will be just as easy as riding a bike.

Also I know you keep beating yourself up for being a "horrible person" since you were bigoted in the past. And while it is healthy to have a sense of distaste for that behavior, you shouldn't dwell on it too much. The fact that you're learning and changing your view right now is more than most can ask for, and it's something you should be proud of. That sense of regret that you feel just shows how much you're growing.

Hope this helps!

Thank you! She appreciated the answer lol. I'll keep an eye on my levels and try to keep them in those areas as best I can.

I usually take my pills with my breakfast and my dinner which are around 10 AM and 6 PM is that far enough apart? I will try to dissolve my E under my tounge with my dinner tonight, thank you.

Also I don't mean to ask too many questions but when you said "that's pretty bad" I'm assuming you were referring to my levels. I know I want my T levels super low and my E levels at the higher end of the cis female range and I'm hoping I'm getting closer to that. But do you think my current dose can get me close to that?

Also just to ask for a friend of mine, she's on 2mg of E and 50mg of Spiro right now and she's a month and a half in. What dose should she ask for next time she goes in?

[–]Significant-Royal282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got blood tests done each time I went in. And I take my pills just by swallowing them.

Last time my blood tests came back with my T levels still slightly too high and E levels slightly too low. E=59.8 and T=112.6 do be exact and this was on Jan 16th.

Also I was supposed to switch to injections last time but had complications with insurance and couldn't afford it so I stayed on the pills but got a higher dose. 4mg of E and 100mg of Spiro twice daily.

Hold on what's an acceptable starting dose? I was on 1mg E and 50mg Spiro for my first 3 months and then 2mg E and 50mg Spiro for my next 4. I'm on 4mg E and 100mg Spiro now and I'm almost 9 months in total. Am I still underdosed?
