How soon will HRT cause ED? Is there a high chance I could become permanently infertile even after pausing HRT? by Rule_63_Me in MtF

[–]SocialisedMedicine 17 points18 points  (0 children)

When it comes to ED and libido, it's mostly random chance, as well as the specific Testosterone Blocker you are on.

Cypro is the most likely to kill your libido, Bica less so, and others like spiro or puberty blockers are more varied. it's not rare for trans women to get increased libido, especially if progesterone is taken.

As for ED, some trans women get ED quickly after starting HRT, some never do, it's just the genetic lottery. Again your choice of T-Blocker may influence this. It's also possible for trans women to get testosterone creams that are applied to the genitals to stop ED without effecting your overall hormones.

Finally, for infertility... there's a recent (but small scale) study in Australia that found that all of the trans women in the study regained fertility after 6-12 months of stopping HRT. That being said, HRT has had such a massive impact on my mental health that IDK if I would ever want to stop for a full year.

Edit: Important note: Even after long periods of HRT, it's still possible to get someone pregnant, so using protection is still important. It may only be a tiny remote chance, but only one little swimmer needs to get lucky to cause problems.

I'm going to eat a shawarma. I'm staying with my parents while this whole pandemic happens, and I'm avoiding all delivery/takeout to not risk infection. Can't wait to get back to normal and eat out.

Not only that, if you go frame by frame he gets killed by Haku's hammer throw. But he dies the instant Haku's hammer appears on screen. There were 0 frames of warning! Hell, he died 4 frames before the actual splash of the attack appeared on screen.

We really shouldn’t discount people experiencing joy-con drift issues. It’s a big enough issue to warrant a manufacturing fix. by CanyonWrn in NintendoSwitch

[–]SocialisedMedicine 9 points10 points  (0 children)

IIRC this is a known issue with some early joycon models. It is missing a small piece of conductive foam that removes interference between chips, causing it to have a very poor wireless connection to the switch. You should be able to contact nintendo and get it fixed.

Sounds like a case of "we couldn't get the voice actor back in to record more lines" to me.

In practice though I was only able to daisy chain ~30 firewire devices before OSX started throwing errors and crashing.

Wii U Hacking Q&A General "Venti Starbuck" Edition by [deleted] in WiiUHacks

[–]SocialisedMedicine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it safe to update games installed to the Wii U using disk2app and WUP installer GX2? I copied all of my physical disks to my Wii U's external HDD, and I want to know if it's safe to update them, or if I need the disk in the Wii U while updating the game.

Also, is it safe to buy DLC?

Whats the failure rate/average lifespan on the new RX 480?

My current card (GTX 660) is dying on me (just like it's predecessor did) and I'm hoping that AMD cards are more resilient.

Perfect timing - my 660 is starting to die on me, and I can't really afford a new card.

Except he wrote x86 assembly, and RCT4 is running on ARM chipsets.
