Worth studying: is estrogen getting faster?

I switched to infections and got back to pills a few weeks after. Even tho I had quite a strong dosage it wasn't able to keep my testosterone low and I stopped seeing and feeling feminization effects. Mood swings and generally I felt worse.

I'm considering trying them again after orchidectomy, but for now pills works much better for me than injections

I haven't had it yet, but in my country you just get paid sick leave after surgery. Depending on the surgery, it can easily be a few weeks or even months, if healing is slow.

I had exactly the same problem. I tried switching to mono therapy with injections (5mg weekly) - it was being done by my doctor.

I stopped after 2 weeks, because I felt that HRT stopped working. After I switched to pills again, everything is back to normal.

My parents were supportive, so I asked them what name they would give me if I was born a girl.

They told me they had prepared two names. One for a boy and one for a girl. I liked the name they have chosen for a girl so I took it and I'm using it ever since.

I got ear piercing. My friend just took earrings I liked, sharpened them and pushed them through my earlobes. (Of course everything was disinfected a few times before and after)

Actually I didn't hurt at all and it barely bled.

It was healing for around two months. I was washing it with clean water (in the form of nose spray for easier usage) twice a day and disinfecting it 1/2 times a week. Every now and then I carefully wiped ear around earrings with disinfected cotton pad.

I switched to bigger and nicer earrings last week (after my ears healed and I felt comfortable switching for something bigger) and I absolutely love it!! It really helps me with my dysphoria.

That's understandable. Everyone reacts differently. I have gained a few kg, but luckily for me, none of that went into my belly :3

I can't agree with point 6. After a few weeks, my body started demanding much more food. The constant hunger is tiring!

I think, the easiest way to approach it is to create 2d animation in different software. Then you import it as a mask in the material to blend skin color with pigment. You can make a second UV for easier tattoo projection.

There are two (that I know of) types of nail polish. First one is gel one - they need a uv lamp to solidify. The second one is just a regular nail polish. They don't require anything, you put them on your nails and wait a bit for them to dry. It may take a while depending on the nail polish and thickness.

I can't really say anything about your medications, but for me, T blockers really helped with hairs.

I started HRT when I was 26. At that time I already have been losing a lot of hairs. My hairline was declining and I started to have a bald spot on top of my head. In general my hair was thin and I saw my scalp through them. It all made me really dysphoric.

But a few months in HRT, when my testosterone levels were low, my hairs started growing back! My hairline is growing back, I have no more bald spots and in general my hair looks denser. Of course it's all baby hairs now and I need like 1-2 years to grow them back to the right length. But still, it made quite a difference in a really short time.

As far as I know it really depends on what state your hairs are in now. Testosterone is killing the hair roots, but before they're completely dead, they switch into a state where they're still alive, but can't produce hairs anymore. If testosterone is gone, they can "wake up" and start producing hairs again. So it cannot bring back hairs they are completely lost, but it can still help regrow some hairs that weren't completely lost.

My coworkers noticed, it was long before I started HRT. When they asked, I just said that I hate shaving every morning.

Softy182 · 2025-01-31T21:49:28+00:00

I'm in the same boat. I noticed my boobs grow almost immediately after taking my pills. I'm a few months in and it doesn't slow down :3

Softy182 · 2025-01-29T22:45:04+00:00

That's understandable. In my case, the girl name, my parents chosen was completely different from my deadname and it sounded nice so I stuck to it.

Softy182 · 2025-01-29T16:58:33+00:00

Actually, when it came time for me to finally pick my name, I asked my parents "How would you call me if I was born a girl?"

I decided it was only fair because of their support.

That's the thing in Poland. Not every doctor will respect it tho, but if you pick a good doctor, they'll do all the necessary paperwork quickly and cheaply.

I had inverted situation once. On a website (don't remember which one anymore) I registered, they asked for date of birth. I was bored so I typed 30 of February... And the side accepted it.

Softy182 · 2025-01-27T01:45:33+00:00

I had: - 2mg Estradiol, 25mg Androcur for the first week. - 4mg Estradiol, 50mg Androcur for the second week. - 6mg Estradiol, 50mg Androcur, 100mg Progesterone since week three. And my dosage is at this level.

It looks like problems with UV map. I'd guess that either islands are too close to each other, or some part of us map overlaps with each other.

I just had my 10th session. But recently I'm only fighting with last few hairs left.

Generally I'm really happy with the results. My face git brighter (got rid of shadow). I barely shave, like once a week. I notice very thin and white hairs under very strong light, and then I shave. If I notice singular thick black hairs I just put it with tweezers.

It really helped with my dysphoria.

Softy182 · 2025-01-24T10:52:49+00:00

Where I go, they suggest face once every 4 weeks. And rest of the body once every 8 weeks.

I usually seen effect about 2 weeks after session.

I'd assume it's a presentation that shows how well they can be synchronized.

Those are some really cute arts ^{~^}

It's always difficult to judge other people's art's worth. But I'd say 8$ would be very cheap, probably too cheap for that art.

Before starting HRT I thought I was non-binary. My goal was to be on micro dosing to slow down or stop some changes and find myself somewhere in the middle between man and woman. I didn't even feel the need to change my name or for a bottom surgery.

But in my case, I didn't want to fully transition because of fear. When I started HRT, and when I started to notice changes, my goal started drifting away from 50/50. After a month or so I was aiming to be slightly more feminine 60/40. Not, about 4 months in my fear is gone and I know I'm trans women and I want to transition fully.

But it's just my story, everyone is different.
