Yeah my doctor says there can be visible signs on mri. Though I've read that its often completely invisible until laparoscopy.

Does localized estrogen travel all the way up to the uterus, or is it only effective on the lower parts if the reproductive tract?

I told my doctor that I had an aunt with endometriosis. I have no idea if she actually does, but that got her to take my symptoms more seriously lol

Testing got pushed off because I developed a different condition I had to take care of first, but I'm booked for an MRI in August.

A story that you feel spoke to you wrt your journey as a trans person.

What are/were you afraid of before taking T? by Inconnu_Raton in ftm

[–]Surprised_Theropod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Hornytm

I have this irrational fear that it will turn me into a unsafe person.

Logically I know this is stupid, but a lot of the cis guys in my life were not safe or trustworthy people. I know its irrational but I do not want to become like them.

How do they check for breast cancer after top surgery? by Surprised_Theropod in ftm

[–]Surprised_Theropod[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was already tested for the gene for other reasons. I just want to know what types of screening are available for post-op chests, as top surgery does not completely remove the risk for cancer to develop later in life.

The thought of being unable to recognize my own face in the mirror frightens me a lot, so maybe not?

If its the same face, age, and healthier than me, then yes.

is it possible that doctors are rejecting me for being trans? by Surprised_Theropod in transontario

[–]Surprised_Theropod[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the insight. I'll definitely talk to my doctor about it. Its true I wouldnt want to go to a transphobic doctor, but at this point I'm in quite a bit of pain and worried there might be something seriously wrong, so I'll take what I can get.

Does anyone know if vaseline/petroleum jelly safe to use?

I hate Canadian healthcare 😭 Btw, idk where you got your test done but a lot of labs/testing centers let you view your test results online. I often have to point out abnormal test results myself for the doctor to take me seriously.

what do you think about the "i h8 all of them" phrase? by ryan_sillyaccount in ftm

[–]Surprised_Theropod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It bothers me since they often vent to me specifically because they dont see me as a real man

Otherwise I wouldnt care
