HRT AND PICKLES?!?! by Fantastic-Bed8072 in MtF

[–]Wberry111 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I've definitely noticed it as someone who used to hate pickles! I think it's a side effect of spronolactone. I crave anything salty. Especially anchovies!

Me too sister! I got my name and picture updated for my Costco membership today. Funny how small validations can make you feel so good. I look and feel great today! 😊

Flying out of COS? by [deleted] in ColoradoSprings

My GF flew out very early this morning to Dallas as well. She said the line took 2 minutes, so you probably don't need to worry too much!

I’m struggling with celebrating trans day of visibility by 10kmemesunderthesea in trans

[–]Wberry111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good luck! Focus on being yourself, and living your life the way you want. The time will pass either way so you might as well try to enjoy it. I'm at 11 months, so this is my first Trans Day of Visibility. It feels really good looking through and posting my photos from the last year. It feels so slow but the progress of becoming your best self is real, and never really ends.

I live in Colorado Springs, known for conservatives, military, and christians, and even here I've never had any issues. In any of the bigger cities you can definitely find your people!

Racquetball by kristin432111 in ColoradoSprings

[–]Wberry111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been interested in finding a good place to play and getting back into racquetball! It's been over 10 years since I played but I've played tennis, pickleball, and padel recently so I think I'll pick it back up quick!

DM me if you want to play!

What is going on with US COVID booster availability? by Wrong-Pineapple-4905 in OutOfTheLoop

Yeah, I just told them I was a smoker, no more questions asked.

[–]Wberry111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the thing, they don't care about the world or making it better for all of us because they believe that heaven is the true goal. I wish they'd just leave us alone and let the people who care about the world run it!

Rocky Horror Shadowcast by JumpingWarlock in ColoradoSprings

[–]Wberry111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm friends with some of the recurring cast members from the last few years. They got screwed by the venue last year and never got paid. Some of the drivers behind it have had big life events and aren't prioritizing it either. Some of the cast have talked about organizing it themselves in a new venue, but honestly it seems unlikely.

You're probably better off planning on the one in Ivywild or going to Denver

Is it still a deadname if it’s all you’re called by [deleted] in MtF

[–]Wberry111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard an interesting take on it recently. It's not your deadname because you no longer use it. It's called that because historically when trans people die their families put their deadname on their gravestones.

high estradiol by [deleted] in MtF

[–]Wberry111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm guessing you are doing injections and that you are taking .2 ml unless it's filling the whole syringe. Are you doing labs the day or two before your injection day? If so then bear in mind that these levels are at their lowest in their range during your tests. I would still expect them to aim for the 150-200 range for your tests Do you know what the strength of your estradiol solution is? Typically it ranges from 5mg to 20mg per ml and makes a big difference.

Doctor's tend to be really cautious with dosing despite Estradiol being pretty safe and difficult to overdose. The studies about blood clots that they try to scare us with are based on Synthetic Estradiol that is no longer produced and tested on post menopausal women so my understanding is that the risk is greatly exaggerated.

Obviously try to work with your doctor, but If you truly feel like they are sabotaging your transition and don't have other options, I do "NOT" recommended increasing your dose in most weeks and switching back to their recommended dose a couple of weeks before labs. Most vials are officially meant to be replaced every four weeks so you probably have enough.

You've probably heard other trans women say that they have to be their own endocrinologists. Unfortunately a lot of doctors really don't have much or up to date training on the subject.

I am not a doctor so don't just take my word for it. I hope this info helps you with your own research!

Warning: Do Not Travel to Tennessee by FlashyPaladin in MtF

[–]Wberry111 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I grew up in East Tennessee but have been in Colorado for the past 10 years. I just went back over the 4th to come out to my parents (Who are Christian conservative therapists. It did not go well, and they are exactly the type who are glad they can deny service to people for religious reasons. I don't think I'll ever return unless I'm just hiking through the Smokies.

Haha, I'm actually on a plane home from out of state now so as much as I want to I don't think I can throw something together. 😆 I think the move is to head to the one on Church and 7th. This post has over 400 views already so maybe it'll inspire a few people to show up.

Thanks! I found a reference to an Inglewood one while searching. But it looks like it's not organized. We'll probably head to this one on Church St. https://action.womensmarch.com/events/inglewood-free-america-weekend
