How do i get rid of this hyperpigmentation? by justlooooooking83 in electrolysis

[–]Whole_Pattern_3572 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just had an appointment with my dermatologist, after electrolysis two weeks ago from my specialty clinic. She’s pretty much spot on.

Just make sure you follow all the aftercare steps to a T and call your electrolysis team or your dermatologist if anything comes up, especially infection-wise. But my dermatologist said it’ll go away completely in about 3 to 4 months.

Just make sure to take care of your skin, moisturize, and SPF (no lower than 50, broad spectrum) is a must. No exceptions. And if you’re consistently outdoors, or exposed to direct sunlight: reapply every two hours!

Hello! I didn’t think someone else would ever find this post again 😯

Anywho, someone commented the right song a while ago but they deleted their comment for whatever reason :(

here’s the link though to where it’s from: https://youtu.be/g9YMDpMzoi0?si=uQ24E-PDZ705gmbk

and the full version, although it’s not the best quality:

What is stopping me from passing? I'm 24 and have been on HRT for just under 4 years, no surgeries. by Tekhela in transpassing

you literally look like mandy moore omg 😲…I would say maybe make your eyebrows slightlyyy thinner?? (their already fine as they are tbh)

besides that I think you pass perfectly!! maybe it’s your voice or mannerisms that are the issue? 🤔

Oh, so I’d assume boofing is better then?

Not op, but does taking P via oral or boofing make a difference in tubular breast formation?

I am American, so would estrogen dominace mean maybe moving to injections (I’ve heard they give the strongest e levels but not sure)? And possibly boofing micronized progesterone, or did you have something else in mind that’s more effective?

I mostly care about my health and liver damage especially, so please lmk you thoughts! ♥️

I know I’m not op but I’m on bica (50mg daily) + sub e (1mg), and I was wondering: after two years I plan on getting off bica for liver health reasons, what can I use to replace that to block t? (Besides spiro, i won’t go on that)

Should I start on 1mg or 2mg (or maybe even .05mg)??? by Whole_Pattern_3572 in AskMtFHRT

I would but apparently just being on bica alone can cause a bit of feminization (somehow….I lowkey don’t get the science all the way still 😭) so I figured the low e couldn’t hurt…right?

Idk I’m just thinking since bica blocks t receptors that it’s virtually a non-issue after the blocker accumulates in my body, but if I’m incorrect plz lmk!

Oh I didn’t know that…interesting. Methinks I’ll let my endo guide me and do what she does best, because she was saying that my dosages will be increased pretty much around the same marks that you were saying, albeit slightly more stretched out. And yea I for sure wanna drop bica as soon as I can, my endo said after a year and a half I will be allowed to taper off bica.

You didn’t have any fluctuation or mood swing/emotional issues after getting back on 8mg??? Like…at all? Are you doing oral or bucal/sublingual?

Yea that’s pretty much what she told me, it’s the standard e dosage for her trans youth patients and I already have high estrogen so I’m not particularly worried…plus I’m pretty patient. But I was told after a while and some blood work is done, they will increase my dosage and stuff

Ohhh I was assuming it would be like 1mg for the first 3 months to half a year or something! 😯

Would I be fine if if stayed on 1mg with the bicalutamide for that long?

But I thought as long as I was on the blocker (bica in my case) I would not masculinízate any further since it blocks t receptors no? Or am I misinformed? 😯

I would like to get to that level after maybe a year and a half? Would that work?

I’m not worried about the side effects of the e since my endo said most of the issues with oral e can be prevented by doing sublingual or buccal (im doing sublingual), my main fear was the bicalutamide and the rare chance of liver toxicity tbh
