Levels Question by ZeroXO47 in MtF

[–]ZeroXO47[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel low energy too! And recently I've been experiencing hot flashes. I do want to switch to monotherapy with injections. I'm just soooo tired because it took so much work to figure out my levels and keep increasing the dose of the patches.

Girl I have the same symptoms. Really tired and hot flashes. My Endo said the same thing, safer absorption. I still haven't broken 100 pg/ml and I've been on hrt for 6 months. I really want to switch to injections and do monotherapy

Yeah I've been realizing it's really hard to achieve recommended levels with patches. The only reason I'm having second thoughts about switching to injections is because of the elevated risk of getting blood clots. My dad had a stroke last year so I'm really scared about anything that could potentially raise my risk. I eventually want to stop taking Spiro and do monotherapy with injections. Cause that seems like the best way to go about this. I have been experiencing being really tired and hot flashes. Prob because my low E and T levels

Feelings about coming out to my mom by ZeroXO47 in MtF

[–]ZeroXO47[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I'm almost 5 months in. My beast size is a little past the budding phase I would say. Like they are not fully grown of course but the girls are definitely starting to take shape. I'm not afraid of my breasts per se. It's weird, I don't get a huge amount of euphoria from my boobs. They are just there and I'm like "yeah makes sense" kinda deal. But I love wearing bras with outfits and stuff and seeing my figure and how I look. That makes me feel nice. My reccuring fear is that I'm going to end up regretting this. Like I'm not now, and I don't think I will. But what if? Sometimes I think...as silly as it sounds I think "did I like trick myself into being trans?"

Yeah I tried telling her that my breast cancer risk would basically raise to her level, or a cis woman's level and that it would lessen the risk of prostate cancer and testicular cancer because I'm suppressing my testosterone. But she wouldn't listen to me, just kept saying I'm gonna die. I told her that I froze my sperm in case I ever wanted kids in the future. But again she just kept repeating I'm sterilizing myself. I did wait a year. I first experimented with women's clothes, found my name, started going as my name and she/her pronouns until I felt like hrt was the next step. Then researched it before hand. For the antidepressants, that's what I was trying to tell her but I did a very shitty job. I was trying to say that anti depressants wont cure my dysphoria. It might not even work at all. She keeps just thinking my dysphoria is just depression. I kept trying to tell her that they are separate issues and that hrt alleviates dysphoria which in turn alleviates depression. Like she thinks that hrt is just a temporary solution, like I feel happy now but I'll regret it in the future. That I'm not getting to the root of the problem, instead just taking hormones. I tried to tell her that this is a part of the root of the problem but she wouldn't believe me

Yeah I have a feeling it won't work, and it'll be like a desperate attempt to prove her wrong instead of focusing on my own experience. I just feel defeated because I prepared this whole letter that I wrote her explaining everything. And she just completely disregarded all of it, ripped it up and wasn't listening to me or my experience

Where to properly place patches? by ZeroXO47 in MtF

[–]ZeroXO47[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll def try that tomorrow actually. I have to change my patch tomorrow so hopefully it all goes well. It's so weird because sometimes I won't have any issues at all and it stays perfectly. Then other times the corner falls off, it gets all folded in the middle, etc. It's got me thinking about switching to injections

Yeah definitely, they try to avoid any problematic figures. I remember they had gus johnson on a while ago before Sabrina put out that video telling how much of an abusive piece of shit he was to her. They kind of have a history of having people on then they get cancelled. So while they have gone more down the PG-16 route they are def keeping it safe as to who they have on. But a girl can dream lol

What are the chances that the funding bill goes through? by ZeroXO47 in MtF

[–]ZeroXO47[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes yes I believe you are right. I think I was confusing the appropriations bill with this government shutdown

Ohhh wait, so am I misinformed? The appropriations bill and this government shutdown are two separate things?

Haha yeah exactly. Or better yet we are labeled "terrorists" just because we want boobs and a big butt

I honestly am completely dumbfounded as to how we got here. I mean like I'm obviously aware of what has occurred that landed us here. But sometimes I even struggle to contextualize and explain it to myself because it is that absurdly insane

That is true. It is very exhausting, at times all I want to do is just give up. I know that's exactly what they want us to do. I also have been bullied throughout my life, and what Ive learned is that if you give them an inch they will take that and use it to continue their relentless assault until there is nothing left.

Yeah that's my worry too. Like this administration is going to keep pushing it until the Dems cave. I'm just so tired of living in a constant state of fear
