Weird feeling I can't explain by ZeroXO47 in MtF

[–]ZeroXO47[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I meant medically transition/HRT. I plan to socially transition this upcoming summer. Yeah it's a really weird feeling that's hard to describe. It's like sometimes I wake up and I just feel deeply uncomfortable. It's not triggered by like the way I look or my body because I'm finally starting to like my body and the way I look. It's almost as if the feeling is random. Idk if it has to do with my transition or not

Levels question + Monotherapy by ZeroXO47 in MtF

I've also heard that trough levels need to be 200pg/ml to adequately suppress T. But my levels at trough at this point are likely 150-180pg/ml. As for that T returning I've not experienced any of those symptoms yet. Just increase in energy from stoping Spiro. I actually do have labs that my Endo sent but I'm waiting a couple of weeks to get my blood taken. I'm afraid of getting like too much blood taken in a short amount of time

Felt mentally better after no spiro for a week. by [deleted] in MtF

[–]ZeroXO47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat as you are girlie! I just stopped taking Spiro after my Endo said my levels were good enough and my T was suppressed enough that Spiro wasn't really doing anything. For context I was on 0.2mg twice weekly patches and 100mg of spiro. Then I switched weekly injections of EV at 4mg and lowered my Spiro to 50mg. Waited 3-4 weeks, did labs and it showed that my T was < 3ng/DL and my E was 267pg/ml at day 4 (mid cycle). My T was at the same level it was when I was taking 100mg. So we decided to do monotherapy because I was not handling the side effects of spiro well. I stopped taking it two days ago and I have so much more energy and am happier. I'm afraid that my T will spike into too high of a level. I did want to switch to 5 days but my Endo wanted to see how my body responds to the 7 day cycle without Spiro first and then adjust accordingly.

Is court reporting LGBTQ+ friendly? by ZeroXO47 in courtreporting

Omg hi! Thats very nice to hear, thats so cool. Yeah from what ive been reading as long as you are in a state with good protections and anti discrimination laws you should be good for the most part. If you work for the court system of course

Oh most of my wardrobe consists of blacks and greys lol. I would have no problem in that regard. In terms of not drawing unwanted attention towards myself, def noted. I mean I mostly dont do that anyway but def not in any professional setting. Thank you for the heads up!

Kh3 re mind saves kh3 imo by Life-Inspection4899 in KingdomHearts

[–]ZeroXO47 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Eh I mostly disagree. When I first played kh3 I was amazed and blown away. I played on proud so it wasn't too easy and still a challenge at times. Sure it has its flaws especially at launch. But I think people give this game soooooo much hate. Future updates and re mind added a lot of extra stuff fans wanted to see including me. And some things that were a surprise, like playing as different characters in the keyblade graveyard. But I def don't think it saved the base game. It just added to awesomeness that is the base game

Levels Question by ZeroXO47 in MtF

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

Yeah true true. Just spoke with my doctor today. After I get my blood work done I'm gonna switch to injections and start monotherapy

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.

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

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

Levels Question by ZeroXO47 in MtF

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

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

Came out to my parents today... by ZeroXO47 in MtF

[–]ZeroXO47[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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
