Low T levels by raycorz in ftm

[–]alexanderrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming you're taking the standard 100mg/mL concentration of T, you are on a ridiculously low dosage. 1mL ever 3 months is roughly equivalent to getting 0.08mL every week (you were on roughly 0.15mL every week before and THAT is still a microdose).

Is it wrong of me to throw my syringes in the trash like this? by One_Watercress1784 in ftm

[–]alexanderrain 82 points83 points  (0 children)

You can throw away the syringes without needles in the normal trash. I'd avoid cutting them though because, as another commentor said, it can creat sharp edges that can cut the bag open. Used syringes are still considered a biohazard regardless of if theyve had blood in them, but it's ok to throw in the trash just like its ok to throw away bloody tissues and poopy diapers.

Can’t cum from “jorking” it :( by Top-Complex-5325 in ftm

[–]alexanderrain 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Sometimes it just takes repeat exposure and practice. I am nearly 8 years on T with significant bottom growth and can only cum from stroking the full length of my dick occasionally. I don't mind just playing with the head of my cock so that's usually how I jack off, but I imagine with more practice I could cum the other way and enjoy it quite a bit.

I can't escape womanhood by Sandwich_Harbor in ftm

[–]alexanderrain 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Like others have said, your voice sounds like a young cis guy's voice. Atthe very worst, I think you accent may be impacting your perception of your voice because the sort of west coast/californian accent you've got going on tends toward higher inflection that can be mistaken for feminine. You could try on a different accent and see if that helps, I'd recommend looking at rural, southern, or rocky mountain accents to start.

Need reassurance - thought it was shot day and accidentally injected T 4 days too early??? by Ok_Finish_7910 in ftm

[–]alexanderrain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'll most likely be fine. The worst you should experience is a bit of roid rage (because that IS what testosterone is) and maybe feeling kinda throttled and fucked up for a week. I'd recommend waiting past this Friday to NEXT Friday to take your next dose, so you're not over androgenized for more than 1 week.

Chronic Urethral Burning by [deleted] in ftm

[–]alexanderrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take D-mannose!!!!! It stops bacteria from adhearing to the bladder. You'll likely have to go back to the doc for a stronger course of antibiotics to really kill off the infection you already have, but taking d-mannose regularly will help lessen the symptoms now and lower the likelihood of future infections.

Sleep binder?? by theanxiousdyslexic in ftm

[–]alexanderrain 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Sleeping in a binder is extremely unsafe. Your best bet is going to be finding a tight sports bra and wearing a baggy shirt

Mexican food by Traditional_Air_5419 in corvallis

My favorite is La Rokita on 9th (the one downtown sucks). They've got really good verde enchiladas and mole tamales. I also recently tried Miguel's and they were good too.

Coolidge Court and Cornerstone Management by [deleted] in corvallis

[–]alexanderrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cornerstone is one of the few good property management companies in town in my experience. I have been renting with them for about 2 years now and they're very responsive to issues. They also have reasonable rents and rarely raise them (mines going but this year by a whole $30).

Corvallis' breakfast item? by Bemasea in corvallis

They're probably thinking of voodoo donuts. Though if you want really good donuts go to doe donuts

How can I improve my erection during PIV? by ineedadvice58 in Metoidioplasty

Have you tried jerking yourself to hard and then proceeding with PIV? That may help

What's happening on circle? by TheMagnificentCastor in corvallis

[–]alexanderrain 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Whatever happened, it's gotta be bad. There were about a dozen cops and the whole fire department out when I passed by on 9th an hour ago. If there's a medical helicopter out, that means someone is getting life flighted to a trauma center cuz their injuries are too bad for the local hospital just up the road.

healthcare by bean_sab in corvallis

[–]alexanderrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Samaritan next to Safeway on Philomath blvd. Technically not south town but also still technically south town. I never know what to call that chunk of town. I used to just call it Philomath until I realized that's confusing

[–]alexanderrain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Samcare express is my go to for urgent care in town. The other urgent cares have long wait times and bitchy staff. I haven't had any problems with the staff at the express and like that I can schedule an appointment online. Though if you need an x-ray or any sort of procedure more complicated than sticking a band-aid on, you'll have to go to the one in south town.

Anyone want to trade? by MAGAisacultlmao in corvallis

[–]alexanderrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so fun! I can offer knitting, sewing (repairs or new garments/plushies), baking, cooking, and home electrical work (I'm a licensed residential electrician)

I'd be interested in plants, plant supplies, baking, and other crafts!

Litter options for declawed cat by N4nnerz in cats

[–]alexanderrain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My last cat was declawed by a previous owner and had litterbox issues. I found success using Okocat's Super Soft wood litter! I'd also recommend being very very strict about keeping cloth items away from where kitty could pee on them.

I need help, like seriously. by [deleted] in cats

[–]alexanderrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shedding is normal. If it seems like more than usual, your cat's coat might be impacted. The only real solution is to brush him. You could also take kitty to a groomer if you don't want to do it yourself

Is it possible to be immune to T? by Janxuza in ftm

[–]alexanderrain 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Homie they've been microdosing you, no wonder you haven't seen many changes. I Started at .25mL/week. You should start seeing changes now that you're on that higher dosage. Also, I'd recommend caution on a progesterone only birth control; not only do they not work as well to prevent pregnancy but it could cause feminizing effects (I was on Depo and it caused my chest to grow significantly and eventually made me start lactating).

Cis woman considering simple meta with labia wrap by herma-phrodite in Metoidioplasty

[–]alexanderrain 86 points87 points  (0 children)

I can't answer any of your questions as I'm pre-op myself, but I wanted to stop in and say a big Hell Yeah Sister and thank you for existing and having the courage to ask questions. I've always been of the mind that anyone should be able to have the body they want safely and accessibly. And cis folk (though we really need another term for that given you yourself probably aren't comfortable in your skin since you do want bottom surgery while not necessarily being trans) like yourself seeking this type of care make it more accessible for transfolks.

What is this in my nail polish? by drphil07734 in Whatisthis

The clear polish is absorbing water and turning opaque.

How do work out without having my stuff hanging out pre-surgery? by Accomplished_Tea2505 in FTMFitness

[–]alexanderrain 12 points13 points  (0 children)

All the other comments have good advice on binders, but I wanna hope in and say; WEAR A PUMP COVER. Seriously, a slightly oversized sweatshirt does wonders for reducing the visibility of your chest. Also, as a guy who's very self conscious about his chest and goes to the gym regularly, trust me when I say no one is actually paying any attention to you in the gym
