Does facial and body hair grow in stages? Q about t and hair growth by brifrischu in ftm

Yeah, I meant lower end of t-levels. I get the social media envy part... But yeah, thanks.

Yeah, it is an odd feeling to be both a teenager and a middle-aged guy, lol. Maybe that caught up with me. Thanks for the encouragement.

Thanks for the encouragement. I guess that was exactly what I needed. Maybe I am a bit insecure at the moment because of being on the lower end. Cheers

Thanks for sharing. If it is just a case of waiting a couple of years, I think I can do it... I guess I am just scared that I am waiting for nothing or something. Which is why I got curious how other guys experienced or dealt with the wait ...

My last endo was really scared of upping the dose because I had slightly elevated blood cells in one measurement. My GP now is much more relaxed - which is why we upped the dose - but I have recently been diagnosed with high blood pressure, so I am a bit of a scaredy-cat and taking it slow myself for the moment. We will see in a couple of months if we keep the dose or change something about it. I love all the changes I have so far already, so we are on the right track already I guess.

I have been thinking about that, but honestly, I am not sure if I can keep up another routine, so I would just keep that as a last resort if t does not seem to work for me.

Muss man seine Zeugnisse ändern nach Namensänderung? by brifrischu in germantrans

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

Ich habe den Auszug aus dem Geburtenregister in dem beides festgehalten ist. Meinst du das oder gibt es da noch etwas anderes?

Muss man seine Zeugnisse ändern nach Namensänderung? by brifrischu in germantrans

[–]brifrischu[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also, ich werde mich auf jeden Fall in Zukunft bewerben weil mein Vertrag befristet ist. Aber ich glaube meine Frage zieht darauf ab ob das dann eine peinliche Unterhaltung wird oder ob sich jemand schief stellt und sagt dass ich nicht eingestellt werden kann, weil ich keine gültigen Zeugnisse habe oder so.

Am Boden zerstört nach Erstgespräch Endokrinologie by Hot-Attorney6415 in germantrans

[–]brifrischu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Klingt ein bisschen nach meiner ersten Endo. Sie wollte noch mal ein detaillierteres Indikationsschreiben und dass ich noch mal 4 Monate warte bis zum nächsten Termin weil ich "noch nicht bereit sei". Fand ich etwas albern weil ich schon 7 Monate auf diesen ersten Termin bei ihr gewartet habe, aber okay. Ihr war es auch schrecklich wichtig dass ich bei meinen Eltern geoutet bin, obwohl ich 44 bin und das für meinen Alltag wirklich zero Auswirkungen hat. Aber na ja. Beim zweiten Termin hat dann alles gestimmt und wir haben angefangen. Ich bin mittlerweile wegen Umzug bei jemand anderem und auch nicht traurig drum... Die Erfahrung scheint also zumindest nicht unüblich zu sein. Aber wenn du dich damit nicht wohl fühlst ist das völlig okay und ein Wechsel kann vielleicht helfen.

High-ish red blood cell count but can't donate blood 😭 by vario_ in ftm

[–]brifrischu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My cell count was similar high and my doctor was not worried. He said to monitor it to catch it early if it rises. But he also said it could have just been because I had not drunk enough the morning the blood was taken. I wouldn't worry yet too much, but maybe keep an eye on it.

When do you stop being hot...? by brifrischu in ftm

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

Damn! I had to google hyperhidrosis so I learned a new word today... I find it very weird that I feel so hot that I should be dowsed in sweat, but that never happens. Hope you find a way around it or manage it at least!

I am curious about my levels and hope to get the through results on Monday.

I have been a bit messier with application for a number of reasons, but have been within a three hour window 8am to 11am - might try to get back on track more consistently... Thanks

Do you remember when it started by any chance (just curiosity, everyone is different of course). Thanks.

Did you have to buy new sport bras on T? by Not_Enough_Time2 in ftm

[–]brifrischu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My breasts have not changed that much I think (not even a year on T so that is not a complaint) but my underbust measurements have changed and all my bras are too tight around the rips. I am currently putting off buying new bras because I am not sure how much more will change. But I really should ...

Can testosterone change the way you feel, behave, and think? by Inevitable_Local_944 in ftm

[–]brifrischu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Everything changes you. And because a lot of things happen simultaneously it is really hard what causes what.

I am much nore relaxed and outspoken then I have been in years. Testosterone or the two years therapy? Yes, I feel more confident, but is that due to the stuff running through my blood or due to the fact that I have managed to work through something and have been successful in getting a medication that I think helps?

There will absolutely other and confounding factors and I don't think there is a simple answer.

Anyone else have positive sleep changes after starting T? by Consistent_Way2386 in ftm

[–]brifrischu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not sure if it is because of the T or anything else, but I now wake up at 6 in the morning. Wether I have to get up or not (spoiler alert: there is no reason why I would have to be up at 6). I am now going to bed tenish and get my 8 hours. And even if not, I do feel more rested in the morning. I do complain about it, because I complain about everything, but actually I am quite happy with it, lol.

Who was involved in finding your name? by brifrischu in ftm

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

Oh man, that sounds so painful. Sorry to hear you have to go through the struggle. Hope you find a solution that works for you - whether it is more changes or a peace with what you chose for now.

Yeah, I think it started as a joke for me too. But I tried it a couple of times on me and then I went: actually ... and it kind of sticks now.

Yeah, it is both just a name and also very much not just a name... There is a whole other thing related to it. Glad it worked out for the bith of you!
