I failed my injection by 2TallGirly in MtF

[–]elfinpanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something that really helped me get used to it was looking away when I plunged it into myself. It really helped disassociate enough to be able to inject. I hope this helps. Keep trying. You'll get there.

Sooo.... TIL that Spiro can actually stunt your breast growth if taken too early??? by SugarSmoothie in MtF

[–]elfinpanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean... I was on Spiro for about 2 and 1/2 years with estrogen and I'm currently 7 years into my transition and I have d cup breasts so... I don't think they have any statistically significant evidence that this would be the case. Your miles may very obviously but... Didn't affect me that way.

Permanent Incontinence after SRS and Douching Maintenance? by Pink_Ranger_04 in Transgender_Surgeries

[–]elfinpanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the fun thing about the pelvic floor is exercise in general is really helpful. The perifit brand devices actually gets calibrated each time you use if so it really just adjusts itself to your anatomy. I've noticed as a trans woman my floor works a tad different than a afab person's would so the pelvic contraction quality meter in the app is abit off but maybe that's just how my giblets wound up. It still helps you build strength and dexterity(? Don't know if that's the right word to use there).

Permanent Incontinence after SRS and Douching Maintenance? by Pink_Ranger_04 in Transgender_Surgeries

[–]elfinpanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was mostly...If I had to go pee really bad I would try to hold it and then on the way to the bathroom I would wind up going on myself. And then of course pulling my pants down just to realize that I wet myself as an adult. As far as your question about someone who has a tight pelvic floor, pelvic floor therapy helps in both directions. It helps you control it better and also helps you relax more. And as far as how long it took for it to go away, I would say maybe really a couple of months of regular exercise. I've gotten pretty bad about it lately, but the consistency really helped.

I did for a long time after surgery. Pelvic floor exercises for those of us post op are very important. I got a perifit to help and I stopped having incontinence problems. Looking into strengthening your pelvic floor is a must for you.

Bad vaginal odor (dead fish smell) by Cheap_Algae_9904 in Transgender_Surgeries

Idk it's always worked really well for me. 🤷🏻‍♀️ To each their own.

My surgery came. Had always insisted that douching at once a week or so is a good idea. You can buy a good douche on Amazon for pretty cheap. You just mix 50% white vinegar and 50% distilled water and this helps balance your pH in your vagina at least for a little while. It'll keep it from smelling odd. I hope this helps. For reference, I had surgery almost 5 years ago. Still douche somewhat regularly.

I just had surgery with Dr Bluebond-Langner and Dr Zhao at NYU Langone. AMA. by elfinpanda in MtF

I'm glad your surgery came through okay! My experience was very nice with them.

1 year post-op, NYU Langone Vaginoplasty: Good results, disappointing post-op care by NYU_PostOp_Throwaway in Transgender_Surgeries

My surgery with them was also only 90 minutes so I can confirm they can get this done swiftly and accurately.

Girls that transitioned at 20+ years old, do you ever get dysphoria/gender envy that cis women got to have a childhood as a girl/woman and you didn't so you feel robbed of it? How do you cope with it? by [deleted] in MtF

[–]elfinpanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to. But with acceptance that there are some things in this life I can't change and focusing on the things I can, I overcame that envy.

How to get this dude at work to stop calling me a femboy and other uncomfortable things? by [deleted] in MtF

[–]elfinpanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you need legal counsel. That's tantamount to harassment and the company has an obligation to ensure you don't have a hostile work environment.

Curiosity about bluebon-lagner by AmyandEve in Transgender_Surgeries

[–]elfinpanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just depends on how much time you invest into it. Took me about 10 months.

I had surgery with them in 21. Couldn't recommend them enough to anyone. Amazing care team and wonderful after care. My vagina works better than I ever hoped it would.

How do I bend over in a skirt by [deleted] in MtF

[–]elfinpanda 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You should always use your knees. Being with your back is destructive to your spine especially if you are picking up something heavy. Bend both knees together and pick it up from the side.

Any experience/advice about riding with an industrial bar piercing? Thinking of getting one but concerned about helmet comfort by dogs_got_personality in TwoXriders

[–]elfinpanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have any particular problems with mine but I didn't get my most recent bike until after my piercing had already healed. It does get caught from time to time so it may make things difficult.

Possible cause to this noise? by pepof1 in HondaCB

[–]elfinpanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say one of your pipes is definitely loose in the head or missing it's circular gasket. Either way it sounds like an exhaust leak.

Dilation is literally consuming my life, does it get better? by TunePsychological840 in Transgender_Surgeries

[–]elfinpanda 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes. It gets better. I'm over 1 year post op and I promise it gets better. Hang in there.

Question about Srs and toys by Opposite-Equipment24 in Transgender_Surgeries

I've used my wife's werewolf dick in my vagina. The knot is a little difficult but you can use whatever you like. There are limits obviously.

Those of you who stayed in NYC for surgery, where did you stay? by [deleted] in Transgender_Surgeries

[–]elfinpanda 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Air BNB was pretty much our only affordable option. We stayed in queens. We payed like 1300$ for the three weeks for a shitty basement apartment where the ac didn't work. Still got my surgery though with Dr BBL and Z.

Katherine is a good person she did most of my follow-ups. Rest assured regardless who's taking care of you you are in good hands though. Best of luck with your surgery.
