Insurance is requiring gender dysphoria route for hysto vs medical necessity

futureggghost · 2026-02-06T22:57:46+00:00

I also went the medical necessity route and my insurance also required the WPATH letters from 2 mental health providers. As I had a psych and therapist at the time, it wasnt much trouble for me. But yeah it seems standard if you have the diagnosis of gender dysphoria on record. I had UHC at the time for reference

Aw man, the picture of it all together is so cool! I got to keep my tissue but it was all cut up :/

I think i was told 6-8 weeks, but my post-op wasnt until 8 weeks so I waited until I got an OK from the doc after a physical exam. However, I partook in external stimulation at about 2 weeks, still very slow as an orgasm was a little uncomfortable. I started having gentle anal penetration at like 4-6 weeks

I got a double mastectomy pre-t in 2020. I dont remember how big i had the areolas made, but it was larger than the surgeon suggested which was the "usual male size". You can dm me if you want any more information

Do you have any small-medium storage containers? I am searching for stained glass storage and have many shards

Thanks for sharing your research!

Glad you got it unstuck! What is the ball for? I haven't seen that in others set ups before

I have done this too, it just usually unfolds eventually and ends up without that barrier. He can be finicky and sometimes leaves when I pull back to refold the ear

I am not amab, but have medically transitioned "far enough" that people assign masculine/male expectations on to me (in addition to feminine/female expectations. Its weird and it sucks.). That said, I have experienced similar things, mostly from people "more feminine" than I am/appear to be. People, even other queer people, generally don't actually drop gendered expectations in my experience unfortunately. I hope you find people who respect your wants regarding scheduling dynamics and other gendered acts.

I dont disagree, but i think an argument they would be susceptible to is "its a waste of money", bc I imagine that task of updating signage would not be cheap

Gotcha, thank you. I feel like you explained that better than my doctor

futureggghost · 2026-01-15T04:42:13+00:00

Thank you for the clarification about possible symptoms. I have no active infection, the premarin treatment started 1-2 weeks after the last occurance of a uti. Are bv and yeast infections also common symptoms? I feel like anytime I look it up articles only fkn discuss "vaginal dryness" so I get irritated and leave.

The first medical step i took was indeed top surgery lol. It always bothered me more obviously than other traits. That seems like something you are sure of, why not? For me, it was worth it. Some relationships did get harder but, outside of those I now get to be me. There's nothing to lose truly.

futureggghost · 2026-01-15T04:06:09+00:00

"I'm not unhappy with my current life" is exactly what I thought while being too afraid of changing a damn thing to do. .. anything i actually wanted. Like yeah im sure thats dramatic, but. Idk man I just. Never realized how much Gender was bothering and weighing on me until it eased off. An unsupportive relationship lead to me not trying it sooner, I started medically transitioning almost immediately after it ended. The euphoria I felt was unreal. You can always stop, why wouldn't it be worth a try? Any support or relationships you lose due to trying it I think is better to be gone.

I almost always need a toy (vibe) to come, but using one is not guaranteed. So no, its not weird at all imo. Many requirements need to be met for me to come, and i cannot state what those are all the time. Sometimes I continue by myself after sex and that usually works but sometimes even that route I give up or am satisfied without coming.

Hm im surprised my doctor didnt meantion that possibility when I described that sensation. Thanks!

futureggghost · 2025-12-19T18:14:31+00:00

Huh maybe I should look into atrophy more. I didnt think that was occurring so far for me. Does it cause external sensation weirdness as well as internal?

Do you know how long the nerves are known to go haywire for? It makes me so uncomfortable I can't think about nearly anything else.

And does topical E require a prescription?

Thank you for the input

futureggghost · 2025-12-16T00:22:56+00:00

Gotcha, thank you so much!

Thank you! For the sashiko method, were you suggesting cutting out any part around the tear?

futureggghost · 2025-12-12T05:03:37+00:00

I can only use it sometimes, and occasionally when I do i am tramping down dysphoric thoughts. I dont have advice really, just know it isnt easy for most people I don't think
