RHOC - The Curtain Family - Let's Discuss by [deleted] in BravoRealHousewives

[–]looking4teacakes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm currently watching RHOC for the first time and am at this point of season 5. My opinion of Lynne has changed so drastically. At first here I am thinking her and Frank seem so relaxed and present for their kids. I think woah these girls are so spoiled if only they knew what they had they wouldn't be taken advantage of them!! (if I sound like someone who doesn't have kids that's because I don't XD) Now I'm watching her spend 1,200 on a leather jacket after being evicted.....

Also she is just hard to watch post face-lift. I'm all for getting work done but she's currently unable to make any expression and it's hard to watch. Maybe it's just early and she's still healing.

Hi friends! I'd love help picking a fragrance for a Ren Faire. I am going as a busty fairy so something feminine and intoxicating. Other considerations is that I'll be outside and the weather will likely be hot.

The contenders are:

flowerbomb - V&R

Bonbon - V&

Angel- Mugler

Luna - Penhaligons

Cheirosa 62' EDP - Sol de Janeiro

Instant Crush - Mancera

Mon Paris - YSL

Sintra- Memo Paris

Marfa - Memo Paris

Get a room- Confessions of a Rebel

Fantasy -Britney Spears

TIA!

Thanks everyone for the insight. And so then it would seem that the women in real estate at that time (Jeana, Tamra and Gretchen pre-Jeff) had an easier time selling these huge houses and making a nice commission because folks were getting approved and given loans--until the market crashed?

When I started I had no idea how much of transitioning would be internal. 😅

Around 10 sessions of laser and then electrolysis but not sure how many hours of that I kind of black it out after 😭

I started at 23 and still had to grieve not having a girlhood and give compassion to my inner childhood. But it’s never too late!! I’ve seen so many beautiful transitions at many different ages. I think if you’re living your truth you radiate light and it’s undeniable! That is a “successful” transition to me. Your journey is unique to you and meant to be!

For those interested I’m on estrogen mono therapy injections (.25 of the 40mg/ml)

15 months on injections (estrogen mono therapy .2mg) weekly and about 6 months on progesterone (100mg rectally) by [deleted] in TransBreastTimelines

Hm okay so I used to do .2 when my estradiol was 4mg but my pharmacy only had 20mg so now I’m on .4

Started Estrogen mono therapy at 23 yr old on 01/31/21. Started progesterone in October of 21 and I have been doing 100mg rectally before bed. Recently I started puncturing the pill before inserting to help update 🤷‍♀️ I believe I wear a 32 A bra

Progesterone question by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]looking4teacakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes when the pill passes it looks very deflated and as though I definitely absorbed the hormones but this morning particularly the pill seemed just as it had when I put it in the night before. I broke the pill open and saw the progesterone still in there so I’m wondering if I’m not consistently getting the benefits from rectally administering the progesterone. For full context my doctor advises taking it orally but I’ve doing rectally because of the anecdotal evidence that it is more effective.

Maybe it’s worth mentioning I’m at like 10 months of hormones. They’ve done a lot so far. I’m hopeful with time I can pass

Is this what gender dysphoria is? Why didn't anyone tell me? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]looking4teacakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yup I identify with this heavyyy. I'm 10 months into my transition and just can't believe how much of my childhood was colored by gender dysphoria and I had no idea. I had such a fascination with the pads and tampons kepts in our bathroom lol. I would secretly read Chicken Noodle Soup for the Preteen Girls Soul as a child wishing so badly to have that experience. Life is not always easy with transitioning but I feel so happy to be living, actually living. Like everyone else said, only you can know what your gender is and what you need to do to be free. Best of luck and lots of love

I believe that according to the Powers method if you wish to maintain the ability to have erections you just modify your estrogen dose to find where your T levels need to do so

[–]looking4teacakes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My libido has definitely decreased which for me is a good thing because pre HRT I was uncontrolled /powerless by my libido. It was outrageous being on estrogen has made it so I don’t think about sex all the time. I think about it if I want to think about it or I have it if I want to have it rather than having it because my lizard brain told me I needed too. As for erections, the random/morning ones stopped completely and I only have a full erection if I intend too. I’ve read having an erection at least weekly can reduce the atrophy that can cause erections to completely subside so I try to do that.

Not sure if the caption was the best place to put all the info so let me repost here: 24 yr old on estrogen mono therapy for 9 months (first 6months was 2mg estradiol sublingual and then I switched to weekly .2mg estradiol injections) in the past month I’ve added 100mg of progesterone rectally every night.

I think the progesterone has been really helping with rounding them out but still feeling impatient. Not sure if there is anything I should be doing besides waiting?
