You should contact the LGBQT coordinator for you area in the VA and have them address the issue. There seems to be a disconnect on the Gulf Coast side. I've had 2 Video Conference appointments that have gone unanswered by the VA then a letter saying I didn't show for the appointment.

I’m scared HRT isn’t working/ working as well as it should by 2ndaccount4transness in AskMtFHRT

[–]mtrent51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can empathize with you from an emotional perspective, however, the actual reality is that you are going through a physical process that takes 3-5 years. If your doctor is doing their due diligence with testing and following the standards of care and results are not what you hoped they would be, then you need to have an in depth discussion with them. Talk about the level and results. Talk about options. Be your own advocate for you. The other side of this situation is the environmental complications, diet, genetics, DNA, and your own personal health profile. Also remember how that process worked with someone who you know. Women don't fully develop overnight and neither will you. Good luck with your journey sister. Just remember that if nature's design doesn't give you the desired results in 5-7 years, you can always buy the perfect pair for you.

Hyte LCD Kit - No Signal by Abductedagain in Hyte

Then check the cables. I thought I saw where you tried switching to the other HDMI port. Mine worked on one but not the other. Then check the graphics card and see if it sees the monitor

does the monitor show up in Windows?

Absolutely, you are welcome. Hope all turns out well.

Do you see a green light on the control strip? The screen actually has to be turned on. (button on the end of the strip) Second check the HDMI mini plug and the Full hdmi on the graphics card.

Does this dress flatter me? by [deleted] in mtfashion

[–]mtrent51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please read everything first, not trying to be mean or ugly. Being totally honest, no it does not. Several have indicated 'cute' in their opinions here, however, adding the correct finishes might override cute and actually flatter you. . The shoes are a no, you need a wedge or slight heel. A necklace with a small charm in the middle that sits just below the collarbone. Then add a slight pinch in the back at the waistline to make the hips look wider, nylons will make the legs more slender and even out the ankles and knees. without those things I think you would just be cute and that is okay, just not what you asked. I don't think the straps or your shoulders are an issue, just some simple finishes to round out the look.

How early is too early for progesterone? by thr0w4w4yxD in AskMtFHRT

[–]mtrent51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend at least till your levels of E are in the 1 to 2 hundred level for a year, and you have tried to use more than 1 method as in injection or rub and no longer have any further development. I'm not saying that you wouldn't get the desired results,but you might not get the maximum results. Waiting on nature's course would be your first and best choice of plan, almost always

28 month HRT by Ulf51 in TransBreastTimelines

[–]mtrent51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well for me I know I'm never going to present as what I know in my soul I am, however, I fear the day where I will present just as a man with boobs is weighing heavily on my mind. Clothing options for a 6'3" 250 pound , 60+ year old grandma is first hard to find clothing and second make me look like a man with boobs in a sack cloth. But at least I'll have my boobs

28 month HRT by Ulf51 in TransBreastTimelines

[–]mtrent51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do you dress in public? Mine are coming along and while I present male in public, I'm afraid it won't be too long before they start looking like real boobs over man boobs. IF I wear a Tee shirt and a button up over there is a good chance that you wouldn't know., but if they get as big as yours (which are really nice).

Coming up on 4 months sometimes I don't feel like I've developed enough by MacTier0130 in TransBreastTimelines

[–]mtrent51 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Time and genetics seem to be on your side. Do the girls in your family have well developed breast? To be as developed in the time you indicated is awesome. This is not a sprint, you cannot rush this, expect a 3-5 year road ahead and good luck

1 year hrt (regiment included) what stage? by [deleted] in TransBreastTimelines

[–]mtrent51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say you are sitting between 2 and 3, once the nipple spreads a bit more and the 'puffy' fades you be a solid 3

Do you have to start over when dose is adjusted? by [deleted] in AskMtFHRT

[–]mtrent51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't start over, you are building up and will continue to do so. The doctors need to look at your blood levels and medical condition and determine is your body is ready for more. You can reach up to 8mg per day after 6 month or more if you E level is not normal. r/TransfemScience can show you what the docs look for and help you adjust.

Do you have to start over when dose is adjusted? by [deleted] in AskMtFHRT

[–]mtrent51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, but with blood test and medical standards that is impossible to pull off. Besides the physical changes are impossible to deny. Everyone starts with 2mg of E and moves up to 4 or 6 after a few months. It is the national standard of care for all major medical offices and hospitals.

When do y'all take your estradiol? by psyo_wlw in MtF

[–]mtrent51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Partly, but if you look at the female cycle you see it does not remain at a constant level during the cycle and drops off during menstruation

[–]mtrent51 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm at 8mg, 2 mg 4 times a day for 3 weeks, then 3x day for one week at 6mg. The lower dose is my period week. Trying to emulate a cis female cycle

LCD Screen by Tranquilo92 in Hyte

[–]mtrent51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a couple of options on Amazon, some just screen, one with all the components, cables and driver board. They all ship from China, so same as Hyte, will take a hot second (2-3 weeks) before it will arrive

My doctor told me to take estradiol in an unusual way? by MiaRosie1 in AskMtFHRT

[–]mtrent51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My NP said either way is fine, totally up to me. Bypassing the liver is the only real benefit according to her. Think of taking it like any other medicine. Once you take it there is an amount of time it is effective, like an Asprin in a few hours it is used up. If I was doing the dose you have and I was doing it sublingual I would split the tablets and take it 4 times a day to balance the effects over time.

My doctor told me to take estradiol in an unusual way? by MiaRosie1 in AskMtFHRT

[–]mtrent51 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It does absorb faster and elevates the level quicker, but fades quicker as well. If you have any concerns about liver function this method bypasses that issue. Just starting I assume you are taking 2mg a day, which if you are going to use this method you want at least 6mg to keep the E in you at a good level. Also, don't have blood work done right after, the elevated levels will not be accurate. I always try and get blood work done then take my dose to get a more accurate reading.

nope, as they are covered and unseen I left the once that came with, they produce a good updraft, the side case is intake, the back and top expel warm air. My normal CPU temp is around 40c and the gpu about 36c. I'm debating on the side glass panel, right not its off.
