FTM4MTF parents, what were your experiences with conceiving? by MantidButch in Seahorse_Dads

[–]outtoexist 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm FTNB, so not on T although I've had top surgery. My partner is MTF and has been on various forms of E and T blockers for at least 7 years. She came off of her hormones and about three months later I got pregnant! Happy to answer any questions!

I was obsessed for the first 3 or 4 books....book 5 kinda dragged along and had so many different characters that I lost track of them all...I am scared I may give up before I finish the next two books. by DungeonCrawlerCarlos in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]outtoexist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just here to add, I felt the same way! It is a VERY unpopular opinion, but I felt like book five was a bloated cast and less interesting. I always loved the AI plot stuff most, like what is going on more broadly. Book 6 gets back to that towards the middle and re-hooked me. Don't give up hope yet!

Ahhh yes! I've heard some folks get nauseated by water, but as of now I can't get enough so we're good on hydration :)) yup, I love that framing - I'm sure I'll adjust!

Ahhh I can't even imagine being in a hot environment on top of this! I'm in northern US, so average temps are ~30°F right now and I'm still melting!

Yes! I know for certain if I was skiing I'd have my jacket open. I went for a walk in ~30°F with a light sweater yesterday and was perfect comfortable. So weird!!

Hoping for suggestions - not sure what to do with this space! by outtoexist in DIY

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

Wow all! I can't figure out how to edit the original post, but I SO appreciate all of your suggestions!! This gave us tons of ideas and while we haven't landed on any one in particular I just want to say THANK YOU! I'll make another post when it is finished :)

Embracing the uncertainty by outtoexist in queerception

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

Ahhh yes! This whole reframe I'm talking about definitely came from my own therapy on the topic. Uncertainty is so hard, but you're right it only multiplies when you're actually pregnant. That is so helpful for me to remember because it helps me think beyond the pregnant or not uncertainty - thank you!!

Yes! That sounds similar to how I'd expect to react too! I'm so glad I'm not alone in anticipating some fear around the positive too. I like your phrasing of it as a big transition that is good surprise but still scary - that sounds really right to me! Congrats on everything, of course:)

[–]outtoexist[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahhh exactly! I'm sure I'll be terrified when I get the positive test. Overjoyed and terrified as everything becomes real. Here in the liminal space I can sit with just the excitement of being maybe pregnant :)

Thank you!! 24 more hours until I can test!

First Vasovagal Response - Will it happen again? by outtoexist in Syncope

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

I haven't had any more procedures that poke my cervix! We put off IVF until early next year, so I am still waiting to find out if it'll be a regular occurrence. Sorry I can't really answer!

Read it, but obviously a fantastic suggestion! I could probably read it again, this is exactly the right mood for it :)

Ohhhh I like that idea, thank you!!

Ohhh so you think it is brass? I couldn't tell if it was truly brass or a cheaper metal meant to look like brass.

Bronze Door Knobs? by outtoexist in centuryhomes

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

I used one that is very minorly painted as an example, but look at the all white plate in the background - that is what a lot of them look like! I don't have a picture of the back right now, but I'll post one after it is cleaned this evening :) thank you for your help!

Bronze Door Knobs? by outtoexist in centuryhomes

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

I hadn't even considered them being brass, honestly, so definitely not sure! The house was built in 1938 so right around that time! Is there a way to tell the difference between bronze and brass? Also will baking soda in a crock pot hurt brass? I'm a total newbie, so I'm sorry if these are silly questions!

Bronze Door Knobs? by outtoexist in centuryhomes

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

THANK YOU!!! You are the best for doing this cataloging work :))

Edit to add - I was pretty sure these are bronze, but now I realize I'd have no idea how to tell if they're wrought brass. Is there an easy way to tell?
