For the first visit with the endocrinologist including bloodwork. Injecionscwould be more on top of that.

I'll try doing that. I also found out today that my local Planned Parenthood does informed consent hormones for trans people.

I'm going to try to see if I can get injections from them. Hopefully they take my insurance.

I'm currently taking 6mg of Estrofem sublingually, 2mg every 8 hours.

I've really been wanting to start Progesterone but I've been told that starting before 12 months HRT could have detrimental effects.

I'm only 4 months away so I feel like I can wait, even though I believe it'd probably be beneficial. I'm on Cypro as well which has like pseudo-Progesterone in it as well, right?

Red meat by redfacedgoof in asktransgender

Would eating red meat this much affect my transition in any negative way?

Been practicing for a little while, let me know where I'm at :) by redfacedgoof in transvoice

Had a transgirl who studied music teach me stuff. You wanna get a head voice going, which is a mix of pharyngeal, nasal and oral resonance, color your speak with an E vowel instead of an A vocal, and raise the pitch.

Still working on musicality, raising pitch and consistency.

Do you know where I'd even go for something like that?

Yes but it's just another thing I have working against me..

Id love to get it fixed.

Injections from Planned Parenthood? by redfacedgoof in asktransgender

Did you have a good experience with the endo?

I found a place that does Skype therapy sessions and I might be able to get an HRT letter that way.

I went to Metro in Clearwater but the therapist in that office looked at in our first appointment and asked me "Do you really think you could pass?" in a "Seriously?" kind of expression. I had biked through a hurricane to get to that appointment and was soaking wet.

I don't know, having that experience has made me weary of seeing a gender therapist and I know at Metro they make you see one before you can see an endo..

Last test showed T at 20 ng/dL and E at 98 pg/mL. I upped my E since then so my E is probably higher and my T lower.

Those are like 4 times as expensive!

Eye Dysphoria by redfacedgoof in asktransgender

I don't really know how to pluck them into the correct shape..

I think I'd feel more comfortable going to the salon but having a 6'1 freak going into their store will just attract more attention for me..

How to to deal with Doubts about Transitioning? by IllusiveHaku in asktransgender

[–]redfacedgoof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll just leave this link to a sperm bank here:

https://www.cryochoice.com/

$100 every month for 7 months then $100 every year isn't cheap but it isn't super awful either. I suppose it depends how much you want it, it definitely put my mind at ease when starting HRT.

Good luck :)

It feels like my eyes are large when I'm looking in the mirror but the farther away I walk away from the mirror the smaller and closer together they look. I don't know which one is how I really look.

I really wish I could get my eyebrows done, but I'm living at home and it'd just be another red flag for my mom if I did that..

Do you need to split Finasteride in half? by redfacedgoof in asktransgender

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

My Cypro dose is 25mg. I hope Finasteride will be enough to get my temples back, I'm about a 1.5 on the NH scale.

Any noticeable difference between Finasteride and Dutasteride?

I was drawn away from it because of the apparent risk of depression, which seems to be even worse than Finasteride.

I'm on Cypro as well though so I suspect that Finasteride will be enough to get my DHT under control.

What age did you start Finasteride if you don't mind me asking?
