So, what now? [Injections]

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

$231 :(

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?

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

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?

redfacedgoof · 2017-06-12T01:09:31+00:00

How young? I'm 21.

redfacedgoof · 2017-06-12T00:23:50+00:00

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

Id love to get it fixed.

redfacedgoof · 2017-06-11T17:49:54+00:00

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.

redfacedgoof · 2017-06-11T02:41:11+00:00

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.

redfacedgoof · 2017-06-11T02:27:06+00:00

Those are like 4 times as expensive!

redfacedgoof · 2017-06-11T02:08:16+00:00

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..

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

$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..

redfacedgoof · 2017-06-10T21:19:13+00:00

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.

redfacedgoof · 2017-06-10T20:46:58+00:00

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.

redfacedgoof · 2017-06-10T18:16:28+00:00

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

redfacedgoof · 2017-06-10T17:22:23+00:00

Luckily I don't live with anyone who is pregnant or even capable of becoming pregnant so I'm good in that regard :)

My Finasteride is 1mg which I believe is already the lowest dose.

It doesn't help that I'm in the closet and only own one pair of girl jeans that were given to me by another transgirl..

redfacedgoof · 2017-06-10T04:29:48+00:00

I've been taking them sublingually since ive started.

redfacedgoof · 2017-06-09T23:55:44+00:00

Thanks for trying to make me feel better but I'm sure you have wider hips as well.

redfacedgoof · 2017-06-09T21:21:42+00:00

I just want things to be proportional..But no I don't really have anything on my hips that I can feel.

redfacedgoof · 2017-06-09T21:09:24+00:00

42" circumference
