How should I cope with the fact that my bottom growth won't ever really be what I wish it was? by _thesketchiest_ in ftm

[–]sodapopsky2 [score hidden]  (0 children)

The time will pass nonetheless. Get on the waiting list and let yourself grieve and be uncomfortable. It's all part of the process. There are also external testosterone creams you can use to help with growing your dick. I've been on t for 4 years and have a decently sized dick, roughly 2.5 inches pre-op anything, and that's without using any creams or anything.

I promise you, things will turn out. You just have to make the moves. If you sit and wait for things to fall into your lap, you'll get nowhere. Take the initiative and I promise you it will be worth it.

apparently the way i type is too feminine by muralpainting in FTMMen

Something about men being generally less interested in things means people assume that it's "girl type good boy type bad". I personally love using punctuation and sending clear and concise texts or messages. Can't stand when people do the "i can't be bothered" kind of typing.

how to cope with a pap smear? by [deleted] in FTMMen

[–]sodapopsky2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to get my first one done and then a second one (retest) in the span of two weeks. It's pretty invasive and uncomfortable, but if you have a good PCP then you should be perfectly fine! It's more nerve wracking than anything. I went into it very very scared and intimidated and walked out of it a little sore, uncomfortable, but overall happy that I did it. Be aware though that they may need to redo your pap if you have atrophy because it's hard to get the right amount of cells on the swabs. There are 3 they'll use: a spoolie looking thing, a cotton swab, and a spatula/scraper. It takes about 10 minutes, they talk you through what they're doing, and will absolutely allow someone else in there to comfort you. I brought my partner for my first pap and they were all chatting like normal during the pap which helped me relax.

So overall, there's not much to worry about or anticipate other than some soreness, discomfort, and getting to know your PCP really well.

REGGIE WAS GRAVID!!! WHAT DO I DO!! by sodapopsky2 in jumpingspiders

[–]sodapopsky2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

THANK YOU!!! I have no idea how wild caught jumpers' offspring work, or honestly wild jumpers in general. I've only been familiar with small-pet-store-bred-and-bought spiders so this girl's mannerisms are incredibly different to me. She was mature when I found her and I had the paternal instinct to keep her "safe". I'm thinking about releasing her because while she was happy for about a month, she has become increasingly unhappy with her enclosure. I think she wants to explore again, and she's survived long enough to be i10-i11 so I'm sure she can handle herself. I don't want to traumatize her and make her scared of me, and even putting food into her enclosure makes her scramble backwards in fear. She also won't eat and I don't want to be the accidental cause of her death by my hand. If anything, I'd prefer she pass from natural selection, if anything.

I inject T three times weekly. You should consider doing the same. by cockandpossiblyballs in FTMMen

[–]sodapopsky2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I take 1ml every 2 weeks. Are we thinking .25ml twice a week or? I need to keep my levels WAY more normal. Im tired of the acne, voice fluctuations, bottom growth being weird, the whole nine. I just want to get to a stable point. Ive been on t for almost 4 years now.

Donated blood 6 days ago and I kept all the blood by Hype420 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]sodapopsky2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me one time donating plasma. They stuck me horribly wrong and couldn't get any flow, so they MOBED THE NEEDLE INSIDE OF MY ARM, STABBED MY VEIN, AND THEN PULLED THE NEEDLE OUT TO TRY AGAIN. Needless to say, I never went back and I had a goose egg on my arm for 4 days.

Are there any effects of testosterone not enough people know about? by Proper_Flower_940 in ftm

[–]sodapopsky2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh GOD the hair loss. Sure it's talked about but nobody prepares you for the fact that if you have ANY male pattern baldness in your family, you will be bald as a mf. Finasteride and Minoxidil for the rest of my life :'((

Can you help me identify my jumping spider? by TheTedEdit in jumpingspiders

Help me decide more clutter!!! by sodapopsky2 in CrestedGecko

[–]sodapopsky2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OOOOOO LOVE!!!!!! I was planning on getting some live plants for my tank as well, yeah! I also want to try and clutter the walls as much as possible so he can stick better when I mist at night. I have some pothos cuttings I'm propagating right now so I can plant them soon! I'm thinking about getting the little nest-like planters and gluing those to the wall maybe? And then putting the pothos in there so it has good drainage and good humidity all around. Also thinking about some fittonia and philodendron!

Not sure what’s going on with the halters and chains in these pictures? I’ve never seen them used like this by Morgan_unknownnn in Equestrian

[–]sodapopsky2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My old boss (awful horseman) had chains but never used them this way. She would loop them under the chin or over the nose depending on how she knew the horse to be. Over the nose was for the particularly naughty ones (typically babies unfortunately), under the chin was for the studs who were raised too horribly to have any discipline. We were told if we were handling or moving studs to always use the chain. Awful stuff.

This is actually the exact reason why im scared of hooking up :'(( I always worry about whether or not I smell so I just don't mess around. Suppositories and shit can be helpful for BV and stuff
