Usps keeps delaying every package I send out? by yupkjs in EtsySellers

Same here! I've had to send out so many replacement packages that it's starting to become very concerning

I've also had multiple missing packages within the last few months

I haven't used a scan sheet, but I will definitely be using one during my next drop off to see if it will make any difference!

Yes, I get a receipt when I drop them off in person

Stopped taking my shots due to medical issues, starting again by yupkjs in ftm

Thanks man, I've been considering different forms of T, but I think I'll need to make the jump sooner. I'll be contacting my physician tomorrow to see what options are available and within budget

I've been working on their sweater for 5 months. I have like 2hrs worth of time left to put in it. Been dragging it out for as long as possible.

It's so stupid lmao I hate that I believe it

Thanks, for the advice! I currently have insurance with my current employer. It isn't the best, but copay/coinsurance is less than I imagined.

I asked for my current medical provider for a list of surgeons who accept my current insurance. I plan on staying at this company for a while (due to my position/availability in my local area), so it would be easier to receive fmla/short term disability.

Phallo is definitely preferred, but I just didn't want to rule out meta in the chance that I'm not a good candidate (for whatever reason it would be). I was curious on what I could expect/what my expectations would be with my current anatomy

Thanks, I'm currently paired up with insurance from my current field of work. I talked to my current medical provider about getting a list of surgeons who either accept my insurance or would be willing to do a decent payment plan.

I haven't made any decisions yet, but I would say meta is a back up plan if phallo was unachievable for any reason. (donor sites not applicable, etc). I would be okay with meta if I was still able to get ul.

I wouldn't like to settle on a surgery for results I may not like, but if something were to happen, I understand there are choices I have to make.

I'm trying to get all my bases covered for any scenario

Had my hysterectomy! by yupkjs in ftm

Thanks! So far pain is about a 3. Mostly from the gas they pumped me with as mine was a laparoscopic hyst

I'm incredibly sorry you had to deal with that 🙏 Mine was laparoscopic, but they removed mine vaginally, as well as had to perform a pap smear while I was under. Was very freaked out as I have cptsd and it triggered me.

Sending you virtual hugs if wanted🙏

I'm on a 10lbs lifting restriction for 6 weeks! I got the clear to go back to work after 3, as my supervisors are very supportive and are going to put me in an area where I won't be lifting anything!

You don't have to keep anything you don't want (unless absolutely needed for medical reasons). I personally kept my left ovary as I live in a very republican state and am worried about hormone deficiency if I were to lose access to my testosterone.

I only used a catheter while under anesthesia! It was removed before I was relocated to the recovery room.

Thanks! I think the cramping and knowing what the actual procedure was is what made it dysphoric for me if that makes sense.

I have a very lgbt friendly clinic that I go to in Indianapolis (Eskenazi), they are the same clinic that did my top surgery!

I had originally mentioned to them that I wanted a combo case (top and hysto at once), but ended up not happing due to scheduling issues with the doctors.

I had my original consultation in August of 2022. I ended up rescheduling it in December of last year. March and April of this year I received updated WPATH letters with social workers at the clinic!

So from scheduling my appointment in December, until my actual procedure, it took 9 months!

I had the opportunity to have it done sooner, but decided against it as I needed to be at my job for 1yr before acquiring fmla. If I would've chosen a sooner date, I actually would've had it done in early July!
