Raised My Spiro ?


Guest doodle

Recommended Posts

after my last blood test my doctor raised my spiro by one third. this was about a month ago. Now I seem to be a lot more mentally sensitive, easier stressed by some- things like men. I'm a bit more weepy and tired, and my breasts really hurt. I have also been getting these strange sexual feelings.I don't know?

Honey you have no idea how things will change for you - Have you started HRT. I've come to love the breast tenderness as it means 'things are developing'

Honey.....

I don't recognize any of that associated with Spiro....

Is your doc an Endo?

I'd call and make them aware of what is going on here...

Ask if these things are a result of the increase...I thought that Spiro had nothing to do with breast tenderness and that was a direct result of the estrogen..

You need to call, Kelly..and then let us know what is going on...

We really aren't able to diagnose here on the forum...

I want you to have a healthy transition...we have to be around for the end result...

Call....OK?

HUGGS!

If the T was too high then raising the AA could allow both the body's natural estrogen plus any from the HRT to do exactly what is being described. Not knowing all of the facts this is only a guess.

I have been on HRT for about a year and a half. So the breast tenderness yeah, but they hurt. I have been wearing a bra at home so they don't move much. My partner can't even touch them. Bummer. And yes Joanna, my T was to high. I was suppose to go today for blood work but I had to put it off and will be going on the 31st, than to the doc on 1/13, I'm just spacy and weepy and emotionally sensitive. No, my doc is not an endo but works on a lot of trans women . He's at Callen Lorde, NYC's, GLBtT health clinic.

thanks

My dear doodle, that sure sounds like most of the rest of us. As your T drops you will find that those old male defenses no longer work, your emotions can and will get the better of you a lot of the time. As for breast tenderness, I brushed one of mine with a bed sheet today and geepers did that hurt. I thought omg if that hurt the way it did, thank ghod its not the corner of a door.

I am possibly the clumsiest person alive. I can't tell you how many times I've done that.

      Welcome to TGP, Amy! You'll find many like-minded people here as well as tons of information. Don't worry about trying to describe yourself. Relax, ask questions, and join in where you feel comfortable.    I started out like you, crossdressing in private, even hiding it from my wife, before coming to the realization that it was much more. I'm still only out to my wife, therapist and priest.....and, of course, everyone here. We all understand how difficult it can be to find oneself amid the emotions and challenges.    We are each unique yet share many commonalities.    We're glad you found us!

      You are more brave than I. It's only 60 here right now.

      I was doing my best to get past the fear and shame i felt whenever i went out in public so when i went to therapy and later to my doctor i presented as the woman i felt myself to be.  There was a policy that one had to live as their chosen gender for a year prior to starting HRT.  In some ways that seemed almost right to me as one of the hardest things we do is the entry into society as ourselves.     Of course the way you dress is up to you but be assured that your doctor is there to support not denigrate your decision.   Hugs,   Charlize

      And now wearing my hiking dress/swimsuit cover dress as I prepare to kayak back to my truck.

      You are right, there are no actual 'roos in Tassie, just their smaller cousins like wallabies and pademelons. Devils are really cute. If you got to see the adults in full noise, you can easily understand why they got portrayed that way in the Looney Tunes cartoons! Emus, or 'bush chooks', have a habit of sneaking up on you and stealing food. I was at an open range zoo a few years ago and was holding a bag of pellets behind me to hide it from the emus in front of me, when one snuck up behind me and stole it. I've never jumped so high in my life! I almost needed to change my undies! 😆

      wearing my bathing suit at a rocky beach. At the same lake as the one I fell into from the kayak a few weeks ago. Watson (my chihuahua) and I took a nice swim and sunbathed for a little while.

      I searched for a bag that felt right and worked for me.  Eventually i found an old leather Coach bag.  I've carried it for over 10 years now.  Occasionally i use Lexol  to revitalize the leather as i did on the tac for horses years ago.  The leather has become soft and the clever fittings on the bag have preventing too much wear.  It's pretty big so perhaps i carry too much.   Hugs,   Charlize

      Thank you, friend. It means much.

      Home crumbed chicken schnitzel, with scalloped potatoes, peas & corn.   We try to plan our dinner meals ahead for the week, so getting in early - tomorrow night will be lamb chump chops baked in the oven with a honey/soy marinade. In the same dish will be potato and pumpkin segments. The other veges will be string beans and cauliflower.

      Yep.   I sometimes get busy on another forum which has a wide array of general interest subforums. Everything from politics to tech to money to sport. There have been plenty of times where I have quoted people and given examples which demonstrate why their posts were either bollocks or at least tangential to the thread title, only to have my reply hidden because it was deemed to be off-topic...yet their off-topic post that I quoted remained intact!    Freedom of speech per se should be upheld, BUT...is it just me, or does it sometimes seem like the biggest proponents of it prioritize their 'rights' over their responsibilities? Maybe it is just me, but does anyone else feel like there is a cohort of people out there (not here!) who defend their hate speech under the guise of free speech? Whether it be on an internet forum or in real life, there must be rules and regulations.   Our moderators here do a truly fantastic job, and this forum really is a rare treasure. What helps is that above everything that does get discussed including the differing opinions at times on non-core issues, we are all on the same side!

      God bless you, dear. Be well.

      Good morning everyone,    It’s a dog life thing, with a puppy influence. We slept until 06:00 at which time Parker made his first soft bark from inside his crate. I got up and got ready to go outside so he could take care of business and potty. Then we played with his favorite toy 🧸 and tug of war and fetch. Coffee has finished brewing and my first cup is flavorful Folgers Black Silk.    I hope you have a wonderful day and can be who you were meant to be.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      In the U.S. Monday is Memorial Day. Do you celebrate and/or honor those who served?
