Ftm Hormone Therapy

Anyone know of any good website articles where I can learn more about the effects of going on the hormone therapy for FtM transition? I have yet to find a therapist but want to know as much as possible so I can make educated choices. Thanks for any help.

Carolyn is right on this - BOTH excellant sites. There are so many rumors on what HRT does - if you have questions after reading what to expect from those sites - please contact us. Lot of people here on HRT. I am 13 months on HRT and can tell you how it worked with me... but remember YMMV. Your Milage May Vary.

UPDATE: ooops FTM - sorry! I have a few friends on Facebook that are also in my GLBT group - they have been on T for a while. Let me know if you need some contacts

Another question I have... will HRT actually deepen my voice? My voice is annoyingly feminine and I sincerely hope I can find a way to change that...

Thanks Donna Jean, really appreciate that. I'd give up my girly voice to the highest bidder if I could lol

The high pitched ugly laughter and cutesy inflections... BLAH.

Oh, oh, I want it!

One of the cool things about a male voice is that you have more options. Basically, females are trapped with their voices but males only default to their voices and can make it sound female with practice. Ever seen that guy that sings both parts of Alladin's A Whole New World? Awesome.

And I see that you're from Chicago. You probably already know this, but I just found out that Howard Brown Health Center has great options for hormone therapy, and lots of transgender resources in general.

Im actually going to be attending some Howard Brown center and Center on Halsted events soon :)

I even found some other support groups that I am going to next month. I just got off the phone with some therapists and people who run groups and have way more insight and hope now. They all said the same thing, I sound intelligent and well infomred and positive and will succeed in this. Feels really good to have so much support :)

OH, And I am on the south side of Chicago. You're in Illinois as well I see. Would you be interested in joining a Chicago support group that I am organizing to offer the LGBTQ community support and friendship? Its mostly going to be an Interfaith meet n greet coffee and snacks social but I have hopes of expanding offerings such as workshops and classes on things such as wine making and crafts :) Just ways to get everyone together to experience life as a whole without prejudice or intollerance to be free to be oneself :)

Jo and JD, we're getting a bit off topic here. You guys can discuss Chicago doings via PM if you like.

You could start a new topic on whether New York or Chicago pizza is better, but then I don't want to

start a fight. :P

What I don't get is, if theres a chance to build support and a chance to discuss places where info can be found that I specifically had posted about in the FIRST place how is that off topic? That logic makes no sense. This is the HRT forum for effects, correct? Well, if one is SEEKING HRT and has a chance to discuss places they know of in a mutual home town that OFFERS these things and seek to make connections with people who UNDERSTAND the town Im in how is that off topic of my own thread? If you honestly want to eliminate the chance for Jo and I to discuss places that can help us find HRT support and options then please take down the entire thread and I won't post here again. I thought this forum wsa to discuss a common issue.

      Allow me to add that people should think twice about posting pictures of themselves, with the facial recognition software that is out there.  Those in stealth or who are not fully out may discover they are suddenly and unwillingly fully out in ways they wish had not happened.

      Funny how when i read the topic name i thought you were asking about the study of plants and animals.  I'm a bit into that as a farmer at va time when a cell phone makes plant  for insect identification easier than it has ever been.    Now on to your topic.  I don't farm in the nude.  I have wondered at whether i would skinny dip as i did as a kid without thought of how my body might affect others.  The effects of hormones makes me different from the average person and perhaps i'm "neither fish nor fowl".  I would certainly depend on who my fellow passengers on that cruise would be.   Hugs,   Charlize

      This is also a relatively small forum and it can take a long time, seemingly, for someone to get around to replying to a post.

      I am also pretty sure that several of them are folks who are "trans curious".  Sometimes folks who are trying to find their own identity, are attracted to trans folks or who are simply interested in the trans community.   There may also be some who wish to do us harm which is why ......... I've just learned to smile figuring "i'm on candid camera".   I'm sure many of our younger members never experienced that show so my age is showing.   Hugs,   Charlize

      Most of those "guests" are web bots from China, Indonesia, France etc. looking us over. They are mostly benign.  All they can see or gain access to are the general forums.  Members should be careful not to post anything that could readily identify themselves such as real names, addresses, phone numbers, etc. They do not have access to our gallery, blogs or private messenger. They seem to haunt all forums. Not just us. I should add that they can make us known across the internet. That's how prospective members find us. Google would be a good example.

      I hope he gets what he deserves.

      Heck I didn't even know they could go up that high! I just have a four burner and one to keep stuff warm. What kind of pies did you make?

      That's all the matters.   Well me and the wife rode to Perkins for breakfast. As we were waiting for our food. Being it is Sunday There are a few gentleman in suits, my guess from church. I think to myself. I hope I never have to wear one of those monkey suits ever again. Now a nice dress maybe.   Hugs,   Kymmie

      From time to time I've looked at 'Who Is Online" and I have consistently noticed that members are ALWAYS outnumbered by Guests by a wide margin, sometimes, like a minute ago, by more than a 10:1 margin.  I have never seen that before on an internet forum.  It can be explained partly by the nature of what this is, that it draws the curious and they are certainly welcome to read here, and to join, but it leaves me with a feeling of being in a fishbowl.  I wonder who ARE these people?  Donald Trump, is that you? Biden? Sinwar? Putin?  We can only guess.

      So from time to time my brain gets a hold of information and puts it together with other information in weird way that get me thinking. I was reading about a nudes cruise that they are running out if Miami. It got me thinking that a transgendered person who is also a naturalist, has to be one of the most unlucky people alive. How does one manage that and does that ever come up? Not trying to make fun here, just genuinely curious. Things that make you go hmmmm....

      No luck there, really. She's getting a signing bonus plus a little extra that I don't think would cover much in the way of the move, but it is something!   Oh my! I am glad to hear you're not passing anymore blood. I hope they figure it out soon! How distressing!   @April Marie @KymmieL @Mirrabooka @Willow @Justine76, thank you for the kind words and thoughts! We told our best friends last night. There were many tears. Now it's all about the work: selling the house (my wife's friend's son said he may want to buy it direct!), a job (a former employee of mine wants to bring me over to his company--and they're based outside of Tacoma!), and moving (just started going through what we don't want bring and donating things). So things have kicked off.   I'm not so sure of the job, it would be good to work with my former employee (he's great) but I fear the culture may not be super welcoming to someone like me--and the guy doesn't know I'm trans in any way. But I'll give it a shot as my authentic self and see what happens!

      @LadypcnjI'm sorry. I know the feeling my mom thinks I'm going through a phase too although I didn't come out till April 17, 2023, so it was later in life. I was in denial majority of my life. I would love to hear more about this if you are comfortable sharing more of it.

      I love fashion. I have over 100 dresses and 74 pairs of shoes. My walk-in closet is full of other clothes as well. I'm getting more shorts soon. SHEIN is awesome for quality and price. Just when you get a leather coat from them it's just the shell not the liner. Most of my shoes are from Torrid because I wear size 13 women's.
