I am going to talk to my GT of course just curious, for MTF are there hormones that can start the mental changes, calmness I keep hearing about but not significantly grow the breasts? If I just got on a T blocker for now, does that affect the mind? I guess just the knowledge that the T isnt in my body would do something to my mind. I am trying to go slow for my wife but want to get as much help as I can.

Yes a T blocker will have some effect on the mind. Some effects can be expected such as lower libido. Calmness I don't know. That could be a combination.

Now will just going on a T blocker keep breasts from growing since there is no E? Well there is some E in biological males so without T it could have an effect in theory.

All questions for your doc.

Amanda,

Hmmm...

Well, I think Drea hit the nail on the head here...

All I can add is this:

When I had my pre-HRT hormone levels checked I found out that my testosterone was WAY high for a person of my age. Heck, it was as high as many twenty year olds and I am over half a century old. My constant erections were a clue, but I had no idea that I was 'super-charged' with T...

If I had only taken Spiro, I am certain that I would have gained some calmness and peace, and had I not been intersexed the low-dose E might have not started my boobies growing at such an alarming rate.

Fact is, many T-gals on higher dosages don't show significant growth for quite a while after starting HRT, but I do understand your concern. Had I known I was gonna grow so fast, I may very well have chosen to wait some more before starting HRT. I am soooo glad I did gom ahead with it, as the consequences have not proven to be the deal-breaker that my spouse said they would be. In fact, my spouse mentioned to me last night that my boobies were now a bit bigger than hers! She wasn't upset that I had boobies, rather upset that hers weren't as big as mine, lol...

Over time, I am seeing the adjustments in her that bode well for our longterm success as a couple. I have my fingers crossed and my eyes wide open...

Best of luck to you as you move forward!

Love, Svenna

Boobs can definitely grow with just a T blocker. I can attest to that. And they become sensitive! Wow. It all depends on what your body does with the estrogen in there and how much you have.

Absolutely!

Evert one (male & female ) has both estrogen and testosterone in their body......

Depending on many things, if one hormone is suppressed, the other can have effects on you physically...

See the doctor!

I am going to talk to my therapist on thursday about it, and also get some names for transgender friendly GP doctors for me to use for my check ups and things. I was just wondering. I would like to start taking something but honor one of the requests of my wife. She didnt want me to do anything to change my outward appearance. Dont get me wrong, I didnt promise her anything I just told her I would try. And that is what I am doing.

I also want to talk to the doctor about how the hormones actually help the mental state of transgender people.

Sometimes in life we have jobs family spouses or other commitments in life, we know inside we aren't normal, stuff quite syncing and we want help. We don't want to rock the boat. I can see how wanting the calming affect and wanting to try and have no outward appearance to keep your wife happy, less stressed. Less stress in your life with changes too. Let us know how things work out for you.

I really try patience but it is hard. I now know what has been wrong and I want it fixed now. I have to give it some time. I got a support group this weekend and I am hoping I find some people I can click with and finally have someone to talk to. I think that will help greatly. Also I am going to a friend's house next weekend. Him and his wife know and I will be able to let myself go over there. Maybe that will help me get over the "Fix it now" thoughts. I would really like to wait till later in the summer before I have to make a decision about hormones that can change my body.

      What's Cookin'?

      By awkward-yet-sweet · Posted

      We had soup and steamed rice for dinner tonight.  Simple, basic, feed-a-ton-of-people kind of food.  With strawberries for dessert!  We have a huge strawberry patch, so I spent a couple of hours this afternoon picking.  And there's some left over, which I put in the downstairs kitchenette.  Time for a late night snack!     Outside of meals, I mostly live by nibbling on fruit and a few green things.

      Well, it is officially summer.  85 degrees outside the last two days, and GF is sick and irritable.  I have to curl up under heavy blankets in my nest, because she's got the AC turned down to the point I expect to see icicles growing on the ceiling.  This is what life is like when your partner is an arctic creature. I should be used to it by now, but just when I think its nice and warm, she has to freeze me.

      Well, that might be interesting.  At least since she's 24, its not like you're on the hook for expenses.

      Been using the wok on the back deck a lot the last few months.  Just got another stock of udon noodles from Amazon and we are using those in the stir fry with onions, peppers and a spicy peanut sauce.  I did this often in the 90's too, but back then I was just using a standard Coleman camp stove instead of this high BTU wok burner.  I've had the burner for a couple years, but haven't been using it regularly until recently.

      I’m a lefty. Learned to be a bit ambidextrous for certain tools that assume right handedness like scissors, but couldn’t write with my right hand to save my life.

      Tangent, adjacent, opposite...  It's still rock n' roll to me.  I don't know about the "in god we trust" part of the money, but I like the lady with the scale.  And then I look left at the Indian statue on my mantel of Guanyin feeding a drop of liquid to the dragon at her feet.  In god we trust?  The lady with the scale?  Maybe this is too binary.  And then on the other side of Guanyin is that kind of pelican wood bird that sits two feet tall that I hauled back from South America through the Panama canal.  The beak broke in 1998 and I carefully saved the pieces (as I usually do) and attached them back about a decade ago.  I used a drill to make a small hole and then put a finish nail in there.  Then a hole on those two pieces that needed to be attached.  Upper and Lower beak.  There is still a seam showing.  I could cover that up, but the beak is a bright yellow and well, it's better with all the pieces in place and I don't mind seeing the crack.  I guess that is the tangent and the other two are the opposite and adjacent. -money  Why don't coders always code the "-" action in their search fields?  It's not that difficult!

      @April Marie Yes, it's something to shop for at least for 6-8 weeks.

      Definitely points to learn and keep in mind.  A bunch of stuff I had put in mental "cold storage" thawed out a bit there and ready again to run through my mill.  As said, a bit long and as usual from her a tad bit challenging.  Overall I see it and can use it as a working hypothesis.
