So, I haven't been on hrt for very long, right at almost  3 weeks. My Dr. Started me on  spironolactone and  estradiol. The first week was kinda rough. By the second week I was getting used to the peeing every 10 minutes (it seemed) and actually feeling better but this last week has been rough. I physically feel ok, just kinda  tired at times but mentally I don't know whats going on. It seens im snapping at everyone over nothing really. Just really on edge or something. Im usually really "chill" at work and not really bothered by anything. Not lately though. My co-workers dont know anything about me going through transition but have told me to calm down and stop being so "bitchy" . I have read about the mood swings online but thought that it would be too soon for hrt to really be affecting anything. Is this normal and if so, how long will I be so up and down for?

your body will soon get used to it basically you are running on half power lol your body is losing its masculine muscle so you will feel a lot more tired and run down but when your body gets used to its new state you will feel a lot better i did anyway and the mood swings are spot on hun welcome to the world of emotions lol

Thanks so much. I guess I'll settle in for ride ride then. I guess I'll try to work on controlling these emotions if they're here to stay. I guess I didn't anticipate things happening so so fast. Im trying to hide my transition as long as possible but iim already slipping through. Oh well, im excited about my future now. Thanks girls! This place is great!

I had mood swings early but at this point i'm pleased to find a relatively even flow.  Whether that comes from becoming used to my feelings or because of acclamation to HRT.  I had a new appreciation for what females experience.

Peeing all the time was a nuisance.  Please make sure to keep drinking regardless.  

Our bodies and minds do get used to all the changes.

 

Hugs,

I have been on hrt for almost 2 months now and I have had a couple of episodes but nothing that was out of control. Just wanted to put in my 2 cents worth. Susan

Hello Ashlee:

 

I have to say that when I have started HRT and even now, It has made me alot more calmer, I used to be uptight, no emotions, and very very stressed out.  Now I am calm, relaxed, I have been crying for no reason at all, have been smiling and the big thing for me is that since coming out, I no longer stutter.  Yes, just sit back and enjoy the ride on the emotion coaster.  I love experiencing all the new emotions now and I have been on HRT Since January 2018.

 

Lots of Love

 

Amy.

I too was emotional at first but then things settled down.  Going to the bathroom all the time was frustrating but you get used to it.  Focus on why you're doing this!  Be aware of what is going on and control the unpleasantness your co-workers are seeing.  I'm sure its not the real you.  Three weeks is just the beginning so once you have some time on the meds you will be all right.

Ugh the crying. It just happens. I hate crying about commercials. I feel so stupid. Lol. 

Yeah like everyone says it’s all part of the “fun”. I’m just 4 months in now and every time I think I’ve got control of myself, another puppy commercial comes on and poof! 

Or even worse I have a friend that I used to hang out with all the time. Now every time I see him I go straight into bitch mode. His attitude just sets me off like crazy! And I’ve never had any issue with him before. 

Hormones are crazy. But it’s not too bad. Only sometimes. ??

      Only three, maybe four, sections even mention transgender.  Most is a conservative agenda I have no problem with.   In the sections that mention transgender, there are very few lines.  Those lines ARE problematic, in every case. Unequivocally.  I can't see some of them standing up in court.  In one case a recommended policy goes against a court decision, which strongly suggests the implementation of that policy would be stopped in court.    Anyone maintaining that this is written simply to support Trump, to support him becoming a dictator, to crush transgender people is feeding you a line.  Nor is it an attempt to erase transgender people.   People will have to decide if the overall goals are worth the few problematic statements.  Overall, I support it.  Of course, I have some reservations.

      It is unfamiliar, therefore threatening.   For 90% or so of the population, gender id can be simply and quickly determined by a quick anatomical observation.  They have no understanding and cannot imagine what it would mean to have a body different from the id.  It is unimaginable.  Therefore, wrong.   So there is this strong headwind.   I haven't entered this discussion, but here is a script: A: I can't imagine what it must be to have TG. B: You're a man, right? A: Well, of course. "amused" B: Imagine you were required by law and custom to wear women's clothing all the time. A: It wouldn't happen. B: Okay, but for the sake of the argument... A: That would be disgusting.  I would be very uncomfortable. B: You have it.  That is what TG people go through all the time. 24-7-365. A: Really? B: And then they are told they are perverts for having those feelings.  The same you just described. A: I see. B: And someone comes along and tells you you need conversion therapy so you will be comfortable wearing women's clothing all the time. A: I think I would break his nose. B: You understand transgender folk better than you think.

      I have found some people correlate TG = child predator ... just as some have correlated homosexual = child predator...    I am baffled by the TG = unsafe connection ... my wife tends to think this way, that this is all about sexual deviancy ... I try to ask how my preference for wearing frilly socks with embroidered flowers and a comfortable camisole under my lavender T-shirts is sexually deviant (or sexual anything) but I don't get very far...

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at.

      Other than the Boy Scout motto, oath, and law. I use two:   When asked how I'm doing? In all honesty I reply. I would have to make something up to complain. If asked to explain further: I reply. I know someone is having a tougher time than I am, and I pray God blesses them.   I also recite this quote that I have tagged in my signature: Courage, doesn't always roar. Sometimes it's the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."-Unknown    Saying these things daily keep me motivated.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      If this goes on, I am conceding the real possibility of being stopped in WM or somewhere by a concerned citizen who tells me, "Lady, God made you female.  I don't think you should be trying to look like a man. You need to return to your true gender and be comfortable living your life out as a woman."   Begin odd and awkward conversation.  I have been thinking about this this morning.

      There are many MAGA GOP types who are not transphobes, of course. Some MAGA GOP types are transgender.

      I'm hoping to read the next section today.  Many of the reforms they are calling for are good, such as expediting the military procurement process, and have nothing to do with transgender issues.

      Good afternoon,    I have a young friend who is vegetarian and married to a full on meat eater. They have two areas of their grill clearly designated for their different cooking requirements. When she’s cooking she uses tongs or chopsticks to handle any meats. When he’s cooking he respects her request not to cook her meals on the side where meat has been. They get along fine and respect each other.    When she attends our house, she usually brings her own food, but knows I will clean my grill to meet her requirements. We love and respect her commitment to be vegetarian. I love that she trusts me to make her comfortable when visiting us. There are ways to make it work.    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
