Funny how the itching persisted.

First, Thanks you!! I had itching, but for me that was from the healing, hair from growing back, and moisture from the surgery, Baby powder worked wonders for me. 

Oh the new freedom is a dream come true. It helps me everyday. Thanks, I still have to wait a month for my 6 month. I’m going to check with my doctor to see if I can get it a week before my appointment, so it will be Ready to go over during the Appointment.

Ellora,

You are a great saleswoman for orchie.  You've made me want to get one, and I'm not even on lady meds yet.

And I have been told keeping all that stuff makes the surgery easier. (Think that depends on the surgeon) 

Thank you!! Everyone that I have spoken to says that the full bottom surgery is easier if the Orchie has already been done. One big thing is the healing is faster if it’s been done already. I just had to tell my surgeon that I planned on having the rest of my bottom surgery done on a later date, so they leave enough skin for the lady area. Maybe you should get a second opinion? Plus no more T ! Which means no more spiro, no T to interfere with the E and progesterone! Knowing those things are gone is the best.

Thanks again!

Awww, thanks! Seriously tho! You should look into getting one, at least continue to do the research if you’re planning to do the Lady Meds. Spiro is bad for the body, so having it done would help in so many ways. It’s out patient surgery, and I went home after I could walk to the bathroom and urinated, which I did as soon as I woke up after I woke up in recovery. Allow yourself a couple of days relaxing and frozen peas. I actually drove my car about 24-48hrs later. No heavy lifting for several weeks.

There are so many benefits!

Yeah my surgeon told me to hold off if I could. The extra skin staying stretched makes the creation of the “parts” easier. Less chance of needing to get tissue from somewhere else. I want my full 7” and labia with no issues. I think if it was close to the surgery and I could have my gcs surgeon do the procedure I’d think of it, but not going to Az for an orchie. Lol.

Idk how it would mean longer healing because the orchie is such an easy surgery, but maybe. Idk. I think it’s the first step in the gcs surgery actually as well.

Okay so apparently they can do an orchiectomy from above too!! This leaves no scar tissue below allowing all of that tissue to be used for future surgeries. I may be making calls soon!! 

Ellora thanks for posting this today. You are now possibly the vehicle that got me to this stop! ?

Yay! Very Happy to help you with your Journey! 

I dont know how much of the tissue is scarred, but I dont think its too much. They pretty much left enough/ a lot for them to work with in the future, But I am glad that you received info that will help what you want =)!

Today was my 6 month visit! Very Happy , great visit! My Doctor Upped my Estradiol from xmg to xmg!! This makes me veeeery happy! In two months i will do another E test, and hopefully I can get good test results. Im not looking for anything drastic, just improvement. Im am happy about the changes physically and mentally, so it will be good news anyway im sure. 

My Doctor made a referral for a voice therapist, so i will be calling them soon, it wont hurt to check that out.

Great news Ellora!  Happy to hear things are heading in a good direction. 

I had forgotten we were going to discuss upping my lady meds, and she brought it up as a question, and if i remembered  we were talking about it. She asked me if I still wanted to up my meds, and I smiled and said YES! I am going to be happy no matter the dosage, cause im super happy Im on it period. So to double the dosage, is great! Im super interested to see how my body reacts. Plus in two months we will do another reading, so thats exciting.

      My mom has been more accepting of me being trans lately and even promised i could get a binder if i pay with my own money. The preferred name is still an issue. So far my mom, close friends and brother know i identify as trans but no one else does. I recently told mr grandparents about my partner and explaines the perferred name as a nickname they prefer to have. Luckily everyone who knows is accepting but i feel like i still have so much progress to make. Started getting more uncomfortbale being reffered to as my deadname and she/her in public. My therapist is getting me a trans pin for my birthday next time I see her. I have hop but sometimes I feel like the goal is so far. HRT and top surgery are things i know i want but there has been warnings given to me about the problems that come with it from the ones that have accepted me and I trust most. Mainly from the adults in my life that know, also been getting nervous many people dont see me as a man but i also go to an all girl school. being consistenly reffered to as women has started to get to me and have had urge on several occasions to write perferred name on paper. i dont think pereffered name can go into school system due to being catholic school and for graduation diploma we have to contact the person in charge and ask. I just need some advice on what to do, I am thank ful for the advice everyone had given me, made me feel better about future and hope that I can transition but also worry about familial ties and affect. due to most f them being born in the 80's and 90's and not taking it well originally mostly based on my moms reaction. I love my family alot but how they might react is scaring me. my mom still donesnt want them to know. I know they love me but when I eventually come out and medically trasition in several years hopefully, what will happen? there are little kids in the family and I already dont see them a lot, how would their parents react? what would they say to the kids? I know my aunt would not take it well due to political belief and warnings from cousins.

      Maybe.  But they'd probably resent being required to do it.   IDK.  You have to show ID to register already.  And you have to be registered to vote.

      Hah! Woke up the Red Scare!   I’ve never read Marx. I tend to believe in the inherent goodness in people. I let their words and deeds change that. Insisting people are immoral/less than/should not exist, stripping them (or keeping them from) human rights, is an a most basic example of true evil. What evils do LGBTQ+ people present simply existing? How does the Right justify their crusade against us? What justifies the manufactured fear and loathing they spout every day about us?

      Congrats on the new addition @Ivy I have the opposite I have 4 grandson and a granddaughter. 3 of whom are visiting this weekend. I am feeling better. I think the biggest thing is that I got some much needed sleep.   Well gotta go and speed sometime with the grandsons.   Kymmie

      I saw this concert in which it is said that the famous phrase of Jon Landau "I saw the future of rock and roll and his name is Bruce Springsteen" comes from that night. By the way Bruce opened for Bonnie Raitt that night and she was the better performer . . . just sayin'.

      Astronomy and astrophotography.  I have done a few public presentations on the subject and could most likely wing it for an hour without putting you to sleep.   On the other hand if you need a sleeping pill, I could also talk for an hour about flying and you'd be out cold.

      Please consider joining us, even if it's just for a few minutes to see what the meetings are like. I've learned so much, had so much fun and gained confidence in myself just by being a part of this amazing group of people. It's a low key, no pressure, non-judgmental chance to just be among people who are supportive, understanding and affirming of each other.    I'm travelling out of state and still planning on dropping in for awhile.    Come see what it's like!! 
    • April Marie
      Thank you, Susan!! It was such an amazing experience for me. I can't remember if I even talked about it on a Zoom meeting.   Here is the link to the post I made about it. And, again, thank you for helping to give me the courage to do it.
