Thank Goodness for HRT

Today was not one of my better days....seems like everything I touched went south. A van I wanted to sell replaced the battery yesterday and the guy at Advanced Auto - arc it and blew out a computer which costs more then it's worth, my wife's best friend who lives in Germany was admitted to a hospital with anxiety and depression issues, the sirius radio onyx EZR that I had to buy to keep getting the station - started out ok today then turned south and...I think you get the point.

 

I am soooooooooooooo happy I am on HRT because even with just a month, I am calm and collected and not letting it worry me in the least and that feels good. 

 

AND I am so glad to hear that Kylie is doing so well after her final surgery to become the total physical woman she deserves to be and it brings tears of joy to my ears that she has made it and I'm so happy for her. 

 

I'm sorry if I ranted a little - needed to let it out - but with the bad came the good and I am happy to be moving forward as this is certainly not going to be the worst day I've faced but a much easier one thanks to the E finally coursing through me.

Hi Heather, you sound like you are taking things in stride, even though these events were not all that pleasant, I think a cooler head prevails after HRT (my take). Hope tomorrow is a better day for ya. I do like Sirius XM radio / streaming and keep the service here, lot's of music found there. You can stream their content to your computer / phone if you'd like too (you probably know that).

 

Hugs and take care.

Heather I am sooo sorry to read of your bad day.  I am glad you are alright though and taking it in stride.  Life is short and some days it doesn't pay to get up but we never know that when our feet hit the floor.  I do agree that E has made me calmer too.  

 

Was Advanced Auto able to do anything for you to make amends?

 

Hugs, Jani

Thank you ladies.  Cyndee nope I'm not that smart about Sirius I like it in the car. Jani a mechanic friend said to have the service guy take off cables and hold together then retry computers may reset. Worth a try and Timber wolf lady...thank you. Ok you have already meant so much to me by telling me about the Living With Wolves with my boy Kamots

What a bummer or rather a series of bummers.  Sorry.  I also have found that HRT has improved my ability to handle stress and anger.  It's still there but i'm not nearly as ready to kick butt.

 

Hugs,

I hate to hear the series of unfortunate events. I really hope you can put the bad events behind and grow from them.

@Kylie I am doing fine. and thank you. I admire you and can't wait to be able to have my hrs. You are amazing and to think you are reaching out to me when you are only days from having major surgery. That says just how loving a woman you are. Heal quickly and say hello to your kitty for me when you go home.

      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one.

      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.
    • Ashley0616
      I don't see why not. I have worn forms since I came out. 
    • MaeBe
      I have never worn breastforms, but I assume as long as they don't aggravate your nipples you could.

      Every week I've been excited to take my shot, so it's never been an issue. Yesterday, however, I woke up and started my usual "slow roll" and then suddenly realized I had breakfast plans that I had to rush out the door for. After, it was straight into work calls, and then I got the notification from the doctor about things being too high and all the while my mind had completely slipped that I needed take my shot.   Given that I am not asking for medical advice, but sharing my journey, I will note my results: Estradiol at 447 pg/mL and Testosterone was 23 ng/dL, up and down from 26 pg/mL and 526 ng/dL respectively before treatment. Almost flipped the bit! The doc would like my Estradiol closer to 300 pg/mL, so we'll see what Monday's tests state.   Oh, and I teased the dinner with old soccer teammates and never updated the thread! It went well. There were a couple funny moments. One guy, who I was worried about their response, greeted me with "Hey, you've lost some weight!" 😎 And a friend who lives near me picked me up on the way to dinner exclaimed, after we learned one of the invitees might show up with a date, "Wait! We could have brought women?!" To which I instantly responded, "You kind of did, bringing me!" Everyone got a good laugh out of that. 😁

      To me there isn't that much difference other the measurement, which side the zipper is on and men's pants have bigger pockets. 
    • missyjo
      I hope this is not stupid question..I have yet to start n not sure if doc will approve..but once you start growing buds n such, can you still wear forms to get to the size you were?   I'm a dad, so when I start blossoms they will be smaller for a long time n probably need surgical augmented..that's fine. I don't want to go ddd to aa to ddd..   any ideas?   thank you

      April sounds fun..I keep some boy jeans to visit mom in..fir now   hugs

      I like them too.  We had them growing up.  But my father's family were Swedes.
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Oh my!  I guess it just goes to show how different tastes can be. Since we don't live near the ocean, Seafood is a rare luxury. We absolutely love pickled herring! Especially my husband and my GF, I guess it's a Ferman/Russian cultural thing.  But most of the kids like it too, and a jar wouldn't last in the pantry for long 😆
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      I think the key to that is just not minding eating the same thing repeatedly. Since we produce a lot of our own food here, we end up eating what is in season at the moment. So, when the yellow squash is ripening, we end up fixing squash 20 different ways. When the strawberries are ready, we eat lots of strawberries. It's kind of a different mindset to eat in season when it has become such a part of American culture but the grocery store has everything we want all the time. Like grapes in December.  My family does even things out a little bit by having a greenhouse so we have some fresh things in the winter, but it's not a 100% fix.

      My brothers and I had to eat what was on the plate.  All of it, and nothing else.  Pickiness was not tolerated.  Some of our least favourite were liver and onions, sauerkraut, and especially rollmops (pickled herring).  We finally protested enough to persuade our mother not to serve rollmops, though she kept a jar in the pantry for years afterwards, as a threat if we didn't behave.

      I'll go first.  My favorite team is the Yankees.  Loved them since I was a kid.  I was born in NYC so, yeah.  I know everyone loves to hate them, and that's OK.  I just love baseball in general.  It's a game of traditions, strategy, power, grace and skill.   Play Ball!!  ⚾   Carolyn Marie

      I guess you do have a good point. It's just hard to try and not have the same meals over and over again.

      Hi   I’ll weigh in on being picky about food.  Yes, and I was brought up that way.  We didn’t have to eat everything our parents ate.  They had a number of things they ate that they figured we wouldn’t eat, an acquired taste things or one or the other didn’t like them too.   even as an adult there are many things I won’t eat.  In my defense, there are different things my wife won’t eat.   the weird thing is that after being in E, my tastes have changed.  Sweet, sour, salty or bland, if I eat or drink too much of any one thing and I have to counter act it.   Willow
