@Jackie C.Lol you're precious. I love intricate designs and bright colors. My family keeps telling me I have the clothing taste of an old grandma. I don't know how I feel about that but yeah I'll rock those granny cuts.

Alice wear what makes you happy thats what I do.

I had a lady in a thrift store tell me I was too big to be wearing tight low cut jeans so I told her thanks for the input I'll remember that next time I wear them.

@Elizabeth Staryou rocked that dress girl!  Love your nails too. Now, if I could only get you to wear a pair of pumps with that dress LOL

 

Alice- be u, be happy. Some of that retro grandma stuff rocks.

 

today was errands all day and a lot of driving in the convertible so wanted to get a bit more sun higher up on the legs so wore these cute shorts and a racerback tank I got from the dive boat on my last scuba trip.  My face is as untouched/unfiltered as they come because I just got back from an electrolysis visit.

It's summer, and I couldn't wait to wear this dress I bought while I was away as Niamh last week. the only problem is that the left hand strap keep falling down my arm - which is not great while on video conferences!

I like that. I mean I like my pink one better naturally, but I like it. Maybe a strap in the back to turn it into a pseudo-racerback? The only other thing you could do was slowly slide the strap over your shoulder and lick your lips. Also not appropriate for a work meeting (I assume anyway, I've never worked across the pond).

 

Hugs!

I really like that on you, and great shoe choice with it.

Some straps just do that and it can be annoying.

Some bras I have do that no matter how I adjust the straps.

I hate that. Some solutions are racerbacks and you can get these... Bra Clips. You might need to extend your straps a little though depending on how big your shoulders are. I know *I* have a problem with that.

bras can be a real pain. my boobs are not too large so i can usually get away with not wearing a bra. while many of you may wish for big boobs i'm happy with my little nubbins. lol :)

You got more than *I* do April. ?

 

I'm with you though. I'd love a visit from the boob fairy, BUT unless I need to run (like I'm working, I might have to move RAPIDLY and it's not comfy without support), I usually just let them free-range unless it's a special occasion, then the shaping that a nice bra does is very helpful.

A strange thing - since I complained about the dress straps this morning, it seems to have all sorted itself out and apart from having to do some adjustments in the Teams meetings I've not had to respond to a falling strap since! Perhaps it was just a subconscious desire to reflect fashion issues that women experience! :)

DITTO!

      I did drive my Dodge dually  to town the other day and my partner and I decided we better wear bras.   As soon as we got back to the farm, off they came.    Like rafting, you put your PFD on just before the bad rapids and take it off as soon as you reach calmer water.

I can't wait to see where I fall in the boob range on hrt. I don't expect much though, my mom was washboard flat until she had implants.

That’s a comparison I never thought of…

BRAS and PFD 

 

I’m not sure what will happen with my breast development, as a late in life transition. My mother, baby sister, and daughter all have very large breast. 
 

Now I have to ask if they make PFDs with pleats or cup room for ladies?

 

Always learning,

My Mom had large breasts so with the help of HRT and genetics I ended up with some good sized ones.

Lets say I would love to have smaller ones.

Not saying I don't like my boobs mind you.

From the pics you've posted (in clothing of course) I think your boobs are gorgeous ;)

After a year of HRT I don't fill an "a" cup. lol.  So- BA for me in 60 day!.  The image of me that I always dreamed of had ample but not obscene breasts , so by HRT or BA I will have those by goddess!  I just saw a pic a friend posted of herself and I realized her body shape is exactly how I see myself when i close my eyes. This is the body I'm trying to achieve through HRT, exercise, diet and surgery.  I think I've achieved as much as I can without the help of a BA.

You never know!    My Mother and Sisters are in the D cup range.   

 

   5 years ago I found a trans-friendly primary, but he just put me on spironolactone and oral estradiol.   He never paid any attention to what I had to start with.   Only one nut and really low T, plus my urologist had me on finasteride, and lastly, my body is an estrone factory.    When nothing worked, he just upped the doses.   I finally found a wonderful Endo who dumped all my old meds and put me on EV mono-therapy and progesterone.   I've been happily progressing on all fronts ever since.   Last Spring she doubled my progesterone and basically doubled my growth.   I totally fill a 44B bra and you know the saying "sore boob = more boob".   I am 68yrs old and in my 6th year of transition.   The comments about boob growth running out in a couple years and old people don't transition as well isn't always true.  My main goal  in transitioning was always happiness, and I have a 44Happiness self now.

PS,   I haven't tried on a PFD this year.   I bet it will feel uncomfortable.

Oh God, I'm hoping more for the ittybitty range. I already had one done surgery, lol.

We had an event at work today. It felt really nice to dress up. Sadly, I was the only one who did. I know I've worn this dress before but not with this hair.

That is looking very nice!!!

Thank you Willow,

 

It is the big picture of happiness we hope for, through transition. I’m happy with the slow and steady approach, because the subtle changes should allow my Suzie adjustment time.

When I bring this up with my endo, he points to a stack of papers and says it's not in the guidelines.  I was on it with no E in the past at another clinic.  I still have some of the old pills and I keep wondering…

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.

      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.

      Good evening @Ashley0616,   I just got offline with HP tech support trying to get my printer tool box icon locked to my tool bar. This is one of the most important features of my printer that I like because it keeps track of ink, paper, and scanned documents. I'm diffidently not a computer geek.   I'll catch up with the other bookmarks next week. We leave to go home for the Easter Holiday with our families. Saturday with her side, and Sunday with my side. What's odd about that is I'm out to more of her side and they're reluctantly supportive. My side on the other hand are less supportive, and my sister just under me in age will not acknowledge my being there. She will be constantly moving to keep from dealing with me. I'm dead to her.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I used to follow baseball and the team I would cheer for is Boston Red Sox. My favorite player was Papi. He was an awesome guy and even held a child during the National Anthem. I haven't watched baseball for a long time. It just died off to me. 
    • Ashley0616
      That stinks that nothing transferred, and no bookmarks were saved!

      I'm doing patches for now but I think soon I'll go to shots because it's hard to alternate when you are doing two xx patches at once. Unless she gives me Estradiol and progesterone

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      The number is relative to method of deliver, the time of the dose, and when the blood is drawn. However, I do want to keep away from DVT and other potential issues. I assume I may be getting backed down from my current dose, but my doc told me to stick with the higher dose, so? I also wonder if this has anything to do the my breast growth and mental changes that have been happening over the past few years, like I have some estrogen sensitivity so a little goes a long way or something? I don't have enough data to postulate, but who knows!   With weekly, subcutaneous, shots you expect to see big swings of serum level estradiol from shot to peak to trough. My doctor is interested in mid-week testing (for E and T levels only), which would be post-peak blood serum levels but they will be higher than trough. Most, if not all, resources I've seen online is to measure at trough (which I might do just to do it next time) along with a SHBG, LH, and other metrics.   This is from transfemscience.org for Estradiol valerate in oil, which is very spiky compared to some other estradiol combinations. It's also for intramuscular, which will have a slower uptake and is usually dosed in higher volume due to the slower absorption rate from muscles. They don't have subcutaneous numbers, which I would expect to see similar spikes but higher levels at similar doses due to the relatively higher absorption rate direct from fat.   Are you doing pills, shots, or patches? And when you do get your levels checked are you getting that done when your levels are lowest or some other time?
