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…

 

According to my Endo, progesterone is kind of a crapshoot. It helps some girls, it doesn't help others and the effects are not well documented. I can't say for sure if it's helping me one way or another, but I feel more like myself with a system full of progesterone so I'm sticking with it.

 

Hugs!

Jackie,

    Does progesterone make you sleep like a vampire under a castle at noon-day?   I get 8hrs of sleep in about 5 hrs and a tree would have to fall on the house to wake me up.    Estrogen puts me in girl puberty, but adding  Progesterone seems to add a big, soft, wonderful, ---lazy---aura around me.   I'm always a bit behind on my chores, but I don't seem to be concerned about it much.

Yes. Always take your progesterone at night. I've got MAYBE an hour after I take it before I'm OUT. Absolutely makes me more languid too. I can get stuff done, but the urgency is generally gone. Well, mostly gone, I've got an overactive punctuality gland. Definitely easier to fall asleep though. If I'm not doing something, my brain goes, "Great! Sleep now?"

 

Of course I slept like a corpse before too.

 

Hugs!

Jandi I have been told by my doctor that trans-medication is a new field and that in the last 10 years many things have changed and are changing all the time as new information is compiled.   Also trans-women are far more complex and unique with massive differences between them.   You can't blanket-treat them as a group and HRT needs to be in their personal Goldie-locks zone.   I've changed doctors a couple times to find someone who is up to date, but safe.

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.

I don't know how healthy it is to keep going back to Snapchat filters, but I want to look like that so bad.

Only had 30 minutes with my makeup tonight. Sad, but there's always the weekend.

Not healthy, I stopped because I will never attain what filters will do.  BUT, your eyes aren't far off. But since the face/lips aren't done as much, it looks imbalanced.

To be honest, I don't understand makeup.  I have some I was gifted, but no idea what to do with it.  One of my daughters put some on me once, but I thought it looked like shyte - looked like a corpse.

But then I am kinda old anyway.

Filters have their place and they are a fun way to study how make up works.

I still have good and bad make up days.

Can be frustrating to have to start all over again several times because you messed up.

Its a learning curve indeed.

@Teri Annelike when your eye shadow is done and oops, thank you mascara, let's do this all over again.

 

Yeah the filters I know aren't accurate, but it's like being able to preview what I could look like in the future and it not actually looking like someone else's face.

I agree

I spent tons of hours on YT trying to learn all I could about make up and probably spent 1,000 on make up just learning.

My go to is how my wife showed me she does her eyes. I still haven't even got close to mastering contouring, lol. 

Link to comment

I'm still experimenting with contouring  all these years being full time.

Will I ever understand it all ? Nope not a chance.

Mary Kay as an app where you can pick out the various products and do a makeover using your pic. No filters per se, just "adds" the products in a way that it's supposed to be done. Pretty cool

I HATE shoe shopping in stores. It always makes me feel dysphoric. None of the shops around here (and a lot online too) stock size sasquatch.

 

As for that dress... That's going to look awesome after your BA. Good find!

That’s a nice dress. I have one of similar length that I love.

Thankfully I seem to be shrinking already. I was 6'2" with a size 13 in men's shoes in high school. I remeasured when my oldest got taller than me and now I'm like 6' even and can comfortably fit in a size 10 shoe. 

 

That dress looks awesome.

      Over here muttering about "a new Jim Crow against a persecuted minority."

      Rants are not a problem.  My favorite hobby! :)   What's out there is bad enough that I wonder why some people feel they need to embellish it.  Be alert.   Some of this will need to be fought in court if they try to implement it. If people are out to get me, paranoia is justified.  And this may not be the only document.   Abby
    • Ivy
      Not in so many words, therefore it's not there at all.  Excuse my paranoia. And the states passing laws against us are nothing to worry about either. Having to change my gender back to male (like in Florida) is reasonable.  I should just accept it, I mean I was born with a dk.  So that "F" is lie, and a fraud.  My delusions need to be dealt with for my own good.   I'm just frustrated these days.  Just a bit of a rant.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      You probably remember the Target PR fiasco.  I remember reading an account from a woman who shopped there.  She went into a stall and did her business, and someone came into the bathroom and began swinging stall doors open, and when she came to her stall, the woman peeked at her through the crack. "What are you doing?" "Checking for perverts." The writer was so stunned by the absurdity that she finished up ASAP and got out of there, while the other woman entered a stall and locked it, made sure it was locked, and locked it again.

      Nothing about eradicating TG folk. 
    • Ivy
      If 9 out of 10 parts are ok, that doesn't mean I need to accept the bad parts (that are aimed directly at me).  That seems suicidal.
    • Ivy
      True, most of it has nothing to do directly with us.  It's the parts that do that are the problem.   I see the  few problematic statements as being a big problem.  Just because a lot of it may be okay, doesn't change that. Even supposing the rest of it might be good for the country, it doesn't help me if I'm being "eradicated".  I suppose I should be good with that, because it's for the "greater good".  If me being gone would please a number of people, then it's my civic duty to disappear, and vote to implement that.
    • Ivy
      Yeah.  There are already laws against assault.  I don't think the overwhelming majority of trans women have any desire to harass cis women.  Speaking for myself, if I go into a women's washroom, it's because my eyeballs are already floating - not for kicks.  And I worry about getting clocked and assaulted by some guy being a "hero."
    • Abigail Genevieve
      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.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      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...

      Best wishes to you as you take this step ... many blessings to you!

      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.
