Mtf Hrt And Heart Disease


Guest Virginia_

Recommended Posts

Guest nymphblossom

I have a strong family history of heart disease and am extremely concerned that HRT may increase my risk. I have seen some research indicating a DECREASED risk for MTF's on estrogen which would be absolutely fantastic.

I am 48 and have done everything I can possibly think of to reduce my risk my whole life. I do not have any known heart problems, am thin, in good physical shape, eat right, exercise, regimen aspirin & Omega3's, a beer a day, non smoker and had a clean nuclear treadmill a few years ago. If HRT is going to increase my risk, it would be a very disppointing show stopper for me. Does anyone have iny information on this?

The best advice I can give is to ask your doctor. I'm not aware of a transgender study but could be wrong. We have had some with heart disease here es[ecially severe cases who were taken off hormones. In any case have a doctor monitor you.

That is one thing that I fear.....

Probably irrationally, if the doctor were to find a heart problem in me and have to take me off hormones....I don't think I could bear that.

To be stuck partially transitioned...OMG...that scares me!

Like a bad transporter accident!

So, take good care of yourself and eat healthy and put down those Twinkies!

Love!

      My kitty has a litter box, which she uses on occasion.  But she prefers to make me get up to led her out. I could install a "cat door" but I'm afraid it would be used more by the possums and raccoons.  I have had possums in the house more than once - even without one.

      I read it on medium.  I have an account but I don't remember paying that much for it.  Sorry.

      Good morning everyone,   It was our first night with our European Boxer and it went well. We got up at 05:30 let him out of the cage and went directly outside to give him a chance to go potty. It has been raining for two days and nights so the grass is soaked and nearly up to his belly. I don’t think he’s ever been outside while it’s raining or wet. I had my rain jacket on and a big brimmed hat as well as rain boots, he just stayed at my feet no matter where we went in the yard. I took him to the previous locations where out daughter’s dog had gone poo, but he just sat at my feet. Once inside and drying him off with a towel. He took a poo right there. So I gathered up his mess, and took him and his poo outside. So right now it’s dog one, trainer zero. Now that the coffee is brewed and I have a cup, he’s chewing on a toy.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Strange that I awoke from a dream dreaming about "being able to pee standing up!"   I know that sounds strange from someone AMAB, but intersex issues have always prevented that.    I wonder what made me dream like that? That was a first! 🤔

      Morning y'all.    Nearly winter here, but it's a mild climate compared to what most of you experience. Even so, the best way to describe the mornings lately is...nipply! 😁

      What I don’t like about the dealer working on my car, yes the put the paper mats on the floor, but why don’t they remove them when they bring my car to me?  And why do they always mess with my radio settings and my electronic dashboard settings?  I get them the way I want them and they seem to want them at factory default.  Leave things like you find them!  Why is that so difficult?  And don’t tell me it’s because the updated the computer! Every time!.  And no I haven’t figured out everything yet on the new car.  I can’t even get my key programmed to move my seat when I get in and out.  It’s supposed to move the seat, the mirrors, the steering wheel and several other things.  My old Eddie Bauer was easy to program but then it only programmed seat location and pedal location.   ok now that we’ve had our rousing knock on cars and dealer mechanics.  What else shall we talk about?  Bras?  Seems like an appropriate subject for most of us.  I have several different types. Two are famous store push-up padded to are more common everyday lightly padded ant one is a no padding no strap slip and the last one is a front close longline no padding.  Now that one supports the theory that I am now a B cup on my own. I’d prefer a C but then I’m not so sure my blouses would still fit without pulling.  Ah the problem we have as women.  And sizes are never ever the same.  Oh I’m a size ??  But men I need a large shirt and 36-30 pants and they always fit.   we can’t buy anything off the rack with confidence it will fit and I hate having to take it home to try one and return what doesn’t fit.   we’ll time to do my hair and leave.   love ya   Willow
