Weak/Strong Time of Month?


Guest Talon

Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

I have a question for you. I am pre-T which will hopefully, pretty certainly change soon, THANK GOD.

I still have that time of the month that we shouldn't have to deal with. The thing is that I work out a lot and do my best to build muscle. And it's going pretty well. I have high T levels as it is and they are coming in rather nicely. But I feel fairly significant differences, like ups and downs, in my physical strength over the course of a month. I am still trying to calculate if it's following the schedule of my dumb, God loves you girl week.

I suspect that I am a bit weaker during that week. And about a week after, I feel really strong and have a lot of energy. The ups and downs are not only in my physical strength but also in my energy level, my ability to pressure myself, my endurance etc. So maybe it is hormonal... like girl hormones showing up and messing things up. I don't know.

Has anyone else experienced something like this? Like your strength/physical ability going up and down like that?

I'm a bit puzzled. Thanks guys!!

All the best,

Talon.

Hey talon, thank goodness I haven't had one of those weeks in 11 years, but I still have ovaries and I find that there is absolutely a cyclical nature to my strength, energy and emotions.

I hope it'll be better on t, but give how the doses are administered, I suspect it will be a whole new cycle of hormonal changes! I'm hoping I get stronger!

I find if I'm taking good care of myself (diet, exercise, and sleep) that the effects are lessened. A little spirituality helps too!

Not sure if this helps, but seems normal to me.

      I have read some of it and find it very good information. I'm still working on my own journey so I read all that I can. But lately I have had some gender euphoria moments. So accepting my has put me on a better track

      I bought Olaplex no.7 at the recommendation of a Youtube stylist who focuses on hair growth. It works well at keeping frizz controlled and is super light on my fine hair. It gets good reviews online, but it is in that $30 range.

      I need a lot of coffee. Nothing like being on call, exempt, and assisting a project go-live launch.  @.@

      My world was so dark, I believed I would lose everyone and everything I loved, then I came out to my son. I had 2 pages of explanation to read, and on the second line he stopped me and said "It doesn't matter what you are about to say, I love you and will support you".    For the first time in months, there was a ray of light in my life. I knew then I wouldn't be completely alone, and there was hope. I learned that I was imagining my hopelessness, and that reality was completely different. Depression does that, it makes you concentrate on bad thoughts and shut out the good. Just talking to someone can open the door.   Hugs,   Allie

      Good Tuesday morning    things have been a bit on edge around here.  Nothing I do seems to suit my wife. Doesn’t matter if I ask her in advance or just try to do something on my own.  Went to bed annoyed again.    @MirandaB I’ve had the I’m not a lesbian rant before as well.  The tough part is that to me, I’m still me, just dressed a little different and with breasts and missing a couple of nonfunctional things.  Mine gave up on divorce when she realized neither of our kids would take her in and she couldn’t live on half our income.  I had already determined how I could live on half so the threat wasn’t as big a concern.  I didn’t want it but figured I could live my life.  We have remained together.

      Argan and Brazil nut oil are the main ingredients apparently.   I did some research before I bought this product and coconut oil was highly recommended, but $30 for a 4oz bottle of it was a bit excessive I thought. This one I bought was only $6.50 for the same size!    Oh, and thank you, @Vidanjali.

      @Mikki So glad to meet you Mikki. You are indeed NOT ALONE. The people here are amazing and an oasis and affirming. I can relate to your background and have similar experiences. I have recovered to the point that I am now a Certified Peer Recovery Supporter (work with those who have had substance abuse or mental health issues - being I've had them and can relate). I am grateful and glad I made it through and I know you will to. Hugs Heather
