Hello Everyone:

 

Wanted to share that I got my labs back quick and what my numbers are.  I am so happy that my E went from 12 up to 30 and my T went from 187 down to 29.  So looks like everything is working grate.  I am just so happy and I cannot wait till the 19th to go over everything with my doctor.

 

Thanks

Hey all

 

So the patches are working.  I have noticed more that I am having to wear my sports bra a lot more cause it feels very comfortable.  I have just notice that my nipples when rubbing against my shirt hurts so need my sports bra and it feels a lot better.

 

Thank You

You'll certainly need to protect that area for a while!  Things will calm down eventually.

Oh yes, the constantly happy nipples and soon to arrive ouchies! I got my results back a week and a half ago and it was a little shocking because the T was so low I couldn’t believe it, I don’t think they could measure it right because it didn’t have a number it had a note that said less than three which is far below arrange for a female, I have to go see my endocrinologist on Tuesday so I’m hoping to get things back in range but I don’t think the low T is really an issue as long as I can get my E in the right range, it was rolling up around 80 E on the last test but it will be up to my Endocrinologist to see if she wants to push it any higher, I think I’ve read that some people prefer higher but I haven’t done much research so I have no idea what these numbers mean myself I just trust my Endo to take care of it for me... I have no idea why but it seems that people want to poke you in just the wrong place when you have the ouchies, Nobody ever seemed to bother me until I had them and then during that span of time I was either bumped nudged poked and even once squeezed by a very good friend who had no idea that it nearly dropped me on the floor!  It almost made me spit out my sushi!

I agree with Jae, the ouchies and itchies are so much fun! I find myself reaching for something and hitting them myself :?! I just checked my E and T levels from my last lab, my estrogen was 115, yea!, but my t level was 433, yuk! Hang on for the ride.

Hey all

 

Thanks for all the good help.  I know for my T, one good thing I have going for me as my doctor had said is that since I am a Cancer survivor from Testicular cancer and already missing one testical that my T level was already very low.  So it just needed to drop even more and the big thing was to bring up my E.

 

Thank you all

Ah yes... I can sympathize! I damaged my little guys so bad in a motorcycle wreck that one is done for and needs to come out no matter what! The remaining little guy is barely hanging on, so I am scheduling an orchi to get both of those trouble makers kicked out! I have such low T at this point I don't think either one of them is making anything at all... Oh well, don't care, bye bye little guys, I won't miss you!

Squishy hugs,

Hey all:

 

So I was standing in front of my closet mirror today and notice why my nipples have been itching a lot and why I have been noticing why I need to wear my sports bra a lot more for comfort.  So my nipples have been looking like that have been sticking straight out and when I touch them, they are sensitive.  Then it looks like I have a small A cup definition right now.

 

The fun part is that I have been weighing myself twice a day and in the early mornings, I have been averaging 205 and then late afternoons / early evenings I have been 211

 

So I have been losing weight

 

Thank you all

You sound like you are doing fine there, the shape of your breasts does generally change even before you actually put on more size onto your male or "moob" structure which is more deltoid, whereas female is more oval in shape.  The nippy itching is a positive sign, and the sticking out more is what will lead to some wild adventures. <evil grin>

Oh yeah, itchy and sensitive nipples along with the emotions make for a wild ride. byw got a kick about Vicky's "evil grin :D

Hello All

 

So since my doctor has increased my patches from 1 to 2 patches a day of Estrodial.  I have been noticing a lot more that my breast around my nipples have been becoming very sensitive.  I need to wear my sports bra that makes me feel comfortable and no irritation now.  There is no size difference, but more like a 90% irritation.

 

Thanks

As time goes on you will be amazed at the amount of time your breasts call out "I'm Here....Pay Attention".  It is a lovely and almost constant reminder of the journey you are on. Enjoy it as it is less demanding as time passes.

 

Hugs,

You may not notice a size difference as your breast grow to be fuller rather than bigger (outward).

Hello All:

 

So I have been on the 2x patches of Estrodial according to doctors instructions for a week now and have not seen any change.  My doctor just wanted to speed it up a little which is why for the 2 patches.  She wants me to give her a call in 3 weeks to let her know of how it is going.

 

lots of love

That's probably about right.  My number had been consistent for quite some time so my doctor up'ed the dosage with new patches.  It took about two weeks before I started to get tenderness indicating something was happening!  It may start slow like that and pick up steam soon afterwards.  Remember that it's having the hormone consistently in your system that makes the difference.  

 

Cheers!

Hello Jani:

 

I know that I am feeling the tenderness around the nipple area and when I sleep on my stomach, I have to wear a sports bra so it will not hurt.  I have noticed when wearing a shirt, I need to wear my sports bra due to the irritation.  Wearing a sports bra is so comfortable to me.

 

Thank You

      https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-news/several-attorneys-general-made-abusive-legal-demands-get-trans-patient-rcna147910     This is a complex issue and I'm no expert, but the actions of these GOP Attorney's General don't pass the smell test.  Their motivations and actions are highly suspect and they lack any credibility.  What else is new, right?  I guess it will all come out in the inevitable court fight.   Carolyn Marie

      I went to work with my husband today.  He asked me this morning if I wanted to go...of course I said yes.  I enjoy being with him, and getting away from the house for a little while.  He spent half the day in his office, which I think is why he asked me along.  He made a nest in the corner for me, where I can plug in my laptop and do my stuff...nobody minds me being there.     But today ended up with a strange opportunity.  I had a conversation with my husband's boss, the company owner.  They want some basic graphic design work done, so I think they might hire me to do it.  Nothing fancy, not nearly as complicated as what I've attempted to do for our county.  So I have a meeting with them on Monday, just to look at some details and see if I can do the work they want.  And especially talk about when they need it done, because I still work pretty slowly.  I don't really need or want the money, but its nice to feel like I can do something again.

      I went to WM today with the objective of buying sandals: they would be women's, but look like men's; they would be brown or black, not white.  I realized the cheapest way to go  was to go for flip-flops, which I observed were prevalent in the store. So I checked out the women's.  Flowers. White shiny straps. Nothing that could possibly be men's. The best deal was one flip flop for $3.98.  At first I thought that was a pair, then, nope.  And because I comparison shop (is there the same thing in men's?) I found the cheapest over there was $6.98 for a pair of flip flops in green that also match my women's cargo shorts that I love.  Doing the math, finding the pink tax.  Rip off.  I have found a blue tax this way, but usually they charge women more for something than they do men. I guess women tend to lose one flip flop at a time or something. Weird.  The pairs were a lot higher.   So, following my rule, but unhappy with it, I bought the green men's flip flops.  They were the cheapest.  Later wife of mine complimented how masculine I look in my matching shorts and flip-flops.  Inward groan. We have not discussed the Subject in a long time because I think she forgets it is there as soon as the conversation ends.  Or she is trying to talk me out of this.  Not sure.  We only discuss it when necessary, and how often do most couples discuss whether one spouse is one sex or the other? Outside of here, I mean.  So we very seldom talk about it and she is happier if she does not know about it. Super stealth.  I do the laundry and I shower in the shower in the wing away  from the master bed room so I have my own shower.

      I'm very glad that everything worked out even better than you thought. It's a tough spot to be in and I know the exact feelings. I'm still waiting to apply for divorce under abandonment so I officially can meet someone who one day I can call someone my prince or my queen. Although the desire for someone is fading because of everything. it's even more amazing that she was your high school sweetheart! Looking forward to the next entry.

      Awww thanks for listening everyone. I have another 5-6 songs in this style that I started recording at the same time, so hopefully I’ll finish the next release soon.   Yes, exactly. Everything was easier about this project, mainly because it felt authentic. The energy was very different, because it was such a pleasure to express myself without a filter. I laughed a lot.

      Thanks for listening @Mmindy.   You’re welcome @April Marie. I think Sally Can’t Dance is an underrated album.

      Well I had an interview with the local Ford Dealership for an opening in the parts dept. It sounded positive. I was told I would here by tomorrow morning.    Other than that just sticking around the house. I haven't done much, the weather is cold and yucky. Doesn't look like good weather till Sunday. Maybe tomorrow I'll fire up the heater in the garage and see about getting the other brake hose put on the Explorer.   Have a good rest of your day/evening.   Hugs, Kymmie
