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

      Good morning, all!!! Cloudy today with some light rain coming. Not a day to work outside.   I will vacuum the house and the head out to our local hardware store after I get cleaned up. Time to buy a new bird feeder for the back porch.   I'm sorry the job didn't work @KymmieL! Hang in there.   It sounds like a busy time for you at work @Willow. Finding reliable people is so hard these days.   Time for another cup of coffee before I start cleaning!!   Enjoy this beautiful day we've been given.

      Nostalgia is an emotion. It is the feeling of enjoying events from the past. People with nostalgia will often look at or use old things that they were familiar with years ago. This is because people feel more connected to those past times that they enjoyed, usually because it reminds them of how long it has been since they last connected to such past times. Examples where people may have the feeling of nostalgia includes watching old TV shows, using old technology that was very enjoyable, and playing with toys that you played with as a child. These memories are usually misleading, and can make someone wish that they could be young again, even if their childhood was mediocre. Human brains often leave out boring or bad memories, which can cause incorrect feelings about their childhood.

      CAT FACTS A cat's jaw cannot move sideways. The only domestic animal not mentioned in the Bible is the cat   A house cat’s genome is 95.6 percent tiger, and they share many behaviors with their jungle ancestors, says Layla Morgan Wilde, a cat behavior expert and the founder of Cat Wisdom 101. These behaviors include scent marking by scratching, prey play, prey stalking, pouncing, chinning, and urine marking. Cats are believed to be the only mammals who don’t taste sweetness. Cats are nearsighted, but their peripheral vision and night vision are much better than that of humans. Cats are supposed to have 18 toes (five toes on each front paw; four toes on each back paw). Cats can jump up to six times their length. Cats’ claws all curve downward, which means that they can’t climb down trees head-first. Instead, they have to back down the trunk. Cats’ collarbones don’t connect to their other bones, as these bones are buried in their shoulder muscles. Cats have 230 bones, while humans only have 206. Cats have an extra organ that allows them to taste scents on the air, which is why your cat stares at you with her mouth open from time to time. Cats have whiskers on the backs of their front legs, as well. Cats have nearly twice the amount of neurons in their cerebral cortex as dogs. Cats have the largest eyes relative to their head size of any mammal. Cats make very little noise when they walk around. The thick, soft pads on their paws allow them to sneak up on their prey — or you! Cats’ rough tongues can lick a bone clean of any shred of meat. Cats use their long tails to balance themselves when they’re jumping or walking along narrow ledges. Cats use their whiskers to “feel” the world around them in an effort to determine which small spaces they can fit into. A cat’s whiskers are generally about the same width as its body. (This is why you should never, EVER cut their whiskers.) Cats walk like camels and giraffes: They move both of their right feet first, then move both of their left feet. No other animals walk this way. Male cats are more likely to be left-pawed, while female cats are more likely to be right-pawed. Though cats can notice the fast movements of their prey, it often seems to them that slow-moving objects are actually stagnant. Some cats are ambidextrous, but 40 percent are either left- or right-pawed. Some cats can swim. There are cats who have more than 18 toes. These extra-digit felines are referred to as being “polydactyl.”

      Good morning,   I over slept yesterday was a couple minutes late clocking in.  But no breakfast or coffee.  Got caught up but it was go go go all morning.  I had to ask for a refresher on how I was to enter something but once I got a quick answer it came back to me.    @KymmieL sorry Ford didn’t work out.  We are always looking for good reliable people, I could get you a job here but the commute would be rough.  Today I have three audits to get done, plus other things during my shift on top of the regular things.  Since I am opening that puts me in the drivers seat.  The Asst Mgr comes in part way throuh my shift but she will have to handle customers while I do the work she would be doing if she opened. Tail wagging the dog.  Guess she’s getting punished for not following the Mgr’s requests.  They do tend to butt heads a lot.     Butting heads with people is a thing the Asst is known for.   @awkward-yet-sweet do you think just maybe this new graphics request was in the offing?  And why you were asked to go to work with your husband?  Obviously, he cares about you a lot and is trying to do things to help you.   speaking of meeting people @Adrianna Danielle we have a youngish customer who comes in frequently, I’d like to approach her but I’m just not certain yet.  She still dresses male but has long hair and early chest development.  My approach, if I ever decided I should would just be supportive but I really can’t be sure that is what is going on here or what and I would not want to make a big blunder if that’s not what he is doing.  A male with early teen boobs doesn’t want to be noticed.   well, I can’t be late again, I’ve got to leave now.  See you again later for afternoon tea and crumpets or scones. Mmm scones!   lol   Willow

      Well, HIPAA is basically useless for keeping government out of your medical stuff.  It doesn't seem to prevent employers from making workplace medical demands either.  About the only thing it seems to do is keep somebody's sister or spouse from having the tools necessary to help you when you're in trouble.  As usual, government made things worse and added unhelpful red tape.  I really doubt HIPAA will be any use in the area of trans rights either.    Honestly, I don't see anything good will come of this no matter how it goes.  If some state AG's win on this, it will cause issues for trans folks.  If the Feds win on this, it'll be a precedent to stomp on states' rights even more than has already been done.  And I'm not sure which way things go will make a difference when it comes to officials from one state trying to do nasty things to people who have left that state and gone elsewhere.    What a crap sandwich... and no matter which plate it gets served on, "We The People" get to eat it.
