Good morning everyone! 
I had to mow the yard for the first time last night and I realized I need a landscaper and mower lol. Temps in the 80s today. My wife gave me some of her old bras which they don’t fit but was a nice gesture nonetheless.

hugs

Emily

OK you can keep 80's  Uggh.  

I'm a 60s to 70s gal for comfort.  (Where do you have to live for that to be year round?  LOL)

 

It was a bigger deal then you realize when your wife gives you her old clothing.  Think abou t the mind set to help and support you in doing this!

Trust me I know and extremely thankful every day to my wife.  I probably wouldn't be full time if my wife had not be this generous and caring about my need for transition.  Though I am bless to of gotten all manner of her old "hand me downs" and some still have tags on them.  LOL

 

Hoping everyone has a wonderful and safe day.

Mine has gotten a kick out of some of the outfits I put together and she is always about tough love.  "Um nope-looks terrible-go change." she would say if I missed.  LOL

That  happens all the time with me I’m learning though, but if you ask her I’m not lol. I have to laugh at myself always before I only wore what was comfortable and cheap. I spend now on one outfit what I spent a year on my clothes  before.

Good morning. 

I've been told by women that I have good taste.  Sometimes.  Not always the case.  There have been times when all I could do to grab a few things off racks at thrift stores that kind of fit and then run out of the place in fear.  I remember a checkout clerk asking "Are you actually going to wear these together??"

Haha I love that. I thought it was funny I was talking to the insurance lady at my doctors office yesterday and she asked how I was and I said wonderful it’s I love my job Monday she got the biggest kick out of it. It really felt nice we talked on the phone for like 20 minutes. It was great to have a conversation as 2 women.

I would love to find a place were it is 60-75 yr round. maybe 40-50s at night. I would move there in a heartbeat. I am a warm weather girl. now more than ever since being on my blockers. I am cold more often. I want warmer weather so I can get out and do something. With no garage only have the parking lot to do any work on the cars. (yet the landlord doesn't allow it) I want to get on the bike and ride (MMM sounds like a song lyric)

 

thankfully it has been getting warmer. we wound up laying off two drivers yesterday. So know our hours are back up so today and tomorrow I go in at 10 instead of noon. hey 2 more hours of  boredom and BS.

 

Have a great day all.

Me too Shawna.  While maybe one or two days of 80's would be tolerable but not for months on end.

That was kind of blunt.  We all buy things that may not match because something at home does!

I have not had any negative comments about my choice of clothes . I am often complimented on my choices. One time I was visiting my son while he was in the hospital and the his nurse came into the room. I was wearing a dress, black leggings and scruncy boots. The nurse asked if I picked out my own clothes or if I had someone pick them out for me. When I told her that i pick out my own clothes she told me that I had better taste than she had. Talk about making my day!

75 and cloudy here. Enjoying the day outside in the yard. I did my civic duty and voted today, as Justine. I guess even with makeup I still look close to my id photo.

Having some mid-day coffee before heading out for a walk.  It’s 54° and the sun just came out.  I love warmer weather.  My wife won’t join me on my walks unless it’s over 50° so it looks like I’ll have some company today.

I used to be warm all the time prior to HRT.  Now my hands and feet are often freezing...LOL. Roles seems to be reversed a bit as I’m always reaching for her hands at night to warm mine.  The extremities being colder is one of the few changes I could have done without.

Hmm that could prove interesting to me if the hormones do affect my hands already can’t take the cold lol.

Not so your hands directly, just thinking of the natural tendency for women to feel colder than men in cool temps (in my experience and understanding).

 

As to age, my dad never had an issue with cooler temps until he started to get older. Same with my FIL.

I’m pretty sure it’s the E.  I started to notice the temperature change of my extremities about 3 months into HRT and ever since then.  I would think if it was completely due to old age, it would’ve happened over a greater period of time not over a few weeks.  Although I am old so I can’t rule that out?.  I just wear gloves a lot more often these days.

...Jani, thanks for the compliment on my new avatar!

Good morning.

I saw my red squirrel for the first time this year.  His color is like an Irish setter and he darts back and forth atop a chain link fence.

Good Morning @Ms Maddie, glad you saw your friend this year. I enjoy seeing the wildlife about, the Robins are chatty now in the mornings, I hear them about an hour before sunrise, heard a bard owl hooting just before I got up. It's so quiet around here, vehicle and air traffic that used to be in the background is virtually non existent.

 

Have a lovely day

OK lets face it MFT HRT = Freezing!  OMG I am so cold all the time and my hands and feet most of all.

I though maybe it was from weight loss and not regulating that temp yet but HRT definitely has an effect too.  JMO

Or I am old too.  

 

Coffee gone and at work.  Busy today. Not good things either sad to say.

Keeping it as positive as I can.  Smiles in place of tears.

 

Have a great day all.

Good morning! Coffee almost finished. Sorry to hear so many are feeling down, but I am another wildlife fan, as long as they don't get too close!

With spring peeking out everywhere I am feeling a bit lonely. What I wouldn't give to lay for hours in someone's embrace and just talk with one another!

Otherwise, between guitar practice and drawing I'm a busy gal.

I have one red squirrel that hangs around my yard.  Mostly its grey squirrels and chipmunks that congregate under my feeders whenever the birds are present.  I also have a couple rabbits that feed on the little bit of grass I have to the side of the house, and of course deer!

I'm sure that would be nice. 

 

Yesterday was glorious at mid-60's and sunny but today is back to rainy and grey.  Boo hoo! 

 

I have to register my cars this month but the town clerks office is closed but the state does offer an online app that I tried last night.  It will take longer than going to the office but safer.  

 

I hope everyone has an enjoyable day, whatever you choose to do!

Forecast in the upper 50s for us today. My hand get so cold now days. it really doesn't help with my left pinky having been broke last year. Hopefully with the weather getting warmer (big hope) I will not be as cold. doesn't really help that right now I am in  shorts and a cami. LOL.

 

My Friday today. 10-7:30. Have a phone appointment with my GYN tomorrow, then speech and MH video on Friday. Hoping for warmer weather as I want to start to work on something.

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      The number is relative to method of deliver, the time of the dose, and when the blood is drawn. However, I do want to keep away from DVT and other potential issues. I assume I may be getting backed down from my current dose, but my doc told me to stick with the higher dose, so? I also wonder if this has anything to do the my breast growth and mental changes that have been happening over the past few years, like I have some estrogen sensitivity so a little goes a long way or something? I don't have enough data to postulate, but who knows!   With weekly, subcutaneous, shots you expect to see big swings of serum level estradiol from shot to peak to trough. My doctor is interested in mid-week testing (for E and T levels only), which would be post-peak blood serum levels but they will be higher than trough. Most, if not all, resources I've seen online is to measure at trough (which I might do just to do it next time) along with a SHBG, LH, and other metrics.   This is from transfemscience.org for Estradiol valerate in oil, which is very spiky compared to some other estradiol combinations. It's also for intramuscular, which will have a slower uptake and is usually dosed in higher volume due to the slower absorption rate from muscles. They don't have subcutaneous numbers, which I would expect to see similar spikes but higher levels at similar doses due to the relatively higher absorption rate direct from fat.   Are you doing pills, shots, or patches? And when you do get your levels checked are you getting that done when your levels are lowest or some other time?

      Both of my parents were from the “North Shore” of Boston.  My mother Lynn and my father Swampscot.  They had an early 1900s Scots-Irish New England diet.  My sister and I were born in the 40s in Ohio well away from New England seafood and in an area where food was more German and Polish.  My first experience with liver and onions was during basic training.  They ate salt cod but never forced us to eat it same with oysters.  My dad ate oysters but my mother wouldn’t.  Anyone who ever ate an oyster can figure that one out.  I grew up eating lamb.  My wife won’t touch it. I love brazed ox tail, again no way. And the list goes on.

      My mother was German, so yes, I think it was a cultural thing.  If I'd known you when we were cleaning out my mother's place, I could have sent you her "threat jar".

      Been taking it real easy.Another good neighbor of mine and his 15 year old son came over and cut down a couple dead trees on my property.Knew not to do it taking it easy.I had them put the wood near my fire pit in the back yard.Did it and happy where they put it.They knew I had stents put in and needed to take it easy

      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one.

      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.
    • Ashley0616
      I don't see why not. I have worn forms since I came out. 
    • MaeBe
      I have never worn breastforms, but I assume as long as they don't aggravate your nipples you could.

      Every week I've been excited to take my shot, so it's never been an issue. Yesterday, however, I woke up and started my usual "slow roll" and then suddenly realized I had breakfast plans that I had to rush out the door for. After, it was straight into work calls, and then I got the notification from the doctor about things being too high and all the while my mind had completely slipped that I needed take my shot.   Given that I am not asking for medical advice, but sharing my journey, I will note my results: Estradiol at 447 pg/mL and Testosterone was 23 ng/dL, up and down from 26 pg/mL and 526 ng/dL respectively before treatment. Almost flipped the bit! The doc would like my Estradiol closer to 300 pg/mL, so we'll see what Monday's tests state.   Oh, and I teased the dinner with old soccer teammates and never updated the thread! It went well. There were a couple funny moments. One guy, who I was worried about their response, greeted me with "Hey, you've lost some weight!" 😎 And a friend who lives near me picked me up on the way to dinner exclaimed, after we learned one of the invitees might show up with a date, "Wait! We could have brought women?!" To which I instantly responded, "You kind of did, bringing me!" Everyone got a good laugh out of that. 😁

      To me there isn't that much difference other the measurement, which side the zipper is on and men's pants have bigger pockets. 
    • missyjo
      I hope this is not stupid question..I have yet to start n not sure if doc will approve..but once you start growing buds n such, can you still wear forms to get to the size you were?   I'm a dad, so when I start blossoms they will be smaller for a long time n probably need surgical augmented..that's fine. I don't want to go ddd to aa to ddd..   any ideas?   thank you
