Not sure why you posted this, but I wouldn’t worry too much about anyone else. Opinions and a-holes really. Plenty of people tell me I’m crazy, weird, annoying, opinionated, etc etc etc.  it used to get to me. No more though. I just say my piece and slide on down the road. 

Your road to this point has been one of insanity honestly. It’s opened my mind to how hard some people have to work just to survive. Don’t let anyone take all of your hard work away from you. But don’t live in it either. 70% of the world lives in the past. 20% live in the future. That leaves 10% that are here now. Staggering really. 10%!! Live for now! Love yourself. Take what you need from your past and push yourself to care about now!! 

Ps there’s nothing wrong with being a class A B!!

Thanks, @Kirsten! Your words mean a lot.

 

I guess my Psychiatrist sparked a few inner concepts I hadn't considered.

 

Looks like FFS is going to head the roster. If insurance will approve then I'll be scheduled.

 

I have maybe 25% of my facial hair removed so far. I wish they would allow more than one treatment per week. A postage stamp area per week is not very much and increases my dysphoria every trip. Public transportation. Never pleasant.

 

It takes awhile to complete total removal. I know that; however, stretching it out so long is tearing me apart mentally. I'm making irrational decisions and dumb mistakes! I got a jaywalking ticket again!

Thanks @Ellora!

 

First, I promised myself I would lose the wigs once I was approved for Feminizing surgeries. Done!

 

Second promise is, I will continue shave my head until day of the first surgery. That will be the last day I shave...

 

Here is my most rescent pic taken yesterday!

A brief update...

 

I start groin electrolysis in two weeks. After 5 treatments I see my Surgeon and either set date for vaginoplasty or more electrolysis. I don't have much hair down there anyway so I don't anticipate long.

 

My facial hair is much thinner now growing slower every week... Electrolysis is working!

 

HRT now at 18 months plus.

 

Slow but sure!

 

I now understand the meaning of...

...squeeeeee!

You looked good in that earlier photo.  All my best for your electrolysis treatments.  Fun, I'm sure!  (NOT).  

Yes it is all exciting.  Time will fly through.

 

Cheers, Jani

You look great gal.  I know that look of bald and beautiful quite well but rarely am without my wig.  I have actually gotten used to it over the years but i'm also finding i can accept and smile at the bald head i see at night.  

Best of luck with your upcoming surgery.

 

Hugs,

 

Charlize

That's great on the hair removal! The one doctor we have in this state requires you to have had electrolysis for a fripping year before he'll perform SRS. Even for someone like me with alopecia... which I am incredibly sensitive about. Though I did have a girlfriend tell me today, "Why did you cover up that beautiful bald head?"

 

Fortunately, I found a doctor who destroys the follicles as part of her procedure. Otherwise that would have been a terrible roadblock.

 

I'm jealous of you both (Michelle and Charlize). I'm nowhere near that confident. I'll stick with my wigs and my headscarf thank you very much. Especially the headscarf. While I'm at the gym, I'm Queen of the Pirates!

My friends all told me to sport the wig. Embrace it. Feel your new found youth...

 

Wooohooo....!

Looking good girl!   Once i found a tile i liked i am rarely without mine except at night or when doing heavy work on a hot day by myself.  While i and my wife are comfortable with seeing me without a wig i do not present myself to the world as a chemo patient.  

It took me time to find comfortable in a wig but the years have made that issue disappear.

 

Hugs,

 

Charlize

You look absolutely incredible, Michelle!  Keep doing what you're doing because it's obviously working for you very well.

 

Thanks for sharing your pics with us,

Susan R?

I have to admit, the only time leave without my wig is when I'm going to get a new one or I have some med/Surg appt...

 

Late I have felt really, really girly...

 

I mean totally squirmy, girly. I would have been wet and slickery as two frogs in a lily pond...!

 

I told my doc that and he said, "your referral was approved." Then he ordered my orchiectomy, penilectomy and vaginaplasty beginning with full body hair removal laser and electrolysis beginning Tuesday.

 

OMG I am Soooo excited?????

      I guess you do have a good point. It's just hard to try and not have the same meals over and over again.

      Hi   I’ll weigh in on being picky about food.  Yes, and I was brought up that way.  We didn’t have to eat everything our parents ate.  They had a number of things they ate that they figured we wouldn’t eat, an acquired taste things or one or the other didn’t like them too.   even as an adult there are many things I won’t eat.  In my defense, there are different things my wife won’t eat.   the weird thing is that after being in E, my tastes have changed.  Sweet, sour, salty or bland, if I eat or drink too much of any one thing and I have to counter act it.   Willow

      I have shared my doses and levels a lot and no one has said anything. Yeah I put alarms on my phone to make sure I don't miss a dose. I tend to forget a lot of stuff on what needs to be done. I have been also using the calendar on my phone a lot. I missed an appointment because I didn't put it in my calendar.

      Feeling better than I did yesterday
    • MaeBe
      It's official. My doctor wants me retested after the last results (too high). The test, that she scheduled, was likely too close to the dose. She did tell me to keep the increased dose instead of reverting to my old one, probably because my "too high" wasn't that high. I don't know what the forum's stance is on results, knowing full well the rules against sharing dosage, so I'll keep those under wraps until I know if it's OK to share those. Less to say, it was over the range she feels comfortable with by about 50%, but taken a day earlier than the midpoint value she was expecting. Grains of salt everywhere!   Of course I messed everything up too, missing my dose for the first time, yesterday. I had to re-reschedule the lab I setup yesterday to Monday from Saturday after taking my shot this morning to avoid the same issue with the testing. I woke up and thought, "Thursday, what do I have to do for work today? OH -crap-, IT'S THURSDAY! I missed my shot yesterday!"   Anyhoo. Question for the ladies: does anyone else get a mild zen-like high after their shots/doses? My brain feels lighter and I'm happier and I feel a lot more girlie this morning. 💃

      I'm into my fourth month of HRT and just titrated up in dosage after my last checkup. This is my life. 🤭   I have yet to grow out of my B cup bras, but I have noticed more fullness, having started with gynecomastia. I am seeing less gapping in bras with my right breast, which has always been smaller than my left. My areolae are slightly pronounced/projected now, that are larger but not vastly greater in circumference, and I have noticed little to no nipple changes beyond their painful sensitivity.

      -It's not a sprint it's an endurance.  -It won't happen overnight. -Seek a gender therapist. -You might lose a lot of support but hang in there. If they truly loved and cared about you they would stay. -Retail therapy helps and plus it builds your wardrobe and shoes. -Makeup is an artwork. It takes lots of practice to do it right and watch YouTube videos on how to put it on or someone who is knowledgeable. -You are going to have roller coaster emotions so don't rush anything.

      You have grown more breast tissue than most some only get one size and that is it. I went from 42C to 42DD but I'm also taking supplements. It's risky to take the supplements but to me it's worth the risk.
