Puberty and Menopause at the same freaking time? Seriously?!?!?

Well we all know HRT can cause us to experience a female puberty if you are taking the right HRT meds for a transition from male to female.  

But I had no idea that I would be slung shot into menopause at the same blasted time!

How is this possible?

OMG I had no idea.

They didn't cover this in MTF-101 school!

It was my mother-in-law that pointed out all the little things I have been complaining about lately on my physical health and well being.  

My RM and her mother were laughing at me over this during a conversation they were having on speak phone.

Great.

What do it do for this?

Wow!  I never heard of that.  All “they” ever talk about is a second puberty and how long it can take.

Yikes! I've only experienced menopause symptoms when I was off HRT pre-surgery (they sucked). I'd definitely bring that up with my endo. She might want to check your bloodwork again.

It bugs me that your hospital doesn't think your pain issues are important enough to treat. Are they that swamped with plague cases? Or do they just not want the public to know about the zombie outbreak?

Yea here is what we have to look forward to.

  • Irregular periods.
  • Vaginal dryness.
  • Hot flashes.
  • Chills.
  • Night sweats.
  • Sleep problems.
  • Mood changes.
  • Weight gain and slowed metabolism.

 

I'm going to class Mood Changes and Irregular Periods as one for a MTF lol.

Well at least I do not have dryness issues.

Our state is under a government order to do NO surgeries unless they are life saving or extreme emergency.  My lump is not classed either.  

Its out of there hands they say.

BUT I did get moved up to the top of the list for reschedules.  

Sadly they wont start doing that until May 15.

Sigh

I... don't have any of those things.

 

Irregular periods... well, that's not going to happen.

 

Vaginal dryness... nope. Not at all.

 

Hot flashes... not since I've been back on my HRT... and good riddance.

 

Chills... never had those. I'm never warm anymore, but that's been a constant since I started HRT in 2018.

 

Night sweats... again, not since I've been back on HRT. Good riddance there too. Bleah.

 

Sleep problems... nope, I sleep like the dead.

 

Mood changes... well, I'm sunnier but I've been tripping on happy since I came out.

 

Weight gain and slower metabolism... there's been some water weight, but I'm working it off. Any gain at this point is boredom eating because I'm locked in the house with my thoughts... and the cats.

 

I'd classify you life saving. People have taken their own lives because of chronic pain. May 15th isn't so bad though. Hopefully that's solid.

 

Hugs!

No that's when they will start to reschedule people.  It could be a lot longer then that depending on how "On top of the List" I am.  

I have had this pain since early Feb so April was a killer of a time to wait.  When they cancelled on me I broken down crying, I mean balling,  to the nurse on the phone.  I felt bad afterwards but I couldn't help myself.

No, you're completely justified. You're dealing with a lot of unmanaged pain. You got close enough to see the light at the end of the tunnel and then... boom, train. I would have had a breakdown too. Sure, the nurse was just the messenger, but you sent the message of, "This is not OK," back to her pretty loud and clear. Hopefully, that makes it back up the chain and they make you a priority.

 

Hugs!

Yes The urologists' personally called me to talk to me about it  that's how I know I'm at the top of the list for rescheduling.

Remember she was the extremely beautiful lesbian surgeon I was freaking out over a few months ago.  That exam was the Best first date ever!  LOL

No, I remember. There's porn flashbacks. "Beautiful lesbian surgeon removes my testicles," is the plot of at least one pornographic production I've run across in the dark parts of the internet. Usually she's naked when she does it. I'm not sure why though, it seems terribly unsanitary.

      The one thing about this position, if you want more hours just wait and be flexible.  I’m now working until 7:30 pm instead of 4:30.

      Welcome Mattie! I would recommend the first step is finding a gender therapist and see if you are or aren't. Then one of the biggest steps if you are do you want to start hormone replacement therapy. The decision should be thought long and hard. There are irreversible effects. Looking forward to your next post! Take care!

      @Willow, it's great to hear about your wife's progress! It's also fun to hear about day-to-day stuff, like work. It's nice to think of this thread as a kind of morning chit chat place to go, like if we had a big table at The Daily Grind and were just listening and sharing over our morning brews.
