Sorry, I hit the send button by accident. I was going to post I got approved to be put back on hormones today. Pick them up after I get my blood work done tomorrow. I was on them before, but I didn't take them like I was supposed to. I was taking half doses so my body wouldn't change as quick. Was trying to hide it from my girlfriend. Didn't work. She caught on when my breasts started to show. So I quit them for 3months. She broke up with me again.  I'm not sure if it's related or not, but I  went for a physical and it showed a high psa count. I had to have 2 biopsies and an mri done. Luckily it just shows suspicious material. I have to go back in 6 months for another psa count. I learned an expensive lesson about hormones and taking them properly. 1st time I took them I went through planned parenthood. This time I'm going through my primary care physician. Shes really nice ,and has been helping me through it all.

Have to do blood work tomorrow. She sent a prescription. To the pharmacy, and told me to get my blood work done, before I started taking them.

Sorry to hear you had some trouble with the first round and then the high PSA. Following doctor's orders with any medication is paramount. I am on some medications for depression that require regular blood monitoring already, so I luckily am not worried about that part as much to start HRT.

 

Best of luck with round 2 of starting agian.

Had my blood work done, picked up my hormones the same day. Been on them about 3 days now. Today's been a bummer. My girlfriend told my mom about the hormones. She knew about me cross dressing. I ve never shown anyone in my family.  Not looking forward to telling my family.

They'll get over it.  And if not you know where you stand with them.  Why would your girlfriend do that?

Being forcibly outed is never a good thing. I am sorry to hear that you had to go through that experience.

 

I can remember the first time when I thought I might be trans in High School, and my mom found my stash of her clothes hidden in my room. My mom berated me asking what was wrong with me, and even told the whole family about it during a holiday dinner. I felt like something was wrong with me, and it was not comfortable at all.

 

Be as honest as you want to be with them, and know that you're not responsible for their happiness. You are only responsible for own happiness. At least that is what my therapist keeps trying to remind me as my date comes forward.

Sorry I  disappeared. Laid down and fell asleep. My mom hasn't said to much,except to just be careful about what I do.Because it effects my kid's and grandchildren. I know she means well. But they make it sound like I'm doing something wrong or perverted.

Maybe this is where with time they will come to see a happier you. I feel the "wrong and perverted" thing is a common thread that comes from those who don't understand. Their thought is it is something for a sexual thrill, when in fact, it is something deep rooted inside of us. I am trying to keep it in mind with my own coming out process, that maybe in time they will come to see how much happier you are because you are able to be a more authentic version of yourself.

      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.

      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

      I like them too.  We had them growing up.  But my father's family were Swedes.

      Oh my!  I guess it just goes to show how different tastes can be. Since we don't live near the ocean, Seafood is a rare luxury. We absolutely love pickled herring! Especially my husband and my GF, I guess it's a Ferman/Russian cultural thing.  But most of the kids like it too, and a jar wouldn't last in the pantry for long 😆
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      I think the key to that is just not minding eating the same thing repeatedly. Since we produce a lot of our own food here, we end up eating what is in season at the moment. So, when the yellow squash is ripening, we end up fixing squash 20 different ways. When the strawberries are ready, we eat lots of strawberries. It's kind of a different mindset to eat in season when it has become such a part of American culture but the grocery store has everything we want all the time. Like grapes in December.  My family does even things out a little bit by having a greenhouse so we have some fresh things in the winter, but it's not a 100% fix.

      My brothers and I had to eat what was on the plate.  All of it, and nothing else.  Pickiness was not tolerated.  Some of our least favourite were liver and onions, sauerkraut, and especially rollmops (pickled herring).  We finally protested enough to persuade our mother not to serve rollmops, though she kept a jar in the pantry for years afterwards, as a threat if we didn't behave.

      I'll go first.  My favorite team is the Yankees.  Loved them since I was a kid.  I was born in NYC so, yeah.  I know everyone loves to hate them, and that's OK.  I just love baseball in general.  It's a game of traditions, strategy, power, grace and skill.   Play Ball!!  ⚾   Carolyn Marie

      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
