If it helps, try to reframe it less like a single decision point and more of a choice every time you would take medication / HRT to continue in that direction. You’re not just making one decision to take HRT, you’re making a new decision every day.

Hell yeah that sounds so sick!

I was Thorn from the Scooby Doo Hex Girls this year, was a dream of mine to dress as since before i came out

Hell yeah! I saw a ms. Frizzle this year with a Liz purse 🤘

XD yeah i wasn’t super masculine though so idk what my body was doing with all that

Dang! Hope you can get prog soon, honestly the sleep benefits have been the most beneficial thing from it for me. Orchi didn’t lead to any additional changes for me, but god was it nice for dysphoria

Hm couple things! My levels after 3 months weren’t changing as much as I wanted to. Before I started on HRT I basically had double the average Testosterone (& double the average E) so I figured injections were a guaranteed way to nuke my T levels.

I also had heard from others that injections worked much better than pills, and I figured since I wasn’t scared of needles that I’d give it a try. It was also super convenient to switch to only remembering my HRT once a week, I’ve got ADHD & was struggling a lot to remember taking my pills twice a day.

Congrats! Wishing you the best on your journey!

I switched to subq injections after about 3 months on pills & it was the best decision I ever made for my transition. Felt like the whole process accelerated, within 7 months of switching to injections (10 on HRT) I was stealth at my new job, it was shocking how much of a difference that made.

Main thing to worry about with clots from oral pills is if you smoke! If you don’t smoke nicotine then the risk is low like the commenter said above.

Good to know! I might drop to 23g if I keep coring

Nice! That’s awesome! I was struggling so hard to draw with 30G, not sure if I was just doing it wrong or what. Using standard pharmacy EV

Basically same setup here except 25G injection needle, nice!

Im a trans lesbian & its absolutely ok! Despite my understanding of my gender changing a lot, my sexuality stayed almost the exact same before & after coming out.

I highly recommend looking into a supportive therapist to talk things through & figure out how you want to handle your feelings & possible transition. One thing I’ll say for sure is that I thought it would ruin my life too, but I’m happier than ever & the people that showed up for me when I came out are closer to me than ever. Felt like I could finally breathe again when I started transitioning

When I called my doctor to get an appointment for HRT they said their next available was in 2 days, insanely quick.

Yay! Glad things are on the up & up and happy for you! You look great!
