She injected estrogen and you won't believe what happened next!!!
| nah my shot is tmr
good job with the injection
since this isn't an ama thread: how do you feel hades 2 impacts the hades franchise? is it a generally positive development?
| >>1114798 happy to ama just forgor to put in the post
You may crucify me for this but I've played neither of them, so no opinion
| It's the 30th today.
| I just take pills, idk I been thinking of doing sublingual but is it really better?
| If I was president, I'd give HRT access to everyone that needs it, for free, paid by the state with yummy and well used taxes
| >>1114832 Idk but it's the only option here so there's that
Pills have to go through the liver so that may make them less effective?
Sublingual is supposed to deliver them right to your bloodstream or something
| >>1114839 I believe sublingual results in quicker absorbtion so a shorter effective half-life, but is also more effective at delivering E itself because first pass as mentioned
The main benefit to injections is most people can do monotherapy because most t-blockers have not great side effects (if you experience them)
Exception is the gnrh agonists that are used as puberty blockers but for some reason they won't give to adults despite them being better overall :/
| I'm kinda curious what country you're in where pills are the only option if you don't mind answering
In the US a lot of Drs don't like to prescribe things other than pills but other options are totally available
| >>1114862
Uruguay
For some reason there seems to be no injectables, at least I haven't found them yet.
| Hooray : D I love tuesdays, even if my online was broken!
| Mein online bist kaputt!!!
| >>1114872 oh I see
I think you might be able to get gel or patches from a curiosity search?
Not sure honestly, I know patches are very in demand RN so they might not be consistently available, and IDK the effectiveness of gels
Doing sublingual pills might be your best option girl
| >>1114869 what ester are you on that you do monthly? I assume in the butt means you're having a nurse or someone else do your injection for you since that's kinda awkward for self Injections
| >>1114902 yeah I can get gel, but the pills are a lot cheaper too
I figured sublingual must be the way jsj
Thanks girl
| Bleh gonna have to text a family member and ask them to quit using my deadname tonight :/
If only I felt connected to my gender neutral deadname literally ever so I could have just not changed it
| I don't think it's like intentionally hostile just 0 clue about why that's a bad thing, I just kinda wish I didn't have to teach most of my family this stuff
| :( I’m sorry g/u/rl. I have a trans fem (I wrote trans woman first but I think trans fem is nicer and less intimidating) in my family who is really nice and safe. Do you have some nice family members who help you feel relaxed? I hope this one doesn’t take it too hard :< and I hope you’re feeling ok
| Uhh not really but I will be okay, this family member is fortunately genuinely trying to be respectful etc just knows very little about anything queer so it should be alright
I've been pretty drained this week but things will be fine once I get a chance to recover
| Ok good :) I’m sorry if I stressed you. I really like your threads but I struggle sometimes to say the right things.
| They replied with only an "Okay" but gave me a call later and excitedly said "Hi (name) how are you doing!" So things went well \o/
| my butt itches
| <3 thanks for reassuring me. You’re very kind and I feel better:)
Yay! That’s really good of them, and good of you to do it too.
| I feel estrogen made me a lot more chill and extroverted
I can recognize fragments of the person I was before lost in my flesh, but everything feels and plays so different it's hard to compare this new me to the old one.
Is this a normal thing that just happens?
| I’ve heard this before. Some claim it’s that they were just suffering from running on the wrong hormones, some claim it’s from dysphoria lifting, some claim it’s a direct effect of estrogen. What I think: it’s some of the first two, but probably a dose dependent direct biological effect of estrogen on neural activity, which fades if you go off it.
| I say this because estrogen later in life isn’t supposed to change brain organization, it changes relative activity (sort of like how it doesn’t change the skeleton but changes fat distribution)
| nothing is real
| >>1115303 I believe that's a pretty common genre of thought and yeah basically what the first half of>>1115307 said
It's often described/felt in different ways but as with most things it's really individual
I'm sorta an outlier here due to prolonged depersonalization and isolation on top of it all pre hrt so I was sorta rebuilding a personality from scratch within the few years before and I feel more or less like a version of that who's not held back by something
| >>1115310
I can't say I know enough about the pharmacokinetics or neurochemistry to agree or disagree on E alone
But I do want to add that progesterone is at least somewhat common and I know it turns into neursteroids and stuff in the liver which definitely makes a noticeable difference mentally at least for me
E also changes gene expression and lots of other stuff so it's possible it's a downstream effect
But truthfully I think it's a mix of everything in personal amounts
| Placebo being as strong as it is definitely makes things harder to isolate in that area though, I know I felt euphoric, and better overall, after I did my first injection despite my E not suppressing my T properly until I increased dose and obviously directly after an injection very little of the ester would have been broken down into usable E
| E is really cool
| One theory I thought was interesting was that the beneficial mental effects of high testosterone are through it turning into estrogen, since estrogen acts on the brain so much. That’s also true about prog. I believe (maybe) it’s the same process which happens to DHT, and that’s why there’s fear about prescribing DHT blocker to people with a history of suicide, because blocking DHT blocks production of these positive neurosteroids.
| I liked that last sentence particularly about not being held back by something. It’s really beautiful g/u/rl :>
| >>1115347 >high testosterone are through it turning into estrogen
Damn gurl, for me, it only made me hypersexual and really dumb
But that may also be related to me being trans and all, I lived mostly in my head back then. I feel like I'm living in the real world now that I'm taking E
| E is MDMA + amphetamine though
| Im at the endo about to ask for raloxifene
Wish me luck girls
| Luck luck luck luck luck!!!!
| Good luck gurlie
| Well he didn't want to prescribe me raloxifene, I guess I'm growing boobs now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
| I hope you are at least okay with that it's awful when a Dr decides your body for you
I've not heard very much good about endos in general unfortunately :/
| Eh im okay with it, Im curious what my size will be anyway
If anything boymoding may get harder with time, but I can manage with the right clothes
| Glad to hear that at least *hugs*
| Tonight's shot was average, slightly distracted by my cat deciding to attack my leg right before I stabbed myself but no pain drop of blood
Posting here instead of a new thread because it survived a week! Woohoo
| I have a habit of bouncing a leg so it could be that or she was just in a mood, either way I had to put the needle down and convince her to play in a box first lol
| That’s adorable:>
| Annoying more like.
| nice
| i have a habit of bouncing on legs
| She's cute I can't be mad at her
| She's mad and I can't be cute with her
| She’s I’m her
| I'm she/her
| Dayum girl are your pronouns her/she cuz I want to give you a kiss
Sorry
| Not beating the aligations... Women pretty (*﹏*)
| Snails make decisions on 2 braincells
Just like horny men
| This is why chuds drive around in big lifted up pickup trucks during the winter spraying salt behind them to kill snails so women have you choose them ;(
| We need to invent a salt you can sprinkle on men and have them shrivel up and have to run away or they'll die
| trans need to die
| check it out im in the thread
like car pet
| Snailstrogen
| >>1115835 hmmm I guess I'll spare some just for you but they have to behave or they'll get the salt
| You’re so dreamy!!!!!! (^｡^)
| Take your medss
| *I'm not going to horny post* *I'm not going to horny post* *I'm not going to horny post* *I'm not going to horny post* *I'm not going to horny post*
| She jumped off the saint johns bridge? (I used her correct pronouns please clap)
| >>1115926
Would recommend, even besides the horny it's helped my mental health a lot
I'll also note your levels definitely effect horny a lot too, I don't think I had much horny at all until E was over 100 pg/ml or something so even if you can't get prog from your Dr you might still get some horny back
| >>1115921
I won't horny post, but I do have to complain about being unable to hit an O for three days now
Ssri + stress will do that I'm afraid but like shjsjsjwhshhdhdjjsjshwh you know?
| Since we're getting close to Tuesday I must ask for opinions on opening a new thread or keeping this one going for a third week?
| I like ur cute titles on new threads ✌︎('ω')✌︎
| your titles are cute, but don't feel pressured to start a new thread if you don't have a title yet
| Aww ty both <3
| I usually make it whatever silly things pops into my head, so I'm glad they're mostly successful!
| I like the thread, but you can make a new one if you want, id post anyway.
| Let's keep this going until 250 replies!!
| I'm going to say I'll probably keep it here this week and do a new one next week, yesterday and today (Monday) were rough so just going to try and chill Tuesday
And as a reminder:
AMA, I'm okay with lewd questions, questions don't have to be directly trans related, etc etc
| 250 replies Rick & Tranny!!!!
| Estroganoff yes or no?
| >>1116231 I think gentle domme?
I have difficulty letting my head go quiet, and feeling safe and loved very much helps with that
I'm demisexual, shocking I know
| Got unlucky and hit a nerve so oww
Drop of blood otherwise went fine
| >>1116287 funny, I'm demi too but I like objectification and slavery
But when im domming I tend to be very maternal
| >>1116290
Admittedly not directly related I just think it's funny how like, the love and care I need to feel attracted is also what makes me hot and bothered :p
I've honestly not experimented with a partner since before hrt where I was basically just comp top all the time so there's a non zero chance I have some yet to be found kinks
| I've liked some objectification stuff I've seen online, but it was in a like cherished object sorta way? IDK if that's just a niche in a niche or if I'm looking for the wrong things but I've not found too much of that online
| >>1116292 I never seen it online I just like when someone does that to me irl
>>1116291
That's interesting, I must 'love' someone to be able to feel sexual attraction towards them, but the thing that makes me hot and bothered is the pleasure I am giving them
| >>1116298
I want to expand on it if that's interesting but I think I struggle with finding the right words?
Knowing I'm making my partner feel good is definitely a big turn on
I'm probably some flavor of neuro spicy, I have a tendency for random thoughts to pull me out of my body and into my head?
Feeling that strong trust, love, and just intimate connection, kinda fills all the space and let's me experience instead of analyzing if that makes sense
| >>1116299
Also being single that connection is what I'm missing so that might be a factor too :p
The sorta loving praise that is common in gentle domme stuff is quite effective, but I hesitate to describe it as a praise kink because some kinds of praise will pull me into my head and I'll analyze like "am I xyz?" I haven't been able to figure out the line between what does and doesn't work, but loving comments always work so it's easier to describe that way
| >>1116303
You're a charming, heartfelt, girl, and your threads make me happy. How has your sleep been? Do you relax before bed?
| >>1116307 <3 you're sweet
I've been having a very rough time sleeping this week unfortunately, a mix of under and then over sleeping throwing my schedule completely out of wack lol
I'll usually lay down and look through stuff here or watch something chill on my laptop before bed so I suppose that counts as relaxing?
| >>1116303
I guess you need to feel the safety of someone loving you in order to stop analyzing and thinking
As if you're using the analysis as some kind of automatic defense for normal interactions.
But I'm not a professional on this so idk, i think it's cute tho, I can relate jsjsj
I hope you find a loving partner to give you the things you need. Getting a proper partner is hard T-T
| >>1116312
(..◜ᴗ◝..) I like to feel sweet, thanks gurl. I was posting that before going to bed, but my problem is I make a few nice posts, then I feel like I need to keep using my phone and distracting myself :<
Maybe part of it is insecurity in myself. I hope you can be gentle and get some good rest tonight
| >>1116338 <3
Finding a partner is hard, and I wish you good luck too! (If you don't currently have one that is)
| >>1116374 I have someone that loves me a lot but we can love each other so neither of us has to be lonely (,,> ᴗ <,,)
| >>1116358 <3 the Internet could definitely use more people leaving nice comments, don't be hard on yourself for doing something nice!
| >>1116377 a we're not a couple. I mean, we used to date but eventually realized we just want to be close to each-other and date other people
It's fun, like having a little sister that you actually like living with you
| Feeling very cuddly tonight, laying under my weighted blanket but I think I want one that's more heavy but not as hot as this one
Does anyone have any recommendations that aren't like super expensive?
| Oh interesting! Me me me I volunteer to cuddle u xD.
I tried one once but found it mixed.i just use a comforter and hug a pillow sometimes which I think is less hot too
| >>1116461 I googled hugging pillow for fun and found out they make like, half torso ones with a single arm lol
I think I might like one, currently just squeeze a plushie but I would like a really long body pillow I could hug
| Plushies can be kinda small- I have a body pillow but often times I just hug a normal pillow. You can get a half torso and single arm at the morgue anyway, don't spend your previous money!
| >>1116602 lol I did mean just a standard large body pillow but the half torso might make a good Halloween prop
| I didn't word that other post great so it does sound like that :p
Saw a friend online buy a moon pillow or something and it was *huge* almost took up the entire bed, I think she has a twin still but like that's still a huge pillow and I kinda want one
This thread is closed.
| I think I'm out of amusing titles
Injection was good no blood no pain
This week was kinda long, feels like I robbed spoons from next week to pay for what I had to do this week
Hope you're all doing well and taking your estrogen
