The doctor didn't seem to be concerned about that. Plus that's what they used to do prior to T blockers; I believe the method was called estradiol monotherapy.
But I can look into it more to see what the risks are.
That's a smart idea. They checked it when I was there and it was around 114/82. I also have BP measurements from previous visits as I'd message them to my mom.
I'm also only taking E since I want to keep my T for now. So this will help see how E specifically affects my BP.
Ye, it's pretty darn cheap. If people are interested, it's Mark Cuban's Cost Plus Pharmacy. I use them for my finasteride, too, and their three month supply of that is even cheaper. But only by a little bit.
If your insurance is dogshit like mine then this is a very nice alternative. I have no idea how I'd afford this otherwise.
Thanks! It should be arriving early next week. I still feel nervous about it, but I know this will be good for me in the end.
Had my doctor's visit on Monday and got my prescription for E ordered that same day. It should be arriving early next week. Am still nervous about it, but I think this will help me feel even more like me. And I'm excite to look and feel even prettier.
I've been trying to decide that myself. Even though my first thought is, "That's not me," when I see my old photos, I feel I should leave them out there for people/world to see. Part of it is not wanting to feel like I'm hiding my past and the other part is to maybe help others realize they can do this, too. And/or show my less open-minded friends and family that transitioning isn't a bad thing.
Idk how successful I'll be with that last one, but I feel I should at least try.
I plan on making a before & after post and title it, "What going on E does to a mfer." Or, "E, not even once," like it's a '90s drug PSA.
I wanna have fun with this.
You, too, can have an ass like that. Squats and lunges will get that booty popping before you know it. Or if a squat rack isn't feasible, booty bands are also really effective. I rely on those when I don't have access to a rack.
And then make sure to get your protein for your growing booty. Vanilla or strawberry flavored whey protein in whole milk is fucking delicious. With how good that tastes, there's no reason you can't get enough nutrients.
Hopefully this helps! Everyone deserves a juicy ass.
I am definitely considering it. I mentioned to some friends about starting next spring and they think I should start this summer.
I just need to work up the energy to find a doctor and a therapist near me who can help.
I am quite lucky to have met them, I will admit. In a way they helped save me, so I'm very appreciative of them.
Edit: And it has pockets!
It just says estradiol and it's 2 mg taken twice a day.
