I took this pic a few months ago (5 months on HRT at the time). I've been too nervous to share it but fuck it, we're here :3 πŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ

Edit: Holy cow, you're all so sweet 😊 Thank you so much for all the love. It means more than I can put into words πŸ₯²

Too nervous because it might make people jealous? Cute girl is cute!

FIVE MONTHS?!

You're gorgeous lol. Keep in mind that you're always your own worst critic and keep slaying!

(is it rude to ask your dosage?)

[–] blaze@programming.dev 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Lol no it's not rude at all. 6mg of Estradiol and 200mg of Spiro per day <3

[–] VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Is that DIY? I'm a year in and slowly worked my way to 50mg bicalutimide and 6mg Estradiol, sublingually per day.

[–] blaze@programming.dev 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

No, I've been getting it through Planned Parenthood in the US.

This might be an interesting read since you take yours sublingually: Sublingual vs Oral Estradiol

[–] VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Thanks for the info! I switched to taking my pills sublingually out of concerns for my liver. I may just use another method, like the patch.

How do you adminster? Seems like your results came quick!

[–] blaze@programming.dev 2 points 3 weeks ago

Damn, 5 months? Girl, you look as if you took the definition of passing and crushed it. Jealous of your nose, it's beautiful.

Good work! It is bravery for us to continue to exist in these dark times.

Fuck yeah! Those assholes better stay scared of you.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 8 points 3 weeks ago

To thine own self, be true. That's the only way really. Just be strong enough to not be scarred by the darkness and always move towards the sunlight. Peace!
