Haven't tried actual baking in the air fryer - curious as to how it goes and what are the benefits?
Made sweet potato fries in the air fryer to go with our dinner tonight and I think I've both finally got them as crispy as I can, and accepted that sweet potato fries simply don't get nearly as crispy as regular fries so there's a limit.

Welcome to Susan's Place.
I am on different medication than you are, so my experience would be different. If this is something that is concerning to you, I would highly recommend that you speak to your doctor about it. I say this for several reasons. No one here knows your medical history and we cannot dispense medical advice. Your doctor will know what meds you are being given, and at what dose, and can make adjustments as needed. Your doctor can also perform a breast exam or even order a mammogram to see what is happening there. If there is a problem, your doctor will know how to handle that.
It may not be a problem at all. Breasts do change size and shape throughout our lifetimes. It is not always about hormones and diet. The endocrine system is a complex part of our bodies and I think that your best option is to talk to someone that knows you and your body.
I hope this helps in some way.
Again, welcome to Susan's Place!

Thanks for the reply!
I see what you mean, I'm actually seeing my endocrinologist tomorrow, so I'm going to bring it up to him and see what he has to say. I have a tendency to jump to the worst possible conclusion, so it doesn't really do me much good to obsess over this stuff, I really hope he can help clear this up for me.

Huh. I don't think I notice peaks nor troughs. It seems very smooth for me.
My endo was a bit surprised that my level dropped in the latest testing — she kind of attributed it to something being off with the test — but said obviously we'll see what it looks like in three months and with the 50% increase.
My T levels have cratered and stayed there, so the spiro dosage is unchanged.
But maybe now that I'll be up to a bigger level on the patches I will see if I'm aware of any differences during the week. I will try to be aware of them.

I agree O&C, Chrissy is steadfast and always has your back!
The one giveaway for my wife regarding my gender is the size of my breasts. I do a good job disguising but at home, there is no hiding them.

Ok I'll try to keep this organized, but I've been going crazy over this. I'm almost 3 years into my transition, and this month I started seeing breast growth for the first time in over a year at least. I was very excited to see this, but it didn't work out how I wanted.
I tried very hard to encourage the growth, I quit smoking, even coffee, and tried to eat at a surplus every day. Of course this ended up being one of the hardest months ever, and I relapsed several times into depression and self starvation. For context I have and ED called ARFID, which impacts my motivation to eat, especially when I'm mentally unwell.
My left breast has always lacked tissue below the areola, and I was getting pains there, signalling it was finally beginning to fill in. I'm sad to say at a low point I was ignoring this feeling, and then got that awful sensation of your body giving up on developing tissue, like kind of a burny feeling. Now my boobs are sore, especially my right, and it seems to be filling out, but my left one is no longer developing tissue where it was going to. I'm honestly very worried I blew my last chance to have a rounded out left breast.
The other factor is I've been on cyproterone for about 4 months, and I think this is what triggered the growth. But now I'm experiencing a progesterone-like filling out, and I'm worried I'll never have another growth spurt for breast duct tissue.
Has anyone else had this kind of experience, starving during a growth spurt, losing potential growth, has anyone come back from it? What are the chances stunted tissue can resume growth? Is that even possible?

Quote from: LoriDee on Today at 03:53:15 PMI should add that if you see any yellow metal-looking rocks, you can send them to me and I will pay the postage. 
@LoriDee Dear LoriDee:I imagine that they would be heavier than normal rocks
especially if they are solid yellow... but you would know best.
The postage could be expensive!!!!HUGS, Danielle

Sounds like a really special day, Sarah.
I read about it a bit. The Ode of Remembrance is quite lovely:
"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. We will remember them."

I obviously cannot answer the question but like Devlyn I did a simple online search of my deadname. And it appears to be nearly non existent, I found just one from 22 years ago that gave my address as a company director at a house I have not lived in for 20 years. That's it.
