I recently started to feel connected to my body, which is very new because I don't remember ever really feeling like I really inhabit it before. Definitely not the way I do now. But with that, I have started having a lot of dysphoric feelings. I work in a craft store and there are pictures of happy beautiful women everywhere.
The other main thing that brought on these feelings is that me and my girlfriend are having a disagreement about fertility. I want to get a sperm bank so I can start Hrt, but she is worried the insemination will fail and then we will be unable to concieve. I am okay with donor sperm, but she thinks it is important to be our child. I would like it to be our child, but I don't know if I can wait that long to start as that is years down the road.
That in mind, does anyone have any ways to deal with dysphoria? Does anyone know of ways I can start hrt without making infertility permanent? I mostly want the "fog to lift" as some decribe and to have a figure more matching my feelings. If i could grow breasts and then stop for awhile but stay on anti-androgens perhaps? I am meeting with a gender specialist in a month and I know it is best to get a professional to advice on genes and whatnot, just seeing if anyone else ran into a similar problem and had advice.
Much Love,
Bren
