So, I've always cycled monthly, but I got used to it as a grew up. But now that I'm taking hormones, yikes! It goes crazy on me. One of the girls I talked to at work the other day -- when I was at the point of feeling that I could either bite someone's head off or break down crying -- asked me the question, "Is it that time of the month?" Which proceeded with meds.
I guess I'm lucky that I don't bleed, although I'll get cramps (I don't know why). But, it's annoying either way.
I also had my dose of estrogen upped, which has been great for feminization, but wow, this was the first time being on that dose and cycling.
I'm not sure why I cycle, and if that's something that others experience or not. I don't do anything with my meds, or cycle the medication to bring it on -- it's just a constant dose. It just has always been with me, but more crazy with the hormones and then more so with a higher dose. The catch-22, better results when it comes to feminization, much more bitchier PMS than usual.
What's even crazier is that I live in a house with 3 other women -- we all get it at the same time. 'Nough said about that subject, one could imagine what it's like.
Anyway, that's my story. Again, I have no clue why I cycle and why have since I was in my teens, and why the estrogen makes it much more dramatic. I actually had to take work off yesterday because of it. But later it calmed down and we had a girls' night.
