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.

interesting that you cycle... but i guess not so much if you're taking hormones.  also, a lot of bio guys do have monthly "cycles" but not to the extreme like bio girls do.  They also go through a sort of menopause as well.  Or, at least, that is why I've been reading.

Hopefully the hormones will even themselves out since this was your first time after it was upped.

I still cycle even with the hormones, it just seems the larger dose made it more crazy. But, I'm sure it won't be as bad next time. I had pretty high estrogen and pretty low testosterone before HRT, so adding the estrogen affects the estrogen already in my body more so. :P  I'm on a pretty low dose of blockers and estrogen, but I got it upped the estrogen a bit to see if it would even things out.
