I bought some hair removal cream for men today, for my body, and it's worked! My legs and arms are virtually hair free, I feel so much better, I felt like crying tears of joy when I took the cream off revealing my smooth arms and legs... All I need now is to find a decent hair removal cream for my facial hair 

Veet Hair Removal Cream for men - if anyone's wondering

Thanks for the tip!  There are facial hair removers and I bought one to try which didn't work and kinda burnt a little so I wouldn't recommend it

With "practically nothing to do this afternoon, I thought I'd try and see if I could get a picture taken that looked half way decent.

Took a couple of full body shots but I'd swear my bare legs look like a cro-magnum's and there's no hair on them, lol.
And the ones that I didn't look like I had ape legs were kinda "frozen pics" which is result of my not liking to take pics, I freeze up.

When I thought I had a decent shot I'd push the button and the damn phone wouldn't take the pic.  Go figure.

Anyway, I finally found one that is passable, I think and that's what I'm happy about along with Appy fixing the spot on my old one!

Prepare for the very uncomfortable regrowth. Shaving style bumps and itching coming your way. Just get wax next time.

[SarahFehrman]

I woke up late today and the sun was beaming in. I got up and looked in the mirror and it looked like something on my head like dry skin or powder. When I looked closer I have hundreds if not thousands of little tiny hairs "peach fuzz" where my hair had receded. Is this possible for this to happen in a month?? Either way I have something there now and before it was smooth as silk so Yeah Me! 

Hugs,

Good for you, sweetie - how lovely! You're SO pretty, that will just add even more to your beauty.

I'll try that. Nair (any of it) proved useless. I wound up burning myself the first time, the second and third times I still had to shave after using it. And it's so stinky!

When I tried the creams it just left stubble still anyway, not sure what's up with that.

[Northern Star Girl]

My skin is not compatible with Nair or Veet, leaves red bumps and a rash or burn.  Laser and electrolysis leave my skin very irritated, sometimes with red bump.   Waxing is kinda OK, leaves bumps sometimes but since my hair regrowth after 3+ years of HRT is very slow and when it does come back it is very fine...  I can get by with shaving my legs and chest every couple weeks and shaving my face every 4 or 5 days.  When I was a young man I could hardly grow stubble let alone a beard and my chest had maybe 3 hairs on, I was the butt of jokes in the locker room.... so that is a benefit now that I am Full-time.

Being much older than most people on planet earth, my prostate, which started out life about the size of a walnut, is now about the size of a coconut. Needless to say urinating requires Flomax. I normally take a pill once every third day. I've only been on HRT for five days and I have already noticed that peeing is a whole lot easier so I am dumping the Flomax as of today; thanks HRT. Next, chest bumps.

I tried Veet on my scrotum several years before I went to waxing salons. I had to leave the stuff on for a fair amount of time for it to do its job; before the timer could ring I jumped in the shower to put the fire out. I swear there was smoke coming from that area. I couldn't believe the pain, it was like a blowtorch was burning the hair off. Once I got the stuff washed off, there was icky looking matted hair and my testicles were fire engine red... and RAW.

Couldn't find anything to sooth them except tons of powder. During the healing process it looked awful (I'll spare you the gruesome details). Several weeks later it pretty much returned to normal; never again. From now on it is professional waxing.

Hello,

Today I am happier abstaining from the porn and adult dating sites. I miss some of the friends, and lovers I want to stay close with. I hope I haven't lost any relationships to anonymous sex.

Sincerely,

Robben Wendy

I've ordered this one from Amazon called Soft Sheen Carson magic shave, it's supposed to be really effective, I'm praying that it works, it should save me so much hassle, I'll update with how I get on

Opened up my email and text app to lots of nice comments about the radio interview I did last night.  An hour of discussion with the host who knew almost nothing about the trans world.

I did send him to glaad's site to read their media guide as to not embarrass himself.

It went better than I expected.  It was like coming out again but this time I really was screaming from the top of a tower.

Just another plus for HRT's, peeing is easier and no need to take Flomax again.

Finally made appointment for HRT evaluation with a trans specialist recommended by my therapist. Still (3) weeks out, but it feels good to just take that step!

[Laurie]

It is good to take that step, hon. And it isn't a little one either.

@ Katie:  That is super good news....  taking that first step in your transition endeavor will always be a very memorable moment for you, and a very important life changing moment for sure.   

The next step, if it is taken, will be to start HRT...  it will be a very exciting moment for you when you take your first HRT meds. ... but rest assured that there will be many other very exciting moments after that.

Please keep us updated so we can share your experiences with you and celebrate with you and your sucesses and to  support you when there are disappointments and frustrations.... 

Oh, and another thing to look forward to is changing your profile "Ticker" from "Starting Therapy" to "Starting HRT"....  I will be looking for that to happen.

Hugs,
Danielle

The bad news was when my partner failed her mammogram a week or so ago. The good news was after an hour and a half of imaging and scanning today, she was declared free and clear of problems and healthy. What a relief!

Thank you Laurie and Danielle. There will be a next step as long as they let me. I'll probably start a thread when that happens.
