Linde,
As always I appreciate your replies to the thread! I have experienced all the different methods of eyebrow grooming. Plunking, waxing and now threading. I definitely like threading the most. My wife didn't get her eyebrows threaded because they were already pretty thin. But she had waxed about a month earlier. I am sure that whatever beautician you go to will be able to suggest the best method for you!
I am as you said a bit ahead of you with HRT, but you have such a major jump on me with being intersex!
As far as "feeling" the hormones goes I didn't get the big difference feeling with the increased dosage. I did start crying for no darn reason when watching a movie last weekend. A movie that was in no way sad! I loved the feeling, but felt alien as well. I have never done that before and have no reason fo doing it. None the less streams of tears were making their way down!
I have followed your Ochie progress and and very excited for you! I have been somewhat quiet on the forums recently, but am very happy that you were able to quit spiro!
The pharmacy messed up my last refill and did not account for the dosage increase. I didn't catch it and ran out last Sunday. The pharmacy said they could not refill it as it had not been long enough. I was without it for about 5 days before my doctor was able to call the pharmacist and tell them to give me a refill.
By the end of the week I could feel my brain getting all foggy and could sense the Testosterone creeping back in. It was a horrible feeling. Almost like a caffeine high. It made me rather unpleasant to be around.
That being said, I am doing well overall. I believe my breasts have gone through 2 more growth spurts and if I am starting to read the new signs of my body, I could be expecting a third one coming soon! It is exciting to see actual growth happen!
Hugs,
Lacy
Good evening Lacy!
What bra size are you now in? I am at a good 40 B in the left side, and at a wanna be 40 B on the right side, But as you said, I have some head start. I can't identify any growth spurts, my girls just hurt ll the time, probably a little more so, since I doubled the estrogen dose.
The crying thing is something, isn't it? I too feel really good be able now to let my emotions come out. I was crying in the car again the other day, because there was a semi sad story on PBS.
I am still glad that I had the orchi done, just not to have to take spiro makes it worth the while already. I really disliked the stuff. A side benefit of the orchi for me is that I walk now more like a natal female, which means, I put my feet almost in front of each other when I walk, because there is nothing that could be squashed anymore between my legs.
My next task is now to get my name and gender changed, to make me into a legal female, and once that is done, I set my eyes on SRS. But I do not need that to feel like a female, I almost feel like a cis female (that intersex thing may come to play herewith, too), and consider SRS to be more some kind of involved cosmetic procedure than changing my femininity dramatically.
Some contributors here say one never can stop to be a transgender person, I think that this does not really apply to me, because I still feel more like reclaiming my original body than being actually transgender. I don't know if that is kind of a philosophy I made up for myself to do the entire process pretty much free of any dysphoria, or if that can be considered to be reality? I think I have to ask my therapist about this the next time.
I wish you all the best on your further way, and still feel that you are a pretty darn good looking woman!
Hugs
Linde
