T down K up! I do hope that you are up and doing well.  The second week is always better than the first.  Within a couple months, you'll feel perfectly fine.

My T was 24 a few months into HRT. My doc hasn't checked my T or E levels since then (just the other concerns, like liver function, etc.), as my regimen hasn't changed at all since I started... and things certainly seemed to be "working," lol.

My spiro is the average dose, from what I've read and seen.

Sorry to hijack the thread a bit Kira, I'm just wondering if this is something all pre-ops should be worrying a bit about...?

My T level was immeasurable a few months before my SRS.  My endocrinologist had me on a hyper-feminization track.  Even after my orchi.  He did not want any testosterone from my adrenal gland interfering with my feminization.  Now I have stopped taking the spiro completely and as of my last test my testosterone level is now normal for a female.

As a result I have started to get a higher energy level and my libido is starting to return.

Sorry to hear about the complications. Hopefully nothing wonky goes wrong with me. My GF had something happen to her like you did. I'll have to ask her exactly, but I know that she lost a lot of blood at well.

Catheter is out and I am on a regular dilation schedule.  This happened last week.

Today I went in and Dr. McGinn burned off the copious amounts of granulization tissue that built up over the last couple weeks.  From my personal experience it tends to build up on wounds where the skin is healing from underneath.  Since I have a few square inches of healing tissue like this, it was bound to pop up.  My nerves seem to be healing just fine, since I felt a mild burning sensation for a couple hours after the silver nitrate (pretty sure) was applied.  Apparently the oxidizing silver makes the skin gray/black.  Dr. McGinn said I was doing great and will be healed up in a couple months.  She is going to try to work with me on minor adjustments to the tissue in the office as well since the hematoma spread things out a tiny bit.  She's great~

I appreciate everyone's support!
