I usually don't like pictures at all but recently, with my face softening and rounding out, I don't them as much. I just love estrogen [emoji173] even though I might get a blood clot and die

I mean...half the world population has been on estrogen for at least 4-5 decades...soooo....and pregnant women, very, very high levels of estradiol!
I put off starting my transition a few years because of all the horror stories on HRT. I kept hearing stories about
people dieing of strokes or blood clots. That stopped me in my tracks because, I am one of those people that hits
their toe on a table leg and thinks I have cancer now. On my first doctors appointment I ask the doctor "have you ever had a patient die from anything relating to HRT?" She said "In my 8 years of practice, No."
I feel safe with it now. lol
Hugs,

If you are worried about it then it's easy enough to lower the odds to near zero with some other positive lifestyle changes.

I'm on warfarin so that is why I was allowed to begin. On a prophylactic note. Aspirin may be all you need. Ask the Doc.
Now that the aspirin was mentioned, I remember the first doctor telling me about taking one which I was already doing.

I have been successfully on HRT with fairly good results for over 3 years now.... I am enjoying the full-time female lifestyle and as far as I am concerned it is well worth any risks...... the best time of my life for sure.
.... and the good news is that I have not picked out a casket yet.... perhaps cremation however when it is my time?

I'm donating my body to University of Washington for research and surgical practice. I hope my brain can be used for research for what makes us the way we are, After they are done they will cremate my body and return the ashes to my family.
It's not the worst way to die. I mean hopefully it doesn't happen but surely we always take chances.

Aha! The CAUSE of dying from HRT!!!!!!
Oh the Hindenburg!
Well the GPs sure like telling me there's a certain risk factor of death from HRT, but it's not really death from HRT is it - it's the increased risk of death from organ failures, strokes, high BP, heart disease, liver complications etc. that testosterone fails to protect against (or slightly exacerbates). The hormone itself isn't known for killing anybody.
So I'm not seeing my odds of keeling over go up much provided I take care of myself in other areas and don't abuse the gear. The lower life expectancy of men compared to women is probably more due to a) more risk-taking (or dumb) behavior or b) more men doing more physically dangerous or detrimental professions on the whole than anything significant to do with their hormonal make-up.
I haven't felt better in decades since HRT to be honest. I feel like I'm 19 all over again.

That may or may not explain the average lifespan of men, but women own the top ten oldest people list. There's not a man on it. Surely there'd be one smart bloke that never put his finger in a light socket or smoked cigarettes that would crash that list? ;D

And now, ladies and gentlemen, arriving from out of the blue is Miss Devyl Marie, first to beat the top ten - the torch has been taken!!!!!!! :)
I don't know how true this is, but there's supposed to be an Indonesian dude who's pushing 145 according to a newspaper, born in 1870 (148). I'm a bit skeptical of the numerical details, but he sure looks ancient.
I think women just take better care of themselves in general too. They seem to think more about their bodies and check stuff out more, they go to the doctors more often and don't tend to hold off till they're practically dying of something like guys do before they'll go see a doc (guilty). I suppose there could be all sorts of reasons.

Well, we'll all have to go to Florida and drink out of the Fountain of Youth or is it the Fountain of HRT, I forget - need to take my memory water :)
As medical science continues to extend lifespans, it's probably true to say that at some point, stupidity will become the leading cause of death [emoji23]

If it's a blood clot that worries you, that risk was associated with Premarin (which I hope no one is taking for any reason anymore) and the types used in birth control pills. The risk with estradiol is practically nil and the warnings are only there because of the other drugs.

Exactly that. Inform yourself and soon enough, your fears will be allayed.
In 3 months I will have been on Estrodial Valerate for 20 years without a break! That is a hell of a lot of sharp needles I've jabbed into my buttocks over the decades!
At age 53 I have no health concerns. I am healthy, happy, and full of energy and vitality.
And seriously, let's face it, we all must die of something, no exceptions. When I'm done acting a fool on this planet, I plan to leave this body behind anyway. Amen and pass the syringe!
Love,
