Quote from: Charlotte Kitty on August 13, 2026, 01:13:20 PMI do sometimes wonder if my transition is just an ADHD obsession and dopamine source. But then theres no way I could go through with the things I am if I wasn't at least gender flexible. I'm guessing most people would get distressed at the idea of being the opposite gender? I think some days I'm male in my head, but still love having a more feminine body. In any case it still feels good so I'll just run with it!

Me in a nutshell. 🙂

I think a lot of us starting out have those questions, searching for the "why".

Eventually, we reach a point where why matters less than how or what.

I just wonder sometimes with not having that strong childhood dysphoria many have. But it feels right and I just go with my gut. I'm kinda happy I got to live as a man and now get to live my final years as a woman. Unlike many I don't hate and regret my life as a man. But it's just not for me now...I feel different. Not sure I'd go back and change anything.  The only single thing I sincerely wish I could change in my life is my psychological state. Everything else happened as it did and I'm perfectly at peace with it all.

My dysphoria was not Gender Dysphoria when I was younger. It was more like Body Dysmorphia. I had no concept of gender and assumed it was tied to sexual orientation. It wasn't until I got into therapy that I learned the differences and could then look back and say, "Oh, yeah. That was me."

 Now, my attitude is No Regrets, No Excuses, Make it Happen.

I'm now on day 7 since my 5mg injection of estradiol valerate. Would i feel it of my levels had dropped low? I feel just like everyday really. Getting tested next Saturday as wanted two doses in first.

There are days I forget to take my HRT. I don't feel any different. When my wife and I travel we frequently just leave the HRT at home intentionally.

I've been off HRT a couple times, once for surgery. After about a week I started feeling the difference.

YMMV.

I forget sometimes and used to think there was some hidden meaning like maybe I didn't want to transition enough. I have realized I am just crazy forgetful. I now use an app to tell me when to take everything. I will mess up but it helps. Some old person keeps turning the volume down on the phone, GRRRRR!

In the weeks since starting progesterone my boobs have technically increased from B to C cup - 38 band 41 breats. They are still at least two sizes too small for my liking. Again they are very easily hidden by fits not carefully chosen to show them so i still need enhancers in daily. In my swimsuit i look flat chested with C cup, and don't kvow why. They do seem to squash down very easily so think thats part of it. They are not very solid, quite floppy. Considering this I'm looking to get minimum DD but really want E cups!

I thought I was doing great until I got all clever and bought one of those grandma pill cases. That's when I discovered exactly how often I was skipping them. 🤣

"Hmmm, it's Tuesday...why are Mondays pills still in here?"

Yes, I use one of those as well!
