I got to see my lab results from Jan 13, 2012 today. That was a month into hormones. Next week will be 2 months in. My Estradiol was 163.6 pg/ml and testosterone .49 ng/ml...normal female levels. Yahooo!!! I see the endocrinologist next month for my first three month followup since starting hormones. I definately feel the nodule behind my nipples.....I know that's normal and a sign something is happening. I also have a urology referral, appt in 10 days, but I couldn't figure why. My primary doc had put it in and when I talked with him about it, it turned out a recommendation from my endocrinologist. Come to think of it she did talk about it as part of her recommendation to have an orchiectomy for health reasons. My insurance will cover the cost of the consultation but not any procedures so money will be a concern. Well, lets see what they have to say. With a testosterone of .49 (when the low of end of normal for a male is 2.1) my testicles really only get in the way. My wife asked me if I would have the surgery if my insurance paid for it??? Most definately and wouldn't stop at an Orchi. I'd have a full vaginoplasty. That sort of shook her......more evidence that I am serious about my transiton? Probably. She returns to America 2 weeks from today.
I am sincerely,

i could never cut away so much. i looked for the last time of pictues of naked men on collarme in disgust. men have such problems. i can't even stand the well built ones! yikes! so i'm outa there and fetlife. i have looked at a lot of trans m2fs and some approach beautiful even with their equipement. i don't like the hair all over the place on men and i don't like the lack of grace. i do like me though. women that are taking care of themselves i consider beautiful. but even there i seem to have a problem sometimes. maybe i'm not human? i think getting rid of the hairy problem is enough for me.
ReplyDelete:-) I have to admit I have little use for men. Other than yard work and lifting heavy things I'd live without them being around at all. Me too, about the hairy thing....yuck, but even guys that straight girls would find attractive do nothing for me. I am most deinfately attracted to girls. I agree that some trans women are really great looking and I don't have any problem with their genitals but I'd much rather have those of a gentic female. I know I can't have the ovaries and all the reproductive parts but the rest, oh yes....and I've felt that way for as long as I can remember.
