but 50mg is too much beyond a temp dose usually

you mean on cypro, right? i'm on 300mg spiro...

Even on 12.5mg my T levels are almost nothing, which fucks

ok yeah i follow now

If your levels come out well and the side effects of spiro (mostly just pee Idk) are fine by you, dw abt it tbh.

yeah i'm planning to get bottom surgery (or at least I think I am? oh man that's a whole thing right now that I'm trying to process in small bursts) so I was just gonna go off anti-andros after that

[โ€“] ashinadash@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Yeah I mean cypro, which comes in 50mg tabs but should AT LEAST be divvied into 25mg halves, and I've seen as low as like 6mg. Spiro, anything from 150mg to like, 400mg? is normal.

The bottom surgery conundrum bocchi-head-shake going off antiandros is pretty based, good for your kidneys and/or liver.

[โ€“] rtstragedy@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

yeah, this is why i need to Perfectly Understand My Gender As Soon As Possible, so that I know I'm making the right decision.

[โ€“] ashinadash@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

kel-what But surely there's no pressure, and you can take your time deciding how you feel about it, right?

[โ€“] rtstragedy@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

yeah i decided on the 1-3 year option in a nearby city (that i used to live in lol, so at least i know it well) instead of flying across the country for the less than a year option, which came with a bunch of caveats like i have to get electrolysis done etc.

...this post is an opsec failure

[โ€“] ashinadash@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I couldn't dox you fwiw โœจ also caveats suck, death to the medicalisation of trans people under this system.

[โ€“] rtstragedy@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Thats a relief that at least (although I'm not concerned about anyone posting in bear site in this regard, come visit, but it IS a public forum), but it will be nice to be nearby and not have to fly for the appointments and surgery, even if it does take longer and I have to get hair removal.

[โ€“] ashinadash@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah it always sounded kind of harrowing to fly for stuff...

[โ€“] rtstragedy@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago

Yes especially after surgery ugh.

[โ€“] rtstragedy@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Oh but I guess at least I dont have to pay anything! That's an improvement over years ago when I started transition

[โ€“] ashinadash@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago

Free is extremely cool, yeah. That's awesome.

[โ€“] rtstragedy@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago

yeah totally, that's one of my motivations, being able to cut back on meds

[โ€“] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago

I'm no where near bottom surgery but it really is a whole thing meow-hug
