#estrogen — Public Fediverse posts

First time wearing fishnets to the office... and you bet I went all in with violet-blue and of course like always, barefoot! 😈🦶

Also: daily estrogen on board (2mg whole + 1mg half, always ready in my titanium vials) and... drumroll... last day at work before a full week of chillin' and grillin' in a cozy little cabin retreat.
No emails. No shoes. Just nature, naps, and hopefully a delicious amount of things sizzling over fire. 🏕️💜

Third pic? Oh, I know what you're looking at... the camera sure knew what mattered – those mesh-covered legs in full glow, front and center. You're welcome 😏

Where to even begin:
I've had a WILD fucking past 5 days. I'm all set to do HRT on September 12th, but I foolishly talk about fatigue and the endo delays HRT. AND then I get unplanned labs the next day. Also dydrogesterone isn't in the USA so neighbors of it are needed.

Now then, we move to Saturday: I have a LONG car ride during which I'm only able to attend the concert parts of Splatoon 3's Grand Festival. And then we see the Green Day concert after the drive and some preparation. Good times, except we lose track of our parking at the end and my feet by the end of everything was in physical pain. Also someone detransitioned but that's besides the point.

Sunday is quite a lazy day, apart from the car ride. Fast forward to Monday: I'm with my grandparents for an appointment, and they of course like the old me but I've now seen their mental decline and had to stop them from being scammed twice. I get through all the misgendering. And then at the appointment, I fortunately ended up 5 minutes late because my mom missed two turns. I say it was fortunate because in my absence, two IRL friends I've known for many years and who I knew were somewhat right-leaning but amicable (one was a delinquent who got expelled and my dad hated him, and the other was a long-term friend of mine but who was worried about the extent of my transition.)

And then they flushed their dogwhistle ruse down the toilet by mocking pronouns and telling another friend of mine who literally knows everything about me that they will always deadname me. My good friend calls them KKKonservatives in response. I witness none of it, and am only informed AFTER seeing my therapist that night.

I tell the story to LGBTQ+ college clubs, and my older college was much more chipper about it. The current college gay club featured two cisn't people who offered support ruining it by using dude/bro on me and starting to buy into the "bro is gender-neutral" bullshit, and I ended up the next day telling a nonbinary campus therapist, and they gave a referendum order to the club.

AND then my fucking Panda Express clerk keeps fucking calling me Sir.

AND one person who I always talk to early in class decided to attempt to mislead me about a test that wasn't happening to make me mad.

I'm SO fucking done with people, and I'm listening to some VERY feminine songs to emasculate my thought processes. Maybe I DO want mental changes from E?

I'm just so fucking done with being seen as male. I'm intersex and nonbinary, and how far do I need to go to prove I'm neither male nor female, especially the former. Also fuck Nintendo for Professor Oak's questions. Saying I'm a boy or girl is almost exclusively untruth, so either way I'm lying to Oak except not because I'm bigender between binaries (technically I'm a demiambonec/demibigenderfluidflux, going by polygender as a catch-all, and at one point before the fae contention I called myself a genderfae demiboy [Though I am English and Irish so MAYBE fae isn't as charged for me] so there is that. So the answer is both of the Oak questions and simultaneously none of them.)

It's a complete fucking mess in my life right now, and I've been listening to some rather interesting music, much of it emo.

AND the psych and primary labs haven't been done/fixed either, and I'm having issues with my personal PC.

I'm just so fucking done right now. If you have anything positive to tell me, do so. #cryforhelp #lifeupdate #medicalerror #medicalhorror #hrtmorelikehurt #hrt #endocrinologist #americanhealthcareisbullshit #americanhealthcaresucks #splatoon #splatoon3 #grandfestival #finalfest #parkingwoes #parking #footpain #detrans #misgendering #dementia #alzheimers #pandaexpress #betrayal #bigotedfriends #delinquents #dogwhistle #therapywoes #supportgroupfailure #deception #estrogen #synthetichrt #intersex #fucknintendo #ambonec #bigender #genderfluix #fluidflux #UK #irldrama #emomusic #techissues #greenday #concert

(Boosts appreciated, though I live in Australia and this is a specific issue with CPA, which is not approved for use in the US, so I am aware only some people may have any experience with this.)

I started taking cyproterone (CPA) in May last year, then estrogen in June.

I'm very happy with my oestradiol levels which are 350-450 pmol/L (over 100 pg/mL), measured at their lowest.

My T levels are also great (tiny!). The CPA was working so well I cut down from 12.5mg once every day win May, to now taking it only once a week.

The problem is that my prolactin levels are high, over 500 mIU/L in my last two tests. This could lead to problems. (I do note that the ideal range I am going by is the male one, as I couldn't find a more accurate safe range for my situation.)

From what I read, high prolactin levels are not uncommon, and it's something to do with the combination of CPA with estrogen. I don't know that reducing CPA further will fix it.

I need to have another test soon, and then see my GP to work out what to do next. I might get referred to an endo who has more of a specialisation here.

I have a number of questions I couldn't answer from the internet. If anyone has helpful input that would be very much appreciated!

Question: Would there be a different safe/ideal prolactin level/maximum for someone on feminising HRT? (Ideal male range listed on my blood tests are 85-500 mIU/L.)

Question: I'm currently taking CPA once a week, but I have no idea at what point in the week would be the best time to get the most useful (average? high maximum?) reading. I had these previously high levels tested in a trough, just before taking my next CPA dose, but maybe this wasn't ideal. I'm thinking 3 or 4 days after, just to kinda get a mid-week average?

Question: If this is just how my body reacts to E+CPA and I have to find an alternative, I am aware of 1) spiro (I would prefer to avoid that due to the side-effects), 2) bicalutemide (I have not looked much into this yet, but it maybe stops T absorbtion rather than production so side effects would be different), 3) SERMs (I don't particularly want to reduce breast growth - not that much has grown!), and 4) get an orchiectomy (I am interested, but it's expensive and I have no idea where to start!). Is there anything else I haven't considered here?

Question: I researched Endocrinologists in Sydney and I have a list of a few options based on reviews and recommendations, but if anyone has a strong recommendation let me know?

Question: I mean, if anyone has information on the process (and cost) for getting an orchi in Sydney I'd be very interested, even if that may not be an immediate option.

It's frustrating that my E+T hormone levels are great and I feel good but there's just this one lingering issue I have to deal with =/

Thanks in advance, even for just reading!
