Male to Female (MtF) Transsexual Discussion

My Endocrinologist put me on Prometrium (Progesterone) as a supplement to the reduced Estradiol dosage that I currently take. As a result, I have been having the strangest, most far-out wacky dreams of my life. Usually, I do not remember my dreams, but those I have had recently are so clear and vivid to me. My question to you, Dear Readers: Do you have or have you had similar experiences? If so, do you feel as though the dreams you experienced had always been there, except that the Prometrium brings them more "out front", memorable? Thanks!

Transgender journey: recovering from surgery The Guardian When I got the date for my sex reassignment surgery, I wasn't so worried about the operation itself (I'd be asleep, right?) as its aftermath: how I was going to look after myself during the two months it would take to recover? I called my parents and...

I had an appointment with my endrocologist and he said he will give a referral for ANY procedure. I am still on cloud 9. After all these years of self loathing and doubt, of losing my job and getting divorced, of thinking that I was crazy or some k ind of pervert, I find out that I am not crazy or perverted and that that the light at the end of that tunnel is getting brighter. MY words keep running off the page so I'll get to hte end and say for everyone going thru this Keep your head up. Now the expensive stuff begins. A question. Would an orchide…

I got this last fall.

Hi everyone, I just made an appointment for a consultation with an electrologist next Thursday and wanted to throw out a question - she said that it could be a year, with weekly 1-hour sessions, to finish. At this point I'm just planning to get my face done (the rest was removed via laser) - does that time frame sound right? Thanks! Christie

Hi all, I'm post-op and looking for a doctor to manage my hormones who takes medicare in the Portland, OR area. Thanks a bunch!

I have been on HRT for nine months now and noticed my libido has (finally) appeared to have in a dramatic way tapered off. So I was wondering what others have experienced in their HRT timeline?

I am currently in Disney World living completely as a woman full time in every situation for almost two weeks. My license is updated with and F for gender and I am finally being called by the feminine name that means so much to me. So much is coming clear just in this past week that would not have made sense without the actual experience. Thank you so much to those of you on Tgguide who helped to prepare me for this event. This is a general schedule that I followed to reach this point in my life I thought I would share to help those who need help. 1. Read other peoples stories see similarities to my own and realize that I am not alone. I am not the first to go …

Is their any way I can have my penis inverted, splitt my strodum, keep my testicals & trhe tip of my penis as a clit and a 'pee menis' while acheving a neo-vagina? I just want to make myself look like a "little dick" male /w a mangina. I still want to be able to stand and pee.

Hi New to this forum, I am Stephanie Elizabeth Anne Butterfield, I am a campaigner for TS awareness in my home town in North East England. I am 44, was diagnosed in January 2007, and started HRT a month later, my responsiveness to my oestrogen has been quite good, being "B" cup going ontowards "C". I have my 3rd appointment with my Gender Psychiatrist on the 29th this month. I hope to get my first opinion letter for surgery as well as have my Estradiol raised to further boost my feminine development. yours Stephanie

Has anyone tried any of the at home hair removal systems? I'm doing research on three, the No-No, Tria and Silk'n SensEpil. Each works differently and all three are FDA approved. So far I've found mixed reviews on each, but the Silk'n SensEpil seems to have the best reviews. Before I go out and drop several hundred dollars, I'd like to know if anyone here has tried any of these at home systems?

Women's emotions are sort of like the feedback distortion from a speaker. A woman's feelings are more like an electric guitar, but men's emptions are like an acoustic (or sometimes a mandolin). Any thoughts on this?

I lay here in bed trying to sleep and I just can't keep my eyes closed I have so much on my mind and its so powerful. I wish I was a girl I want to be a girl but I'm here stuck as a man but one day I hope I wish I will become who I've always wanted to be.

My wife and I have been looking into it, and from what we have seen, Thailand is not only one of the most affordable places to go for transgender surgeries, but also one of the best. We're going over prices of everything right now from flights, to hotels, to doctors and procedures, pretty much everything. I've found a few clinics that look really good and are pretty reputable from what I've seen. Everything is in Bangkok, so we'll get to see a bit of the sights. But I'm posting this to see what everyone else has to say. Has anyone made the trip? How were your doctors? Are there any doctors or clinics you would recommend? I know there are a lot of highly skilled doctors do…

Has anyone actually had morning sickness when starting HRT? I understand when starting it can be like being pregnant and morning sickness is very possible. Anyone had experience with this?

I was surffing the net and ran in to this Junk. I don't think this is a JOKE! If it is it is in poor taste!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TG27SUUv6E

I found this to be pretty interesting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phytoestrogens http://www.dietaryfiberfood.com/phytoestrogen.php Phytoestrogens are chemicals produced by plants that act like estrogens in animal/"+human" cells and bodies. They are often trace substances in food, and can also be found in cannabis. These chemicals mimic and supplement the action of the body's own hormones, estrogen (the British spelling is 'oestrogen'). They are a comparatively recent discovery, and researchers are still exploring the nutritional role of these substances in such diverse metabolic functions as the regulation of cholesterol, and the maintaining of proper bone densit…

I was just wondering how everyone learned how to talk sucsessfuly as a woman, pitch and language. So far anytime i try i just sound like a guy making fun of a girl :/ is there any thing out there that helps?

As most of you know, I'm just half a woman still living as a man. I have to watch myself very carefully not to expose myself. Most of the time I'm pretty good at it. but the other day I was changing clothes and my grandson came into the bathroom to ask me a question and I was totally caught off guard. He is 5 years old and the look on his face as he stared at my breasts completely caught me off guard. I immediately told him that I would be right out and closed the door. What do you I tell a 5 year old when he asks why does grandpa have boobs like grandma? Have any of you ever had to explain this to a child? Thank God he forgot all about it later. But what if he should c…

Ok I have been setting here pondering again , ( yickes not again HeeHee ) Yes , I have often wondered , why it is that so many of us are so eager to leave the past behind and forget all about it , and while we are in transition why we have those moments that we feel ok with the past and others would like to have it burn up in a fire set by our own hands , and I also think that when transition or simply being post op how will this change , will we still feel remorce for the past , the life up until surgery , and will life be any less of a bad memory maker after . Well first off , I am and have struggled with the past , it has haunted my every waking moment why because a…

Out of curiosity has anyone had the following happend with hormone treatments? Teenage like acne breakouts in a person who is middle aged? I hear your supposed to develop b cup breasts if your lucky after years. I'm getting huge fast. I'm between b and c cup after 3 weeks. Anyone have similar development? How about nausea? Anyone have bouts of nausea? My doctor doesn't seem alarmed but seems suprised at the pace of development of many of the changes. He also seemed suprised my genitals have shrunk and my testicles are ascending at a couple of weeks. Should I be alarmed at the rapidity of change? My small town doc admits he's not very experienced regarding these…

I didn't know if this would fit here or not, but I have a serious question to ask everyone. Recently as everyone is aware in my recent blog, I got rid of a room mate who was like me, transgirl. Well they more in less not only disrespected my dad, but disrespected me. My feelings is and I am not sure if anyone feels the way I do, but refuse to call this former room mate by their chosen female pronoun because of the disrespect they shown to me and my dad. Do you think I am wrong for doing this or do any of you think that it is my choice, given the factor that I got disrespected the way I did. Also to add to this. My friends are this person's friend, therefore one of t…

Hi, my name is Lucia and I am a Male to female in the early stages of my transition. Ever since I have came out to my family and some of my friends, it seems like everything has fallen apart. My family has limit me from going to therapy and doesn't like where its located(its located in an area where its populated mostly by gays, lesbians and more.) My family is religious and doesn't believe in Transsexuality and think its an abomination, they also said even if I get SRS that I still be a man and stuff ='(. I attempted to go to therapy on my own, but I can't due to my family.Also I feel insulted by my mother due to her saying things like I don't have any features of a woma…
