Yeah that seems normal especially if they don’t have good insurance. I used to work at a pharmacy and I have seen plenty of insanely high drug prices. One time I saw someone getting charged a little over $4,000 for one prescription. That wasn’t estrogen though, I think it was something for cancer if I remember correctly.
Pretty great! I’m at 9 months HRT, and in the last few weeks I’ve gotten my legal name changed, gotten my ears pierced, and had my e dose increased. I’m also getting better at using my femme voice but I still struggle a little bit with using it in public.
I’ve never had a genital preference but for a long time I thought I was only attracted to women and I considered myself to be lesbian. However, after starting hormones I realized that I actually have no gender preference as well, but I still have a preference for people who are mostly feminine. Although it is just a preference and on rare occasion I will find a predominantly masculine person attractive as well. So now I consider myself to be pansexual instead.
Thanks for helping out Keris! I’m very glad she found a safe place to stay. I live in Minnesota too but I don’t have the means to help much and I was really worried about her so I’m glad to hear she’s doing well!
Was looking through an old hard drive today and I found some old pictures of me from before I transitioned. I only have a few of them because I didn’t like taking pictures of myself back then (hmm, I wonder why? /s). I thought about deleting them because I don’t like how I looked back then, but in a weird way they also made...
I don’t think I’ve ever felt that the way a specific emotion manifested was masculine or feminine, but since starting HRT 8 months ago, I do feel a lot more free to express myself. I cry easier and I tend to not get as angry anymore. I’ve gotten significantly more social and I smile more often as well. And overall, I feel like I’m living my own life now and not someone else’s.
I know I used to repress myself from expressing certain emotions beforehand. Perhaps that’s kinda what you are feeling? Which, starting HRT did help me break down some of the mental barriers I had surrounding those emotions.
I’m currently studying CS and I’ll get my bachelor’s degree next year. I’ve been searching for remote SWE internships for months now and have not had any luck. I even made a project to put on my resume and it’s still just rejection email after rejection email. Maybe I need more projects? What tips do you have for...
I’m looking for other transgender people to be friends with. I used to be antisocial but now that I have been on e for a few months I feel so much better and I want to find some friends to play games with like Minecraft, Terraria, and Spelunky.

So whenever I cum I still relate a whitish cum, I was kinda concerned and I believe it should be clear or non existent. Also my labito has been high. I’m on 0.30ml of estradiol cypinare once per week, I’m also on spiro but I’ve been off of a spiro due to a move and only recently restarted it. I’ve also been bad about...
That doesn’t seem abnormal to me. My T is below normal cis women levels and I recently had my e dose increased as I prefer it to be on the higher end, and I’ve noticed that increasing e dosage has increased libido for me. While it is common for trans women to have clear or non-existent ejaculate, some will still have whitish ejaculate. I don’t think whitish ejaculate is a cause for concern but if it is the color, consistency, and amount of pre-hrt ejaculate then it would be.
Went to get a prescription today (not hrt, a different drug) and this guy tried to cut the line and the pharmacist said “sir, she is in line next” and it made me sooo happy. (And then I was sad that I had to use my legal name to get my script, but overall happy for getting gendered correctly)
So for the past few months, usually near the beginning of the month, I will have a few days where I am super depressed and emotional. Today is one of those days. It started off with me waking up crying at 2 am for no reason and I was literally sobbing for 2 hours before I was able to fall back asleep. Then I waking up, I felt...
This is my 5th week on hrt (2mg estradiol, 100mg Spiro) and I first noticed breast growth and pain right at the end of the 1st week. Then for the next two weeks my breasts were pretty painful and even leaked sometimes. Now last week they suddenly stopped hurting completely for the entire week, however today they are a tiny bit...
