Does anybody have experience with progesterone creams?

I feel like I am at a point in my transition where I might benefit from adding progesterone into the equation. However, I have heard wildly different opinions on whether it has any impact at all, and criticism of generally available creams on amazon for not being the same as human progesterone, since they are often derived from...

I honestly wouldn’t trust hormones from Amazon in any form, but I have heard that creams in general have a lower absorption rate.

If you’re not doing DIY, it’d be best to talk to your doctor about it, since they’ll know the best form and dose of it for you to take and you’d also be able to get it from a pharmacy then too.

One of my worries about hormones that aren’t from a pharmacy are that since there unfortunately are people out there who don’t like us, they may purposely make products to harm us (which has happened before, I don’t remember the name of that product though) or they may make products that don’t work to scam people who are desperate and trying to DIY.

Two ideas I have:

  1. Find some other place that is primarily trans men and advertise this community there. I’m not sure where that would be though.
  2. Ask people to recommend the trans men they know this community.

Just make it obvious that you’re trans. Like on my dating profile I say that I am trans and that I am on HRT. I have the trans flag emoji in my bio also and two pictures of me with a trans flag. If they don’t know that I’m trans then that’s on them for not bothering to look at my profile for more than 1 second.

I’m a trans woman and I honestly think that I very well may end up having to hide myself in my parents attic or something.

I tried it just for fun and it underestimated me. I’ve been on e for 7 months so my breasts are still growing and I currently have D cups, but the tool said mine would be B cups.

I’m a trans woman and I started to express my self femininely when I was just a toddler. I grew up in a rural area where I was always told that I am a boy and that I will grow up into a man who will have a wife and many children. I genuinely had never heard of queer people until I was tween, when my peers started using gay as an insult. If I had been taught about queer people when I was a kid, I definitely would have realized that I am trans then, and I wish I had been because being raised as a boy when you are a girl is extremely traumatic.

People can be born with all sorts of strange and terrible conditions, but somehow there are people who think babies can’t be born with a brain that is a different sex than their body. Either that or they think the body should take precedence over the brain which is insane considering only one of those is sapient.

Getting an Internship?

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...

This reminds me of when I wore trans pride socks and my mom thought that they were just regular stripy socks and she said “I used to wear socks like that when I was your age” and my sister and I were so confused lmao.

Getting super emotional and depressed on a monthly cycle?

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...

Got gendered correctly by a stranger for the first time today!

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)

Propaganda

What they said is a line from a song we are made to sing as children. They don’t really teach us about life in other countries, we have to do that ourselves if we happen to be curious.

I’m literally at work right now and I am choosing to browse lemmy instead of doing my job.

Do younger people go home earlier now? Or go out less? Is it since COVID?

Someone asked a question about how frequently young people have time to socialize and it made me think about what people do with their evenings. I recently asked my son to go to a concert (free ticket to see a band i know he likes) and he declined because it was an hour away on a weeknight. If we invite our kids or niece/nephew...

I am a young person and I only leave the house to go to work, but I am currently looking for a wfh job. There’s nothing really interesting outside and the weather is rarely nice. If there were less roads and stores and more parks or places you could just exist in then I probably would go outside more, but that would be during the day and not at night. Usually during the evening I just lay around and relax. I am so tired and stressed from the day that I never feel like doing anything when I get home.

Is it normal for breast pain to come and go?

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...
