Oh thanks MB, you know Im REALLY happy with the results of this

Lately Ive been getting asked for ID when buying cigarettes!!! That NEVER used to happen to me

Im definitely more confident and I notice people seem nicer in general to me now The best thing is just seeing the difference every day in the mirror though... As hard as it was, and it was brutal its totally worth all the $$$ and pain....

A month in and the pain is finally almost totally gone, I still get headaches now and then but nowhere near as bad as they were... My nose is still a little sore and the scars are healing nicely but sometimes they will itch really bad but I dont dare scratch them.... Sometimes things will throb uncomfortable an I'll get shooting pains, shocks and itchy sensations seemingly randomly Still some swelling in my jaw and chin and it comes and goes day to day but I can see he really was aggressive there and I like it

The numbness is SLOWLY getting better and lately I can finally get a good night sleep, that sucked not being able to sleep

Im not real happy about starting smoking again Im thinking Im gonna try vaping.... I definitely feel like my HRT doesn't work as good but it does also help me control my appetite.... Last thing I want to do is gain back the 10 lbs I lost from the surgery with spring here

I still have a bunch of patches and as an experiment Im gonna try going with one patch 2-3 days after my shot in an attempt to keep things steadier (and higher) and I might as well use them up before they expire... Im feeling pretty good 3 days after my last 20mg shot but I swear when I smoke my E metabolism goes into overdrive The last few shots I felt low on day 4 afterwards, Im hoping to fix that with the patch...

I have no idea what smoking would do to P metabolism but Id think it would interact with oral P... Im on my week off P now but since I started smoking again it seemed like I could tolerate more P 100mg before bed was enough and more than that just seemed to make me feel like crap... Lately 200mg has been just fine though, when I go back on in a few days Im gonna experiment... Probably 100mg in the afternoon and another 100mg in the evening...

It even seems to interact with my spiro, I could get by with 150-200mg before but for a while now I like 300mg a day and at that high dosage I see no bad side effects...

Tough to quit the cigs I did go more than 5 months cold turkey though so I know I can do it, Im already getting sick of buying them again so Im thinking its gonna be soon....

You using estrogen patches ?

[EvaMarie]

Yea I have a pretty good stash of them but I do shots of EV every 5 days... Just experimenting, patches are pretty weak but Im hoping to smooth out the ups and downs from the shots a bit with a nice steady flow of E from the patch Lately even 4 days after my shot no matter the dosage I feel low on E

So far it seems to help but Im gonna get my shot tonight and I know Im gonna feel great tomorrow

I am sure you can get higher dose patches .

[EvaMarie]

MB dear I think your confused.... Im on estradoil valerate shots, they are way more potent than any patch... The patches I have are the highest dose made but they are still pretty weak IMHO and their designed to ease hot flashes in already feminized older women... Id need to wear at least 10 of these patches to get the same dose of E I get from one shot
The patches wont cut it when your talking about going MtF, I NEED plenty of E

I donno I have a good stash left over from when I tried them back when I first started on pills, they did help then a little... I figure it cant hurt to try them to very slightly even out my E as an experiment... Shots give a fast rise to a high level over a day or two then it falls nearly as fast while the patch gives a much lower very steady level of E....

So far it does seem to help even if its probably mostly psychological

Maybe , I should try patches to get my boobs to frow

OK here's an update for anyone who cares.... Im 5 weeks post op and while the swelling is a LOT better there is still a lot on only the right side of my jaw This is my new hair color and style, Im VERY HAPPY with it Im looking forward to seeing if "blonds really do have more fun"

My only complaints so far is my TOO POINTY chin.... I wish he would have taken more off the projection
Still WAY to early to worry about revisions though and I can live with it for now

This is my everyday "soccer mom look" LOL!!!

Hey thanks Sis Yes Im starting to really like the results now Its a hard thing to go through and I was scared Id look like some kind of freak for a while I'll admit It just keeps SLOWLY getting better by the day

Actually Im already used to it and I have a hard time remembering what I used to look like... Its very nice to see a much more feminine face in the mirror every day for sure

I can say that so far blondes DO have more fun!!! The quality and quantity of men who are interested is sure a lot better now I wont go into details here but just WOW I gotta ask "did that REALLY happen???" Ahh yes hon it sure did!!!
