Hey!!! Had my first laser consult yesterday! I played it off as a cus male wanting to just do neck hair! (But with possibility of more cause I hate body hair) I did sign the forms in "Gender" as "They/them" so im proud of that. I'm just worried about doing my full face....cause of boymoding.... important for my work but I am suppose to he clean shaven everyday... I don't know.. I am dysphoric about all my body hair, even neck hair! Part of me is like once I do my face, there is no more hiding! Help! 🤪

So I'm at the end of my second month. I had my final refill of 0.05mg patches, which includes 8 patches total, and I change them twice weekly. The problem is I tried putting a patch on a new spot, on my rib cage, but it ended up peeling off even with Tegaderm. This method has been really good for me, and I wanted to give my tummy a rest from the usual spots, as I only place them on one side then alternate to the other side. The ribcage spot failed, and I tried to salvage the patch, but to no avail! So now I'm going to be about 5 days short before my 3-month appointment with my Endo! I'll probably be prescribed a stronger patch because I'm just doing monotherapy, but I need to get bloods done that week! What can be done here!? 😕😧

I felt like past two days maybe I was becoming aware of my nipple area.. Previously almost never but today, exactly 4 weeks since I started HRT I'm feeling like something is happening. No androgen blockers just 0.05mg transdermal patches. 44 years old!
