🏳️⚧️Mtf 24, Advice, doubts, worries, side effects. Talk to me.
Hi!👋, i started hrt 4 months ago after years of wanting this and wishing that. Currently I am taking spiro 50 mg daily and just upped my E to 0.075 of patches.
My E and T levels aren’t the best last time I checked it was 60 E 341 T. I have since upped my dosage and have no idea what my new levels are but probably slightly better but not ideal. 🤷♀️ I’m working on it.
At first starting hrt was so relieving. It felt like a doomsday timer‼️⏰ has been turned off if that makes sense. I also feel happier with the way I look or am. However I’ve been experiencing some unpleasant side effects. Mainly brain fog/anxiety or just feeling weird. It’s not everytime but I typically feel this 2 hours after I take spiro and then it goes away after 30 minutes. But sometimes it just happens randomly. It goes away but this brief window is kinda stressing me out.
Im worried as I continue it will only get worse. And yes im going to speak to my healthcare provider about this but Im just worried and it’s hard. And I don’t know if this is normal or a sign that I’m doing something wrong. I don’t know if anyone else has felt this before. I’m lost. And it’s hard because I finally feel I have a good thing going and I’m scared it’s not gonna work out. Or I’m just waiting for a blood clot or something bad to happen 😭
My goals with hrt are just to feel comfortable living life doing normal things with my loved ones. And it’s WORKING!!! So far. But I’m so scared I’m going to hit a wall where I have too much brain fog and anxiety or no energy. Or my libido goes away entirely. I am currently using and not losing lawlz. I just want normal things I am so easy to please. And worrying about this sometimes makes me have doubts if I’m actually trans or wish I wasn’t. But I have more signs saying I am. And if I could have a perfect world I would be born a girl and feel how I feel when I’m doing good.
Anyways I have nobody to talk to about this stuff and it’s scary if anyone has advice I’d love it so much. Or just a Reddit friend where we can rant about this stuff.
